Basics

I'm looking to make smart choices with my wardrobe to last the long haul.  I think this number fits the bill.

There's a lot of furniture on the list to fill up a house.  This one's on the dream list.

Nabbed this pic from a friend's facebook page, so I'm not sure what it is, candy?  soap?  but it's quite appealing... and spooky.  Halloween's pretty much cancelled in NYC due to the hurricane aftermath, but maybe I'll add a scary movie to my Netflix marathon tonight.

Joe Mamma

I happened to be up at Woodbury Commons for work on Friday and got to visit the brand new Jack Spade outlet on its opening day.  I scored this awesome tote that I was devastated I had missed at the regular store.  Another example where good things come to procrastinators.

What a lovely wallpaper print.  Now that I'm on the verge of closing on a house, I'm in full design fantasy mode.

Coming Up Aces

It's been an intense period of travel for me lately.  In the beginning of September I went to Seattle for the first time on a business trip.  I stayed at the Ace hotel, which had some picture perfect views, but lacked a little functionality with no place to spread out toiletries in the bathroom.  The National Geographics from the '70s were a bonus though.
