SPLIT. PERSONALITY.

Our current place echoes the materials and color palette of this space from Elle France...

...dramatic no? We just might (cross your fingers!) have found our little piece of NYC, and I'm already daydreaming of the design switch-up I'm going to pull big city style. My only problem is that I seriously love all things beautiful. The decisions are painstaking. Would you go with designed to the nines like this "white + color" space?

Or would you keep it down to earth and familiar?

Cocktail O'Clock & New Blog Obsession

Today is a special cocktail o'clock because like many of you, I was introduced via Rue to a fabulous new foodie blog. If not for the insane, original photography and fantastic food styling...

...Spoon Fork Bacon, will win you over with a slew of mouth-watering recipes. I'm not only already obsessed, but I was immediately drawn to this Kiwi Capiroska...

...that I thought perfect for sharing on a Cocktail O'Clock Monday.

Head on over! I guarantee your tummy will grumble with enthusiastic approval. Cheers to a new week, loves!

My Little Piece of NYC

The search continues for our little piece of NYC. Over the weekend we stumbled upon an apartment that is definitely worth seeing twice. It's quintessential New York- exposed brick possibly pre-war which would be my dream. It has gorgeous worn hardwoods (forget the parquet!), marvelous molding, and even a fireplace. Decorating dreams are already dancing through my head! I must know, as a renter, would you paint darlings?

Today's Mantra

So I successfully uprooted a good ol' southern boy. (He grew up basically in the middle of a cow pasture. Literally.) Plopped him smack dab in the middle of the best city in the world. And I couldn't be more excited about our adventures to come! Cheers to an adventurous, surprise filled week!

Weekend Picture Book

We Met @Twitter

Tonight I have a date. @societysocial meets @MrGWHunting. I have to admit, I'm slightly nervous. Meeting new people never makes me nervous, but I've never had a social media to real world rendezvous. (Just kidding. It was NYC awesome :) He's insanely talented and works the kind of magic that makes me dizzy in the head.

Holy. Awesome. Seeing stars yet?

Well Nate Berkus surely saw them.

Any guy who is bold enough to take iconic Schumacher Chiang Mai and dream up a way to WEAR it is my kind of guy.

I'm going to risk putting my foot in my mouth and say that our friendship is meant to be. Tips on what to wear when meeting such an illustrious tastemaker? Yikes!

DROP DEAD GINGHAM

Anyone wanna guess what my latest addition is to the Society Social fabric line? It starts with a G.
