My Blackberry. In Orange

The best notebooks.
Online or at Black Ink in Beacon Hill/Harvard Square.  A nerd's dream.

Empty Frames


Love the wall color and the empty, jumbled photo frames.
Anthro, obv!

Tea Time...


Furn Living organic tea towels.  Tea towels are for lining picnic baskets and to dry your hands.  Not to mop up spills or messes.  
Lekker home furnishings in the South End

My heart belongs to New Haven

New Haven really IS better than your town

Michael Musto agrees: villagevoice

Vintage Halston Patterns

A bunch of Halston patterns, along with other vintage designers.
Saw this framed in a shopwindow in Beacon Hill.
Found the print on DazeyChic's esty shop.  I may just frame it myself in honor of my new apartment!

Duck Fat


speaking of great Portland restaurants, I'll be dangerously close to Duck Fat... the amazing french fries ("Belgian Fries") are... wait for it... fried in duck fat.  They have a simple menu and a small seating area, but the wait is worth it.

Oh, and the beignets.  Fancy donuts.  Another amazing fried indulgence.

Five Fifty-five




I'll be living above 555, an adorable restaurant in downtown Portland.  Maybe I can make friends with the bartender!

And a City's top 101 restaurant
The chef (my land lord) was named one of Food and Wine magazine's Hot Chef's of 2007!
Sounds delicious

My new apartment



Congress St. in Portland

If I wasn't an anglophile before...




The White Company, London.
My wallet is thankful its not stateside.  I would have the most comfortable bed ever.
Super simple, refined linens.  Not cheap but unlike anything I've seen around here.  Really understated yet luxurious.


new apartment projects

Can't wait to tackle this project next time I'm in CT!
