For the record, I love my house. However, the architects definitely did not have a fashion-obsessed resident in mind. I mean, how am I supposed to fit all of my clothes, shoes, and purses into a shared closet that's the size of a. . .
closet? Right now, my stuff is dispersed among 3 closets and a mega-wide dresser. Not sure what I'll do when Ruby's wardrobe expands beyond onesies and teensie pants. . .
The lucky new tenants at
Cortona at Forest Park will not have this problem. I attended a Happy Hour event to preview their living spaces and could easily see myself lounging by the pool or taking a class in the top-notch fitness center. The lobby resembled an upscale lounge, complete with pool table, shuffleboard game, and
beer on-tap. Chefs will be whipping up a storm in each unit's gourmet kitchen. But, my favorite part of the tour was dreaming about how I could make use of the enormous closets. I could actually organize my clothes
and have a shoe rack in one place. Hmmm. . . I'm not planning to move anytime soon, but a girl can dream, right? Here are some pics:

Cortona at Forest Park is hosting their Grand Opening at the annual
ALIVE Magazine Hot List Party on 5/31/14. The party is going to be a
blast with food tastings (yum) and creatively-flavored drinks from
Pinnacle Vodka. (Have you ever tried cookie dough-flavored vodka? I know.) I'm super-excited because two of my personal faves,
Retro 101 and
Rung Boutique made the list as some of St. Louis' hottest shopping destinations. Another cool store that I
reviewed last year,
Artemis Shop, also received a nod! See the full list of winners
right here. I was selected as a Hot List Blogger Host and will be giving away 2 general admission tickets to the party on
Facebook. Hope to see you local stylistas there! :)
