Good morning, loves! And happy Friday to you all!<br />
<br />
We've been experiencing quite the winter spell here in NYC with frigid temperatures the past few days. It's been quite the shock since we've been spoiled with fairly mild winters as of late.<br />
<br />
So what's a girl to do? Plan a weekend indoors to work on the many home projects on the agenda.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Hello loves! It's been way too long. First off Happy New Year! Secondly, I have to apologize for my absence the past 2 months. It's been a long road with a lot of soul searching but things are looking up here. My family is doing much better. Thank you all for your sweet comments and messages. Hearing from you really helped lift my spirits through those dark days.<br />
<br />
The whole storm and devastation that came with it really rocked my world pretty hard and I ended up making a lot of changes in the past few months. Obviously, I've stepped away from blogging for the time being to focus on some other areas of my life. I'm taking better care of myself and also taking on a long awaited redecorating project in my home. I'm basically redoing my whole apartment. It's amazing how much time all of these things are taking. And I'm also planning on getting back to illustrating and taking some photography classes. Things that I've been talking about for years and years but haven't had the time to do. All of those unrealized dreams started weighing on me and I decided that I needed to make some major changes and really take them on in full force.<br />
<br />
So what does all of this mean for <a href="http://thealternativebride.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Alternative Wife</a>? I honestly don't have a firm answer. I'd love to get back to my normal blogging schedule. It definitely has been a major void in my life and I miss you all tremendously. But for the time being until I can really make some progress in these other areas of my life I think that I'll be popping by intermittently. Ideally that will be more often than not. And hopefully I'll be able to share some of the projects that I'm taking on with you all. In the meantime you can always find me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/altdawn/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, <a href="http://followgram.me/altdawn" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/altdawn" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.<br />
<br />
Hope you are all doing well and I will definitely be stopping by in the near future to catch up.<br />
<br />
Love to you all!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

<br />
Hello loves. Thank you for all of your good wishes and kind words this past week. As you have probably heard Hurricane Sandy caused a tremendous damage here and really disrupted everything. The neighborhood where J & I live got hit very hard and were temporarily homeless with no electricity, heat, water, phones or means of communication.<br />
<br />
We evacuated our apartment on Wednesday, a few days after the storm, and stayed at different places each night. All of the hotels rooms were sold out and there is a major gas shortage here and we only had 1/4 tank of gas so we couldn't get very far. It was the most terrifying and stressful experience ever.<br />
<br />
But compared to the destruction it's caused to other people I'm one of the lucky ones. At least I had a home to come back to. My family, on the other hand, has been completely devastated. I have so many family members who have lost their homes and all of their belongings. They have taken a major hit and I don't know how long it will take them to recover. My father, my aunt, cousins who all have small babies and sister have all suffered tremendous loss. It's really incomprehensible and I can't really wrap my brain around it all. So many people are still struggling and the temperatures have dropped and we also have another major storm heading our way this Wednesday through Thursday. I pray it doesn't bring more damage but I can't imagine that it won't given the current disaster.<br />
<br />
Thank you again to all who have reached out to check in. It really means so much to me. I apologize for not getting back immediately. Communication was very difficult but it means the world to me. Times like these really teach you a lesson. To never take anything for granted and to treasure everything you have in your life. <br />
<br />
Hope you are all doing well and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things but it might take a while to get back to normal. My family is my first priority and connectivity is still iffy here so it's been a little tough.<br />
<br />
Love to you all!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! Hope you all had a nice weekend.<br />
<br />
Not sure if you've heard but we're braving through a hurricane here in NYC. It's supposed to last for a few days so for now I'm hunkering down and staying indoors until it's safe to venture outside. Hoping that we don't loose power but we've already lost hot water and the storm is supposed to be the worst we've ever seen here so I'm not feeling too hopeful about that.<br />
<br />
Hope to get by to see you all soon! Enjoy the start of the week, sweets!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, lovelies! And happy Friday to you! What do you all have planned for the weekend?<br />
