<i>You can achieve influence over others by being intimidating and
aggressive, but Gruenfeld encourages her students to consider the duties
that come with power. ‘‘Think of yourself as a protector,’’ she tells
them. This is especially true for women working in male-dominated
environments like Silicon Valley. ‘‘I have in mind the queen,’’
Gruenfeld says. ‘‘She has dignity and respect, and she makes people feel
safe, but underneath her cape is a sword.’’</i></div>

We have a 9 month old! And We live in Dallas! We're all caught up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is so much I'm trying to hold onto. Four weeks ago she started waving. It felt so momentous. She loves to wave. She waves backwards at herself. Twists her hands all around. The switch really flipped around 6 months, all of sudden, overnight/eye-blink, she was acutely aware. Of us, of lights, kitty, strangers. Screamed at bedtime, sobbed for 20 minutes before falling asleep. My sweet little baby has become toddler-esk. She throws things, bats at objects she doesn't want. She is wily and untamed. She prefers to stand. Shimmies around the house crawling at breakneck speed. Yelps and screams at the top of her lungs. Loves bath time, hates when bath time ends. She has her first cold, coughs like crazy and it literally hurts, deep down in my bones when I hear her cough in her sleep. Strangers always remark how beautiful she is, her long eyelashes, her sweet demeanor. My heart is in a constant state of bursting. </div>

This paragraph, particularly the last sentence, resonates with me deeply. It is not so much about vanity, as it is about the female condition and how love can be transformative at any age. I've been thinking a lot about the brutal nature of media and appearances (particularly living in a city renowned for it's vanity) and think of Hilary's <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/136867276147819327/" target="_blank">quote</a>, which I think of anytime I find myself criticizing another's appearance. Keep it in check.</span><br />

"She had fallen in love with and married a man who was as fastidious
about presentation as she was. Even in the hospital, day after day, Nick
arrived looking impeccable in his fancy slacks and his beautiful
loafers, because getting dressed up was a way to say to her that things
were still normal, that he hadn’t lost hope. All sorts of men had
rejected her when she was younger as cute but not beautiful. She wrote
about it, turned it into a comic riff — everything is copy — but
privately, it was heartbreaking for her until this noble man came along
and made her feel that she was as fabulous to look at as she was to talk
to."</span><br />

It's been particularly rainy and cool here. The fog and ocean air make me think of the very tips of the Canadian border towns in the Northeast and Northwest.

Bits that are whirling around in my head of late.<br />
<br />
Dreaming of motorbikes and design. This <a href="http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/the-happiness-project/?ref=holiday-issue" target="_blank">article</a> makes me want a custom bike and be best friends with these creatives.<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://yvonnekone.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> is stark and lovely. <br />
<br />
An evening with <a href="https://www.lacma.org/event/grace-coddington" target="_blank">Grace Coddington</a>? Why that sounds delightful, count me in.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ingodwetrustnyc.myshopify.com/products/drinking-situation" target="_blank">These</a> will make RAD gifts because they have actual purpose! Thanks, <a href="http://www.coolhunting.com/" target="_blank">Cool Hunting</a> for the hint.<br />
<br />
I'm selling <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330839433551" target="_blank">these</a> stunners on eBay as I bought the wrong size, but boy they look good. <br />
<br />
The photo I snuck-took when I visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Bruce Davidson's street photography is raw and cutting and will latch onto you. <br />

I think boots are the best. I wear them year around (which you can really say about any piece of clothing in LA) but I feel they are the best investment. Plus no one will no you're 3 weeks late on that pedicure. I found the Rag & Bone Newburry's on eBay for $280. They run very large in my opinion and/or I'm beginning to sense there is some vanity sizing thing happening in the shoe department. I have steadily been making my way down from a 37 to a 36.5 and now a 36. So, cheers to small fair feet!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have come off the rails. My internet shopping spree is mostly fueled by motivation to snatch the most discounted of discounts on items I have been eyeballing through Fall 2012. It's just an added bonus when I can actually manage to find gift items as well, because let's be frank, we online shop for ourselves, right? Dear god I hope I'm not alone on this one because I'm desperately trying to ignore-away the guilt monster sitting in the corner and I need to know I'm in the company of other internet shopping obsessors. In rapid succession I managed to grab the Alexander Wang Cato wedge boot from Net-A-Porter for 50% off, Chanel eye cream from Saks (they gave me $25 gift card for my $100 beauty purchase + it's a gift!), much needed 6" salad plates from <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/small-emery-taper-candleholder/s341940" target="_blank">Crate & Barrel</a> plus some bangin' brass candlestick holders and a full sweep of <a href="http://us.asos.com/countryid/2/ASOS-Top-with-Leather-Sleeves-and-Embellished-Panel/z2pxo/?iid=2473922&cid=2623&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Black&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1Ub3Atd2l0aC1MZWF0aGVyLVNsZWV2ZXMtYW5kLUVtYmVsbGlzaGVkLVBhbmVsL1Byb2Qv&MID=35719&affid=2135&WT.tsrc=Affiliate&siteID=lct18g.nJUA-TiZIy6D1E4Udm8YGsobeaQ" target="_blank">ASOS</a> (or a-sauce as my friend says) allowed me to grab 30% off a trunk load of shirts for the dude and a few pieces for myself, notably <a href="http://www.lecatch.com/" target="_blank">Le Catch's</a> leather sleeve embroidered top. </span>Sarah Morabitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08954099695312976374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371931631473641994.post-48418945346605683822012-11-06T00:24:00.002-05:002012-12-11T01:53:23.189-05:00From There to Here<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

