Photo Shoot

September 8, 2009

The photo shoot for my fall line was a blast. We usually pick a big location, with different spots selected for each shot, have a small crew and bring in models (like the lovely Cirilia!), but we did something new this time…
We shot entirely at Sticks and Bricks, a small store owned by our friend [...]

The County Fair

September 6, 2009

I’m really enjoying this long weekend with my family. The weather is perfect and we’re making the most of it. Friday night we hit the Three County Fair in Northampton, MA. Yesterday went to Stockbridge.  And playdates for everyone today (mine involves, erm, Anthropologie).
Top five highlights from the Fair include:
5. Spotting a Lexie Barnes Bali [...]

Back to Somethin’

August 14, 2009

Middle of August. Reminds me of school supplies and new sweaters. My kids have a few more weeks of summer vacay, then it’s back to school. And for me, that means getting this house ship shape. With four kids, you have to find a way to stay organized –  or you’ll go insane. And now [...]

Inspiration Point

August 3, 2009

Off to NYC again for some business… and pleasure!   We hit the three Bs first: Bergdorf’s, Barney’s, and Bendel’s.
I saw this adorable Zeppelin dress and snapped a pic for my friend Barbara “Lady B” Neulinger who is a huge fan of the band.  She also likes to stitch up her own clothes and though I’m [...]

100 Things

July 25, 2009

About three years ago, I followed the instructions in some book that said to visualize my goals by creating a list in three columns: TO DO, TO HAVE, and TO BE. For each column, I was to write down 100 things. I did it, and after I finished it, I tucked it into the pages [...]

New York State of Mind

July 12, 2009

As a city girl living in the country, I really miss walking the city streets and taking in the energy all around me. So whenever we go to NYC, I end up running the kids (and Cory) ragged. Back when I was in school there, I remember never wanting to take the subway to class [...]

This Land is Your Land… la la la

June 18, 2009

We went to Rhode Island for our most recent photo shoot and it was a blast.  We chose RI for a few reasons.

One of our models lives there and we thought it would be fun to shoot there.
It’s not too far from home in Western Mass, so we figured we could bring the kids and [...]

There’s No Business Like Your Own Business

June 16, 2009

One day, many moons ago, I was walking down the street in Chicago with my then-beau, Cory. We passed a boutique that was going out of business.  This was in my younger and more, um, obnoxious days, and I’m ashamed to confess I made a snotty comment about how much the shop sucked and no [...]

Mawiage, that Bwessed Sacwament

June 13, 2009

Today is my 10th wedding anniversary.We’ve come a long way since we met in Chicago at Jane’s restaurant in Bucktown. I was waiting tables there and he was one of the regulars. He came in every Sunday for brunch, only  missing it once  (it was Mother’s Day). Jane’s was — and still is – a [...]