<br />
Me? Not too much. A little family time on Saturday afternoon but otherwise I'm planning on hunkering down at home and getting some rest.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!<br /><br />

Happy Thursday, lovelies! Hope the week is treating you well.<br />
<br />
We're in the middle of a stretch of cloudy cool days here in NYC and it's not quite heavy jacket weather so I've been pulling out all of my knitwear lately and layering it up. Lots of sweaters, pullovers, knit jackets, knit socks. You name it. If they make it in a knit, I probably own it. Leaving the hats and gloves home for now but I'm sure it won't be too long before I'll need them. Oh and the best part of my days is when I'm cuddled up nice and snug under my cozy knit blanket. Could I love fall any more? :)<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets and happy almost Friday!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Hi my loves! And happy Wednesday to you all.<br />
<br />
Today I'm looking to the past and the romantic nostalgia that comes with it. I love using vintage pieces from both my family as well as Js. Whether it be jewelry, coats, hats, clutches or china, silver and gold rimmed glassware. It all takes me back and reminds me of a simpler time and of loved ones lost. And I cherish each and every piece.<br />
<br />
My parents recently told me that they have some vintage costume jewelry and a beautiful Japanese tea set from my grandmother that they'd like to pass onto me & my sister. And I couldn't be more touched to be given the opportunity to own some more of her things. She was such a wonderful woman, I can't really describe in words how incredible she was, and she had such exquisite taste and I'm truly grateful to be given the opportunity to own any bit of her. <br />
<br />
How about you all? Do you all have things passed on from loved ones? If so, what's your most treasured item?<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets! :)<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Ok, so besides the fact that I am totally over those books, you know which books I'm talking about, right? Christian, Anastasia, Mr. Grey, Fifty Shades this, Fifty Shades that...<br />
<br />
No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't really get into them. I read the first book which was alright I guess. Then I accidentally started reading the 3rd book but didn't realize that I was reading out of order until 1/3 of the way into the 3rd book. Then back to the 2nd and never really finished it. Bored, confused, whatever you may call it.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I honestly blame iBooks for the mess up. On my bookshelf all nice and pretty stood book #1 in the first position. Then book #3 was next on the shelf followed by book #2 which was marked as NEW. See why I was confused? Wouldn't you think the book in the 3rd position marked as NEW was the last book? Please agree with me. I'm trying to make myself feel better here. :)</div>
<br />
In any case, putting all that confusion aside, I honestly found the whole series and premise of the books kinda boring. And I'm not really sure what that says about me...I choose not to dig too deep there....<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
But onto what I was saying. Besides the fact that I am totally over that book, I am loving all shades of grey these days. I've been <a href="http://pinterest.com/altdawn/" target="_blank">pinning</a> up a storm. I can't get enough of it. Check out my <a href="http://pinterest.com/altdawn/grey-matters/" target="_blank">Grey Matters Pinterest board</a> to see for yourselves.<br />
<br />
How bout you guys? Are you a fan of grey? The books or otherwise?<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets and I'll see you all tomorrow :)<br />

Good morning, loves! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you're all happy and rearing to go this Monday morning. <br />
<br />
I had a wonderful fall weekend in the city. Lots of work and play like I mentioned on Friday and I got to catch up on some much needed sleep. Saturday we got a lot of chores accomplished and then took our first trip ever on across the river to Hoboken for a party. It's pretty incredible that it was our first time there and we've lived in NYC for 22 years. Crazy but true. <br />
<br />
And Sunday started out with a run to get bagels and coffee followed by a walk to the green market. Stopped home and did a bit of cooking for the week. Then we headed on out to see Nice Work if You Can Get It on Broadway with Matthew Broderick. It was such a great show. I highly recommend it if you're interested in seeing a Broadway play. <br />
<br />
It was a fabulous weekend overall and now here we are at Monday morning already. Wish I could just stay in bed a few more hours, make a nice breakfast and lounge around a bit. You know, just slowly ease into the week but work calls so off I go :)<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Monday, sweets and I'll see you all soon!<br /><br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! And happy Friday to you all! The weekend is finally here and I couldn't be happier. <br />
<br />
I have a busy weekend on tap. A party on Saturday and a play on Sunday and in between it all I have to get some much needed housework in. I'd also like to sleep in both days if possible. Like I <a href="http://thealternativebride.blogspot.com/2012/10/beauty-sleep.html" target="_blank">mentioned earlier this week</a>, I haven't been having much luck in the sleep department as of late so I'd like to try to get as much of it as I can this weekend. All in all a busy weekend but I'm planning on enjoying each and every moment of it. Even the housework :)<br />
<br />
What do you all have planned this weekend? Whatever your plans, I hope it's a great one!<br />
See you all Monday! <br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! And happy mid-week to you all. Hope you're having a lovely week so far.<br />
<br />
Today I'm dreaming of sleep. And lots of it. For some reason I haven't been getting quite enough of it lately. And when I do finally get to bed I'm not getting a solid night's sleep. Not sure what it is...a lot on my mind? the change of weather? Whatever it is, I'm hoping to nip this problem in the bud and get back to normalcy ASAP. And it doesn't help that my summer tan is fading because the bags under my eyes are quite noticeable. Yikes!<br />
<br />
Thinking of trying a few new things. Reading, spritzing the bed with lavender pillow mist, a sleeping mask...Any other suggestions for me?<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets and hope you all get a restful night's sleep :)<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! And happy Tuesday to you.<br />
<br />
As all of you probably already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And this is a topic that hits very close to home for me. My best friend lost her fight with breast cancer 3 1/2 years ago and watching a 37 year old woman fight and ultimately succumb to this disease and leave behind a 6 year old daughter is something that one can't really describe in words. All I can say is that it will forever change a person and I now have a personal mission to get the word out about what women can do about breast cancer.<br />
<br />
For me, now that I've hit the big 4-0, it means that I have to get mammograms {it hurt for a second but not so bad, but it was definitely worth the peace of mind}. But for all of you youngins out there, don't ignore your breasts. If you notice something's up, don't panic and assume the worst but don't ignore it either. Early detection can save lives. Check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shsBvHInv_I&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">this video</a> that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shsBvHInv_I&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">talks about symptoms</a> and what to do if you have <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shsBvHInv_I&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">any concerns</a>.<br />
<br />

I had an amazing weekend. J & I took a drive upstate to do some leaf peaking and although it's not quite peak foliage time, it was gorgeous nonetheless. We also went to a farm, where we did a little shopping and ate some delicious corn and apple cider donuts. Add a few romantic date nights thrown in there and this weekend was pretty much as good as it gets :)<br />
<br />
Now I'm feeling rested and content and ready to start the new week. So what did you all do this weekend? <br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Monday, sweets!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! And happy Friday to you all! So happy that the weekend is here.<br />
<br />
I'm finally feeling almost 100% healthy so I'm really looking forward to taking a bite out of Fall this weekend. We were at the beach every weekend in September and we were sick in bed last weekend so this will be our first official taste of the season. Planning on taking a fall foliage drive, pumpkin picking, farm stands, you know the deal. Oh and I'm also planning on making this oh so delicious sounding beverage, a <a href="http://intoxicology.net/?p=3802" target="_blank">cider jack coctail</a>. Can you say yum???<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a wonderful time this weekend. Any fun plans?<br />
<br />
Enjoy and I'll see you all Monday!<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, lovelies! Hope you're all having a splendid week.<br />
<br />
Wanted to share with you some pretty little things that have been catching my eye as of late. This time of year everything seems to get so dark and heavy and even a bit clunky but these soft delicate pieces are really speaking to me today. Soft feminine touches can really lighten up the long dark seasons ahead. I plan on incorporating them into my life as soon as possible. How bout you? <br />
<br />
Have a fabulous day sweets and I'll see you all tomorrow!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! Happy Tuesday. Hope the week is treating you well.<br />
<br />
So it seems like fall has decided to pay us a visit here in NYC. It was freezing yesterday. I actually had to pull out all of my layers, boots, tights and all for the first time this season. It was a total shock to the system. It could have to do with the fact that I was couped up under the blankets in my apartment for days and not accustomed to outdoor life. Or it could be that I'm still sick so I'm a bit sensitive to the cold. Or it could be the fact that it's just plain cold out. Can you say burrr? Oh well, at least fall is the best season to dress for, right? :)<br />
