I came across these beautiful Puschkinia (Striped Squill) this week. Scilla should be popping up any day now. Hooray! Spring is here!
Friday night.
Space242 in the South End.
Tricycle opening reception.
Derek has about 20 pieces in the show. They are all excellent. A few sold that night.
I stupidly forgot my camera. (Edit: But Mandy brought hers! Check it.)
Go visit the exhibit before it closes April 18th!
This weekend I met one of the lovely ladies behind Pretty Bourgeois. The blog is a wonderful mixture of interior design, fashion, food and more. These just happen to be some of my favorite things! The subhead pretty much covers the blog's aim: "A working girl's guide to living stylishly on a budget." Now that's a guide I could certainly use. What that description lacks, however, is a mention of the Crazy Peeps Easter Cake in this post! I must try this.
Can you guess what this is? Answers to come.
Apparently Pod in Brookline Village has replenished their stock of vintage Swiss botanical postcards.
I plan on stopping by to check them out this week. I have a few plant-lovers in mind who might appreciate these beauties. They're mighty colorful!
I've added a subscription to lines & shapes to my very long wish-list.
Dear Randy Jackson,Thank you for presenting America's Best Dance Crew. I'm a fan. My sister, who is a dancer and not a dance-floor-spaz like me, is also a fan. She knows her stuff.And we both like JabbaWockeeZ. I know I should favor the Boston crew, Status Quo, but JabbaWockeeZ have left me smitten.Now Mr. Jackson, a few questions.Where do these crew names come from? I want to know. Did I miss this in an earlier episode?And will you please ask your judges and host to stop being so condescending to the female dancers? They are not "girls," they're women. And while you're at it, put the kibosh on this kind of shit: "you girls danced like men, and I respect that." What?? It looked to me like they danced like...dancers. Many thanks,D
Thank you fashionverbatim for introducing me to Daul Kim's blog!
http://www.iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com/ I like to fork myself! This girl is f*ing awesome. I truly enjoy seeing her in shows (via style.com, of course) but I had no idea she was so damn fun and funny. Argh! Watch out for Daul!
And I love her posts. Check out "say hi to...rick owens".
Oh Daul. If I were a fashion designer, I'd totally let you open my show!

Oh my goodness. Please check out the house tour of Jill Pilotte's beautiful house on Apartment Therapy. This is how I want to live.
The most recent issue of The New York Times Style Magazine is brimming with good stuff! I was most inspired by the article on Fritz Haeg, an architect who founded Edible Estates, which "proposes that homeowners banish grassy vanity lawns and replace them with harvestable gardens." Right on!
As I read about Haeg's projects I could picture a house that I lived in as a pre-teen in Southern California. This house had a massive backyard and frontyard, both of which were covered in neon green grass, definitely not native to the chaparral of Riverside County. If only my parents had done what Haeg does, that is, take a rototiller to those unnatural lawns and plant crops in their place.
I realize as I type this that I may feel so passionate about Haeg's work because I mowed both of those massive lawns at least once a month for 5 years. In any case, Edible Estates seems a brilliant idea!
I've recently come across the blog of Nisa Risa Parisacooper. I like her blog and I love her style.
Very cool, sometimes androgynous, a little sexy, and a lot laid back. I envy her pixie cut. And we share an adoration of Emmanuelle Alt.
I've been neglectful to this lil' ole blog of mine. I'm ashamed, not so much of my blatant neglect, but of the fact that I've found so much inspiration in blogs, websites, articles, and so much more lately, and I am not spreading any of that inspiration.
I've been lazy. So. Consider this the beginning of multiple "inspiration" posts. This is fair warning.
