One of my best friends recently moved into her own condo and her sleek metallic fridge boasted a nifty magnetic spice rack, similar to this one below. I loved the concept, and found the design to be oh-so-chic, and convenient, in addition to having a certain aesthetic appeal. Something to keep in mind for my future dream house...

My blog is one year old today! Amazing how time flies...this time last year I was in a very different place in my life. I was finishing my last semester of my teaching program, without a paying job and therefore broke...my long-term relationship was rapidly unraveling, and quite honestly my life just felt like it was crashing down around me. My blog kind of began as a writing outlet, a way to order my then seemingly orderless life. Along with my family and friends, this blog ended up being a saving grace, giving me an outlet to voice some of my thoughts, creative energy, frustration, and a welcome distraction from everything else that was going on. It's amazing to me looking back how much your life can change in a year. This year I feel like I am in a much better, healthier place. I am the proud teacher of a classroom full of 21 darling little 2nd graders, I am in a new and exciting relationship, and I just feel better...overall. I guess you really do have to wade through the tough times to make the good times shine that much more. Thanks to everyone who has read, commented, and become my imaginary blog friends along the way. image/photobucket
Yesterday was my first day back to teaching after the 2-week long winter break vacation. I'm excited to be back with my wonderful students, but utterly EXHAUSTED after my first day. My legs were aching, and my mind fuzzy from extreme tiredness by the time I stumbled into my apartment. My couch never looked so good, as I happily collapsed into it for a fabulous, mindless hour of Gossip Girl. Rest, finally...ahh...
A friend of mine just purchased these snazzy Miu Miu heels on sale at Barney's. Sparkles, sequins, all I could say was...WOW!
This wine is fit for 10,000 feet. Who wouldn't pass up "Boarding Pass Shiraz," stylish packaging, an exotic destination, and play-by-play directions on how to consume. Wonderful.
Love this look from the Sartorialist. Since the debut of my new TV addiction, The City, I'm feeling everything in my wardrobe looks a little blah in comparison to the glitz and glamor of New York's elite. Maybe I'll add "try and dress more stylish" to my list of New Years goals/resolutions... image/thesartorialist
