Last night Krystal arrived at my place, bags in hand, all set to crash with me for a few days while she interviews for jobs this week. To celebrate her being in New York, I whisked her off to my favorite BYOB sushi place in the LES called Cube 63, where we munched on Volcano rolls and spicy tuna. YUM. Then we went to Spitzers for drinks and gabbed for a few hours. Let me say, for those of you that have never had the pleasure to spend time with this lovely lady—I was lucky enough to meet her the first time around at the Weardrobe conference last September—she truly is lovely. I am crossing my fingers that she moves here, and soon. xoxo
Guess Who’s In Town?!
For those of who that read the awesome blog, This Time Tomorrow, then you know exactly who I am talking about. Krystal (shown on the far left) just arrived into NYC last night for a week and will be staying with me for part of her trip! I am so excited to reconnect with her after finally meeting her at the Weardrobe Conference back in September. If you haven’t read her blog, I highly recommend you check it out immediately, as well as Katy’s blog (in the middle), Kansas Couture.
**Love this picture. We had gone shopping at Fred Flare and ended up walking out with identical sunglasses. Obviously we had to take a photo.
Playing Catch Up…
So, my life has done a few flips lately, which has caused my normal schedule to become a bit more busy, which includes working on a side-hopefully-soon-to-be-main-project that I am super excited about. However, it does pull me away from my computer more often, which partly is my reason for no outfit post over the past couple days. That, and no tripod. But I finally picked one up today, so hurrah for that! Anyway, above are some photos I took last week (found the camera cord!) and thought it would be fun to share them with you all!
So, last Thursday, I began a busy afternoon by meeting up for coffee (tea in her case) with the lovely and absolutely most beautiful pregnant woman ever, Joanna. Then I jaunted off to meet up with Allie to attend a very cool preview for a Carlos Falchi and mark. event, and afterward, we headed up to meet a bunch of girlfriends to partake in our annual White Elephant Gift Exchange. The gathering took place at the sweet wine bar, Uva, and we had a blast sipping wine and munching on cheese, bread and figs. I scored a very cool Philosophy “cookbook” filled with yummy smelling bath gels. That’s Kelli next to me, who looks like she is perched atop my shoulder wings. : ) It was a busy, but fun-filled night.
Did you do anything fun last week? Where do you like to spend time with friends? Would you rather hang at someone’s house or head out to a favorite wine bar or restaurant?
Have a lovely weekend!

So I wore my ruffled sweater out last night and got all sorts of compliments on it, which along with all of your amazing comments (you guys are awesome, seriously) I feel even better about rocking the shoulder ruffles. I took all sorts of photos, but for some reason I can’t find my camera cord—if it’s not one thing, it’s something else!—but promise to share outfit photos soon, so thank you so much for always being so patient. Really, my dear readers, you have no idea how much you make my day, everyday, with your thoughtful opinions and lovely compliments. So, once again, I will say…THANK YOU!
Cheers, and have a truly fantastic weekend! xoxo

Good morning! Sorry for no post on Friday…the day sort of got away from me, and with no tripod (it’s currently living in Seattle right now) I haven’t been able to snap any great outfit shots lately. But, stay tuned later on to see today’s ensemble, which will consist of layering button-downs. In the meantime, check out this awesome story on SheKnows.com, where seven fashion bloggers, me included (!) predict the big fashion trends of 2010. Definitely give it a read. The other “blog-girls” (female bloggers, get it? That pun is for you, Mike) included are totally worth checking out. Thanks so much to Erica for letting me be a part of this! Cheers, and Happy Martin Luther King Day! xoxo
As Seen In All You: DIY T-Shirt Project!
I recently combined forces with my decor savvy best friend Allison, of Swatchbook to work on a very fun DIY t-shirt project for All You. Our assignment: take ordinary T-shirts and use very simple sewing or non-sewing techniques to create fashionable tops. After a couple weeks of hard work, we came out with 11 transformed shirts and tanks! Click here to see the whole project.
