Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius
{Daily horoscope for Wednesday, September 30, 2009}
(Libra, September 23 to October 23: You are ready to put your ambition aside to pursue your social goals. You are getting along well with others right now, and this is a harmony you should be in no hurry to end. Being with other people is very rewarding to you right now, and you truly value the people you're surrounded by. So the idea of getting to know them even better should be quite appealing.)
(Scorpio, October 24 to November 21: You are nothing if not a terrific planner. But have you been neglecting your social circle in all of your work planning? Your people might be feeling a little left out of your well-planned, excellently executed world. Maybe you should plan a dinner or two with your nearest and dearest -- just check in and make sure everybody is feeling connected. It's important, you know.)
(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: People who have a lot of power over your life are going to be all around you today, so it's time to look your best and act your best. Of course, they are going to like what they see, and it won't be hard to impress them -- but you can't get too cocky about it or take their approval for granted. Double check your work just in case, and make sure you've finished everything perfectly. Your relationships with these people are good, but why not make sure they get even better?

Daily Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo
{Daily horoscope for Tuesday, September 29, 2009}
(Cancer, June 24 to July 22: The rat race is getting especially rough right now, and not for the right reasons. If you're getting overwhelmed by the crowds, step out -- you won't miss out on any big opportunities, despite what others may say. Pressures are driving you out of a social situation too, and that is a strong indicator that time on your own will give your batteries the recharge they need. No one will question your motivation on any decisions you make, so put yourself first this time. Photograph Source, Oprisco on Deviant Art.)
(Leo, July 23 to August 23: Everywhere you go will be crowded and active today, so get ready for some sensory overload. To some extent, you'll get a rush from the crowds. But when you need a break, you'll really need a break -- so pay attention to your feelings as the day progresses. All the activity may challenge your ability to concentrate on a developing issue with a friend. Put off making your next move until things settle and you can get some quiet time to figure out exactly what you want. Photograph Source, jjuuhhaa on Deviant Art.)
(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: Everyone is taking their own journey through life, and that's liberating -- but it can also be isolating, because no one else can truly understand what you are experiencing. Take this fact to heart when those 'in the know' offer you unsolicited advice today. They have your best interest at heart, but in the end their thoughts are based on their own goals -- not yours. Stick to what you feel. This is no time to start navigating by someone else's maps -- you could get lost. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photograph Source, Oprisco on Deviant Art.

Today's Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini
{Horoscope for Monday, September 28, 2009}
(Aries, March 21 to April 20: A rude or insensitive person could cause you some complications this morning, but at the same time they will help give you a fresh perspective on your life -- they'll show you who you don't want to be! Take notes on their behavior. You are doing perfectly fine with your choices lately, so don't listen if this person criticizes you or gives you unsolicited advice. Smile sweetly, and then ignore them.)
(Taurus, April 21 to May 21: Be careful of other people who seem too good to be true today, because they probably are. Your instincts about people are usually dead on, so if you fear that someone who is making big claims is full of hot air, alert those in power about your reservations. There is nothing wrong with demanding proof before you buy into anyone's story. Your skepticism might make waves today, but in the end it will save everyone a lot of stress and regret. They'll thank you for it.)
(Gemini, May 22 to June 23: When you aim at your target today, switch off your emotions. Doubt, fear -- even confidence -- must get pushed aside or else you may miss your mark. Approach everything with an analytical eye and there will be no doubts you can't explain away. Nothing in life is 100 percent certain, but if you put your brain to work now, you can get things close enough. Passion isn't going to be as powerful as intellect, at least not for a while.

Glad to be Back
(Arrived home from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories very late on Friday. Was happily settling back into my routine when I caught a flu yesterday afternoon. Oh well, I guess that means a few days of bed rest. Have a great Sunday evening; can't wait to hear from you! Source, Erin Feterston's home via Moodboard.)

Favorite Color Combination - Automatism
{Hello — it's Lori of automatism, happy to contribute to Linda's wonderful color series! I'm particularly drawn to neutral backgrounds with an unexpected note of color, such as in the interior I've chosen here, a mostly white theme enlivened with a wonderful fresh deep pink (and some saffron yellow, too). So pretty.}

Tool to help you do your own drapery treatment.
There are many mysteries in life--one of them is the cost of drapery. Seriously, can you believe how expensive it is? It's unfathomable to us how much one piece of fabric and four stitched sides can be so costly. But costly they are.
Aside from having a professional drapery workroom come to your house, measure and make the drapes to order, there isn't that many alternatives really. Sure, you can buy pre-made panels from Restoration Hardware or Z-Gallerie, but they usually end up looking like crap. And why? Because they never seem to fit. Either they are too long or too short or too wide etc..
We found Casa Fiora a long time ago when we were looking for an alternative to having custom-made drapes for budget reasons. We find that if you are looking for just simple styles, they are pretty good. We are writing about them now is because they now have a great tool for you to measure the draperies that you need. This, we feel, is one of the most important things you need to do. If not measured incorrectly, you can get the totally wrong size and end up throwing money away.
You can get the tool here. Again, we emphasize that this is best if you are looking for simple draperies styles. Complicated styles are best done by a professional workroom.

Extended Weekend Signoff
(... another week full of activities has passed, with another having me traveling to Canada's Northwest Territories, and hoping to see this. As a result, I will not be blogging until next Friday at which time you can find another installment of the Favorite Color Combination series, featuring the lovely Lori from Automatism. Until my return, I encourage you to visit the archives of Simply Seductive or visit the blogs I feature on my side bar. Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead! Source, Elle Es July 09.)
ace hotel palm springs
: : .the ace hotel palm springs. I don't think I have to say more, these photos say it all. i NEED to go stay here. I've known of the ace hotel in Portland and Seattle, but never Palm Springs. I first saw it on the awesome .flashdance. blog which directed me to .sarah yates. amazing photography blog. aren't these amazing photos? and if it's true what she says;"did I mention they make alcohol infused sno cones and have a ridiculously fun bartender (Christian) who cruises around the pool making deliveries on a longboard?!?!"
then I really, really NEED to go to this place.
flash dance
: : this is some of the most beautiful wedding photography I've ever seen. I am currently obsessed with .flashdance. they are an ubercool group of friends "consisting of 2 couples, (Jess & Whit, Michael & Elizabeth) one little man, one little girl, three dogs and a lot of love!" who will photograph and dj at your wedding, are all around creative in general and participate in a lot of other fun events . pick up some music and photo inspiration on their blog. I heart .flashdance.
