These are not how they look now but they represent how I want them to look except with a green or yellowish pattern instead of the red. Do you like them? 8:16 PM - 1/14/2008 - comments {2} - post commentMuseo de desireJess gave Anna and I a tour of the new San Diego Children's Museum building when we were there over the break. Impressive! All of it! I could go on and on but the space doesn't open for non VIPs like Anna and I until May so I won't go into detail.In the administrative offices, I loved the collaborative spaces and the furniture - recycled street signs turned into work stations. Was the artist Boris Bally? I want Boris. . . I found these chairs that I would love to use in my kitchen if they weren't so fancy (ie $1100 each.) Functional contemporary folk art - I think they would go with my embroidered Otomi embroidered animal wall hanging we picked out together in Mexico.  10:24 AM - 1/11/2008 - comments {0} - post commentA beautiful new world to exploreMaybe you are much cooler than me and you have seen these things online. Not me and today I just can't stop browsing gorgeous blogs on the internet (most of which I found through decor8 - love it!)When/If you have time. . . 1. Jen and Angela - check this amazing kids new kids magazine called Anorak which I found on this blog 2. Angelo and Steffan - Jonathon Adler is on sale. I love the giant horse bowl and this  3. Jess - this belt would work so well with your little waist and refined style  4. Chrissy - this embroidered Opera pillow reminds me of your lady panels  5. everyone - how cute are these plates? (found here and teacups on sale here for the ridiculously low price of $27 for a set of 4)  6. and then there's the satisfaction of finding someone who is probably doing the same exact thing I'm doing right now only doing it much better than me and for far longer. Leah Hennan lives in Oakland, CA, my fair city, and her blog is called More Ways to Waste Time. Sound familiar? She's a Sagitarius and she links to things I've already found and loved (remember those felt rock pillows we saw on College Ave?) and places I now have on my must see list. We're destined to be friends. Should I email her and get this party started? All of this browsing at other blogs is making me feel small, insignificant, naive and "cute." Those gorgeous layouts, spot on finds and seemingly endless time to flip through catalogues and search online - I'll never catch up. Thats one of thinking of it. Here's another take - it is satisfying to know that there are so many resources and e-mentors out there. Maybe we should be more hopeful and embrace higher expectations. Wit and beauty can rule our world; perhaps we should not settle on simply getting the job done in the most efficient, familiar manner. I'm leaning Obama all of the sudden. . . . 12:35 PM - 1/10/2008 - comments {1} - post commentBacktrackJanuary 3rd - $0 spent today. Since today was a lay-in-bed-and-read-a book-then-go-to-yoga kind of day, lets recall a recent oomffy episode. Jess asked me to go shopping with her last week. She wanted a major wardrobe overall: "I need pants and skirts and dresses and shirts and sweaters and pajamas and a jacket" she lamented to a few of us. Ok, no problem.We started at Loehmans and quickly amassed piles of clothes in each of our hands. "I'll try anything," she promised me and I took her up on that promise. In the dressing room we tore through pants first then all the tops. I really loved this black crepe-like shift dress with wrap detail kind of Japanese style (orginally $285 marked down to $39.95) but the one we picked up didn't fit and Jess was leaning towards more casual, versatile pieces. There's a spread in this month's Vogue showing dresses with this kind of fit and detail. Unfortunately she passed but did take another, less dressy blue jersey dress with wrap. She can switch the belt and wear a brown layering shirt in winter with boots and a little tank and flip flops for summer. Totally cute and just enough outside of what Jess would normally wear. ($25ish) There were other totally perfect purchases. You'll have to wait a day or two to hear about more. 8:13 PM - 1/3/2008 - comments {2} - post commentWho doesn't want a little OoMFF in her life?Fabulous FindsYou know this thrill? You found something, ooooo, JUST RIGHT at a store ONLY YOU KNOW ABOUT (or truly appreciate) with a price that "originally was ONE MILLION DOLLARS then marked down to 98 CENTS" and you just can't keep the story of the acquisition to yourself? I love being thrilling in exactly this way. Fabulous Faults Happy New Year, 2008, and welcome to my blog. I used to be the expert, know-it-all shopper and finder when I lived in San Diego but I recently moved to Oakland, CA and I don't know much about where to go to buy what and I don't have much expendable income or a second job slinging hash the way I used to. So here is my attempt to stay connected to friends, savor my less frequent shopping expeditions and try to sort out the big raise but much less moola in pocket. Warning: this blog may be boring sometimes but I expect my friends to give honest feedback. Hear that all 3 of you in San Diego, 1 in New York, 1 in LA and 1 or 2 in the bay area? Be gentle. xox, shopping girl 11:06 PM - 1/2/2008 - comments {0} - post comment |
