I am a huge fan of everything Diane von Furstenberg puts her genius touch on so you can imagine my excitement when she announced that she would be collaborating with Spring Global and launching a home collection in the Spring of 2011. My house is ready for a little DVF aesthetic! If her home collection is anything like the rug collection she did with The Rug Company in 2006, fashion fanatics are in for a real treat! Here are a few of my favorites from the DVF rug collection. Simply gorgeous!
Attention all pregnant readers in the SF Bay Area! We are working with style expert/author Amy Tara Koch on her upcoming Bump It Up book signing/party at the W Hotel on May 26th and take it from me, a woman with a 13 lb pregnant belly!, this will be an event not to miss!
I’ve read the book and it’s the cutest guide to staying your chic self while your belly is rapidly expanding…sketches from great designers like Donna Karan and DVF, as well as tips from NY fashion editors, some of them, coincidentally, my old friends!
Of course Amy {who is hilarious, by the way} will be signing books, but there will also be pampering spa treatments from Bliss Spa, skincare treats from Mama Mio, a “Faux Glow” bar from Lancome {Amy swears that the ‘pregnancy glow’ is an urban legend!}, bra fitting and “4th trimester” shapewear seminar brought to you by Wacoal, car seat and stroller demos by Britax, and of course yummy treats in the way of cupcakes from Sprinkles and delish mocktails.
{Just RVSP to rsvpwsfevents@whotels.com to join us- I’ll be there! And you don’t have to be pregnant to come, of course…}
Stick a fork in me. I’m done. Between watching Melissa’s adorable baby bump grow week by week and having an amazing baby lifestyle client, I just can’t help but notice… (okay, fawn) over some of the baby apparel and accessories that are out there. Especially when they have have a sense of irony. These metallic driving mocs are so cute I’d wear them on my fingers!
I have noticed that my sweet tooth is kicking into overdrive lately. And the recent craving of choice…a Snickers bar. Something about the yummy perfection of caramel, peanuts and chocolate makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. {My childhood cat that I had for almost 10 years was even named Snickers!} When I stumbled upon this recipe on Cannelle et Vanille, I knew I MUST try it out! Don’t you think that this grown-up version of my childhood favorite looks absolutely scrumptious?
While I loved Rita Konig’s old apartment, I was happy to see she had moved into a new one. {I selfishly want her to constantly move so I can see what she does with each place!} As much as I still miss Domino, her posts on T Magazine’s blog help to fill the void.
Now that the weather is heating up and the days are a little longer, I’ve been on the lookout for good warm weather albums to freshen up my music library. A friend recommended this album by Beach House and I haven’t been able to make a playlist since that doesn’t include at least one of the songs. The album is a bit of 80’s synth mixed with hauntingly beautiful melodies and good old fashioned song writing. Are there any albums that you’ve recently added to your sunny weather mix?
