KISSED ME IN THE RAIN BY THE RUE VOLTAIRE

IT'S A PERFECTLY GOOD WAY TO RUIN THOSE SILK SHOES...

I ADMIRE


‘I love food and hate exercise. I don’t have time to work out… I don’t want to be on the cover of Playboy or Vogue. I want to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or Q. I’m not a trend-setter… I’m a singer… I’d rather weigh a ton and make an amazing album than look like Nicole Richie and do a shit album. My aim in life is never to be skinny.’
- Adele

APARTMENTS IN THE CITY


I MISS SEX & THE CITY. IT IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW OF ALL TIME. LIVING IN NYC NOW, I LIVE 3 BLOCKS FROM 'CARRIES HOUSE' ON PERRY ST, IN THE WEST VILLAGE... THE FAMOUS STAIRS ON WHICH SHE SAT PONDERING LIFE & SMOKING CIGARETTES IS NOW SECTIONED OFF BY A SIMPLE ROPE, BY RESIDENTS WHO ARE SICK OF WOMEN POSING & SCREAMING ON THEIR STOOP. (TO THEIR CREDIT, THEY HAVE POSTED A SIGN THAT SAYS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A PHOTO HERE, PLS LEAVE A FEW DOLLARS FOR A LOCAL CHARITY).

SO, IN MY QUEST TO DECORATE MY NYC DIGS, I TURNED TO OUR FAVOURITE NEW YORKER'S APARTMENT FOR INSPIRATION... BELOW ARE PICS OF CARRIES APARTMENT, PRE BIG, POST BIG & THEN LIVING WITH BIG. WE ALL MAKE CHANGES IN OUR LIVES WHEN AN RELATIONSHIP ENDS/BEGINS (I USUALLY CHANGE MY HAIR!), I THINK THE PROGRESSION IN CARRIES INTERIORS REALLY REPRESENTS THIS, AND WHILE I DREAM OF LIVING H=IN HER & BIGS APARTMENT, I THINK MY FAVOURITE WILL ALWAYS BE HER SINGLE GIRL APARTMENT.

I WILL MAKE FURTHER POSTS ON INTERIORS THAT ARE INSPIRING ME, BUT WOULD LOVE YOUR COMMENTS ON CARRIES APARTMENT & WHICH INTERIOR YOU LIKE BEST & WHY? COMMET [HERE]
