Sweater Obsessions

January 5th, 2012

I’m headed to New York in two weeks and am starting to think about proper winter clothes (it’s been in the seventies here recently, good ol’ California…). I’m loving these striped sweaters and chic cardigans. The Tory one at top right is called the “Katie” — must be fate ;)

Clockwise from top left: 1/ Crumpet Cashmere Stripe Cashmere Sweater 2/ Tory Burch Katie Embellished Ribbed Cardigan 3/ Milly Silk Satin-Trimmed Cardigan 4/ Top Shop Knitted Mix Stripe Jumper

My 2012 Resolutions

January 2nd, 2012

1. Put my “face on” every morning even if I work from home and my only co-workers are pugs (grandmother says its important for one’s morale, she’s right…)

2. Decorate and publish our apartment. It’s teeny tiny, but I love a good challenge.

3. Run my first 1/2 marathon in April (pray for me.)

4. Tumble, pin, and tweet every day. I started a personal tumblr and I have 3 followers (kinda a big deal)!

5. Give the Neo-Trad a face lift. Safe to say I’ve outgrown the chevron. Makeover already in the works, terribly excited :)

6. Take more pictures. I am obsessed with instagram.

7. Go to at least one museum each month. I work a lot. In 2012 I vow to step away from my desk more often and seek out new inspiration.

8. Grow MatchbookMag.com into THE online destination for our fellow ballet flat/Jane Austen/polka dot/champagne cocktail-loving friends. We have lofty dreams on this front, just you wait!!!

9. Save up all our pennies and go to Paris with John for our 2nd anniversary. It’s my happy place and I could use a week of lounging at sidewalk cafes, lingering over beautiful paintings, and strolling along the Seine. It’s a long shot with him in law school and my having a start-up, but I thought I’d put it out there… #dreambig

 What are your resolutions my dear readers???

Toast of the Town

December 31st, 2011

Until this morning I never knew one could fall in love with a kitchen appliance! These neon toasters are a must for spring, don’t you think? With such fun colors, how’s a girl to choose?
