Fall

A touch of fall for the loft.

it's beginning to look alot like fall...

so I crafted a few decorative accessories to slip us into the mood...

the Car

Ken and I had been comtemplating a car after we decided to make the move to Chicago. We have a parking space included in the rent so why not take advantage of it? I started looking at used cars right after we arrived and was really disgusted with what I was finding. Pretty much all the used cars in my price range are consumed with the midwest car cancer : RUST. Ugh.. I refuse to pay $5000 for a car that I can put my foot through the floorboards. So while in California I started looking at used cars and was amazed and what I was finding. While I initially wanted an SUV to accomodate the Chicago winters, I decided to go economical and chose a Saturn. I found a 2002 Saturn SL1 in near new condition, bought it and drove it home (39 highway MPG) . 3 of the longest days of my life driving through the most boring, bible thumping territiry in the US. But here she is.. I think I'll call her Levi as she is pretty much the same color as my favorite pair of Levi's.

sorry I've been away so long...

Lots has happened since I last logged on.. Mom had some surgery on her back in mid September so I flew to Northern California to stay with her after she left the hospital. It's nice to say that I really was not needed as she was pretty much up and around the next day. It was very nice spending 7 days with her though. Thats the most time I've spent with her in my adult life. Update as of 10/5/2009: Mom is doing great!

Fashion Week

Well Fashion week is wrapping up in NYC and it's strange to not be there. I loved seeing the models running free on the steets.. some in herds others straggling alone. Here a couple of my favorite looks for Spring 2010. I'll always love Ralph Lauren but I'm afraid that I am completely in awe with Michael Bastian this season. http://men.style.com/fashion/collections/S2010MEN/complete/thumb/MBMEN

Mid September

It's been a quiet few weeks..The apartment is done. I have done a few craft projects for Halloween but I'll post those later. Heading to Ca. later this week so maybe I'll have some updates from there.

The whole pie...

I've been posting for weeks now the loft in various stages of dress. So here's the loft completely dressed and ready for a day on the town.
