The phrase, “life through rose-tinted glasses,” often draws cynical, dismissive snorts from the sarcastic realists of the world, but I just think of that phrase in a different way, I suppose. Life, in general, is a challenge for all of us, and downright harrrrrd at times. Being able to view this challenging – sometimes brutally so –
Woot!! Welcome to my brand-new website!! She’s small and simple, but that’s exactly why she suits me perfectly.:) Got a brand-new blazer, in a brand-new blue hue, to celebrate. Good ol’ J.Crew just does a casual-cool blazer that not many others can. So, I shopped some of my JC faves, just for you. Tee: J.Crew | Blazer:
We spent an absolutely perfect, rainy weekend in Portland to celebrate my birthday this past weekend – I love that city!! We went to museums, cafed, and donuted our little hearts out, and did loads and loads of excellent window shopping, and red-trolley spotting (red was the special color). We took a few snaps, while
I love a good tee, don’t you? And when one has “teacher” written all over it (literally, in pencils), ummm, I have to have. I paired this baby with my new, favorite, denim pencil-skirt, of course, cuz I wanted to go 100% pencil theme. (Not really – it just happened, but I love that it looks
Winter could use a splash o’ color, right about now, no? I say, oui. I’m usually the queen of color, but lately, I’ve been gravitating to more neutral, muted tones and hues (still am), so this neon orchid number, which was once a no-big-deal color choice for me, kinda suddenly is? So weird! So wearing
Yesterday was a pretty full one on all levels – a good, happy, busy full. And then I learned my Grammy had passed away. She had lived a long, full life, but this past year had been a particularly challenging, and painful one for her. So, although we’re sad, we’re also relieved to know she’s
Got a full, squnched day ahead, so gotta keep this simple. Like my outfit, but with fun, textured details. You’ve already met my fringies (told ya, you’d be seeing them a lot), but I added a new crochet gal to my closet. She is sadly all sold out at Zara, but I shopped some neat
Today is my fourth, and very last, baby’s 4th birthday! It’s already off to a great start. He climbed into bed early this morning to snuggle with me (his favorite thing, but my favoritest), and we both “went to the beach.” That’s his other, latest, favorite thing. We “pack” all the things we need –
Just your basic, unbasic basics, today. Sweatshirt, jeans, neutral bag, and a jacket. Oh, but the jacket. I have no idea why I put off buying a true moto jacket for so long?? I think it was because e-he-verybody has one, and has had one for forever, so they didn’t seem that special…. but there
First off, say hello to my new, perfect, wear-with-everything (trust me, it’s already happening), Mari Lassa fringe bag!! I love her. You’ll be seeing this gal a lotttt this winter, spring, summer, and fall. I’m addicted, can’t help it. In other news, eyelet you in on a little secret (sorry, couldn’t help that, either)….. Nothing says spring
