Monday morning I woke up and was perusing my Twitter feed when I saw this.
I read and re-read that four or five times before I could comprehend she was talking about MY blog. And then I freaked the FRIG out. Why? Only because I have worshiped Ali Wentworth for years. Her writing has cracked me up beyond words, her every TV appearance has left me in stitches and her homes have graced the pages of Elle Decor and Arch Digest. I mean, if I went to Hogwarts (I wish) and was to conjure my Patronus it would be in the shape of Ali Wentworth. So this tweet from her pretty much rocked my world and then some. So in “I’m Not Worthy” honor here are some of my fave spaces from Ali’s homes in NY (decorated by THE Michael Smith) and D.C. (decorated by Elizabeth Martin).
(Leopard DVF dress? Soul mate much?)
And then later in the day the new issue of Matchbook Magazine came out featuring a story about Two Penny Blue! (P.S. How awesome are our shipping boxes, if I do say so myself??)
Not a bad way to start the week, huh?
Love, love, love AW! I could see you becoming great pals and have the same sense of humor! xx, Kate
I’m obsessed too! Does that garner the same reaction :) ! That is too cool, how exciting. I like Ali too! So funny. Ali, if you are reading how about giving Erin some kinda exclusive?
AW is everygal’s gal.. her ELLE DECOR feature has been a longtime favorite of mine. By the way, I read your Blog everyday..actually..my first read of the morning, how’s that missy!!
I love you both! Have you read Ali in Wonderland? It is SO funny. I literally read it in one sitting! Can’t wait to read your article in Matchbook. The boxes are great!
make that two, i also am obsessed with your blog and all your elements of style.
it is thursday but you rock every day on my calendar.

you pretty much rock, forget monday. you do
Like Ali, your site’s name appears in my browser as soon as I start typing “e l …”. That bright lilac rug in her living room is amazing. I think I saw on Oprah or some show, that she hand painted those lilac designs on there herself. I could be wrong. Either way, still an amazing rug. Congrats on the success of Two Penny Blue! I’m saving up for my new fall blazer. I can’t decide what color yet.
That is so wonderful for you, congratulations! :)
Not a bad way, indeed! Ali is hysterical–she has me in stitches every time…..I also can’t wait to try one (or two) of Two Penny Blue’s blazers. They all look so amazing.
Neato! What a nice compliment from her to you, and what a nice feature about Two Penny Blue. I like that you fund school uniforms. Pretty cool!
