The Crushdown to 2010


Closing in on 09 & what a Sweet year it has been.
I'm getting anxious for the more crushables I'll be
discovering in 2010.
Wishing you stellar moments with your family & friends.
May your New Year be full of promise,
& One Million shiny New things to begin.
And May you always count your successes
not by how many times you fall to the ground...
but by how many times you GET BACK UP again. :)


Loving Lily Allen Designs for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.
Spunky Attitude never pulled of Chic better than this...


IN LOVE with this new movie. Uncertainty with Joseph Gordon-Levitt
New York City cinematography to die for. Breathtaking shots of the city I adore.


Paris in December Daydreams & Carousel Thoughts make me happy on
cold winter days


Vintage Lace & Taffeta found in lonely corners of Antique stores...makes me
believe we are forever blissfully Intrepid....everything carries on somehow.


Rainy Afternoons & Vinyl. It's the thing that keeps me grounded &
terribly sure that music is more about joy & emotion than just trendy Hit songs
& 15minutes of VH1 fame.


Beautiful Dried Roses tied with Chanel Ribbons...precious gestures from amazing sweethearts & ticker skips.



As if you needed another reason to Crush New Jersey??!!
I admit I DIGG The Cake Boss & I'm eager to get to Carlo's Bakery
in Hoboken soon...

Apparently I'm not the only one.... ;)


What is it about A man's dress shirt?
Truly is my favorite thing to wear...
& Of course Angelina looks flawless in ALL things.


I'll admit it. I'm a FOOnatic. Crushin' on the new
Greatest Hits Album. "Word Forward" is quite possibly my new
Favorite foo song. And did you see the new Foo Storytellers? Ooooo superb.

Bette Davis. Yeah her eyes made her famous but
she was PURE Strength behind those soft peepers.
I aspire to that legendary strength & beauty under pressure.


'Chute Boyz rockin the diners on Melrose Ave. Crush those memories we make

Vintage Candy Ads & Cute Cute Kisses


Anne-Celine Jaeger's FashionMakers and

Who doesn't Love Jean Novel. Ok, so I promise sometimes I read
for more than the visuals. ;) But this is IMMENSE design & beauty.
Get it & Soak it in...


MaddLove for Dylan Lauren's Candy Bar ...yes the daughter of designer Ralph Lauren owns her very own Candy Dynasty. And it's not just any Candy Dynasty. It's fun swirly sugarness on a tilt'a whirl style SWELL. I even want to eat the ACCESSORIES there. SOCUTE overnight bag.

Cashmere Cableknit Sweaters in Every Color please.
Cashmere & Cableknit are definitely 2 of my favorite words ;0)


Tiny Eiffel Tower figurines & My new Eiffel Tower Snowglobe make me smile.
I figure pocket size is a perfect size until I can get to the Real Thing soon....



I prefer my Earl Grey Tea in a fancy teacup. Some might say it all tastes the same...no matter what cup it's in. But some of us Know Better.


Miss Dior Les Parfum by Christian Dior.