<br />
How about you guys? What's the weather like in your part of the world?<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Happy Monday, loves! And welcome to a brand new week! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.<br />
<br />
J & I were both sick and in bed all weekend long but we're slowly getting better. It's amazing what a rebirth you feel once you turn that corner and start making your way back to good health, isn't it? It was a bit of a blessing in disguise though because I was forced to finally take a break from all of the craziness and sit back and relax and take care of things in life.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful start to the week, sweets! <br />

Happy Friday, loves! I'm so happy that the weekend is finally here. And I'm extra excited because I'm going to be home all weekend. That's so what the doctor ordered these days.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to cuddling up at home and catching up on life. The weather is supposed to be wet and cold so I won't be tempted to leave my couch which is a-ok in my book :)<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful weekend, sweets. And I hope to be around sometime this weekend to finally say hi. I miss you all!<br />
<br />
See you Monday!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! And happy Thursday to you all. <br />
<br />
Today I'm craving a slow start to my day. I'm not saying that I'm wishing to stay in bed all day or anything like that. I'm heading to work of course. But things have been so hectic lately that a leisurely petit déjeuner sounds positively heavenly. I'm going to try to steal a few moments this morning and try to make that happen.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets and I hope you all get to steal a few moments for some leisure time.<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, loves! How's the week treating you so far? Mine's as busy and crazy as usual. Unfortunately this is becoming my norm lately. I was hoping to leave all of the craziness behind in Spetember but it seems to have followed me into October...<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough of my complaining. Let's go onto another color crush of mine. Besides burgundy or oxblood red I'm also really head over heels for true reds. The brighter and richer the better in my book. I can't get enough of my <a href="http://rstyle.me/h4ddfmkgpw" target="_blank">red jeans</a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/hwx44nkgpw" target="_blank">Love Quotes red scarf</a> and my favorite nail color, <a href="http://rstyle.me/hw3ay6kgpw" target="_blank">Essie's Lollipop</a>. I've been wearing them nonstop lately. And to tell you the truth, this color looks amazing with burgundy so I've been combining my two color crushes quite a bit this season.<br />
<br />
What color are you crushing over lately?<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, sweets!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

<br />
Good morning, loves! Hope you're having a wonderful start to the week. <br />
<br />
I'm getting reacclimated to city life and taking care of one household and I have to say that it feels really good. Fall is in the air and I'm so excited to be back in the city for the long haul. I say this now. Give me a month or so and I'm sure I'll be itching to do something else but for now the thought is utter bliss :)<br />
<br />
There's something so romantic about this time of year. The colder weather and layers just makes me want to light some candles, plop down on the couch and cuddle right on up under my throw for some serious snuggle time. Add a foot massage in there and I'm happy as a girl can be. I really couldn't ask for a better way to spend a day.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a fabulous and oh so cozy day!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Good morning, sweets! And welcome to a brand new week and month! Can't believe it's October already. September seems to have flown right by and now here we are.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had a good one. Had some Halloween fun on Saturday night and then we closed up the beach for the season. So I've officially said goodbye to summer and now I'm really ready to embrace fall with all of my heart and soul.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful start to the week, loves and I'll see you all soon :)<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Happy Friday, lovelies! And welcome to the weekend!<br />
<br />
I'm off to the beach house for one last weekend. I'm sad to say goodbye to the summer fun but it's nice to know that it'll all be there when we're ready to return in May. Looking forward to quiet days at the beach and good times with our island friends. And we even have some excitement planned. This Saturday night is our Fire Island Halloween party since most people leave the island before the actual holiday. If you're interested to see what I'm going to be you can check out <a href="http://followgram.me/altdawn/modal" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/altdawn" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for photos. :)<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful weekend, sweets and I'll see you all Monday!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />
