Screen Style

Over the past couple months, I've become obsessed with reruns of My So-Called Life on the Sundance Channel. I was a bit too young for the show when it came out in the mid-nineties, but I'm loving it now. It feels so true to that time, with Claire Danes as fifteen-year-old Angela Chase capturing just what it's like to be in high school. And the grungy style feels so appropriate for fall -- or for cutting geometry to go make out with Jordan Catalano.

Falling

This weekend was such gift. Autumn had tinged the trees beautiful colors while the sun was shining and temperatures reached into the seventies. My husband and I spent Saturday afternoon at a state park. We hiked up a rocky trail to a vista, relaxed by a lake, then drove home with the windows down and music blaring. I can't think of a better way to enjoy such a gorgeous fall day.

Orange

Orange you glad the weekend's nearly here? Sorry, I couldn't resist! I'm really feeling the pumpkin hue right now, and I hope it leads me into a weekend filled with of all sorts of fall fun.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Enchanting

On this beautiful sunny morning, I'm feeling happy and inspired -- and these gorgeous paintings by Yolanda Sanchez match my mood. Aren't these works amazing? They're based on the concept of the garden, and the artist writes: "My work, in general, in a search for re-enchantment, for a way to reach below the surface of things, to find that point of connection with life. I want to engage the viewer in a sensory experience, one that is un-camera-like, un-computer-like. My goal is to nudge the viewer into a deeper experience of the present, where the 'circumference of self' is dissolved -- to provide a moment of contemplation without literally telling a story."

I certainly think they're enchanting. How about you?

Light Bright

One of my favorite things about autumn is the incredible light that comes about this time of year. And I can only imagine how dazzling the light would be in this forty-ninth-floor home in  New York City, featured in Elle Decor. I also love the modern touches, from the clean concrete and white walls to the streamlined furniture. And how cool is that Bob Dylan photograph?

Happy October!

My goodness, I almost forgot a new month has begun. Throughout October, I'm hoping to see trees turning glorious shades of red, orange and yellow and I'm looking forward to Halloween brining out our appreciation for all things black, gothic, decadent and even slightly creepy.

Out to the Ballgame

This was a fun and particularly sports-filled weekend. Every day brought new baseball and football games to watch. Yet the highlight was going to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday. We usually make it to a few games each year, but this was the first game of the playoffs so it was something special. The stands were absolutely packed and the energy was incredible. Every time the Brewers made a good hit or scored, the place erupted. My husband is a huge baseball fan, so it was really neat to experience it all with him. Here are a few glimpses of our game day:
