It's A Small World After All


I grew up in the fourth largest city in the US, went to the college with the largest student population in the country and can still maintain the belief that the world is a tiny, tiny place. Recently I was introduced to a blog, In(side) The Loop by Courtney Barton, by a good friend of a best friend. I love her blog and am in awe of her resume which boasts the likes of Hollywould, Jill Stuart and Ralph Rucci. A visit to her blog and a quick perusing of her posts makes me feel worldy, arty and chic. But come to find out, we have so much more in common than blogging and our friend, Emily. We both are residents of The Heights, a lovely little inner loop community in Houston chock full of 100 year old craftsman bungalows, have a strong affinity for all things Anthropologie, a dire love for John Derian plates and a passion for anything demontrating great design. The duration of our friendship has not quite yet reached the 24 hour mark, but I think Courtney and her point of view is something worth sharing with all of you. So, I am pimping her blog to all those out there who love things that are awesome, because her blog surely is. It is so funny. We probably live blocks from each other, shop at the same grocery store, drink at the same local bar, scavage the same Target and I had to go all the way to NYC to hear of her. Crazyness!!!!!!

I can't wait to meet one day. I think we share more similarities than Anthro, John Derian, and Emily! You are hilarious and it's evident we both like to laugh!! I'm thinking a meet up at the Bingo Hall? You don't know what fun is until you've been!!

I just assumed you two were BFF's living in the same town and all :) I've been a fan of both of yours--and how fun that you only have just met.
