Playing With Colors

In my quest for the perfect paint palette for my apartment, I came across this website, where I was easily distracted from my original hunt. An hour later, I had browsed through countless color combos, each with a fun, whimsical name that immediately grabbed my interest. I even made a couple of my own color palettes. This one is the one we currently have in our living room, inspired by some framed Cartier high-fashion photography that I have hung above our couch. I have aptly named this palette Vogue.

Things That Make Me Happy

There are a few things in life that all women should have: one perfect shade of lipstick, a little black dress, pearls, and a compact mirror. I'm loving this vintage compact mirror by Revlon that I found on an antique website. As I peer into the tiny jeweled case, I put on my red lipstick pretending to be as sexy and stylish as Bridgitte Bardot and I am temporarily transported to the old Hollywood glamour that I so wish would find itself back into modern day New York City.

Bonjour!

New city, new job, felt it was time for a new blog. For those of you who don't know me, here is some background info: Moved to New York City from the South to pursue the "dream job," which I got, and am now taking in my life one day at a time, enjoying every second of it. To glance into that wonderful adventure of the transition, check out my blog on xanga: www.xanga.com/NYCBrit.

And so now begins my "adult life." Feel free to take a glimpse, leaving your footprints behind in comment form.
