Happy April Everyone!

Here is a little something to read.....

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.


Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.


Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.


Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.


And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened.

He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.


In the mountains, there you feel free.


I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
-T.S. Eliot

A Favorite Song

This is what I have been listening to lately. It's one of my favorite bands Arcade Fire covering an old France Gall song. I love French music so much and especially France Gall. Enjoy!

Nylon and LOST

I am so excited! My boyfriend got me a subscription to Nylon and they finally started coming in the mail so guess what I will be doing tonight (in between LOST of course). Maybe I will cook a nice dinner for Elliot and I to enjoy.:-)

I'm back for now

I know I have been updating this blog very sporadically and I am not ashamed to say it is due to pure laziness. Lately I have been spending more time with my friends, going out to dinner, and spending more time in my office because of new responsibilities I have. Last Sunday a friend threw an Easter party that was fun but in the end we all decided that Easter is a dumb holiday and we will not be celebrating it again.
Today I am working from my office and reading every fashion magazine we have to pass the time until a meeting. Right now everyone is wrapping up spring designs and starting to focus on Fall 09. If any of you don't know I work for a show company called Steven by Steve Madden.
There are so many things to look forward to right now with the new warm weather on its way! These are some of my influences and recent purchases.......the shoes are Steven of course.

Ladies with Class

Okay so it's obvious I've been M.I.A. for the past week or so but Elliot and I have both been sick. :-( I think the worst is over and now we can get back on track with everything. Today I am in my office and reading stupid celebrity gossip sites to pass the time. I usually try and stay away from these but today I'm glad I did. I came across these pics of Kate Moss that made me laugh. She's a little worse for wear in these pictures but I feel better just from laughing a little. I do not want this blog to be some place for celebrity gossip so don't expect to see other posts like this.

Back at home

Well Elliot and I finally made it back from our vacation. Unfortunately I came down with a cold so today I am relaxing and spending time with Fonda. I read an "Play it as it Lays" by Joan Didion, made a fantastic bolognese sauce, drank local Virginia wines, and got plenty of sleep. The house we were staying in did not get an internet signal so I was unable to write anything for everyone :-(.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I am looking forward to writing and getting back in my normal rhythm after recovering from my cold.

Vacation Day

Today is the day we leave for the country side. Finally it's here and I am going to spend the day preparing so we can leave later this evening when Elliot gets home. Right now I am making coffee and eating dried fruit and making sure I spend lots of time with Fonda before we leave. My friend Joe is going to be caring for her while we are gone.
Until I can get relaxed here are some highlights from NYC Fashion Week. It ended last week so all this week everyone at my office has been reflecting to interpret it into something we believe in.:-)
