Making Waves
Face it, shopping for the right bathing suit can be torture. You travel from high end boutique to that giant “swim” table at J.Crew, frantically looking for that rare XL/ S or M/ XXS combination, when all that seems to be left in the cute styles are XXS’s and XXL’s– a combo that clearly isn’t...
You better work….
Let’s face it. The work-place supply room is rarely a fashionable place. Bic pens, black staplers, and yellow highlighters… ugh! Even I, who in a dorky way love office supplies, get bored with the bland selection found in most supply stores. Apparently, I’m not alone- which was one of the motivating factors behind See Jane...
Pandora’s (music) Box
If you haven’t already discovered the world of Pandora, I thought I’d give you the heads up on this fantastic music resource this weekend. Pandora is based on the The Music Genome Project. Each song in the Music Genome Project is analyzed using up to 400 distinct musical characteristics by a trained music analyst. These...

Do you ever feel unappreciated? Like you work yourself crazy all day only to turn something in to your boss that she either (a) doesn’t need anymore or (b) doesn’t even remember asking you to do? And then of course there’s the old story of doing something nice for someone, only to have them take...
Sea Side Scuttlebutt
If you’re like me during the summer, you’re always on the lookout for that perfect beach day. Unfortunately, if you’re really like me, the beach day usually falls on a Tuesday (following a rainy weekend) and the best you can hope for is an early morning or late evening jog for a glimpse of sun...
Malicious Intent (bar review in lace)
Ah the first day of summer. Time to break out the air conditioner and fight people over the fans on sale at CVS (sadly, I witnessed this just the other day). Honestly, you could save a lot of time and energy (if you’re not already motivated to do so, check out An Inconvenient Truth) if...
LeRoy = Le Roi (french for “the king” in case you didn’t know) of urban style
Ah yes… another day in the Hamptons, blotting away remnants of your Mojito (oh wait, wasn’t that last summers drink?) with your perfectly delicate pale yellow bandana, courtesy of LeRoy Jenkins. LeRoy who? This enigmatic Dolce and Gabbana of Urban culture is doing big things and just may be driving force behind the next Urban...
Freaky Friday
What is that? Honestly, I have no idea. Kind of like my study of property law. Property and I just don’t get along. Its not that the concepts are out-of-this world, I just don’t have the time to sit and understand all the nuances. My new approach is just take a deep breath and absorb...
Spraygraphics/ The T-Shirt Fantastic
In times of frustration, its always good to surround yourself with people who inspire you and keep you smiling. The other day when the enormity of the amount of material I’m supposed to learn in 6 weeks became reality, I was lucky enough to get a 45 minute dose of inspiration. Enough to get me...
Cuffed for Your Crimes
I’m always losing things. Example 1: Expensive daily planner which contains every address I’ve ever collected plus every appointment I’ve ever made… Lost: Post Office Square while absorbed in a sketch I was making of a scene by a fountain. (In case you’re wondering it totally wasn’t worth it- the sketch sucked, anyway. . .)...
Organize + Wear + Write
Sometimes its those little extras that get us through the week. I’ve collected some little gems for you today from places near and far on the web. The first, above is one of the coolest organizers I’ve seen, designed by Reinhard Schmoelzer. The concept, touts Plasticashop, is simple in that you make your own design...
If you can’t beat ‘em DISTRO.Y ‘em
I know, I know, it doesn’t pay to be destructive. . . I should embrace the stack of books I have sitting on the floor next to my desk as “giant stacks of useful knowledge.” I should applaud the newly acquired fact-feed that flows through my mind and its accompanying redbull/ starbucks induced buzz. I...
