Kathleen Burlew

I do hope you've all had a chance to click over to one of my newest sponsors, Kathleen Burlew Creative. Kathleen is a gifted calligrapher and sells gorgeous custom invitations and stationery. If you have a chance, I recommend stopping by each of my super talented sponsors and seeing what they're up to — they're a very inspiring bunch!

Desk Du Jour

The Thanksgiving festivities have wound down around here and it's time for me to get to work before I head back to school on Sunday — just in time for final exams! This semester has flown by and I'm so looking forward to the New Year and a clean slate. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!

The Day After

How was your Thanksgiving? More importantly, how are you feeling today? 
Are you dog tired...
...or up for some Black Friday shopping?

Giving Thanks

I know you're all busy busy in the kitchen or on the road but I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for reading, commenting, emailing, and making me feel like the above every single day. It's been a big year for me — an unforgettable internship with Jonathan Adler, my first articles published in Ruea new column with Design Refuge (starting in December!), and countless new friends for whom I will be forever grateful. I never knew blogging would give me everything it has and I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart.

Have the loveliest weekend! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

If You Can't Take The Heat...

...Get out of the kitchen! Any one of these gorgeous kitchens would be perfect for holiday food preparation with lots of chatter on the side. What does your dream kitchen look like?

Anne M. Cramer


I'm smitten with this fall/winter collection from new-to-me clothing designer Anne M. Cramer. Her pieces come in a variety of textures, from wool to velvet and everything in between, and I'm pretty sure everyone needs a party dress all tied up with a bow. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon her site!


Home For The Holiday

My boyfriend and I are currently en route back to Connecticut to spend the next few days catching up with family and celebrating Thanksgiving. What are your plans for the holiday?

Shoe Storage

I'm head over heels for these glimpses into the closets of the shoe-obsessed. How is your shoe collection organized?

A Dream Come Rue!

Did you see it, did you see it?! I swear it's there, in teeny tiny letters — my name has graced the pages of Rue Magazine's second issue! My mind has been blown by their sophomore issue's content and new-and-improved design. I think I could even frame the cover for my walls!
Please do stop over when you have a moment. You will not be disappointed! You'll find me on page 45 for an interview with the folks behind Nickey Kehoe, on page 224 for the jewelry designer behind Anndra Neen, and on page 238 for gentlemen's holiday party chez Scot Meacham Wood. Thank you for your support!
