Pretty Shiny Things

All that gold.

Prettiest.Kiss.Ever.

Isn't one of the greatest things in life when you are so 'in like' with someone that you want to put it in lights? Not exactly sure where you would hang something like this, but it's great.
Ta Ta for now.

Sugar & Spice

Some times girls get in a really, well, girly mood. They want to play dress up like they did when they were 5 years old and just dance around. So, do it.

Put on your dancing shoes for this, ya hear.

What's up, Witches?

Boo! Sorry I have been on hiatus for so long now. Busy, busy weeks followed by eventful weekends- you know the drill. Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. Cheers to taking full advantage of dressing in something bizarre and actin’- a – fool!

Carving pumpkins was a bust with Joyce. Maybe a combination of our A.D.D. and a super scary movie on TV?

Here are some pictures of me and my beautiful friends during some festive bar hoping in uptown. The clubs and bars were nuts- even more crowded than usual, eek! (A hippie, Geisha, Liger Tamer, and Mr./Mrs. Pac Man... and my poor dog dressed as a banana)

Found this New York Times Vintage Halloween picture & fell in love with it. Consider it eye candy instead of regular old halloween candy, yumm!

Up, up and away!

I couldn't be more excited about going to LA next weekend- mini girls trip to see our very dear friend who we all miss very much!

B, Kate H, me and Christen- just found out Joyce is joining us, too. Can't wait!

Hair-spiration

This look is beautiful!
Fall to do- learn how to braid my hair like this.
... Or, maybe it would be eaiser to take advantage of my resources and have one of my very best friends (Christen- the braiding bad ass) to learn how to do this to my hair.

New Apartment. New Canvas.

I'll be moving in two weeks and I'm sure everyone can agree that moving SUCKS. Even though I absolutely love my place now I am excited to deal with all the design challenges my new place will bring. So, I came across some pictures and I want to incorporate these design ideas. (The pictures aren't really cooperating and came out kind of small- just click to enlarge.) Let me know what you think!

1. Love the color of this chandelier!

2. A touch of pink, please.

3. Gorgeous wardrobe! I would put my most colorful dresses in here for display.

4. Love this orange couch- especially with the dramatic walls!

5. Gold details... yes.

6. Great patterns in blue.

7. This bed could be every little girls dream.

8. GREAT CLOSET: A. display of shoes B. pink chaise C. WITH drawers. I die.

9. Peach, black and white are making out all over this room. I dig it.

10. I won't have a fireplace in my new apartment but I just liked the look of this. I tend to hate animal print (so maybe this zebra bench will catch on fire) but the black walls make the fireplace pop and the mirror adds to this look without taking too much attention away. Love it.

11. I really like the pink and white stripes- it's really nautical without being too obvious. This balcony is calling me to come outside... coffee and a good book, I'm there.

12. These colors are so intense. I had a bedroom in college with walls a smidge darker than this- it took some getting use to but I loved it.

13. This couch pattern is beautiful and the coffee table is full of entertainment- candle, books, magazines and pink ash trays- yes.

14. The lamp is to die for and I love the pattern on the curtain and pillows. I'm not sure how I feel about that color green though. It may be too preppy for my taste, but overall I like this look.

15. Pretty Pink Power Room

16. Dramatic & Romantic. LOVE it.

I'm thinking about doing a little before and after shoot of the new place- could be fun. Maybe show what kind of design projects I'm working on... I'll keep you posted.

XOXO Kate
