Ticklish From A Distance

Happy Day!

2012-02-14T12:51:00.001-05:00

My last post was December. Can that be right. Holy Hell! What are you guys up to?

happy holidays, friends...

2011-12-15T11:56:00.001-05:00

from the world's lamest blogger. So busy, as you all are, and love that some of you are organized enough to post and delight me daily. I clearly am not up to those skills.

New Year's resolution, perhaps?

Fingerless gloves for the season. Although once it gets too nippy, they serve no purpose. Love for medium chill and cool value.

You?

The new 45....I am told.

2011-10-31T11:08:00.000-04:00

Ummm. Ok. Amazing.

Annoying....but amazing.

busy.

2011-10-19T10:14:00.003-04:00

It is me hiding behind mounds of orders, paperwork and all of the other effects of the day. Hope you are all well. I check your blogs always. Hope to have some time soon to chat.

2011-09-13T08:13:00.001-04:00

Sorry for being so delinquent over here. Crazy, crazy with work-all good- but having very little time for delights like blogging. Hope all is well. Wish I had a pound of these!

happy long weekend.

2011-09-02T15:41:00.001-04:00

now this works.

2011-09-01T08:34:00.003-04:00

I understand the merits of styling, but am often baffled by real people in real homes who use a space, let's say in a hallway, facing a WALL, to put a sofa. I mean, is anyone really going to lounge there? I know there is available space, but it seems so.... insincere. Here is open space that is very sincere, and I am totally into it. Great use, great everything.

I have loved these images for some time. A big fan of botanicals, especially oversized.

looks like me...

2011-08-10T09:38:00.001-04:00

Very similar to my board next to my desk. It makes sense to me...

How do you organize your thoughts?

Great palette for Fall.

2011-08-04T13:03:00.001-04:00

I am seeing a lot of these in my work this Fall. Great eye-Peggy Wong.

but unless you are North of the Mason-Dixon line, stay the hell inside. Sweltering, oppressive, blistering....all come to mind. But, hey, it's still Friday!

delicious Fall colors.

2011-07-16T12:20:00.000-04:00

come on over.

2011-07-13T10:46:00.002-04:00

Sometimes at Dewdrop we have a cool sample in the office-a client requested something special and we designed some products for review before they chose the perfect one. Other times we have only one left of a best selling design from a past collection. Some days we drool over an amazing piece of leather only large enough to sew two perfect bags. All great finds, but too limited in availability to tantalize the masses. What to do?

Our idea. A one-of-a-kind sale, monthly, for subscribers only. Get a great deal on a great item. First come, first sold. Sign up here and we will email you when we start(late July)Sound good?

We thought so.

Seem to find myself drawn to this shade in my designs, clothes and home. Do you get that way? If so, what is your current obsession? Do tell...

divine

2011-07-07T19:00:00.002-04:00

Not a huge runway observer, but these two for McQueen 2012 are spectacular.

this could work.

2011-06-30T15:39:00.002-04:00

Let's pretend there is a back of floor to ceiling glass, then let's place it on the water. Need a fridge, a loo, direct tv for bravo, beer, my sweetie and a no teenagers allowed sign. A week sounds just divine.

love this.

I am a sucker for pink in all shades, but especially love the ethereal feel of these colors in the sweltering heat.

Would like to put my face on the cold floor. Took just one day of 90 degree weather to remind me of what 90 degree weather feels like.

SO cool....

Excited to be invited to do a series of trunk shows for an all time favorite-Henri Bendel New York. I will be there this week Thursday-Saturday and would love to meet any of you that are nearby and available. I will be showcasing my new line of travel bags and accessories and am really happy to debut it there.

Hope to see you!

shimmer

2011-05-03T08:09:00.003-04:00

Feeling very sparkly these days in all of the designs for my new collection. Sometimes I don't see what is in my minds eye until I have created about 10 things and I see a similar theme. Are you like that? More to come.....

yum.

.tempting

2011-04-27T15:52:00.003-04:00

I have always had a thing with a tatoo. I don't have any, but I am so tempted, just can never get the idea quite where I want it. I love this first image that my friend Mara Zepeda(amazing calligrapher)designed for the customer to turn into a tatoo. Really got me going. I am more interested, personally, in a smaller one that means something to just me. I love these hand designs as well. I have heard they are extremely painful. You? Have any? Want some.

Do tell.

The simplicity in this kitchen makes me sigh. You?

Just in time for Spring, guilt about not running enough in the winter. Look at these hoofs. Wow! Anyone ever taken a barre class. Really sounds good now.....

.shelf envy

2011-03-28T09:27:00.002-04:00

I am having an inner dispute(as I am the only person in my home who cares) as to whether to paint the shelves on my kitchen wall the same color as the wall of different. My walls are horizon by BM. I like the idea of the edge a different color....maybe......

Hmmmmmm.....any thoughts?

love...

2011-03-24T08:40:00.000-04:00

Love the art. Love the spread. Love the simplicity.

I do. Such talent, time and creativity, but does she not look a little like she has been attacked by the frock? Or that she is an octopus. Not sure....either way, I do get it.

But it makes me hot as hell.

I love how the small changes in this California kitchen-door color, rug, fixtures- give it such a different look.

Inspiring.

Ready for Spring. You?

oh come on....

2011-01-24T16:09:00.003-05:00

Not sure what the hell is wrong with me( I wear jeans and a grey/black/white tee every day), but I am drooling over clothes these days. I just want these boots and then, there is a chance- it may stop. I will have to stand still as a step may mean certain death, but I want them.

.don't know why

2011-01-20T11:14:00.002-05:00

This is not a fashion blog. Yet, I am finding so much inspiration these days in the simplicity in what I am seeing from some runway items. This kills me. Delish. Yes. Simple. Yes. Lovely. Check. And interesting.

You?

oh Oscar...

2011-01-19T15:29:00.002-05:00

Black Swan

2011-01-07T08:17:00.005-05:00

I know, I know, these images from the Times are old, but they remind me of the amazing costumes for the new Natalie Portman drama Black Swan. Anyone seen it? Sounds a bit creepy, but I am intrigued. Do tell....and have a great weekend, pups!

What a way to start a weekend...

2011-01-06T12:45:00.001-05:00
