I’ve had this idea for awhile to combine two things that I love into a regular feature. Growing up in Philly listening to 93.3 WMMR, I’ve always remembered “Double-Shot Tuesdays” where the DJ (usually Pierre Robert) would play back-to-back songs from the same artist…
The photos of our townhouse in my post back in July were sadly devoid of any artwork on the walls. Since art is deeply personal and integral to the design as well as the look-and-feel of a space, I invite you to check out our progress on the decorating front…
I was inspired to write this post after a friend on Facebook announced that she had recently lost several pounds and was able to go shopping in her own closet. She could now gleefully fit into a bunch of once-forgotten, barely-worn clothes, automatically expanding her wardrobe options–all without spending a dime. What a great concept! […]
Yes, folks, today is my 39th birthday! I wear it proudly because, well, what other choice do you have? If you’re not aging, you’re either a freak of nature, a vampire or…six feet under. This past year, I bought my first house (turns out that having a mortgage feels very adult), attended the coolest conference […]
Is it me, or are you also a tad bewildered that Labor Day is already long gone? (I’m almost equally amazed that we’ve been in our townhouse for exactly six months now!) It was the ceremonial end to summer, and the weather will soon turn cooler, but I’m not mentally prepared yet to capitulate…
You know, I so wish I could tag this post as part of the “What’s In My Wardrobe” category. Instead, it stubbornly resides in “Aspirations” with no real hope of crossing over. Unlike last year, I didn’t have a chance (or, honestly, the motivation) to parse the Fall 2012 Collections…
Last year, I wrote a series of popular “Inspired by Nature” posts which showed flora-meets-fashion visual relationships. Well, I recently found some more examples at my mom’s house. Think of these as summer’s last hurrah as we get ready for fall.
More photos from a recent visit to my mom’s house. This time, several eye-catching objets d’art paired with their runway equivalents from the Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collections…
My mom may not realize it, but her house near Philly is always a treasure trove of inspiration for me. The last time I visited, however, was over the winter holidays so I was definitely due for another trip up I-95. Although my recent stay was only three days long, we had a lovely time […]
By now, you have probably heard about the late Dr. Albert C. Barnes and his multi-billion-dollar art collection that was, up until a few months ago, housed in a mansion in the Philly suburb of Merion. The eccentric Doctor filled the walls with works by Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse…
