A year or so ago, Scott and I stumbled across this eBay seller who specializes in DIY Home furnishing books from the 60’s and 70’s, and since then, we’ve developed quite a collection. I’m not telling Scott about this one (hopefully he won’t get around to catching up on my blog posts until the auction’s over) because I know I’d… Read more →

Birds of a Feather
Isn’t it beautiful? It just arrived, and even though the crib hasn’t landed in it’s final spot yet so we can’t hang it, I couldn’t be stopped from putting it together to gaze lovingly at it. It’s our Birds of a Feather Mobile from IGE, available at Elsewheres (and other fine stores, blah blah blah.) I’m loving how it looks… Read more →

Floating Along.
I think this is the time when most Mamas-To-Be start counting the days until their little one’s arrival. Naturally, I’m digging my heels in. I want this girl to bake as long as possible. Of course, I’m hormonal and already falling in love with the beast in my belly, so I have moments of the day when I can’t… Read more →
Modern Highchair Bonanza
There are some pretty stunning high chairs out there right now, and as I drool over them, picturing one in my dining room, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. First (the chair that I dream about at night) is the Bloom Fresco Contemporary Chair. Reminiscent of Eero Aarnio’s Ball Chair, this swanky seat for your little one… Read more →
I want it.
Have you seen the commercial for The Beatles: Rock Band? Aside from being a pretty cool commercial, I am so psyched about this game. Scott and I are pretty good at RockBand. Worldclass, in fact. Our super awesome band COQUESAH has a plane and roadies and everything, and I’m not afraid to admit I’m kind of proud of that. … Read more →
Tiny and Gold
I love tiny gold necklaces. Besides my wedding rings (when my fingers aren’t swollen like little polish sausages) it’s pretty much the only jewelry I wear on a regular basis. Today, Gilt has a sale on Lizzy Scheck jewelry, and I swear, I would buy every last piece of it if I could. Here are some of the highlights –… Read more →
Organic Love
The Mini Social is having a sale on Kate Quinn Organics, and I HAD to pick up one of their infant saques for my little girl to come home from the hospital in. “The Coming Home” outfit seems to be quite the rage amongst new Moms these days, but I wasn’t quite getting what the fuss was about until I… Read more →
How do you measure a Douche?
So it turns out my alma mater, New York University, was ranked #11 on GQ’s list of America’s 25 douchiest colleges. Intrigued, I had to check out the other schools that made the list. Because I kind of think we could have done better. Read more →
Why Snail Mail is still better than E-Mail.
I used to live in New York. It seems so long ago now that I can barely remember what it was like to be an actual resident and not a visitor to the city that never sleeps – but the one memory that never fades is the sheer awesomeness of the converted bomb shelter on 13th Street where I lived… Read more →
