monday distractions

I don't know about you, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting in gear today. So, I thought I would do what any responsible person would do in this situation - encourage others to procrastinate with me.

If you have some spare time today, or have a long list of things you don't want to tackle, here are three good reads. And really, reading is exercise for your brain and exercise is very important to your health. So this is actually rather important for you in order to lead a long and healthy life.

First up, the new (hand over your heart) domino. Have you read it yet?


My old friend Domino and I met for a date on the porch this weekend and we had a grand time. I love the Style Council layout, which gave a completely fresh view to photos we've all seen before. It goes without saying but I'll type it anyway, how I wish this was still a monthly publication!!

Then we've got the new issue of Ivy and Piper. Always a good read full of delicious pictures.
This amazing house tour is right up my color obsessed alley.

And don't forget House of Fifty. Several great articles, a feature on local (to me) genius Amie Corley and jewelry I am putting on my Christmas list.

Exercise regime for today complete. You're welcome.

How do you get thru a particularly slow Monday? Any other good magazines this month I shouldn't miss? Does anyone else get a contact high from Brasso?

  10. oh my gosh - you're speaking to me. not only was i not able to get it in gear yesterday, nor am i able to get it in gear TODAY. i could thumb thru pages of mags or watch all the RHo... all day. Except for maybe Miami. I'm REALLY kinda thinking they are the WORST so far

  12. I think this is a perfectly good way to spend a day! Hey, it's RESEARCH right?? It's like, educational since we write decorating blogs. Right?? That's how I justify it anyways!! haha. Oh my gosh the House of Fifty house is amazing!! That room is so eclectic and colorful yet still manages to look completely pulled together. that's when you know you've got skills!

  13. Oh man I am so jealous you can get Domino in the States. I have however, comforted myself by just spending the last who-knows-how-long-time-has-no-meaning absorbing Ivy & Piper! Yay for 'research'! xxx
