Michel Cluizel


The best dark chocolate at a whopping 99% cacao. In a very compact 1.05 oz. bar. I can only eat a very small amount at a time. It is extremely smooth, melts on the tongue very quickly into a clay like texture with very interesting deep tastes on the side of the tongue.

The Fall



Ahhhhh, I love this movie soooo much. The little girl is so entirely lovable. I love fantasy/surreal/reality films like this.

St. James Naval II

I am not much of a wearer of blue nor do I do stripes, but I have been feeling very old school preppy lately, and I have secretly always wanted one of these shirts. Apparently this is the real deal; St. James having been making them since 1889!? When it comes to this garment, the french say "oversized is better".

Bodega Arrocal Ribera Del Duero

I had forgotten about this one. So delicious. And a great price for how deep it is.

Claire Vivier


















I think I found the perfect bag. I really like handbags that are unlined and have minimal hardware. This one is simple and beautiful. It's made by Claire Vivier. All of her bags are made from remnant leather she finds from different sources in LA.

Aesa the BAAL

Ahhhh this is too cool. It looks like a space ship. It has two quartz crystals inside. I think it comes in sterling or brass.

St. Pattys Day


I wore my green PF flyers today. It was a nice subtle touch to go along with my normal mostly black wardrobe.

Justin Justification

Paso Robles is my favorite region in California for wine. Justin is pure yum all the way through. It is 65% Cab Franc 35% Merlot unfiltered. YUM YUM YUM.

Darth and Purified Water

WHOA.....This is what I feel like the morning after too much wine.

Miso Street Art



I like this street art in Australia. Her street name is Miso.
I took this photo a while ago, but I love the angle and the building looks surreal.

Julian Roberts Subtraction Cutting School













































This is my next project. I really want to learn this method of cut and sew. I have read a bunch on him, and he is brilliant and fascinating. He has a site that is only open on Wednesdays from 10 am until 8 pm. His designs are to drool over and are super drapy and sci fi.

Color Combos


This is the super easy baby blanket from Purl in SoHo.
(The best knitting shop in the world). I was spoiled to have this shop as my first knitting shop when I lived in NY. These color combos are beyond amazing, and individually each combo evokes so many emotions.

Prima Donna

This cheese is so awesome. It is a little hard and toothy, and delicious.

My Neighbor Totoro





You must see Totoro if you have not yet. It is a comfort film for every age!

My New Camera

This is my new camera. I am very excited about it. I know nothing about photography, but my old powershot from 2003 is a dinosaur and is totally shot, and my iphone camera just wasn't cutting it. It is an entry level Digital SLR so hopefully I will not be too overwhelmed.

Chateau de La Chaize Brouilly

Ohhhhhh, I love this wonderfully light red wine. I have loved it for a long time, but have not been able to find it lately. If you find it anywhere, you should definitely give it a try. They call it a Cru Beaujolais!?

SEXY

Holy SCHMOLY! This is sexy.

BAG LOVE

I don't know where this bag is from or who made it, but I love it, I want it, I have to have it!!!!

Laetitia Pinot Noir

I had this wine a long time ago at the Stiped Bass in Philadelphia. I have had it several times since, and it is always phenomenal! I would bye a whole case if I could.
