a new year and a fresh space


Starting off the new year right means having an organized working space. One where you can feel constantly inspired and motivated on a daily basis. Surrounded by the things you love, be it your favorite art work, books, stationary, reminders, or just a pretty bouquet of your first pick of flowers.

It also helps if that space is a pretty one, so here are a few desk and office accessories that I fancy…




Oh! And I think everyone should own a vintage letter opener, just my two sense!

Insta-Life!

I will gladly admit that I am completely and utterly addicted to Intagram! So much in fact, that it deserves it's own section in my blog. I think I will title it Life Instagramed.....snippets of recent things going on in my busy day to day life, that I manage to capture on Instagram.


So every know and then I will update this section with these images, here are the first few.....



My go-to red beret, this time worn with freshly trimmed bangs.


A piece of art I recently purchased from my friend Vallerie Galloway's show. She draws these amazing women of french influence & culture (my fave). This one is titled "la bicyclette." Here is her Etsy store, you should take a lookie-lou, I know you will fall in love!


I was feeling a little under the weather this particular evening. So, I stayed in with a comfy blanket, hot cup of tea and a good movie!


I was super excited to get a new bag, especially this pretty little practical brown Coach one. It fits my day planner and steno pad perfectly. You know,  the one I can't live without (for the sake of writing my thoughts & things to do list down).


I guess I'm a little anxious to go on vacation. We still have a week and a half to go, but I dug out the luggage and started packing for Austin last weekend!


A sweet strawberry treat (strawberries & sugar), that I used to share with my Grandmother as a child. I still get all giddy when I make this snack, it brings back a lot of precious moments I spent with her as a child. 


Romeo has been enjoying playing with our new puppy Gracie. She has been the little soul that completes our family. She is constantly cuddled and kissed.


The fall baseball season is almost coming to an end in November, but only a few months off and then the busy baseball boy's schedule will resume. I tell you, this kid eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball!


Someday, Romeo is going to make a really good boyfriend or husband. He surprised me with a Saturday morning breakfast.


Yoda pancakes to be exact!


A Sunday morning walk to the coffee shop, just the three of us and Gracie! Romeo was more excited about his miniature coffee cup, then he was the hot chocolate inside. 


Our most recent editorial photo shoot at Black Cat Vintage, here is a sneak peak of the wardrobe in my workspace that day-yum, yum!


More yummy vintage pieces to play with at Black Cat! Feather hats for Spring!


Till next time,
