today was fiona's second ever haircut. as you can see it was incredibly long. the idea was mid chest length and heavy bangs....
pretty doggone cute. 
i'm not done yet
showing you more plaid handsomeness. it can create a masucline/feminine balance, it can soften a modern space and warm up a cold one..
kinda says, "fall is here so let's get cozy, light some candles, eat some popcorn and watch movies", doesn't it?
it looks good on too:
a bracelet:
a ring:
not all plaids are created equally, these blankets are from the scottish weaver:
ws home's cashmere 50billiondollar version: (thanks lilah from urbansardines!)
welsh plaid (personal fave):
lightweight wool specials:
canadian tartan:
irish plaids: (these are lovely, soft and heathered)
modern tartan: (these are a bit too collegiate for me)
so many choices, so many colors!! i think one blanket on a sofa, chair or the end of a bed is the way to go here. simple, comfy and soft..welcoming after a long, cold day.

oscar de la renta
is designing google home pages. this is what it looks like. if you want to be just like me (which i am pretty sure most of you do) just click on change theme and then click on artists and scroll til you find mr. de la renta's design. there are 4, so every time you open up your computer a new one is there. and they are all gorgeous. highly likely the only de la renta i will ever wear.
(and yes, i DO have the silly cat picture thingy on my home page)
halloween candy
i am missing the premiere issue, november '05, march '07, and september '08.
anyone want to do a domino library exchange? i have never seen those issues, i think september '08 got peed on so i had to throw it away...so i looked at it but only once..which is never enough. this would be a loan type of thing...i loan you one you loan me one...any takers?

i suspect scads of interior gorgeousness.
monday color combo...sort of..
recently i read something that really hit home with me and that was, "your love of design doesn't always have to reflect your own home." i don't recall who said it and i guess that statement could mean different things to different people. but for me it was really kind of freeing. don't roll your eyes!!! it really was! i get kind of bugged out at times when i find i love EVERYTHING!! i mean how can you love everything??! and how can you incorporate EVERYTHING in your own home?? it would look ridiculous and all over the place and random and not focused and silly and contrived and like you were trying too hard..etc.. so instead i THINK ( i could change my mind tomorrow- or even later today) i will just love everything and leave it at that. and just let my own home serve as a sort of museum of stuff, trials and errors, works in progress...like and artist's studio. so what does this have to do with a monday color combo?...not a whole lot really. other than 2 days ago i was really into the work of abigail ahern and wanted my whole house painted dark gray and midnight blue with capricious looking lamps and furry ottomans. and today i am really into the whole english manor look. so this combo is not a combo so to speak but a look at mixing saturated color in general with big florals, stripes, small patterns and antiques and everything in between. i am not sure a person like me without any funds could actually do this look in my own home, this is a look for the rich or at the very least a look that is acquired over time. maybe less carlton varney or nancy lancaster and more rita konig. i think this time of year i am drawn to things that are comforting and cozy and seem to envelope you like a hug from your granny. whether it's balls out grand manor home or a more modern approach it's all beautiful to look at. so here you have it...squeeeeeze!
