I don't need to tell you again how much I love Polaroids. Sadly (tear shed) as you know, they stopped making the film and the cameras but I do have a few boxes saved in my fridge for special occasion.

Until then, there is Poladroid and this new site my friend George told me about.

thanks george!

Living in NYC has definitely brought out my CO hippie roots and I'm trying to be more green. I turn off lights, shut off A/C and buy BAGGU My new favorite. I've been searching for a good bag to carry home stuff for my next dinner party...and this is it folks. Not only am I saving a few bags, I'm saving my back. I don't have a car like you suburbanites so unless I get a cute guy to carry my groceries home for me, I have to make things easier on myself. I don't need to tell you which one I bought...

I've been looking at floor mirrors for awhile now. I LOVE them. Not because I'm vain and want to see more of myself...mirrors really do open up a room and add so much presence. Seriously.

A few great options that won't kill my budget...

After a long day out wouldn't it be nice to have a cute coat rack to throw your stuff on instead of just piling it on the couch?

There is not quite enough space in my life for a coat rack right now but someday, yes.

A few years ago, I fell in love with this white beauty:

Beautiful, yes, but pricey.

I just came across this:

The price is right and everyone could use a pop of color in their lives...and something to hang your coat on.

5 friends had birthdays this past week,

so easy & the crowds loved it.
