I was really sick over the weekend. Not to mention being very sick of all the rain we had. But today, not only did my fever break, but the weather decided to cheer up a bit and now it’s a sunny and beautiful day here in NYC. As it seems, spring is quickly approaching and I am starting to make bets on what will be my standby favorite shoes. The oxfords are not only trendy but they are comfortable and still a bit more dressy than your average ballet flat. As for my resolution to wear heels these Sweet Life by Dolce Vita booties will definitely fit the bill. They look adorable with bare feet but also look great with a pair of light tights for those chilly spring nights.
I was introduced to Beach Studios by one of my favorite style blogs, Elements of Style. The locations are beautiful, but I think I am swooning the most over the Yurts. The rich blue, the inviting skylight, the wood burning oven all make me wish I could teleport (or Apparate for your Harry Potter fans) straight to into my very own Yurt heaven.
Here’s what the site says about the Yurts:
Two authentic Mongolian yurts set in the grounds of a beautiful country property near the south coast. Each yurt is furnished differently, one as a bedroom, one as a sitting room with a charming log cabin alongside housing the kitchen and shower room.
If you’re in need of a good online tool for decompressing after a stressful day, need an escape during work or if you’re looking for an excuse to filter through an entire blog archive, Unhappy Hipsters is the answers to all your prayers. It is the perfect combination of contemporary design and snarky (read: downright hilarious) quotes about the plight of the modern day hipster. Enjoy!
The flowers began to wither under the rigorous interrogation.
Marion Cotillard has to be one of the most beautiful women in the whole world. I am absolutely obsessed with her and even more obsessed with the shoot she did for AnOther magazine. She is a chameleon who can transform herself completely and shes a great actress, with an amazing accent, to boot!
Check out more pictures from her AnOther and Jalouse shoots after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
I used to call Sesame Street YaYaz, I’m still not sure why but I think it had to do with how young I was when I started watching it. (I probably couldn’t pronounce Sesame as an 18 month old!) It was my favorite show as a kid a it still holds a significant place in my heart and in the heart of my entire family. My recent online obsession is the Sesame Street gangs’ tweets — they are absolutely hilarious and I really feel like they highlight what is so special about Sesame Street and all of Jim Henson’s creations. The humor used is smart and clever so that adults can truly appreciate it and at the same time the characters are so cute and adorable that kids just fall in love!
Big Bird: It’s hard for me to type these tweets. Keyboards aren’t made for those of us with wings.
Grover: Today I thought of something very clever to tweet about. This is it.

Elmo: Someone just told Elmo yesterday was Talk in the Third Person Day. Elmo doesn’t know what that is but it sounds fun. Can Elmo play?
Cookie Monster: Me had philosophical moment: what if there no such thing as cookies? What would dat make me? Dis stuff keep me up at night.
Big Bird: Maria made me a new cross-stitch pillow for my home. It says “Nest Sweet Nest” on it.
Grover: Today I am feeling a bit fuzzy. And a little blue. But then, I am always Fuzzy and Blue!
Cookie Monster: Sometimes Moon look like giant cookie. Must look into joining space program.
Grover: Did you hear? There is a monster at the end of this Tweet! I am so afraid! But we are almost done and the only monster here is…me!
I’ve been seeing images of this amazing stop motion video by ithyle everywhere (I finally took the link from Oh Joy!) and I absolutely adore it! Look for the tree and the white roses, it’s my favorite part! You can view the video here.
Yesterday we all got a first glimpse that spring is just around the corner. Today, however, we are back to the slushy, rainy, yucky stuff and I am feel very annoyed with Mother Nature. In an effort to brighten up this gray day I am channeling all the beauty of spring and researching the rain dance equivalent of calling spring to come sooner rather than later!
