gallery walls

lately, the gent and I have become a little art obsessed.  framing old maps, hanging vintage looking puzzles, and creating our own art on canvas.  I have to admit I'm loving the gallery wall idea and am completely inspired by the following photos.  How much art do you think we could squeeze into one little studio?

Labor Day Weekend- Traveling in Style

I'm about to hop a plane in a few hours for a quick weekend getaway.  And before we get to the photo collection below, I just have to ask: What happend to the days of glamorous air travel?  Flying, and traveling for that matter, should be a privilege, an exciting treat.  Why start out the first part of your journey in pajamas or crappy sweatpants?  By all means, I'm not saying we need to be dressed to the nines- it's not 1962- however, a little effort is always appreciated.  And if you're creative, you need never to sacrifice style for comfort.  I'll try to post a picture later- but for the record I'm wearing:
-a slouchy black silk t
-classic dark denim skinnies
-a pop of neon and a patterned scarf (for when it gets chilly on the flight)

Hopefully, as the great holiday season of travel creeps near the photos below will inspire us all to toss a little extra style into our travel ensembles.
