Sunday Obsession...

 

Remember Carrie Bradshaw's Upper East Side apartment? Well, somehow, it became my Sunday obsession. From the floorplan to the ultimate makeover (as seen in the movie), it's been about the fictional writer's fictional four-story walk-up all day. Since Carrie's pre-makeover apartment furnishings were mostly mix and match thrift store finds, I recreated the movie makeover for all you chicas who have Blahnik taste on a freelance writer's budget, like Carrie:) So here we go!

Love Affair!



Lavender... I remember the very first time I met Lavender. I have no idea why the experience of discovering this color is such a vivid memory for me. It was my 6th birthday and my mother ordered my birthday cake from the bakery. When she opened the box, it was the prettiest purple I had never seen! I asked her, "What color is that?" , and she replied, "Lavender."
 

In hindsight and even now, I can see why I was so enamoured with it. It's pretty, it's mysterious, it's stunning, and it's unique. Every time I see lavender I re-live that experience all over again! And there you have it, my love affair with lavender.
 

As for the picture up there, it just makes me happy. The color is part of the reason, but the interpretation of it makes it that much better. The Shoes? Christian Louboutin Greissimo. The treats? Scrumptious Cake (Courtesy of: Life as a Wife and Twice the Spice - Recipe). The room? No idea who designed it, but let's recreate the look!
