I have been sick. I mean really really sick… and let me tell you, it’s not helping when the weather is dropping into the very low 30s. To stay warm I have been consuming mass quantities of tea and layering on more sweaters and scarves than a jcrew ad, but alas the sickness prevails. Thankfully, with all this down time I have managed to find a ton of cool things to share - especially...

It’s Santa’s workshop over here (my apartment that is) and I am knee deep in gingerbread men cookies, handmade holiday cards, and gift wrapping… It’s a wonder I find time to go to my day job too! Post Christmas I will be packing up my life and moving a long long long ways away (all 2 miles down the road). I’m still collecting apartment inspirations and in so I found...

I will be your screech and crash, if you will be my crutch and cast.
I will be your one more time, if you will be my one last chance.”

Today has been blissfully uneventful. I’ve been hanging out at home in my pajamas with Mr. Leo all day! Now before you wrinkle up your nose and think “ewww what gross lazy cat woman sits around in their stale jammies all day?” let me inform you that it is freezing outside AND raining AND Mr. Leo is adorable and quite cuddly! You would do the same. ADMIT IT!

This book will be mine oh yes, it will be mine.
Atlas of Remote Islands, Fifty Islands I Have Never Set Foot on and Never Will, by Judith Schalansky is a hauntingly beautiful look at the worlds most remote and hostile islands. Not only are the pointillist illustrations drool worthy (yes yes, I like books with pictures, big deal!), but the text is utterly mind boggling. Schalansky writes like a...

Since the holidays are rapidly approaching I encourage you to embrace the season - nibble on a candy cane, sip on some hot cocoa and turn up the volume of your favorite holiday music. No I don’t mean Christmas with the Rat Pack (not that I have anything against Deano and Frank), I mean music that you actually like to listen to, that also just so happens to be about Christmas. You may be...

This place is Marrakech, a busy city full of people on mopeds. I had a lot of fun exploring the souk and getting lost in the many winding alley ways. Morocco is by far one of the most photogenic places I have ever visited. I know, I got a little carried away with taking photos of doorways — but what can I say, they were all so interesting and beautifully designed. I couldn’t pass...

My new favy blog to frequent is called Eat Drink Chic (great name right?!). It is filled with amazing little treasures — like these adorable DIY holiday tags. Amy Moss runs this beautiful blog and offers tons of other free stationary printables. I am totally making these this year.
Each week I tackle difficult questions by channeling the inner wisdoms of the thin white duke - Mr. David Bowie. This weeks question comes from an anonymous follower: “What do you do when you get your heart broken?”. So dear anonymous follower lets consider, What Would Bowie Do?!
The answer is actually quite simple: You dance. That’s right, just put on your red shoes and dance...

I am in love with Maxim Dalton’s illustrations, especially his homage to the Beatles! This is an excellent Christmas gift idea for anyone, because lets be honest - who isn’t a Beatles fan? Dalton is releasing a limited edition of 500 so hurry up and order!
