and the winner....

of jenny's adorable headband: CEB who was picked randomly by hugh and commented love!

it goes perfectly with this photo kelly took of me a couple days ago at the dreamiest store in NYC... ABC Carpet & Home. It's like Anthropologie on steroids with 6 floors and triply expensive. Sigh. Much more to report from my Surtex trip soon!

Please email me CEB at matirose (at) gmail (dot) com with your address :)

yo-yo headbands

Aren't these the cutest?! My insanely creative intern Jenny has launched a new business called Jenuine Ruby! These are her adorable daughters modeling her new yo-yo headbands. I just ordered one for myself and can't wait to wear it. It seems like an easy way to hair happiness.






Jenny is offering a GIVEAWAY! The winner can choose any headband from her shop. Leave a comment here to be entered by May 20th!

peeking out to say hello

i've been quiet lately! it usually comes with busyness, but i've also been feeling lost for words on what to share. i'll start with myself in my new bathroom. it's a wonder what a new perspective will do. our old bathroom was tiny, dark and had a loud fan (6 years of this). our new bathroom is light filled, with a clawfoot (i feel i yell this from the rooftops) and large counter for my baubles and view outside to our lemon tree (this i yell too). it does wonders for my self-esteem. who knew?

ps- i also recently got a hair cut-- about half of it! it was long and just hung down droopy. now i wear pigtails + have heaps of new gray hair to boot.
