Today is Saturday, November 28, 2009
Sundays are made for friends hanging out! Whether you're watching the game or just out and about there are ways to have food arranged so that it's fun and accessible. I'm a huge fan of sushi and love the trays that are available. Sometimes as opposed to having the "typical" game food, we love picking up a lot of sushi so that we can nibble throughout the day. We're never short on cheese and these agate plates are not only right up my alley being a stone, but it's a great way to present your favorite varieties! Even if you have your classic mini burgers, chips, etc get a great platter. I love shopping around and finding the perfect ones that can be used for the everyday. Finally, having the right glass for whatever you're going to sip is essential and to make it homey, get them monogrammed or have your favorite saying placed on it! Whether it's you and your sig other, family or roommates it's a special way to spend the day when you're glued to the TV!
Last night Paul and I hung out in Williamsburg and saw the cutest shops. One of the restaurants that we had dinner in was in a large beautiful brick building (it is our dream one day to have a building like this). With Sundays post on my mind, I knew that I had to find a perfect piece. As I woke up this morning hearing the crazy rain that came out of nowhere, I realized that I would spend the morning lounging and visiting Pottery Barn.com. I think that tables are so important in the home! It's perfect for storage, filling the space in the home and so much more. Just like we have styles in our dress, there are various tables that also show a little bit about who we are and this site and store is always the best place to go! Have some fun looking at these tables and to also think about anything new you want to add whether you're moving, prepping for the holidays and more.
Designs by Lolita accessorizes the most significant part of your home - the kitchen and related areas! We all have various glasses that are our favorite whether it comes from Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, etc. Although I love these places and many times my table has been set with these items, it's nice to have something that catches ones eye due to it being something not found in these stores. Designs by Lolita is the answer! I love that from pilsners, martini , margarita glasses and so much more, so much care is taken in the designs of the themed glass, For example, the Pink Ribbon glasses where a portion of proceeds go to supporting the reseach of breast cancer glasses that are available January 2009 are done by hand as are every other item! You know my love for supporting indies and those items which are handcrafted. I also love the Halloween Martini glass as I am a huge fan of candy corn and think this would be perfect when you are having your fall festivities whether it is prior to or after Halloween! These pieces are perfect for your home and for those that are in Clearwater Florida from Oct 5 - 7th, Lolita will be at a signing for Macy's!
Yes today is Mon and I am all about Mingling but I wanted to share with you something that will be changing in terms of "Sippin' Saturdays", which has been all about drinks, Snazzy Sundays which tends to focus on home decor and Mingling Mondays. Although from time to time this summer, these days will cover the topics mentioned previously, I will also take these topics to another level by taking in the best of what we can do on our long weekends! In these posts, you'll find great ideas and fun places to go to that are in the area or in our own backyard. I am so exited to share with you and if you have a restaurant, city, boutique, etc - share with me and I will come out to check it out! Consider this segment to be something like the travel channel of sorts and I will be your guide on fun items. In addition, due to the continued condo hunt that my boyfriend and I are on, I will also bring you yummie places to eat in the Hoboken, Jersey City and Williamsburg area as well.
Back to Mingling Mondays, I had the luxury of enjoying my first half day Friday of the season by heading to Bryant Park and watching other people enjoy the day as well. I am really getting into using my Flip and can't wait to start using it for my ultimate projects which will be revealed within the next few days and of course available on my You Tube channel! Until then, enjoy watching footage of people hanging out in the park and can I say that I loved being able to chat with everyone on Twitter as well. If you have an account check me out there and of course you can always catch me on Facebook as well!
I was looking at Pottery Barn this morning and began thinking of my favorite thing when it comes to the concept of LAGOON - beach houses, summer shares or wherever you go when you get away from the city for a little R&R. This super cute daybed sits on top of this platform which can either be purchased with drawers or these baskets. You may sleep in something like this when you go to your weekend shares OR if you have a studio and want to maximize space, you may have this set up to give a little Bungalow Chic to your place! Either way, this set up is so refreshing and chic and is perfect for sleeping in or lounging no matter when you use it. Take some time to check out more items on Pottery Barn and find out what other infusions of Spring and Summer are available to you!
Ever since I can remember, I have been a fan of Pier 1. I love how they have so many items that make your space (regardless of size) look fabulous. I have always loved wicker, throw pillows, papisan chairs and fortunately - all of this and more can be found here. One of the things I love to have around - candles. I think that they are a great way to set a mood whether you use the large ones or the smaller ones. So today I definitely wanted to show another great way to infuse a little citrus element within your home. You can find these candles and much more at Pier 1!
I love these Short Teardrop Jars by More Fire Glass Studio, available at one of my favorite sites - Vivre.com, that are perfect for popping summer elements into your home. It's almost like having a little bit of MoMA in your home. Whether you live in a studio or a large home, this definitely steps it up. Of course this fits perfectly into our THINK CITRUS campaign which will continue to bring all things citrus like to each and every post within the month of March!
I love that these jars are handcrafted and I love that they have little stoppers as well. This is perfect if you just want them empty or if you want to have them filled with your favorite beverage. You can't lose when it comes to which one you wish to bring home - is it going to be the lovely lime or the amazing amber?
Whether you work from home or outside the house, it's nice to know that you can help the environment and bring a sense of home wherever you go. I love the idea of these containers and mugs which have a sense of personality - you'll definitely stand out as you sip by the newsstand or in the elevator when you're nearing your office. Pottery Barn definitely wants us to not only leave the paper cups along but they understand that it doesn't have to be expensive in order for us to help the planet (love the $10 price point). Take some time to visit this super cute store with all of its elements for the home and the commute.
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
Please send all food related questions to Paul, spa and wellness items to Keren and all other queries to Kimmie.
