dream home: a chelsea studio

for only 400 square feet, this chelsea studio, rented and then purchased by jay, packs a big punch. the whitewashed walls do wonders in opening up the space.the shelving unit that separates the bedroom area from the rest of the space is genius - the bottom boxes are filled in for storage with small drawers while the top remains open to let light through and make the space feel larger. i'm especially fond of the living room, which is at once masculine and cozy. the amazing thing about the space is that although it's tiny, it looks large! you could have multiple people over in that living room and not feel crowded at all! the kitchen is extremely well stocked for such a small space - and the finishes are beautiful. ahh, LOVE IT. jay's place is proof that you can make a gorgeous something out of a very small nothing.

dreaming of dries

van noten, that is. this sweater is majorly on my wish list.

dream outfit: baby it's cold outside

what i wish i were wearing...perfectly dressed for winter..here in NYC it's been bitterly cold - yesterday, the wind chill took the temperature below zero. i'm all for cold weather, in fact, i much prefer it to warm weather, but sometimes the wind is just too much. it's one thing to layer up and get bundled, but it's entirely another to not be able to walk two blocks before your lips go numb. mother nature, you know i love my scarves and hats, but please, chill out on the wind.

prada SS10 ad

the bag is to die - but the ad's a bit dry, no?

kirkwood for rodarte

these boots make me salivate - it takes multiple people to lace them up, of course - and few mere mortals could pull them off (kate lanphear, i'm looking at you), but MAN are these babies beautiful!

now THIS is a jacket

can't even handle how insanely crazy fabulous gwen stefani's jacket is.

sparkle motion

i have a big soft spot for sequins. BIG...really big. i love anything that sparkles, glitters, shines...you name it, i own it. i can't even count the number of sequin tops i've scored at salvation army and thrift shops; my nails are always polished with glittering colors, i own about 20 bare minerals shimmering eyeshadows...glitter eyeliner, glitter lipgloss - i've got it all. as new years is coming up, i have a chance to wear as much glitter as i'd like - which means, of course, that i'll be going all out. however, if i could have my pick of the litter, i'd be wearing the phillip lim sequin t-shirt dress. ahh, mr. lim, you never fail to woo me.

taste the rainbow

these colorful rooms make decorating in all white seem so boring. white is tranquil, yes, but interesting? when compared to the rooms below, not at all.
