Doggy-Friendly Restaurant Reviews

So, as many of you know, I have co-founded a website called EddieEatsOut.com that lists doggy-friendly restaurants in New York City and beyond. We are looking for more people to write reviews, so if you have a dog and have a favorite restaurant that you like to visit with your pooch, please put your review here!!

Polyvore Collages

First off, I just want to say that I freaking love Polyvore! It's amazing and so much fun! If you haven't tried it you need to check it out ASAP... even if you're not into making collages, you can view others and get great ideas.

Here are my collages for inspiration for my new apt:

Inspiration Images

So, I've moved into the new apartment! Yay! Will post pictures as soon as I unpack my camera charger ;) I'm not quite up to the point where I'm ready to post mood/inspiration boards as I said I would in my previous post, but I have been collecting some images from other blogs that I wanted to put up.

Bathroom
From the Apartment Therapy Small Cool 2010 Contest: I love the pops of coral against the white and gray. I also adore the way the shutter is propped against the wall by the bath, along with the lantern and plant. It gives it a beachy vacation feel and is a great way to spruce up a bland tile wall.

Living Room

From the current CB2 Catalog: I am obsessed with all things clear right now! We have pretty bulky couches, one of which is in the middle of the room the way that the couch is in this picture. This table and the vases add a softer touch to the furniture but don't add additional bulk!

This large round mirror over the sofa looks totally fab! Now to only have an apartment with those gorgeous pillars... (Image from Australia Vogue via La Dolce Vita)

This oversized lamp from Apartment Therapy is perfect for us because we don't have any built-in lights in the living room!

Gorgeous chaise lounge! I want to replace our bulky loveseat with a chaise and something like this from Abigail Ahern's blog would look fab (minus the dark green fabric... not my favorite color).

Yay for disco balls as decor! Don't know if I could really pull this off in our apartment, but I love it anyways... (Image also from Abigail Ahern's blog. She really has some great ideas!)

Bedroom

I just love this whole ensemb! It's a great way to organize little things, for example, the mix of the photo boxes with the vase, and the pile of books with the silver pig(?) on the floor. And don't even get me started on the duck picture! Amazing!



A great way to display our books & all the little trinkets that we have from India... (Image from Abigail Ahern's blog)

I'm Back!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the 3-month delay in blogging. I didn't disappear off the face of the earth... I've just had a lot going on. Since I last blogged I got a new job (yay for steady paycheck and health insurance), founded a doggy restaurant review website with my best friend from college (EddieEatsOut.com) and found a new apartment (moving day is FRIDAY!!!)

So, yes, I've been busy. But alas, I haven't forgotten about this little pet project and I want to get back into the swing of things with a posting later this week on some inspiration and mood boards that I am putting together to help me decorate my new apartment (think India meets Pottery Barn).For today, I just want to leave you all with some images that I have conjured up from my computer. I am planning to put these together to make a proper website, but obviously have not had the time yet. These are all original artworks by me.

Enjoy!!

Love, Ady

Ahh... Romance

I feel that recently there has been a serious lack of cute, funny, maybe-will-make-you-cry-out-of-joy romantic comedies. In the theater, on DVD... nothing! Every week I go to Netflix and look through the New Releases for something to put on the top of my queue, but I have yet to find something to fill the hopeless romantic void inside of me. This sounds dramatic, I know, but I am really getting tired of watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

So, to get to my point... I've been reading bridal blogs to help fill the void. Pathetic? Maybe. Ok, yes, pathetic. But I've actually gotten some really cute and inspiring ideas from reading the blogs. I know from many of my friends who are planning weddings that it can be super stressful and serious, which is why I was drawn to these cute and light hearted Save-the-Dates.

My New Obsession: Laser Cut Leather

Ever since I saw these Ferragamo leather lace peep toe booties, I've been OBSESSED with laser-cut items and they seems to be popping up everywhere... bags, shoes and even clothes! (Check out Rihanna in the totally amazing Marchesa black and white duchess satin gown below...) Needless to say, I am looking to add a laser-cut leather accessory to my spring wardrobe that is slightly more affordable than the Ferragamo booties.
