The Travel Issue

I'm giving you even more advance warning this week that the WSJ Magazine will be inside the Wall Street Journal newspaper on Saturday, October 12th. It's the travel issue which includes a fabulous story on Mozambique but what I want to see more of is the fashion story with Dree Hemingway above. There is just something about this photo that is total perfection. Can't wait until Saturday!

Sweater Weather

When I first saw the cover image of the Wall Street Journal Magazine last week, it looked more appropriate for September not May but the jokes on me.  It's currently 45 degrees in New York and this cable knit sweater from The Row would be perfect to wear today.  The magazine is inside the Saturday, May 25 edition of the Wall Street Journal newspaper.  Make sure you pick it up. It will give you something to read while you're warming your feet in front of the fire in The Hamptons. 

Bon Weekend!

Fabulous Forsythia

Flowering branches are the best mood lifter every spring.  I went out looking for Quince or Cherry Blossoms last week but could only find Forsythia in my neighborhood.  They turned out to be the perfect complement to my gallery wall and tablescape and were the best $18 I've ever spent.  

Funny enough, the Off Duty section of the Wall Street Journal newspaper had a feature on hiding televisions in plain sight.  Mine blends in with the gallery wall of art as best a big black rectangle can but for more ideas, you can read the article here.

Happy Spring! 

XOXO,

The New WSJ Magazine

I apologize for another short post but I'm still under the weather.  One bright spot today was receiving an advance copy of the new WSJ Magazine with new editor Kristina O'Neill at the helm.  I've been reading it already and I think you're going to like it just as much as you did before.  It will be inside the Wall Street Journal newspaper on Saturday, February 16th so don't forget to pick it up so you have something new to read over the long weekend.

Chic Reading: WSJ Magazine

I had to go to multiple stores yesterday to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal with the December WSJ Magazine insert.  If you missed it yesterday, you can luckily read all the stories online.  You should definitely read All the Pretty Houses about designer Daniel Romualdez and his gorgeous homes seen here and also the features on Herve van der Straeten and John Derian. Happy reading!

It's Hip to be Square

I was worried that the Wall Street Journal Magazine wouldn't continue to excite after editor in chief Deborah Needleman decamped to T magazine.  Luckily, the November Special Innovators Issue I picked up today didn't disappoint. I especially loved reading more about Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey.  You can read the entire story here but it was his journal pages that really inspired me.  I'm always busy but I wonder if I could be working smarter.  It's also easy to get discouraged by nasty comments and rude emails.  Jack Dorsey's "field notes" are a reminder to keep my eye on the prize while always striving to do the right thing.
