[note: I wrote this post in November of 2010…but we close on our new house today/move on friday and while packing up boxes over the weekend, I couldn’t help but reminisce on the good times we had in this space. I am reblogging this post because it pretty well captures the living we did here. }
We love this place.
We love our records and books and dunnys and computers.
We listen...

5 Reasons I am pretty sure tomorrow is going to be...
1. Tomorrow at 3:00, we find out if we are having a baby boy or baby girl!!
Take the anticipation you feel the night before Christmas/Your Wedding/And the Opening Day of College football…roll it all up into a bundle of enthusiasm….and that doesn’t even come close to capturing how excited we are to find out about our nugget!
But that isn’t all. It seems as if the universe...
Guess who [else] is going to be a big sister...
Huge congrats to Charlotte (and G + John, of course) on the impending arrival of baby #2!
I couldn’t be more excited for their growing family… and selfishly, I sure like having a buddy to go through this whole pregnancy business with!

Victoria Beckham // April 23
This is such an emily-outfit! (By that I mean, it is a VB outfit that looks a whole lot like what i wear to the office most days between the months of November and March.)
If you swap out VB’s designer pieces for their Zara counterparts, and paste on a too-big smile, this would pretty much capture my preferred look, my “uniform” if you will.

a saturday in april
This Saturday was pretty fantastic… It was a gorgeous spring day (cool, but sunny). The type of day where you could easily spend all afternoon outside. Which is pretty much what we did. Hazel gladly tagged along for the Record Store Day activities and a Food/Walking Tour we took through Bucktown. She was such a little urban-baby trooper that we decided she totally earned some...
You Asked: Great Bags for (about) $300
Hi there! I have a little tax return money and I’d like to spend it on a decent bag since I usually end up buying a ton of bags, but none that are really of a great quality. Can you recommended something classic, every day, but a little unique for under $300? Thanks so much! - Josie
Oh fun! Purse shopping with (someone else’s) generous budget. This is what i found for you…

Easy is for Other People
Today at work, my director gave our team a pep-talk of sorts. We have some aggressive goals ahead of us this quarter….tough goals…the type of goals that are going to require a lot of very smart people to put in some very hard work. After laying out the challenges we face and the proposed path forward, he said something that totally landed for me. He said:
Easy is for other people....

He makes a point… Unless of course you just so happen to be one of those people who can run so fast in a pair of stilettos you are the reigning high-heel-athon champion. I’m just saying…

Happy Birthday to my friend Chris
There is a picture of me and Chris standing in front of Lincoln Center… It was snapped just a couple of months after I had moved to NY. It was a really warm night and swing-dancers filled the square, we were on a walk (on our way back to hell’s kitchen after seeing a documentary on the upper west side, perhaps) It was the first time I had seen Lincoln Center in person. Breathtaking!

“i’ve always loved intelligent girls, no matter how they look, to be able to hold a conversation with someone is so important. the moment someone acts dumb, i lose interest. i think about the subtext and layers of a person when i design. i design for someone who has interest in the space around her, who is aware of her relationship with the world, someone a little evolved, a little...
