Jonathan Adler.

A few days before our trip to New York, I received an email that made me SQUEAL with joy.  I was invited to Jonathan Adler’s NYC Studio for an event that he was co-hosting with Diet Pepsi.  It seemed almost serendipitous that this happened to be on the very same day that we were arriving in New York. I felt SO guilty taking time away from my special trip with E, but when I presented my friend Mae with my dilemma, she insisted that I go and she took the girls to Time Square for the afternoon.  (Talk about a great friend, eh?)  E, by the way didn’t even flinch at the thought of being without me.
Our train pulled into Penn Station, we ran to the hotel and I slapped on some deodorant and fresh clothes and hopped into a cab headed for downtown.  Unfortunately, due to a major traffic jam I was a half an hour late.  I ran upstairs, wiped the sweat off of my brow and into the studio I went.  When I arrived I was in awe at all of the color and textures before me.

 Approximately three minutes after my arrival the wonderful ladies who were sponsoring the event told me that they decided to “shake up” the plan and that we were doing one-on-one interviews with JA.  “I’m sorry, WHAT?”  and within two more minutes I had a guy snaking a mic up my shirt and cameras in my face…… and there I was…… standing with Jonathan….. thinking “Damn, I wish I didn’t wear these wedges, I look like I am about to EAT him.”  Seriously, I look like a wookie standing next to him.  But never mind that.   It was time to pull myself together…   THINK, DAMNIT, THINK….. Questions, questions, what questions to ask?….. After fumbling through my words I was actually able to get some great dets out of the domestic god……

  • Favorite Color:  He said it was Sophie’s Choice… but Orange (knew it!)
  • Favorite Drink:  The Jonathan Adler (Iced Tea and Milk)  I’m pretty sure I gave him the “who farted?” look when he said that.
  • Favorite Flower:  Ranunculous  (at this point I told him that we were soul mates.)
  • Favorite JA Product:  Peacock Shoehorn (That one surprised me!)   
Jonathan was jut as warm, witty and hilarious as I expected.  I had such a great time!

So, now to the real reason that we were there… Jonathan is creating these Limited Edition straws for Diet Pepsi.  They will only be available in select Target Stores nationwide this summer.  We were each sent home with a set.. and they are super cute!  Of course the girls wanted to use them and I immediately snarked “NO!”… Seriously, I might have those straws buried with me when I die.

La-La- Lusting.

Have you all seen Society Social’s latest Magalog?  I was drooling, I mean seriously, drooling.  
I have had my eye on a Draper Table for a while.  I think I need to just pull the friggin’ trigger.
Loving the new Duchess Chair.

Not to mention these redonculous pillows. 
I love all of the tips that Roxy and Co. give throughout the Magalog.

Recognize that print from Cozamia?

I love every last digital page.

Mariska Meijers Flagship Store.

I received so many emails about the pillows in E’s room.  You can now buy them here.  
 They are made by Mariska Meijers.  I worked directly with Mariska and her team and couldn’t have been happier.  Mariska sent me some pictures of their new flagship store that opened in Amsterdam last month.  I just love her work.  Check it out for yourself.

A Sneak Peek…

As you may already know, E wanted her room redone for her 7th birthday (which isn’t until September, btw.. but at the rate I am going I am lucky to have it done by Christmas.)  So, while the painters were at the house, I had them paint our guest bedroom, and I couldn’t be more in love.  I chose Silver Chime by Duron.  It’s so calming.  When I first painted a swatch on the walls, I thought they forgot to mix it and gave me a can of white paint.  It’s ever-so-grey and ever-so-calming.  Of course, I am a color girl and plan on turning up the color with artwork and accessories.  My quest for color started with my framed Vera Scarf that I bought months ago.
 I finally found the perfect frame (I had to save up for it) and couldn’t be more excited with the outcome.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to give you a full reveal much sooner than Christmas. 😉
