Home Invasion

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blogging with a special service announcement: I have house fever. The hours I spent digging through online shops and playing in my closet have been replaced (temporarily) by google image searches of home decor and vigorously refreshing new listings on Redfin. My husband and I are looking for a little nook to call our own and frankly: it's become a full on obsession. Now, I know that this post has little to do with fatshion per se, but by finding a home with a full size home office will LEAD to the completion of my "top secret" new plus size fashion endeavour. So, with that THINLY veiled explanation in place, I thought I'd share some of the GORGEOUS decor inspirations that have kept me from chubbling your bubble these past few weeks.


I might never leave the bath if this was mine...


I think this is from a men's fashion campaign, but the colors are spot on for our master bedroom


Turning a bedroom into a huge closet/vanity? Yes, please. This is from Anna Sui's home.


Dining Room...the sleekness calls. Though, 50's diner dining sets have a special place in my heart.


I LOVVVVVE all white kitchens. Or silver and black, but frankly: all white seems much more common. But pleeaaaaaaaase, NO BROWN!


Living room of doom. Or joy. You know what I mean!

Does anybody else have the same obsession? I'd LOVE to see more photos/blogs with fabulous images. Comment section, please!

Mid-Year Goals

We are approaching the 6th month of 2010 and I really want to focus on making this last half of the 2010 productive, entertaining and utterly wonderful. Here is a list of goals that I would like to accomplish by the end of this year.

* Own a home - we have been hoping for this for some time and we are actively trying to work towards this by the time our lease ends (October). After our wedding gifts last year and a nice check from Uncle Sam this year: we finally have a down payment. If all goes well, we'll be pre-approved and looking at homes soon. YAY!

* Launch my new project - I'm actively working on a chubby-centric project and I definitely want it viewable to the public before 2011.

* Thin out my wardrobe - I have more clothes than any person should own. I really do. In our two bedroom apartment, any available storage is probably filled with clothing, accessories, or shoes. Now, this might make more sense if they were all in use, but for the most part: they aren't. Expect eBay listings, as I don't want these pieces to not have a home! (there are the current items listed here.)

* Fixin' that hair - I want to try and keep my hair the same color + improve it's general health. This is TOUGH for me. So the yellow is here to stay!

And so this isn't just text, here are 2 quick look photobooth snaps from the past weekend!
