This is one of my favorite websites www.apartmenttherapy.com it has chic apartments from Paris to New York that are challenged by not having enough space and what their owners do with the limited room or just have cool ideas and are showcased on this site.  Amazing ideas for your own home, apartment or dorm. You can take house tours, enter the Small, Cool 2010 contest which has different categories for apartments 400 sq ft and under to apartments with over 1,000 sq ft. Its a website that I find a lot of inspiration in and love to hang out on for hours. Enjoy!  

Super chic apartment in New York City

-I miss the sound of your voice-

-and I miss the rush of your skin-

-and I miss the still of the silence-

-as you breathe out and I breathe in-

I love Matt Nathanson how could you not?

I found this beautiful necklace on http://www.aretedesigns.com it’s amazing how having a necklace all about love, love letters (which is so rare now) and my favorite city Paris can do for your day. When you are having the not so fab day as in traffic, too much work, out of espresso pods you look down and are reminded that love is all around you, you just have to take a moment out of your day and remember that life is full of possibilities.

With Love,

This is my all time favorite Essie nail polish “Not Now” www.essie.com it is a coraly/red color that makes you feel like you are on the island of Capri, sitting on a yacht with a kir royale in hand; dreaming of sexy masculine French men in what ever that is they call swim trunks. When smoking was chic and there were no reprecussions for inhaling poison ohhh the days……..This color is vintage not available through Essie anymore but you can always check discontinued cosmetic sites for this delicious color.

As I sat watching Julie & Julia this past weekend I dreamed of booking my ticket to Paris and just roaming around the most romantic city in the world with fresh flowers and a freshly baked baguette. I saw myself sitting at a cafe where drinking wine at any hour is acceptable and encouraged while composing deep passionate poetry. I could watch Julie & Julia over and over again Meryl Streep did an amazing job playing Julia Child, it was so inspiring to see how Julia was a very driven, dedicated and passionate women. I am off to dream more about Paris………..
