I am still here. I have lots to say, but still do not have time to type it all out of my head…meaning I am bursting with lots of things to blog about, but TIME is SO fleeting. If only I could freeze frame everyone else’s life, then I could leap forward a few days, weeks or even a month!! But since that’s not the case, I am playing catch up to life right now!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in an architecture design charrette. It was quite FUN, but the schedule was jammed pack. Meaning laundry, groceries, cleaning, sleep and LIFE in general all took the back seat. We got to work with an architect from New York, David Lewis of LTL Architects. He was very intelligent, personable and a super innovative designer. The best part about it is that he has an exhibit design that is about to open at the MoMA in Manhattan, and we got to see the presentation of the whole design process + exhibit. Until then it had not been seen by the public eye, too bad I had to “forget” that I saw it. So…I cannot tell you about it, but in two weeks [if you live in nyc] you can go to the MoMA and see the work for yourself. Here is a sneak peak of the upcoming exhibition, this link will tell you more about it.

And lastly…I discovered the NEW Spring 2010 Toms Wedge in Real Simple Magazine this month. I am COMPLETELY obsessed!!! I think I will be ordering these adorable wedges as an addition to my spring wardrobe!!

Just to get it out there, I want to express my deep love for “all things quatrefoil“. There I said it! It would be an understatement to say “I merely like this four-lobed shape”. I do not know what it is about it…maybe it is the symmetry of the shape that I like. I am drawn to balance. Though I might add I’m really liking the asymmetrical trends in fashion that are surfacing for spring! So, maybe it’s the simplicity of the complex decorative framework. I know those two words contradict eachother, but think about it! It really is geometry at its finest! Now for the pretty stuff:
