Erin, don't you love this photo?

My middle sister, Erin, hates this photo. But I really do love my Mini!!!

I have fair skin!

Really weather? Must you be so hot?! We Pacific Northwestern don't know what to do with this heat and no AC. Luckily, I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom.

ADAM - Trailer

Hugh Dancy is normally enough of a reason to see a movie but this movie looks adorable. I always love romantic comedies.

little sister

I was back in Seattle this past weekend with my family. My youngest sister, Coco (Colleen technically) and had a wonderful little photo session. This heat makes us doing crazy things. And no we are not twins. There is a 5 year age difference. Just thought I would let you know.

You Know You Want To Listen

Minus the Bear
I have decided to add weekly music for your listening pleasure. To start off, I am bringing you the fabulous Minus The Bear. They are from the wonderful Seattle, Washington. Indie rock music at its finest. My two favorite albums of theirs are their two newest, Menos el Oso and Planet of Ice. Seriously, you need to be listening to Minus the Bear.

I had my blind date and it was decent. Not great and not bad. He was nice but there really wasn't too much of a connection. At least it wasn't a painful experience. Hopefully the next blind date I go on will go better.

Blind Date

I have a blind date today! I have no idea what to expect but I suppose that is the point. It should be fun though. I am curious, have any of you lovelies been on any story-worthy blind dates? How did it go? Spill!

This is the last one.

I swear this is my last post on this movie. But I just got back from seeing it for free... free does make anything better but it was still fabulous. Seriously, go see it. I won't tell you anything else beside that I love Zooey Deschanel even more and I now think Joseph Gorden-Levitt is so stinkin' awesome and incredibly watchable.

you may work...

I need a lovely dress for a wedding in August. Since I have been in all the weddings so far, I haven't actually had to think about what to wear until now. The wedding is in a church and is on the more formal side....sadly, no crazy summery dresses.

what do you think? Any suggestions.

Seven Deadly Sins of Decorating

Sin #1: Inability to Edit

If less truly is more, then beauty is in the eye of the editor, not the beholder. Nowadays, battalions of furniture and tchotchkes seem fuddy-duddy but, more importantly, they upstage the most important component of any room namely, you (or me, if I'm lucky enough to get invited)! A radical cure for an overcrowded living room is to remove half the furniture and objects. Store what you love, donate what you like and begin thinking positively about negative space.

Sin #2: Not Listening to a Room

The best interiors are a harmonious marriage between architecture and interior design so spend time in an empty apartment or house before you decorate it. Get a feel for each room's proportions; register the quality and direction of light; contemplate some surfaces, textures and colors—then let the room's function dictate its design. In other words, the furniture configuration in your living room should not be the same every time you move.

Sin #3: Slavishly Following Trends

Ignore shelter magazine suggestions (guilty as charged!!) about adopting a currently popular interiors style like Asian Modern or English Country. The most successful rooms defy categorization. They're allergic to design templates because they reflect their owner's individuality and life experiences.

Sin #4: Resorting to Cliché

Rooms that stay relentlessly true to one particular style or period (even, dare I say it, mid-20th century modern!) are predictable. They leave little to the imagination. Good design is never stuck in a time warp. It's confident and surprising. Or, in designer Larry Laslo's words, "Glamour is rooted in the unexpected."

Sin #5: Lack of Humor

The best rooms never take themselves too seriously and yes, there is such a thing as death by good taste! A multi-layered interior should easily accommodate (and, at times, flaunt) some irony, wit or kitsch.

Sin #6: Fear of Color

The sage refuses to age with beige! A coat or two of paint is the least expensive and quickest way to transform an interior. Skillfully applied color acts like cosmetic surgery and opens up a claustrophobic kitchen or heightens a low ceiling. And then there are the mood enhancing qualities of color.

Sin #7: Formality

Along with antimacassars, straight backed dining is a thing of the past and more of us choose to use our "best china" everyday. The most successful rooms strive to be casual and relaxed. They welcome guests and encourage them to linger.

Have you sinned?

Behave Boys

Lets get serious. I love both Twilight and Harry Potter. But Robert Pattison will always be much better looking than Daniel Radcliffe. What did you all think of the new Harry Potter?! I loved it and can't wait to see it again!

hi there you

so elegant.

Simply Seductive

This makes me feel so much better now. Thank you Simply Seductive for posting this....
(Scorpio, October 23 to November 21: You may still be a bit irritated about yesterday's events, but it really is time just to let go and forget it. Besides, if a certain person you're quite fond of has anything at all to say about it, the type of secrets and intrigue you'll be dealing with will be far from unpleasant. Dim lights, soft music and sweet whispers -- that sort of thing just might be what they have planned. There. Better?)

Just because I think she is fabulous!

The ever wonderful and always lovely Zooey Deschanel. Her new movie, 500 Days of Summer, comes out tomorrow...that is if your city is lucky enough. Portland doesn't get it until next week! No worries, I am going to an advance free screening on Tuesday!

Wow. These two are amazing. You can feel the passion.
I missed the last 45 minutes of the episode. darn....tivo.

Lush

My new recent love....2006 Primarius Pinot Noir! It is fabulous! Not only does it taste amazing but it holds a dear place in my heart because it comes from Oregon grapes AND is bottled in Washington. My two favorite states ever! haha. It is light in color and has amazing fruit flavors. I am no wine expert so read this article instead. Yum.
