New Year, Fresh Start

The beginning of a new year brings with it the chance for a fresh start. After a difficult past year, the prospect of starting over in a hopefully *new and improved* fashion is music to my ears.

The Simple but Very Pink Sofa

Conventional wisdom says that since a sofa can be among one of your most expensive furniture purchases, it’s best to go with something safe. You really can’t go wrong with a simple, neutral colored piece that’s easy to clean, after all. And while the more practical side of me tends to agree, I can’t help but smile when I come across a vibrant, unabashedly pink sofa. I’ve been seeing them a lot lately and I love them all! Seems like the key to making a trend like this work is by picking a sofa with clean lines so there isn’t too much going on.

Summer Hair Care Essentials

July 23, 2012

Despite a break in the high temperatures this weekend, it was still persistently sticky and humid in Philly which usually spells disaster for my naturally frizzy hair. I contemplated hanging up my blow dryer and flat iron for the week but I have an important meeting today that I think calls for a straight ‘do. [...]

Concept Board: Fusion Sunset Bedroom

July 5, 2012

When I saw the Fusion Pillow at Anthropologie, I instantly wanted to design a room around it. I love the brushstrokes, the colors and how it evokes the sunset on a warm summer’s night. The possibilities for decor options are endless but I decided to go with a bedroom concept using rustic touches for added warmth, [...]

Food Memories

July 2, 2012

The last two weeks have been a blur. I went to New York twice – one of those times to see a taping of The View (fun!) – and I just got back to Philadelphia from visiting my best friend from high school in Washington last night. When I’m out of town my usual almost-vegan [...]

Image via my Instagram I’m heading to NY this weekend to spend some time with friends and family and to go to a couple of places in the city I’ve been meaning to visit for a while. I’m hoping this weekend will be the recharge I need to be more productive moving forward since I’ve [...]

Like Buttah

June 14, 2012

I’m not much a lip gloss girl and sometimes lipstick can feel so fussy so I’m excited by the new lip balm/lipstick hybrids that have recently hit the market. My favorite – which I have been using almost everyday – are the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters. My favorite shade is a sheer bright pink called [...]

When in doubt, hide it

June 13, 2012

Since I basically live in one room, I’m always trying to figure out ways to maximize storage. My apartment came with two wooden bookshelves which I appreciate for their utilitarian purpose, but I wish they were slightly less, well, ugly. I tried to take the shelves down but they’re bolted to the wall. Since I needed [...]

Thoughtful Tuesday | I believe…

June 12, 2012

…that school can only teach you so much. …that you can be nice at work and still be successful. …that great style doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. …that it should cost more to buy fast food than real food. …that you are responsible for creating the life you want. Image via WeHeartIt

Things I Like

June 11, 2012

I started my weekend off by going to the grand opening of a new boutique in Philadelphia’s Antique Row called Things I Like on Friday night. The next day, I treated myself to small indulgences on an impromptu run to Whole Foods. I rounded the weekend off by taking a stroll through the park (where I found [...]
