Cramming as many trends as possible into one look: dotted tights, studded clogs, leather skirt, military jacket.  I was reaching in my pocket for my chapstick, hence the awkward pose.  And I have come to realize that trekking shoes these are not contrary to my previous opinion.

I'm still fuming over my hair.  I want to go shave the hairdresser's head so she feel can my fury, is that evil?   I need to let it go because there is nothing I can do about but I tried in pilates/yoga class, you know during that meditative forgiveness part, but it didn't work.  Will do my best not to speak of it again.  Trip to the Italian Market in Philly(for those of you unfamiliar, a famous street of culinary delights, featured in Rocky as he is running through his neighborhood)  Saturday for the ingredients to whip up a family feast.  A bounty of fresh tuscan sausage, homemade eggplant and gorgonzola raviolis, truffle burrata, and marscapone canolis and lemon ricotta pie.  Coffee count for detox today?
The settings on the camera were off.  This sweater is called the Cosby Cardigan.

I can't remember where I found her but I love her sunglasses.

1. My future coffee table

2.  A closet I will one day have

3. Exquisite end tables

4. Doggie bunk beds

5. Egg themed dining room

More fancies from the Architectural Digest Home Show, each and every one of which I could easily envision integrating into my repertoire of rooms.  Yes, the giraffe print doggie bunk bed is a tad tacky and  no I don't have two dogs, regrettably Lulu is an only dog child,  but I am obsessed with it's novel concept anyway. What if she wanted to have a sleepover?  And would you not die to have a closet large enough to pimp it out with that luxe automation system? (Hmmm, maybe a concept I need to pitch to  Bravo, Pimp My Closet)  THE DIFFA, DESIGN INDUSTRIES FOUNDATION FIGHTING AIDS, had a Dining by Design Event which featured high profile designers creating amazing dining room vignettes with sponsors by major companies usually requiring some type of product integration.  These dining rooms were spectacular and I will continue to showcase these in a few more posts.  And because life is full of good little surprises, the skirt below that I saw and needed to buy in Urban Outfitters but of which they were out of my size, I had to order only to find out when I received it that it was half price.  Life is gnarly.

Saw some amazing pieces, talented artisans, and inspiration galore. Will post more pics as soon as I have time.  For now, here's one to wet the whistle.

I am swearing off hair stylists and never getting my hair cut again.  What is it with overzealous haircutters, why do they feel the need to cut off long hair when they see it?  I went in for a one inch trim today with a long bang and walked out 45 minutes later with my hair five inches shorter, and a head full of steam. I can't even say that I know how it happened since I was watching and she did not appear to be cutting that much off.  Contemplating later, it must have been the layers she sneaked in, they make the hair shorter without seeming to take much hair off. I was having a great day until then, looking forward to my Architectural Digest design show tomorrow in New York and now I can't even function. I think I need to swill NOW and break out the extensions.

What I wore for a day of ricotta, candied walnut, rasberry, honeyed french toast at the best little breakfast place around. (I usually eschew naughty carbs but when I saw on their facebook page that this was going to be one of their specials for the weekend I just had to make an exception. ) And as I said previously a day of hibernation.

This is where I want to be today hiding from the rain.
