New York’s Chelsea Hotel aka Hotel Chelsea
I’ve been in NYC since 1990. I was a/am a punk (at least in spirit these days). In my “formative” years I shaved my head, dyed it green/white/black, etc. My favorite was hot pink. Oh Manic Panic…how I loved your hair dyes…except when I got caught in the rain. I used to wear mens long [...]

And now…mine! Yes, it will be donated. It’ll make a cute little redhaired wig, dontcha think? I was freaking out because the stylist cut it about..FOUR INCHES MORE than I asked for. Overall though…I’m digging it. The Fiance really likes it, keeps mentioning that he wants to show me something in the bedroom…MEN! Anyway, I thought it [...]

I started the “I Wanna Accomplish This” List back in May 2007 and then updated it in November 2007. The “cut off date” to accomplish more of the things on my list was New Years. Well, New Years came and went. It’s now January 30th. What have I really done!?!?! Here’s the 11/5/07 post below and [...]

I tease the Fiance constantly. Most men have crushes on women like Angelina Jolie or Cindy Crawford or whomever. You get the idea. Not my Fiance. He’s all about The Travel Channel’s Samantha Brown. He’s got a massive crush. I quizzed him last night on why exactly she rocks his world. Apparently it’s the tight [...]

I’m getting my damn hair cut by their stylist tomorrow. Yep. It could be drastic. Yep. The Fiance is freaking out that I’ll come home with “bangs” aka “Fiance Repellants”. HeeHeeHee copyright 2007 iloveupstate.com

OOPS. Did I mention that this all fell into my life? What can I say…the William Sonoma Home, Pottery Barn, West Elm outlet was having a sale…40% off the ENTIRE store and 60% off ALL furniture and the damaged rack stuff was 70% off. I had $219 in gift cards. I’m estimating that I got [...]

This would be why a glass of water has not gone unattended in our house for 14 years. She never asks first…just dives right in. By the way…Tal is not allowed up on the tables…but she is allowed up our desks. She likes to watch us type and knocking pens on the floor is oodles [...]

I couldn’t sleep last night so I was up till 2AM putting junk, umm, I mean “fabulous stuff” up on ebay and eating the Fiance’s Stoned Wheat Thins. We fight over Stoned Wheat Thins. Who ate more than the other, who paid for them, who hid them, etc. We do love our Stoned Wheat Thins. [...]

So I got the dreamy white lacquer-ish desk & file cabinet last night. My regular mover-guy Eric had truck issues so he referred me to another guy, Harry. Harry was funny as hell and I love nothing better than tooling around NYC in a big truck. I was the girl that always rented the big [...]

25. January 2008
I left the office early yesterday to go out and do some retail checks/investigation. Perhaps, my favorite part of my job. Every once in awhile they kick us out to go shopping and have a one-on-one relationship with what’s currently out there at retail. This is also a great time to do some personal shopping. [...]

24. January 2008
Here’s a quick recap of my recent string of ebay heatbreaks… See those groovy Dorothy Draper-ish dressers? My house had TWO OF THEM when I toured it. I tried to make the dressers part of the deal but the former owner wasn’t having it. Sigh. So out of my life they were carried. Since then I [...]

These are currently on Craigslist and they are TORTURING ME. I want them. I can’t afford them. I’m broke at the moment. Between the holidays, our vacation, the kitchen renovation and work announcing that our annual bonus’ would be late…I’m strapped. But! But! But! I want these. White metal shelving – $99 each, he will [...]

22. January 2008
Win a fabulous prize…if you can guess which celebrity owns this bathroom. Yes, that’s me in the bathroom. Yes, I washed my hands. Yes, I’d probably take pics if you let me use your bathroom too. What can I say? You can’t play if you’re on MY “MY SPACE” list or are a member of the [...]

The day started off with a dozen bagels. No, I did not eat a dozen, but I did eat 2. The Fiance offered to put together my Ikea Helmer shelving unit. PLEASE ignore the fug plum ottoman, it WILL be slipcovered to match the newly reupholstered chairs shortly. Anyway, this is as far as the [...]

21. January 2008
I don’t know how I ended up on her blog. I was just randomly clicking from one place to another. The posts are freakin’ scaring me! From her obsession with auctions, flea markets, hollywood regency, all things kelly green, her desire for J.Crew home decor, subway tile, chandeliers, and even BEADED fruit etc. I do [...]
