Really proud of Megs, who was just (a few weeks ago) named one of the faces of Bergdorf’s 5F.  I think she looks STUNNING in this photo!!
I’m going to be staying with her this weekend in New York, trying to convince her to move to California with me.  :)

If you’ve seen my home design pinterest board, you know my aesthetic - but I’m still really confused about what one puts on the floor in such a home.  Anyone know where to find amazing, soft, light colored, shabby chic inspired rugs??

Greetings loved ones … let’s take a journey!
So, I’m spending the weekend in New York, then heading to LA and moving into my new place (after 14 months of desultory travel) on Tuesday.  FINALLY!
I’m working on a new project and I’m looking for young men or women in LA who need dating, love or career advice. ;)

This is BEYOND awesome.  Oh, I hope the future of buildings involves urban vertical gardens such as this.
Madrid, Spain.

I’m now the proud owner of my very first KING SIZED BED.
Which means that Pottery Barn queen princess canopy bed? Has to go.
Sniff. 
If anyone in the LA area wants the buy it … let me know!

Tonight I worked on a project that involved going through some really old photo albums from high school and college, and I found this photo of me at nineteen, in the summer of 2000.
Age 19. So … almost 12 years ago … sitting in the unbelievably crappy $800/month apartment on Capitol Hill (well, technically, Eastern Market, so a few blocks away) I shared with my adorable roommate Sarah Milligan, who was also working for a Congressman at the time.  She still works on the Hill!
I look like such a baby there.  I WAS such a baby there.  I remember thinking I knew what I was doing.
I didn’t.  At all.
Sometimes I think I still don’t …

Anyone know?
Because I’m really thinking of going IKEA for sofas … specifically this one and/or two of these.  I love how comfy they look (not sure if they actually ARE comfy in person, however), and I’m a big fan of slipcovers, given their washability and the ease with which you can switch them out.  I’m going to start with white and just use accent pillows (yep, probably pink!) for a pop of color.
I’m debating the whole sofabed versus regular couch thing … in my experience (and I’ve had a lot of it) couches are far more comfortable to sleep on than sofabeds. So should one just skip that and ask one’s guests to sleep on the couch?? That feels less hospitable, although I personally prefer it. (Has anyone slept on this IKEA sofabed? Is it terrible??)
Thoughts?

ahhhhh! My girl Rachel called me last night for some “emergency” tips about how to do a live tv interview, and this morning she NAILED IT!!!!!  So proud of her.

I’m especially happy that she did two of the things I really emphasized: smile (which sounds obvious but many people forget to do this), and get in all of the URLs (because what’s the point of talking about your brand if no one knows where to find it??). NICE WORK, lady!

If any of you are down in New Orleans, check out her food truck, La Cocinita!
