I like to move it, move it.

I came across a new favorte quote:

I love Lucy.



Who doesn't love Lucy? The comedic actress would have been 100 years old tomorrow, August 6. It also marks 60 years since "I Love Lucy" first aired.

Check out the Washington Post Article, 100 years later, we still “love” Lucille Ball


In celebration of all things Lucy, I hope to watch a few old episodes of her hilarious sit-com this weekend...talk about a true comedic legend!

labels or love?

Quotations make my day. I came across this quote yesterday, and it's soon become one of my favorites. I tweeted it yesterday, and my phone keeps lighting up when people retweet it (love when that happens - by the way).

Sidenote: have you seen the book "The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman?" Everytime I go to Anthropologie, I scan it and pretend my bookshelf will die without it, but I haven't added it to my shelves just yet.

Stay tuned for more a more inspired blog, promise.

Also, a special hello to all of the lovely ladies I met at Oh Joy Studio's blog workshop at the Ace Hotel this morning! Loved being in a room full of people with fellow bloggers that shared some of my same questions.

I love nothing more than a thought-provoking quote and good design. The Morgans New York Hotel teamed up with The School of Life to leave quote postcards on your pillow. So much better than a chocolate!

What a genius collaboration. Read about the Morgans Hotel Group and The School of Life's global partnership here. Seriously, you have to. I'm amazed by their creativity. Their partnership includes the creation of a Minibar for the Mind - which offers guests a "midnight feast of intellect, inspiration and ideas." For just $56, you can get a custom-made box containing an intriguing and thought-provoking alternative to the usual minibar fare:
- CONVERSATION STARTERS
Fuel conversation: A box set of 250 cards featuring questions, quotations and provocations.

- COLLECTED THOUGHTS
Feed your brain: A volume of the best columns written by The School of Life's faculty and friends.

- READING PRESCRIPTIONS
Drink in these words: Two tailor-made reading prescriptions from The School of Life's Bibliotherapists designed to evoke moods of relaxation or seduction.

- DREAMS & FEARS NOTEBOOK with WRITER'S BLOCK PENCIL SET
Pour out your thoughts: An open book and a blank page to write down your dreams and fears.

So what is The School of Life? It's headquartered in Central London and they come up with good ideas for everyday living (I'm obsessed with this idea). They tackle life's big questions. Why are jobs often uninspiring? How can we fulfill our potential? Can relationships last a lifetime? Why does community matter?

Has traveling ever seemed so fabulous? I need to stay at these hotels.
