Happy Belated Valentine's Day/My Birthday!

I am very lucky to be able to say that my birthday is also Valentine's day! If you're going to be born on a holiday, Valentine's day is the one to chose: it's not overly serious or religious, (mostly) everyone is in a good mood, it's an entire day based on love and candy, two of my favorite things, and I will never be alone or unhappy on Valentine's day for the rest of my life (that's not something most people can say...) The cake I made this year was glorious, don't you agree?

2009 New York Fall Fashion Week

In the gray months of winter New York Fashion Week is one of the few things I look forward to, hoping it will provide me with some much needed life and inspiration. But, I am sad to say, that this year's lines were grave disappointments. Whether it was the recession, forcing some designers to show their lines in hotel's and store rooms, or the looming knowledge that this is the last year Fashion Week will be shown at the tents in Bryant Park, it seems fall 2009 will not be a great season for fashion.

Here are some selections from the lines I kind of, almost, liked:
