I love how a quick trip can have the most profound effect on your daily life.  When I arrived back in L.A., I promptly rolled down the car windows and breathed in the balmy air before heading out for some greasy Mexican food.  Besides the weather and culinary advantages of living in California, it’s just nice to be reminded of what you miss most about being away from home.

Also, a huge thank you to beso.com for sending me out to New York for Fashion Week and for taking such great care of me.

  3. great! you have a very nice home, really! and a beautiful cat too!!!

  4. While watching the women’s downhill skiing (not sure the event — the one with the crazy 1.8 mile track) there were quite a few times where I almost burst into tears. Not only was the track steep, long, and icy, but the women had to FLY down the course. And of course, a few wiped out big time. It hurt to watch!

  5. you have a beautifully furnished home !

    i loved ur art deco-ish lamp and pillows . red white and black never fails to impress me !

  6. Love your blog!! I bet working while it snows is good when its only for a few days, but I must say I’m a bit tired of it myself.. Maybe because we have it for like 6 mnths here in Norway:/

  7. Have you seen that one Procter and Gamble commercial they run during the Olympics with all the kids, and at the end it says something along the lines of, “To their Moms, they will always be kids”?
    Gah, brings the waterworks everytime.
    Kitty snuggles are the best snuggles :)

  8. V. cool chairs – where are they from?

  9. I absolutely adore your apartment. We really love how you’ve incorporated sweet treats and fashion together.
