she’s a cover girl
hi guys, hope you’re having a good week and not stressing out too much this year.yeah, right.
let’s face it, we’re all on overdrive. hopefully you’re taking some time for yourself. since you’re here, i guess that’s what’s up!
i’m getting ready to head north again so have been making hay while the sun shines here in florida.
in the midst of all the craziness i just had to post today since it’s
au current for one day and one day only… women’s wear daily, that is. our helena chair made the cover! i know it’s all about the fashion, but hey, every gal needs a prop! by this time tomorrow we’ll be old news and the link won’t work, but tonight, she’s a star! (and the dress isn’t bad either).
in other news, i had so much fun with the last giveaway, i decided to do the same with this wonderful book that was sent to me for review. it’s absolutely beautiful and filled with tales of a family who realized they have a very distinctive style and a real knack for decorating and renovation.
they take us on several locations and track their progress with gorgeous photos and tales of their ups and downs.
it’s written by robert and courtney novogratz and published by rizzoli. don’t get mad about the pics, pubs!
here’s the link on amazon, downtown chic, from wreck to ravishing.
my favorite kind of parking lot!
anyway it’s jammed with great stuff so if you’re interested, leave a comment and i’ll send it out to a winner tomorrow!
have a wonderful and cozy night!

Gorgeous! Love the bikes line up in the parking lot. Especially since I spend lots of time at school with 5 year olds and my little one. Gotta love it. Enter me, please.
