I might be behind on this one, but I just never print photos anymore.
The Walgreens App for your iPhone makes it so easy. Choose your photos, edit them if you want, click the closest location for pick up and you’re done! The Instagram pics actually come out as 4×4 and look really good.
No more kiosks and trying to get the bluetooth to connect :)
Tweet this! I was just going to write about the Daft Punk album that dropped this week, but I’ve discovered so many other “electronic” tracks I love recently! Here is a playlist of a few new favorites, one of which is “Do you…like drugs.” I think you’ll find the songs all add a little addictive beat in the background of your life. Subscribe to the playlist on rdio here.
Besides being a music streaming service that syncs to all of my mobile devices, rdio is my favorite place for music discovery. When I log into my Rdio account, without fail on my “Heavy Rotation” page, there is always an album by a band I’ve never heard of that I instantly fall in love with. This week, Elizabeth Harper’s voice and the bouncy, swag beat of Class Actress grabbed me. I want to spin to it, get dressed to it, do laundry to it. The sound makes me feel sexy no matter what I’m doing!
Andrew McMahon, the lead singer of Jack’s Mannequin (that I have loved for a while now), released an EP last month I’ve been trying to get into. He has such a good heart that is based in an incredible life story. When he puts it all to music, I feel blessed in my life.
As for Daft Punk, like everyone else I’ve been anticipating their new songs. For the first time, the duo used real instruments and a synthesizer instead of a computer, which seems impressive. It’s fun and mesmerizing as the single “Get Lucky” suggested.
Also included here is Miguel with some R&B action. Love, a fellow SoulCycle trainee, played “Do you….” the other day to start her class and had us all bouncin’ on the bike. Seductive would be an understatement :)
If you have any bands you’re loving right now, I would love to hear about them. Please leave your love notes in the comments below!
Tweet this! I was a Jeep fan LONG before they ever approached me to be a brand ambassador. My first car was a used Jeep Grand Cherokee that somehow survived all of my accidents still intact when I traded it in. More recently, I drove my ex’s Sahara 2-door hard top Wrangler in Atlanta. Without fail, when I pulled up to park, people would get excited to talk to me about it – the colors, rims, all of which were standard issue I might add. It is a good looking car and so much fun to drive!
This video was shot when when Jeep flew me out to the North American International Auto Show in January to report from the event and learn more about their 2014 models. When covering anything I always look for trends in an industry and models/styles people might not know about.
While Jeep is launching some pretty bad ass cars for 2014, I was most impressed with the Compass (car in this video). They took the capabilities and luxury of the Grand and SR models and condensed it to an economy level. In my opinion, there is nothing small about the Compass; it feels and functions like a full-size SUV. The price is great (starting at $18,495) and the fuel efficiency is even better. (Considering what I pay monthly for my Audi and how much I spend on gas, I don’t know what I was thinking.) Watch the video and you’ll hear about all of the fun features I discovered.
Here’s the rub for me. Having driven a Wrangler for a while, I would consider buying a Wrangler over the Compass. My two concerns being that it’s not a good car for security or hauling groceries. The drive is also bumpy in comparison to the Compass. Finally, the hard top is a hassle to take on and off. All of that being said, the Wrangler is a FUN car (which is why it wasn’t our main car). The Compass is practical and that can provide for FUN in many other ways :)
More to come on car trends for 2014. You might have already noticed a few style changes on the road!

My friend Georgina posted this on her instagram. What a cute idea to celebrate Charlotte’s 6th birthday. (I can’t believe she’s 6 already!)

Taking a tour of my friend Jan’s new house the other day, I noticed she had a lot of lovely new furniture. She kept saying, “Thanks, Joss & Main” like I would know what that is. Finally I admitted I had no idea what she was talking about. So I said, “Please fill me in!”
Joss & Main is another members-only website that offers beautiful pieces at a major discount. The sale starts at a particular time and stays open for a week. So, if One King’s Lane is like the Gilt of interior decor, “The Joss” (ad they call it) is like RueLaLa. Basically, they offer more mainstream pieces with a lower price point. For example, rugs on One King’s Lane will start at $89, on Joss & Main you’ll find the same size for $39. I also love the themes and styles they come up with to organize their sales.
Here’s your invitation, start browsing!

I never really think about how clean the air is INSIDE my house. Probably because I don’t suffer from allergies or asthma. It was brought to my attention in this infographic that not only is in the air in the house not clean (2-5 times more polluted than outside according to the Environmental Protection Agency), but that it can be harmful. Carbon Monoxide isn’t the only culprit. Below is a list of things you can do to help remove toxins and keep the air clean inside your home.

From the company that made the original Rabbit – the corkscrew, not the other toy – comes the carafe that promises to keep your wine cold for up to 90 minutes. I’m not sure when it takes two women over an hour to finish off a bottle of Chardonnay, but I do know it’s a pain in the butt to keep traveling back and forth to the fridge!
Click here to buy on Amazon for $50 – the price is right for you and a gift for a friend.

Recently I’ve been talking to several friends who have done renovations on their home or are in the middle of a custom build. ALL three found inspiration for their architecture and design from photos they found on Houzz.com.
Houzz is an inventory of thousands of Archtitecture, Design/Build, and Renovation firms and their beautiful photos of their work. You can browse by style and room, and save images you like to “Ideabooks” for review later. The website is cool, but the iPad app is addictive!
I’ve been following MiCaseEsSuCasa, ArchitectureBlog, HomeDesigning and DesignTraveler on tumblr for years because the interiors are just fun to look at. (I used to reblog my “dream home” all the time!) The House of The Day iPad app by The Wall Street Journal is also an enjoyable procrastination tool because the properties are amazing! But Houzz offers so much more in terms of comprehensive photos, info, and realistic concepts.
