Looking forward to cooler weather and warmer tones… light layers and warm soup… redecorating and updating… shorter days and falling leaves… and of course, the holidays. * FACEBOOK * TWITTER * BLOGLOVIN’ *
Bebop’s Got a Brand New Pair of Wheels! {Pug Video}
Our pug, Bebop Pugman, is eleven years old now and for the last 3 years or so he’s been having trouble walking due to nerve damage in his lower back. Though he’d drag his legs and bloody up the tops of his paws on occasion or fall down while he was trying to pee, he’s …
The Viceroy Hotel Sovereign Villa Suite 105 Palm Springs
We’ve been staying in Sovereign Villa Suite 105 at the Viceroy Palm Springs for the last five days and four nights and honestly, we could move in for the entire Summer and be perfectly content! It’s a 2bedroom/2bathroom little Spanish house with a full kitchen and dining room and extra small reading room or office …
We Are Art ~ The New Art.com
Among all the things I wanted to be when I was a child, artist was high on my list… next to ballerina, veterinarian, and fashion &/or interior designer, of course. As I grew up and tried my hand at many things, art and expressing myself through art was still a huge part of who I …
Dogs in Sunglasses ~ A Failed Attempt at Cute Still Produced Adorable
Thinking I could actually get my dogs to sit still long enough to get a great shot of either of them wearing my Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, was clearly too high an expectation, especially given the fact that my dogs lack length in the snout-al region. Nevertheless, with snacks nearby, I got the classic shades to …
It’s my Birthday… again.
Judging by the 2 candles on the cake, I’d say this was my second birthday, 1978 Today is my 36th birthday. Which means, I am now closer to 40 than I am to 30, and nowhere near 2 – – and that is a bit surreal. I often hear people say I don’t feel {insert …
What Is Success?
Success means different things to different people… or it should anyway, but more specifically, success seems to be almost exclusively tied with fame or fortune – and more importantly, both, without many variables in between. But is success really that clear-cut and uncompromising? If it were based solely on fame and fortune, then would you …
My Life… Photos… New & Vintage Finds…
This week will go down in history as one of the top 5 craziest weeks of my life. Yes, I feel a little dramatic even just typing that but it really has been insane. My manuscript was due to my publisher on Monday and admittedly, I’m a few days late in sending it in. Oh …
Turn Your Favorite Instagram Photos into a Movie with Animoto
I caught this tech post out of the corner of my eye while working on one of my various jobs at BlogHer.com and was IMMEDIATELY INGTRIGUED. I’m in love with Instagram. It accounts for most of the time I spend staring at my iPhone so why wouldn’t I want to make a movie out of …
One look at You & I can’t Disguise
What I’m Wearing* J Brand black coated leggings/jeans {courtesy of J brand jeans}… I love them. They have little sparkles all over them but are subtle and from a distance, have a leather-like look. They’re pretty stretchy and since I’ve lost a few lbs, I could have sized down, but they are comfy!* Vintage black …
My Experience at BlogHer’11 …in a nutshell
Wow. I mean, WOW. BlogHer’11, what can I say? I had a blast. The nerves I had building up to it were pointless. Once there, meeting all the fabulous women, it’s hard not to just settle in and become part of the madness. Though, in fact, I wasn’t so much a part of the madness, …
…around the house, as of late.
The husband prefers to work at the dining room table in the middle of all the “action”, as I like to call it. And even though I love to see our beautiful table free of clutter, I try to look past his piles of notebooks and scripts because I know that’s where he gets his …
Cheers to a Happy New Year Lovecats!
2010 left me pooped! My goal is to make 2011 a stress-free zone …who’s with me? Life is too short to be unhappy and stressed out right? They say reality is all perception, so let’s do our best to change our perspective whenever reality is less than fun. It’s time to start having some fun …
It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas
Wearing Thrifted chunky knit sweater, {yes the one in my last outfit post} over Trovata plaid shirt/tunic dress with leggings, thigh high black socks from American Apparel, Jeffrey Campbell over the knee boots {that don’t actually stay over the knee – got these in 2008 :/} and a black pashmina scarf & gloves. IT WAS …
How I Quit Smoking the Easy Way
originally published on September 19, 2010 One of the best emails I’ve ever received was a thank you from a girl who had read my Dear Lungs post and used it to help her quit smoking. She told me that she printed it out and kept it under her computer keyboard and every time she …
