I purchased two Dolce chairs from Target a couple of months ago off of the internet. We just got our furniture moved into our house last night, so we put together the chairs today and I just love them! I read through all of the reviews on Target, so I knew they would be easy [...]

Greek and Roman Busts
Posted in Art on September 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I thought it was just me and my boyfriend that became obsessed with Greek and Roman culture this past year (mainly because of the HBO show “Rome” and a trip there over Christmas), but lately, I’ve noticed busts used in interiors and gardens. Busts and statues have been popular for centuries, but I think the [...]

Since we are still waiting to move into our house, my boyfriend decided that we would at least enjoy ourselves and make a mini-vacation out of the situation. So, all weekend, we have been staying at Lake Las Vegas Resort, which is just down the road from our new neighborhood. The Mediterranean style resort is [...]

During the tour to 5 cities (San Francisco, Miami, New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago) in October, eight designers who are prechosen will create original designs similar to House of Diehl’s own “Instant Couture”, all in a nightclub with a [...]

Zara clothing store has been one of my favorite stores for a couple of years now because of the great prices and styles. I was so surprised when I was in London and I saw these store windows across the street from Harrods. I must have been living under a rock because I [...]
Random Acts of Kindness

I was feeling a little bit sorry for myself this morning (we have been living out of suitcases for three weeks) when the best story came on NBC’s TODAY Show. It was about how random acts of kindness can really impact and change a person’s life. On the internet, viewers have written in with their [...]
Dorothy Draper’s Greenbrier Decor at Auction
Posted in Decor on September 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We are still waiting on our house to be completed (any day now!), so we are staying in a not-so-famous hotel-casino. It is nice, but nothing compared to The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. I use to spend my summers traveling past that part of the country, but never had the chance [...]

Leaving London yesterday was so hard, but I return home to find that Alice Temperley, a British designer who grew up on a farm in the English countryside, has designed a line for Target. As a designer, Alice is known for her prints, details, and charming, yet sophisticated pieces. Alice launched her [...]
Portobello Market

We are flying home today and I was thinking about my favorite day here and decided that it was Saturday morning, when we woke up early and went to Portebello Road for the famous flea market. Held every Saturday in beautiful Notting Hill, the market is an antiques lover’s dream. It was neat [...]

Last week, on the Daily Candy London edition, I read about a picnic in Holland Park to celebrate the start of London Fashion Week. We decided last night to go to see artist Usman Haque’s “Burble London”, a structure of over 100 balloons that have special lights and are able to look like golden [...]
