stock for steak

in today's New York Times we saw this very intersting ad from smith and wollensky

we just had to snap a picture and share with you - smith and wollenksy is accepting stocks for steaks. because they want to be responsible and put money back into the economy instead of these large bonuses given to wall street execs.

now, we're not economists, so we're not sure exactly how this works, and there isn't any information on the website (link above), but we like the sound of 'stocks for steaks' as well as the idea!

new daily feature!

personally, we think we have the most wonderful job - we get to read the paper and enjoy a hot cup of coffee every day.

so as part of our daily enjoyment, we will be sharing with you - our most devoted readers - our favorite article of the day.

live in rooms full of light

yes, my darlings, follow the wisdom of cornelius celsus, and live in a room full of light from this awe inspiring lamp.

J Schatz's 'night flight to venus' pryamid lamp is incredible. it's one of those things i would like to think i could create myself (because the pricing is a little hefty for most of us - $875, and made to order) but i know i never could. it's really wonderful.

now in search of something comparable...and a little more affordable...

shoes

we were trying to find some fabulous quote about shoes and women and their shoes, but we think the simplicty of 'shoes' as the title for this post is perfectly acceptable and appropriate...and all of the above.

louise goldin. (who will be launching a shoe collection for topshop february 5th)

a picture really is worth 1,000 words.

spotted: jenna lyons

it seems that every time we post, it's is something we are just OBSESSING about, but in the world - this great wide wonderful world - how can we not obsess about most things?

you must realize that we love jenna lyons (mastermind behind jcrews fabulosity) and in our eyes she simply does no wrong (we've posted about her wonderful home here)

today we've spotted the ever-stylish jenna in december's lonny magazine, talking about the elements that she has taken directly from her home and into the jcrew collection store on madison avenue.

we might just have to re-do our lives house to get the lyons look!
