The Now’s NYC Getaway

Alex Kaehler — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:50:00 +0000

Hello everyone! It’s Elizabeth and Annie from THE NOW. We’re thrilled to be guest blogging on TTS today… after all, Alex is one of our blogging besties!

Today we’re taking you on a little tour of our dream home. Well, make that our dream NOW Getaway. Every blogging duo needs one, right? After all, we both live in Dallas with our guys (E with her hubby, and A with her hubby-to-be), but wouldn’t it be nice to have that perfect, girly getaway to jet off to every once in awhile? Our dream home is located in Manhattan, and there’s plenty of room for the two of us to have master suites of our own. Plus, we threw in a darling bunk room for our little nieces and nephews. Oh, and for any of you who want to come visit us!

Check it out!

xoxo E & A

Ok quick note from Alex – This might’ve been one of my all time favorite posts, you girls created the house of my dreams!! Can we all move to NYC and create it ASAP???

Closet Reveal

So…When we moved in I politely asked (required) the boyfriend to use the guest closet so I could have this guy all to myself. And thank goodness I did, because I use ever single square inch of it.

I didn’t style it or organize it. I wanted you to see what its really like. What I did do was hang my chandelier, put in a new rug and pick up my laundry off the floor! I even left that bottom drawer a little open… oops!

So now that you have the background… here it is:

(Click images to see them bigger)

So you see? Its nothing so crazy fancy. No island. No full, head on shots. But I love it.

Here are the details:

* I used all of these hangers and I will NEVER go back (be careful, the black looks pretty but it sheds, so I went with Ivory)

* My chandelier was a vintage find and I am obsessed

* The rug is from CSN and it was the perfect touch. Having something soft under my feet makes a world of difference in the morning

*My jewelry is stored in a jewelry box that was the very first present I ever got from my boyfriend, 8 years ago! I still love it just as much

*My little teacups belonged to my grandmother.

*The necklace branch holder thing is from Urban.

Hope you enjoyed and that I didn’t build it up too much! It was definitely good motivation for me to get those finishing touches completed.

This weekend…

I am going to be productive. I really, truly am. Ok, I said it to all of you, so I have to do it right?

My productivity is going to consist of getting some things “blog share ready”. Here’s a hint:

Hope you having a lovely weekend, full of productivity (and lots of cocktails)! xoxo

PS My friend Eva has an amazing blog, Eva Rose, and her post today really made me smile. I love looks into people’s lives and my dog greatly appreciates the shout out

Discovery: The Coveted

Alex Kaehler — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 13:30:00 +0000

So recently I got an email that got me thinking about closets… Would you want someone peaking inside yours? I feel a little shy about it, but the thing is, I LOVE looking at other people’s. Love love when other bloggers post pictures of theirs. So I almost died when I read about a new website, The Coveted. Its basically like the Selby but for closets only. I’m in heaven.

These gorgeous shots come from the closets of the Senior Market Fashion editor at Harpers Bazaar, the Fashion Market Editor at Teen Vogue and the Director of Communications & Celebrity at Helmut Lang and Theory. Could you just die? So far there has only been one group of pictures posted on January 21st, but I’m really crossing my fingers that there will be many more.

I only posted a small sampling so I would definitely suggest heading over to take a looksie. And yes, The Coveted has totally got me inspired to get my closet in order to share with all of you.
