Neutral Wonderland

Published on January 24, 2012 in Color Palettes, Decor, Fashion and Seasonal. 1 Comment

Currently digging everything neutral, tonal, simple, structured and textured.  I had been eyeing so many things on Pinterest lately that were too good to be true, and when I piled all my favorites onto an inspiration board, they coincidentally came out like this…  which almost looks like what January feels like.  Icy and calm and quiet with kind of an edge, yet beautiful.  Yum.  I would like to toss on one of those frocks and sip a cocktail on that sofa.

Have a great week!

Sunday Sounds

Published on January 22, 2012 in Music. 0 Comments

This is dedicated to my dear, sweet co-blogette Steph, a lover of all things Sunday: croissants, the morning paper, a hot cup of coffee, her binky, and her morning walk with Gus Gus.  Steph, I know I’ve been promising to send a mix CD of chill songs for around, oh, 4 years.  Wellll I haven’t quite gotten to that yet.  But a close second is this smattering of songs, below, to play on quiet afternoons when you’re pitter pattering around your adorable Chicago abode.  Love ya girl!  Without further ado:
