a two for one

Julie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:45:33 +0000

A two for one in my book. Yeap, you got that right! I took an evening scroll through Facebook. Blah, blah, blah…you know how that goes. One click leads to another, and somehow you end up somewhere and you are not sure how you made it, but you did. Tonight I found myself clicking on the Tory Burch newsfeed that was accompanied by the picture of two lovely ladies below. Perhaps I clicked because I was wowed by the scallop detail at the bottom of this new shirt these two ladies from the TB Marketing team were working. OR maybe it was the sign for “spoon” that is blurred in the background.

Why the fascination with spoon? That little sign made these concrete sidewalks actually mean something to me. This is the street I work on, and spoon is basically our neighboring friend. And a housewarming, inviting friend if I might say so myself. They offer up that sweet, yummy goodness of southern hospitality. It is one of those lovely unique city treasures, tucked away off the busy 7th Avenue.

So for tonight that’s all folks. You got a two for one. One of my favorite designers, Tory Burch AND a new local favorites the fab spoon!

I’m a fan of ALL of these picks. Nothing else needs to be said, right? Plus, it’s Monday. I’m tired. Nothing is working yet or wants to be “thoughtful” when it comes to my brain activity.

and that’s fine because these picks just speak for themselves. Ahhh…inspiring, but wouldn’t we all be inspired by Turks and Caicos?

I’m Alive!

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!!

funSTUFF galore!

I sure did get my fix of this place today. I spent over an hour looking at trims and ribbons, and contemplating over what I liked the best. The store is literally floor to ceiling FULL of any little trimming “thing” you could ever want. More to come…

Have a splendid LONG & RELAXING weekend!

Garnet Hill just made my day. Look at these Bloch Baby Ballet Slippers. My sister-in-law owns a ballet studio, and has a passion for dance. If and only if she was about to have a baby girl not trying to freak ya out Stacy then I would order these precious little things without a second thought. They are crafted by Bloch, “the world-renowned makers of professional ballet shoes.” One word: Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“These exquisite baby ballet slippers are the height of infant fashion.”
