STUNNING Antique Spanish doors
Segovia and the older cities of Spain are full of gorgeous, ornate wooden doors which I would love to be able to pack up and bring back home with me, but with the price of checking bags these days it's just not an option.

I’m off to blog from Spain for a month – so I’m kicking it off with some Spanish houses!
I'm literally about to walk out the door to the airport to fly out of Newark tonight and land in Madrid in the morning. I'll be in Spain with my wonderful boyfriend, who's teaching English there this year - Segovia to be exact - for about a month. However, the first week in January we will be in...

A tour of my Brownstone studio apartment
I was really flattered when Marcela of Deco and Design asked me for a little house tour. Unfortunately since I am currently "without house," I had to send her photos from a very cute studio apartment I lived in a couple of years ago.

Gorgeous, Glamorous, and Casual!
A casual base with touches of glamor is how I prefer to dress - on the rare occurrence that I leave my house and need to look presentable.
