New Year, New News.

Tomorrow morning I'll be up with the sun to head to head to my new home in.....(drumroll please).......Portland! If you have yet to visit this lovely city in Maine - you are missing out. I'll be there for New Year's and then it's back to NYC for awhile. Isn't it super cute?





Check out awesome photos of Maine here - so glad I found this blog!

And if you haven't already seen the Time's Documenting the Decade - you must look. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I think 2010 might be my best year yet.

I'm feeling stripes lately, especially with a nauti edge. Lobsterman and I are moving this month (more on that later) and I really want a brown and white striped bathroom.

subtle, but would go nicely with my striped skirt above. especially if getting groceries on the UES.


All hands on deck. Especially heart the mug.

And It's Over.

Now that I'm coming down from a holiday comatose, I find that all I want to do is shop. I didn't ask for clothes or shoes so now that my gifts are all unwrapped, it's bit me in the ass. Now I want to buy myself some presents. Like any of these.





All from here. And all under $50.

I did almost buy this for New Years but I stopped myself. Now I'm full of remorse.
