Bummer

So I completely missed out on DIFFA'S Dining by Design 2009 this weekend in NYC. Word on the street is that Brad Ford, one of my fantabulous designers, stood out from the pack with his "Change is Good" concept. But luckily Heather from Habitually Chic wrote a great article about it, check it out here.

Wedding inspiration

The color purple, "purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good color to use in meditation."

The color palette

Purple has a calming sophistication that can be seen below, enjoy...


Love this welcome basket for Bridesmaids and in-laws, will have to make one of these next time my family visits.

Love that each bridesmaid is wearing a different dress to suit their individual body and taste

Love this hors d'oeuvre table, It's very inviting.


How cute are these little redheads with flowers in their hair??



The best places to get fabric and ribbon materials for this look would be Joanne's Fabrics, Garden center for metal steaks, thrift shops for plates and urns, and Christmas tree shop for vases and cups.
I really like this look for a backyard wedding, It's simple to copy the style and the colors will enhance any outdoor space.

Here is something I am working . I saw this inspiration board in a Simply Creative weddings magazine and it made me want a garden wedding for my own shingding three years ago.

Charity Nite plug

I am in the planning team for a charter school. "Inwood Academy was born from a desire to see young people in the Washington Heights and Inwood communities receive an education that rivals that of a private school. We want children from these highly immigrant communities to rise up and become the leaders we know they can be."
I grew up in the heights and I am heavily committed to mentoring inner-city youth, this project is very dear to me. Come join us this Thursday and show your support. Let's work together for change.

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." -- C. S. Lewis

Ultimate City Girls I

Edie Sedgwick a style icon and 1965 "The Girl of the Year"


Warhol years

Edie Sedgwick: And what would I have to do in one of your movies?
Andy Warhol: Just be yourself.
Edie Sedgwick: Well which one?


James Townsend: You're going to be bankrupt soon.
Edie Sedgwick: James, you take life too seriously. How could I possibly be bankrupt? My grandfather invented the elevator.
James Townsend: Then you should be familiar with the concept of up and down.

This weekend

If you are in the city this weekend without plans, get down...

Go karaoke here.

Go dancing:

Bob Bar. "A revolving roster of D.J.’s spin non-cheesy eighties and nineties R&B, hip-hop, and reggae for a frequently packed house. Cost: Free before 10 p.m., $5 cover after on Thurs.–Sat." 235 Eldridge St., nr. Houston St.; 212-529-1807 (via New York Magazine)

Sullivan Room. "Several Saturdays a month at the Sullivan Room are all about the beats, with house-music devotees dressed in jeans and sneakers for maximum mobility and a dance floor that doesn’t start rolling until after 1 a.m. A clean sound system enhances the big bass-lines, hypnotic grooves, dubby tracks, and solid percussion favored by residents (and husband-and-wife team) Sleepy & Boo, who often close for big names like Derrick Carter, Satoshi Tomiie, and Green Velvet." 218 Sullivan St., New York, NY 10012 (nr. Bleecker St.)212-252-2151 (via New York Magazine)