a new niece!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been seasons of change. I started a new job (from finance to jewelry), I chopped off my hair (thank you Amanda at <a href="http://www.arrojostudio.com/studio/team/masterteam.htm">Arrojo</a>), a dear childhood friend got married, I traveled to Montauk and stayed at the enchanting <a href="http://www.kingandgrove.com/Montauk-Hotels/Ruschmeyers">Ruschmeyers</a> where I crafted, learned, ate and drank. I traded in our golden nugget (a 1980 diesel Mercedes) for tiny, Italian hot wheels which I totally adore. I have become addicted to nail art. One of my dearest childhood friends was married in the sweetest ceremony on a ranch in the desert (the groom sang Dylan) and we welcomed a new niece into the family. Well, it only took me 6 months to wade through all of that and get back on the interwebs and I'm so happy to be back :)</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">On the list of my most favorite activities, I would have to say home-peeping has got to be at the top. I get to see a lot of off the hook homes here in LA, as my man is a realtor, but it's not often that I get the chance to preview homes whose owners are kick ass designers and whose great taste I can only attempt to mimic. And then let me photograph will nilly. Charlotte Bjornlin D'Elia is in fact my husband's Aunt, so yes, technically we're family - full disclosure here! She and my husband's late uncle resided in Santa Monica Canyon - a tiny enclave nestled between the slopes of Santa Monica and the Pacific Palisades. During my last visit I had the chance to preview her jewelry, an array of gilded round gemstones, pave diamond encrusted necklaces, and handmade chunky, silver chains. Besides her amazing talents, their home is full of ooh-ahhh worthy artwork (big guns like Picasso and Chagall), vintage pieces (like the Good Year sign) and Swedish ephemera. So, like the photo-snapper-stalker that I am, I couldn't help but capture a few pics of their unique homestead. You can see Charlotte's full line of jewelry <a href="http://charlottebjorlindelia.com/">here</a>. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Santa Monica Main Street has a few spot on shops that I continually hit for amazing pieces. My most beloved is <a href="http://stmatthewsthriftshop.com/Home.html">St. Matthews Thrift</a>. One, because it's 2 blocks from my house and two because it's much more manageable than a giant box Goodwill. Its also has some of the most choice pieces - vintage accessories, dresses, dinnerware, and out of print books. Like any thrift store, you must be patience and willing. But there is gold if you're willing to look. I've scored Marni, Christian LaCroix and Dolce and Gabana at insanely rock bottom prices.</span> </div>

And now me. When I saw the ad for 30% off my entire online order, I just went for it. Here are four items I've purchase in the last week which have become the truest, dearest staples for LA living. I wore the bright poppy orange tie front blouse through an entire weekend. From brunch to shopping to a friends birthday party. And then I went and bought it in bright cobalt blue. 'Cause it's that good. It's sexy and laid back. The distressed tee and tank are no brainers at $10 each. This waffle sweater is part Vince, part A. Wang. I bought it in the off white and it's slouchly lovely. Just the right weight to wear alone, no jacket or warm weather accessories needed</span></span>. </div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">This weekend was simply divine. We had family in town so we took advantage of their hotel amenities and kicked it poolside at <a href="http://www.shuttersonthebeach.com/">Shutters</a>. While it's on the pricey side for hotels in Santa Monica, it's a perfect marriage of East Coast Cape-Codness and SoCal beachy. We hit <a href="http://www.adovenice.com/">Ado </a>for our Italian family dinner (you truly feel like you're in Italy, the waiters all speak Italian and the table service is impeccable - if you're trying to impress, take 'em here!) and the Farmers Market for Sunday Brunch.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I unabashedly adore bread. It is the ultimate comfort food. When I was home for Christmas my Dad made no-rise bread with honey butter. I devoured it. I could have eaten the entire loaf. But I was always skeptical about making it. Yes on the surface is appears so simple, but simple is just another word for really damn hard. The yeast, faulty oven temperatures, rising, it scared me off . Like a lot things that involve spending copious amounts of time in the kitchen. However, after our dear friends made homemade pizza for us last weekend I decided I needed to tackle it. I lover of bread, must master it. So voila! I made breakfast pizza on Sunday. From this <a href="http://www.oprah.com/food/Bacon-Eggs-and-Cheese-Pizza-Recipe">recipe</a>. Thanks <strike>God</strike> Oprah!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Moments from the weekend. Most important being my new midi ear piercing. Following the midi-ring craze I fell for the mid lobe piercing. I was like a amped up 16 year old on the Venice boardwalk dragging M into the tatoo/piercing shop.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Prior to my shopping hiatus pledge I treated myself to these amazingly delicate, silver above the knuckle ring or "midi ring". I'm enamored with the hammer. Thanks to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kriya?ref=seller_info">Kriya</a> and her patience as I tried to size the portion between my knuckle and nail. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I just did laundry. And while I loathe it tremendously, it served it purpose by highlighting just how out of touch I am with the parameters of my closet. There were dirty items that I had completely forgotten about. Grey jeans - ooooh I missed those! James Perse over priced white tee? I misssed you too! So, clearly, I can live without these things. So I will not be purchasing any clothing pieces, shoes, accessories, bags, etc for as long as I can stand it. My biggest hurdle is my office location. In the middle of SaMo shopping mecca - The Promenade, Santa Monica Place, Fred Segal, Wasteland and my ultimate drug, the Goodwill. I've given myself a caveat that yes, I can still frequent the Goodwill but I can only purchase something if it takes my breath away/makes my jaw drop and I feel that it is an investment - something I cherish and will wear often. I've got to give credit to Rachel of<a href="http://heart-of-light.blogspot.com/"> heart of light</a> for the inspiration. May the force be with me. </span></div>
