I couldn't decide which of these fabrics would be best suited to cover the cushion on my new desk chair so... I kiiiiinda ordered a yard of each. Hey, whatever I don't use, I can make pretty pillows or something out of :)

Such an amazing yoga class tonight! Sarah and I sweat out all our toxins and wrung out all our stresses... by the time we got to savasana, our butts were officially kicked.
Anyways, here's some colorful chakra-inspired pics from rajmtx's photostream on flicker :)

So my fab friend, Keyse, posts some of the most kick-ass craigslist finds over at her blog, Crocodile Tears... Being a loyal reader and friend, I scope out her postings daily and drool over most, wishing to god that we had a bigger apartment to fit all the eclectic furniture in...
Needless to say, she posted this beautiful desk from the 60's last week and I had to scoop it up!
"How much" you ask? ummm a mere $80!!! serious score.
Considering I'm about to spend the majority of my days at my computer, I figured I'd be much better off with some desk space and a chair that my feet can touch the ground at (my old setup was pub-table-height, not too conducive to good posture). Now all I need it some cute fabric to recover the vinyl with and I'll be good to go!
"What did you do with the old desk?" you ask? Well, we actually put it over the old microwave stand, giving us some much-needed extra counter space! clever clever...

I come to you today with exciting news...
After a lot of thought and consideration, I've decided to finally go full-time freelance!
As of September 1st, I will be ending my full-time position as the Senior Web Designer at Fresh and staying on as a part-time Web Consultant, hence opening up my week to focus on my main priority - my clients :)
Fresh has by-far been the most amazing job I ever could have asked for and the fact that they are so willing to support my decision is amazing. I've adopted such a wonderful family there and am so thrilled to be able to stay on and maintain their site while I pursue my own business. The lessons I've learned as a designer for Fresh have been priceless, a million thanks goes out to them.
So now it's time for the scary stuff to begin... I've been patiently building toward this day for four years now, slowly growing my client base and it's finally here - so completely surreal! The stars have been aligning quite perfectly and I couldn't be more excited to take this next step in my professional life.
So wish me luck! I'm sure you'll be hearing a LOT more from me now that I'll be sitting at home in front of my massive monitor all day :)

What is it about the the mid-august mark that makes you start to absolutely CRAVE fall clothes? These would be great transitions for before it gets too chilly!
All taken from ba&sh. Oh to be french and perfectly styled...
A bit of their summer line below. Man, I'll be sad to see the warm weather go :(
Anyone else out there tempted to cancel their net-a-porter email subscription? It's not that I don't love the clothes... in fact it's the complete opposite. I mean, I'm actually afraid to open them now as each one hits me with such force that it knocks the air out of me. These. Boots. Are. Sick.
That's all.

...how cool would it go with the Orbit Sconce from DWR??? (below)
Not only was she just featured on FOX 25 News last week (clip here), but my favorite client, Amy DePerrior, was just awarded Boston Magazine's BEST OF BOSTON 2008 - BEST DAY SPA NORTH!
A major congrats to Amy and her fabulous team at Luxebeautique. She truly has turned her big dream into an even BIGGER reality and I'm so proud of her that it nearly brings me to tears.
such a beautiful site (and logo!) by yours truly...
Located right on the beach, it's a beauty-junkie's heaven with it's personalized approach to shopping for the latest makeup, skincare and fragrance. The girls really know their stuff and are refreshingly passionate about the products they carry. Sooo... if you've ever needed a reason to make the quick drive to Swampscott, now you have one.
Even better - it is the ONLY place in the Boston area where you can get the hottest trend in Hollywood - INTRACEUTICAL OXYGEN THERAPY! This service is so amazing that celebs the likes of Madonna and Justin Timberlake have machines in their homes!
OK enough raving on my part - go book a facial, splurge on some awesome lip gloss and be happy already!
