Quote of the Day.

"This is America.  Pick a job and become the person who does it"

After my week off from blogging I have some exciting news...  I got a job in Washington, D.C. and am moving in three weeks!  I am beyond thrilled and so happy to be moving on from my current position.  Going after what you want fearlessly is the M.O. of this Mad Men character, Bobbie Barrett.  She was only in Season 2, but her drive left a mark on me and love the above quote of hers.   I'm glad to be back and excited about new beginnings.  Have a great week everyone.  

An Extremely Brief Hiatus.

February has been an incredible month for me in terms of changing my career path and working towards my goal of moving back east to Washington, D.C.  I have found that there are a lot of opportunities out there and I am so lucky to have so many friends willing to help me establish myself in a new city.   This week is especially hectic for me so I will be taking the week off from blogging and will return next Monday (If not sooner....)

Everything old is new again.

The 70's are definitely making a comeback for spring!  I love this decade and am especially excited that we are returning to a wider pant-leg.  I am so sick of the skinny jeans!  Here are some images taken from and inspired by that decade.

A 1970's photograph by David Bailey.  Even though it's black and white, can you tell who the subject is?  Grace Coddington!  There is a great documentary on David BAiley that has been playing on the Sundance Channel that you should try to catch.  I never knew he romanced Jean Shrimpton and married Catherine Deneuve!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Whether you are single or happily attached, I hope everyone has a special day!  

Indulge.

Watch.

Great Expectations is not only only of my favorite stylish movies, but also incredibly romantic.

Plan. (romantic dinner or girl's night out.)

Give.

This month's Vanity Fair discusses Hollywood's most fascinating couples throughout the decades.  These couples range from those that were devoted to each other over a lifetime (Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward) to those who relationship eventually imploded (Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton).

Valentine's Day at MoMa.

For those celebrating Valentines Day in New York, MoMa is offering a special evening for couples.   After-hours, you and your significant-other can enjoy a candlelight reception complete with wine and red-velvet cupcakes, followed by a small group tour of masterpieces like Van Gogh's Starry Night and Monet's Waterlillies.

Valentines Day is less than a week away!

I'm sorry I have not been posting the past few days, things have been very busy and I needed some inspiration!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
