Weekend in the sun.
58-60
61 / 62
Saw Tim Reynolds at Evanston Space on Halloween and man, that guy can play the guitar. So impressed! Oh and one of my friends brought Fran's gray salt chocolate caramels back for me. Heaven!!!
78 thru 68
SERIOUS catch up kids! So yeah, life has been wizzing by at a pace that I can barely take a photo, let alone post it and blog about it. Not sure if I should be happy about that or sad... one does not want to spend too much time in the virtual world, but I do find I miss blogging when it's been a while... So here are days 78 thru 68.
79 bed!
I have been looking for a "real" bed for years! I don't know why I see it as such a commitment, but it's one of those items that you should have for a really long time. So finding just the right one that I could live with seemed overwhelming. Leather? Linen? Lacquer? As a designer, I often times find myself paralyzed by the possibilities. Silly, I know.
So when I saw this navy linen gem come across my email on One Kings Lane, I decided to click buy! I NEVER purchase furniture that I haven't seen in person, but for some reason this just jumped out at me. It finally arrived this week and my awesome friends, the Robinson's, came over to help me assemble!
Finally, I have a real grown up bed! It's the little things I tell you..

80 blue bunny
Oh how I love Fall! I love the food - pumpkin everything! - and it's the only time of year that I can find my favorite ice creams! Cinnamon is probably my all time favorite ice cream. It has been since I was a kid. In the off season I will buy a really good vanilla, melt it a little bit and add cinnamon to make my own. :)

Found this fun website called Everlane - they sell fabulous t-shirts, bags and totes that are made of quality materials, but sold at wholesale prices. My tote arrived today!

10 on 10 on 10.10 { oct 2012 }
I really like the 10/10 challenge, but when it happens on a weekday it's super hard for me to find photo worthy moments!! That said ... here's my Wednesday!
I found this cute little pouch at The Paper Source - it holds all of my lip gloss in the car. I am a little crazy about pouches. And lip gloss, for that matter.
Tea in my Starbucks cup from Hawaii. Would love to be spending Halloween in Hawaii again this year, but sadly that is not in the cards for me this year.
Carolina's Buddah is kind of freaking us out in the office. She sat him on top of her computer a few days ago and he keeps moving. She pushes him back and he ends up about to fall off the front edge of the monitor. Spooky!
My work ... I have to move so fast I can't even take time to focus the photo... ridiculous!
Mrs. D's for lunch - it's a local dive, with lots of fun wall art!
Then we popped into a new specialty gorcery store in Wilmette called Artisanal - they've got super fabulous stuff! Who doesn't love a "happy room" full of craft beer, wine and liquor? Mmmm! They have an on site butcher and offer fresh meats from local farmers that they cut on site.
It was a beautiful day, bright and sunny, but 50 degrees! So not ready for puffy coats, hats and scarves.
Off to the spa for a much needed massage! Finally think I found a therapist that I want to go back to. She did a great job on my neck and back tonight!
Dark by the time I was out ... when is daylight savings time?
Ahh blurry traffic. Love my iPhone in motion!
Hope you had a fabulous 10 on 10!
83 metra
If I has to commute via train in Chicago, I'd want to take the Metra!

84 fall beach
Had a working lunch downtown at Piccolo Songp Due that was fabulous! I will go back for the butternut squash ravioli for sure! I love Fall specials! Drove back up the drive and enjoyed the rich colors of the season. Sad to see the beach empty tho.

85 kinky boots
Saw Kinky Boots and thought it was wonderfully entertaining! The cast was spectacular and the voices, amazing! Loved the story, but the score is the best part! So impressed by the queens in those high heels dancing!
