Could You Live in a Trailer

From my new favorite design blog, desiretoinspire.net, this Airstream is truly a dream.  Can you imagine traveling to and fro across the country, living in this little shiny pod.  What a chic nomad you would be.

Gluten Free Delight! Rubirosa NoLiTa

I had calamari today!  And mozzarella sticks!  And I could've had pizza!  What a day!  Rubirosa has a large gluten-free menu, with pasta and pizza and obviously calamari and mozzarella sticks.  It was amazing.  Now, I won't say they were the absolute, platonic best of either item, but honestly, from a GF perspective, it was heaven.  Also, the restaurant is totally cute and my non-gf companions had pizza that they said was terrific.  I can't comment, but it did smell tantalizing.

McQueen by Sarah Burton

Even after the passing of McQueen, the label continues to live, and in a glorious fashion at that.  Look 1 might be my favorite.

Keste Pizza on Bleecker- Gluten Free!

My other glu-tard friend CW suggested dinner here the other night, as they have G-free pizza on Monday and Tuesday.  And I have to say, it was pretty good!  I mean, yes, it's not normal pizza.  But as far as hitting the spot, having a yummy crust, and really getting that traditional feel down, it was perf.

We had a margarita and a tomato sauce only. (the GF menu is pretty minimal but I am NOT complaining)  The dough had a nice chewiness and the sauce/cheese combos tasted just right.  I will so be going back.  On a Monday or a Tuesday.

Prada How I Love Thee



Again.

Amsterdam Loft of my Dreams

Generally speaking, I'm not a lover of loft-living apartments, I like a more traditional delineation of rooms.  But this loft in Amsterdam done by design firm Uxus Design is an exception.  It feels so natural with all of the wood (warm and lived in) and then, of course, the draping creates a more lush experience, contrary to that harsh modernity of your average loft.  Love.

There's a picture on their website of the closet, walled off by a very full set of drapes that is just such a beautiful idea, and can generally look so cheap and make shift.  I couldn't pull it for the blog, but I would definitely recommend checking out their work/website.

I want to wear this outfit, right now.  I know people are getting all geared up about spring but personally I  don't feel I'm done with winter.  And for that, I'd like to wear this.
