I Spy Something Red

This apartment by  Círculo Q Arquitectos is what I'm looking into doing for my Pilates studio. I don't want to be to bold with color, even though I love them, but I think I right amount of accent pieces could definitely get the job done. Keep my BoHo chic approach with a hint of spicy. That should get the workouts going.

Brunch at Tiffany's with Jackie O

I'll admit that certain days of my life I pretend are a movie and actually growing up my Nana told me to pretend my life was the leading role in a film so I would always behave and act like a lady. Funny how things turn out... I won't say that I'm this proper lady (close but not fully there) and to add another 'Nana one-liner', she would say you that if you had to tell someone you're a lady- well your behavior must be saying something otherwise. I think I'd have to agree with her on this one. However, these dresses remind me of simply that. When women would always be dolled up and fashion was a statement not drafted but mainly accidental. I adore these dresses from Dig for Victory, they remind that I want to spend my mornings window shopping while eating breakfast and wearing my pearls.

Words of Sound

Attention: Mass producing of ultimate bands coming to you from the breeding grounds of Seattle! Oh, Seattle how I thoroughly love the talent that expands from there to here- like the ongoing sound that plays throughout my house by the Band of Horses. Not only do the vocals of lead singer, Ben Bridwell (some may remember him from Carissa's Weird), pull at my heart strings but the melodies couldn't be any more charming. Plus, playing their albums lightens up my annoying habit of me over playing my Seattle favorite, Eddie Vedder, for the sanity of my friends and my boyfriend. 

Bright Lights, Big City

The Limelight

One of my absolute favorite "One-Stop Shop" spots! And to be frank I know that this luring spot has a bit of a disastrously beautiful history, as to where it was a "one-stop" spot for prayer and then migrated into a night club that glamorously shared it's abundance of drugs and sweet addictions with all whom welcome it. However, the beauty of The Limelight is how New York won't let go. The building has been through decades after decades still standing and now is one of the hottest market places for independent shops. I love this place to this day and I admit I love it's history- even when Andy Warhol partied all night with Edie Sedgwick inside its walls.

Excuse Me... All Athletes & Non-Athletes

Get inspired and join in on the Nike "Make Yourself" Campaign. Get out of your comfort zone and get active- anything and everything makes a difference, even if you're not a track star (I most certainly am not), 'yoga-lite' or 'pilate-ian'... take that walk or jog because by taking the initiative your have already made a huge step forward, rather than the person sitting on the couch.

Nike launched its “Make Yourself” campaign last year, a marketing effort to encourage women who want to improve their physical form, to become “the best version” of themselves. Seven top athletes including tennis players Maria Sharapova and Li Na, track-and-field stars Allyson Felix and Perri Shakes-Drayton, soccer’s Hope Solo, dancer Sofia Boutella, and surfer Laura Enever, will serve as the female dream team in the upcoming campaign.

The ads will run in the August and September issues of Seventeen, InStyle and Glamour magazine, with an emphasis on digital components as well. The Nike Women facebook page was utilized the first time around; a dedicated wall allowed females from all over the globe to share the goal(s) they are working towards and in turn, motivate and inspire other Nike Women to follow their example.

From Me to You

I'll let you in on a little secret... we bloggers (if I do so call myself) live in these bubbles of "secret societies". I say this only because I have had the pleasure of seeing around the world from my computer screen through fellow bloggers and have picked up on some best kept secrets. Thanks to Sharona, my spicy talented friend, I have fallen head-over-heels for Graham & Green. OK, so maybe its not so much a secret society, since technically we're all giving and receiving information of all kinds of goodness. But I liked the sound of it-
