a day in the life

summer, summer time

If I had my druthers, this is what I'd be wearing today. Instead, it's black yoga pants and a Grateful Dead tee. So, come to think of it, I'm okay with this too.

color clash

Unless I've gotten a wild hare for something else, my nails are usually colorblocked like this. I've done it since I was 17, but back then the last two nails on each hand were either black or true red and the rest unpolished. These days, I like a broader selection. This week it's Essie's Geranium and OPI's Lucky, Lucky Lavender. A few weeks back it was Essie's Geranium with Sally Hansen's Complete Manicure in Commander in Chic, and it was a really fresh look. What do you like on your nails?

a bit of interiors...

We're about to move into a new apartment. While moving is not my favorite thing, I really love settling into a new place and finding new pieces, letting go of old ones. I've always been drawn to the top example's vibes of richness and comfort. I absolutely love it's bright, glossy walls. The simplicity sets off the second example, but I love it for the handrail and sconce. I love everything about the third and fourth example, except maybe those long tapers. I might DIY the tall wooden headboard with some upohlstered panels in the new apartment; I'll keep you posted. Speaking of DIY, I can't wait to get some plants growing in the new place! You could put a trellise like this in a window and A. you wouldn't need blinds and B. you'd have several plants in an apartment without it being total chaos, which is sometimes a difficult feat. Which reminds me: do you have any brilliant kitchen storage solutions? I'm not exaggerating when I say we have about 1.5' of counter space, and it's broken up. Help me out?



from day to day..
