Hello Boudreau

Zanna Roberts Rassi is currently the Senior Fashion Editor at Marie Claire magazine. She is an award winning journalist, fashion/beauty stylist and TV host. She was born in England and worked at the British Marie Claire as a editor for 6 years. Zanna finally decided to make her big move across the pond after landing her senior editor job at Marie Claire in the United States. Zanna lives in New York City with her husband.
Her role at work includes styling the celebrity covers for the magazine and writing fashion stories. Zanna is also responsible for Marie Claire charity portfolios. She edits the clothes from the runway and brings them to life on the pages of Marie Claire. She also has a weekly segment on The Rachel Ray show called 'Zanna's Style School'. Also, she regularly contributes to The View, The Today Show and Entertainment Tonight's 'The Insider'. So keep an eye out!
There is something about her that I just love. In all of her TV shows and guest appearances she just seems so down to earth and chill about fashion. Certainly some of the big wigs in the industry appear intimidating and cold, but not Zanna. She gives off a warm, approachable and friendly vibe and that's probably why I'm such a huge fan. 
Well... that and because i'm obsessed with her style. She's got the tomboy chic look going on, and as we all know, I could use a few more tomboy chic fashion icons to back up my cause.

What a week! New full time job, weekend traveling & lots of new adjustments to be made! Getting used to an entirely different schedule/ lifestyle has been exciting and new! I needed it. I'm feeling so fortunate to be a part of the working world.

This past weekend was a road trip to Orlando. My boyfriend's grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! It was so sweet & a beautiful reminder of true love!

I've been laying low and enjoying time with friends and family before I start my new job tomorrow! I couldn't be more thrilled! Up until this cold front blew in I've been spending a lot of time outside in the beautiful FL sunshine [including a picnic by myself]:

 People love being outdoors. Do you know how much a property's value goes up just because it has a patio or outdoor room? LOTS. People want that outdoor space whether you have a huge back yard to work with or a 6' by 6' concrete slab attached to your NYC apartment.

Do you have a special outdoor place at your home?

I hope everyone has a fabulous, fun, non-serious and light hearted Valentine's Day!

Time for the next weird obsession of mine. I am, for whatever reason, obsessed with matching twin headboards. I think it's the most perfect pair. In guest rooms, kid's rooms, spare rooms...any room...I love it.
Wanna know how obsessed I am?
I BOUGHT MATCHING TWIN UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARDS
WITH NO ROOM TO PUT THEM IN. yah, help.
First look at these pretty pictures that reinforce my obsession:

See? SEE?! Precious.
Which ones are your favorite??


Now onto my problem. I have the cutest upholstered headboards in the world with no extra bedroom to put them in so i'm forcing myself to sell them.
I put the twins up on Craigslist if anyone is interested click here to take a look.
I'm price flexible to email me with offers!

While thrifting a few months ago in a huge warehouse I found these poor abandoned giant letters just waiting to be loved. They were $2.00 a piece & of course I bought them. They didn't spell anything that made sense but my close friends name's start with these letters! I figured I'd think of someway to use them and now I have: Valentine's gifts for friends.
