Apartment Therapy

As you know I live in a VERY small space in the city. So the things I surround myself with have to be dual purpose and very functional. While my parents were here in September working on the bed, they came up with an idea for a table. We brainstormed and I shared that I had seen a piece of art in Macy's that I was quite fond of and we could incorporate it into the table. My rents went home and my stepdad "hummed" out his idea and built a table that is both functional and fabulous. By day it hangs on the wall as an art piece. By night, or whenever I need a place to eat, work or hopefully soon entertain guests (albeit a very small number of guests) it is a fully functional table. For big city, small apartment dwellers like myself this is a dream come true. Thanks Rents

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT!  Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
