When the heat gets particularly extreme, I find myself craving a light and airy look. And I am not just talking in terms of clothing, but in my home as well. So, when I came across this photo of model Serena Marron I couldn’t help but do a double take. Yes. It is insanely simple. … [Read More...]

For those who haven’t heard, I am moving to Chicago! Before you freak out, yes, North On Harper is making the move as well.

As Lukus and I have battled between the whimsical and the chic, we have attempted to negotiate choices that please us both. One of… [Read More...]
Although Lukus and I have been married during the past 2 Christmases, we have never had our own tree. Needless to say, we are excited to set up one this year. Yes, it is fake. But I live in an apartment with beautiful hardwoods and a landlord I want to keep happy, so it will… [Read More...]
Back by popular demand (who doesn’t want to say that?), it is Runway To Room! I know, you are squealing with delight (I haven’t stopped squealing since I began typing this). And who can blame you/me?
