junie b. jones for halloween

Ruby chose to be Junie B. Jones for Halloween.

(a popular kindergarten + first grade book series)

As my daughter, she should know by now that some creativity

needs to go into it.

She selected one of her favorites, 'The Mushy Gushy Valentime',

and whaLA!...We put her IN the book.

jonathan adler

I was in Boston last weekend with my girlfriends and a trip

is never complete without a little shopping.

We hit Newbury Street and I finally checked out

Jonathan Adler in person.

Fun furniture and accessories in great colors!

Here's a sample of what caught my eye.

My girls and I out the night before.

leg warmer trend

Leg warmers are back!

...but fortunately they've been updated since

the 'Flashdance' era.

Love these I found on the runway.

...then I had to try them myself.

Here they are updating my 4 year old ankle boots.

Very comfy!

HIPSTAMATIC app for iphone

My new favorite app is HIPSTAMATIC.

I love the bright colors + old school quality.

Today is the perfect fall day!

house+wears: leather + brass

Relax on this daybed in your house + wear these great buckle booties.

fall porch scene

Here's my front porch embracing Fall...it helps that the sun is shining.

The Indian corn wreath makes it complete, a gift picked up at a local farm by my friend Paola.

color collections: persimmon

Oh how I love the color orange for fall!

Mix in a little red and you've updated to persimmon!

art displays

I love the tight-knit horizontal row of pictures

grouped over this desk.

When photos or any objects are displayed unconventionally, it's more interesting and has a stronger impact.

This grouping works because each piece is simple

and they compliment each other.

I love the way they have it displayed to the floor.

This wall is eye catching because of the

common subject matter and great colors.

design museum holon

The Iconic Design Museum Holon Building outside Tel Aviv is a public art museum in progress for the last 4 years. I love the different shades of red and beautiful steel ribbon-like facade!
