{Wafles & Dinges} |

New Yorkers are always looking for that next thing and in turn Gotham never fails to deliver. I wrote last year about how I was obsessing over the Van Leeuwan truck and oh I still get very excited when I spot it – but a girl of course can have more than one obsession – right now for me its …. alas the Wafles and Dinges mobile. I can spot that bright canary yellow truck out of the corner of my eye and O-M-G, the waffles are perfectly crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. If only they could find a way to sell Belgium frites from the truck … That would be just too perfect!

Now that I went ahead and secured a small space (and small is a huge understatement here) I’m going ahead and mapping out the first of three inspiration boards. Given the square footage, it will probably be best to be as minimalistic as possible – though I do plan to pay hommage to my Bomehian style. The most important things is – though minute, the space needs to be multi-functioning. A windowed wall will be framed with this gorgoeus Woods wallpaper that I absolutely adore – a ruffled curtain in ivory would add just the right softening touch. An adjacent wall will be painted in a dramatic dark navy paint and will also serve as the backdrop of the multi-functioning grey toned Sloane bookcase. The bookcase is a smart choice as I can use it for display items and also as a guest desk. The yellow parsons table which I just L-O-V-E adds a really big punch and will be the focal point of the room. I decided on two richly designed Terai folding chairs to complement the Parsons’s table – the best part is that I can fold and stow them away when not in use. The floor will be draped in a shag rug that is modern yet quite homey. Accessories items will include a silver hammered desk lamp, a metal antique phone, and possibly a cork board for messages. Hmmm, the build out cost for this room is about $2294.00. I believe with some D-I-Y and a little more research the same look can be achieved for 1/3 of the cost. I think these elements work quite well together and it already feels like Petite-Fete’s new home.
- {He’s So Into You} |

I had a great Valentine’s weekend. It turns out that most of my friends enjoyed V-Day too. Some enjoyed a family friendly Valentine’s Day and some did it up with their boyfriends/hubbies. Congratulations to my friend Janel- he PUT A RING ON IT! Bigger than that even is – some of my Single Lady Friends followed my suggestion and SHARED REAL LOVE with their girls. And then there was Talia*.
Unfortunately I knew (before she knew) that she would have a glum V-Day. Reason being…her “boyfriend” is just not that into her. All of the signs are there. Talia sometimes calls me to share her relationship frustrations, but I’ve learned throughout the years that women are not always receptive to hearing the truth about their dysfunctional relationships. Since Talia is an avid Little Holiday reader, on this Single Ladies’ Friday I will use this opportunity to impart some dating guidance. But, rather than giving Talia a list a reasons why I feel her “boyfriend“ is just not that into her, I am going to share with her 5 subtle signs of a man’s genuine interest. Here goes – HE IS SO INTO YOU if:
He calls when he says he will- You know how girls call a guy when they’re just thinking about him and just want to say “hi”; well guys do it too — when they are diggin’ a chick. If he has it really bad, he calls more than one time per day and definitely when he says he will.
He watches Brokeback Mountain – He won’t just watch a movie about homosexual love- if it means spending time with you – he will watch and discuss. A true sign that a man is wantin’ you is if he will share your interest and try something outside of his comfort zone just to experience it with you.
You hang with the Boys – Now, we all know that a guy’s time with his Boys is cherished time, especially on football Sundays. Well if he invites you to come along with him on the “reserved all Boys time” you are In – hands down he is feelin’ you.
PDA – if he shows it, he knows it…he is lovin’ you – start your window shopping. Remember the 4c’s – Clarity, Color, Cut, and Caratssss!!
He says it – this is a simple one. Sometimes a man will just say: “I’m diggin’, feelin’, caring, wantin’, lustin’, likin’, lovin’ you” He just put it out there- HE IS SO INTO YOU!
Talia, I hope you accept this open letter with love from me to you. For all of the other Single Lady readers, I wish you find a guy that does most of the things on this list. If you are dating someone who has not done one of the above, just keeps it movin’, and do it on this Single Ladies Friday!

We are packing our bags and we are out! Ok, not that far … same web address, same email, same phone, just new surroundings. Petite-Fete is moving its office from the back of my living room (yeah!) to a new office/studio on Austin Street – 71-21 Austin Street, Suite 201 in Forest Hills that is. As of the first of April we will be ready for visitors, drop-ins, etc. The studio will be undergoing some minor renovations in the meantime to make the space welcoming just for you. I promise to keep you all posted during all these changes.
