A couple of years ago, my sister picked up some fabulous fabric for me at a thrift store. She knew that I would love it. There was a decent amount of it, so I knew I could make a dress out of it. It’s bright, bold & full of polyester goodness. Definitely not a summertime … More My Sister Knows Me So Well
I really do. I don’t like uninterrupted rain for weeks on end, but I do love rain. I’ve lived in tropical countries where the thunderstorms are in intense, fast & sometimes scary. I lived in London where it was sometimes drizzily & would last all day. I lived for a time in Tacoma, Washington – again … More I Like Rain
But I’m very happy to be here. I need to find a DeLorean powered by garbage to take a ride in. The 50s were such a great time for glamour, music, clothes, hairstyles. I so wish I had my Mom’s clothes & amazing beehives. Top: Walmart Skirt: Source of Wisdom Leggings: Fred Meyer Shoes: Blowfish – … More I Woke Up in the Wrong Decade
Bright sun, not too hot, not too cold, gentle breeze. All these things meant we just had to go to the park. Jude rode his scooter part of the way, but mostly it was me pulling the wagon with both boys in it. Let me tell you, 70+ pounds of boy is a lot to … More Perfect Park Day
So I’m still on a bit of an organisational high. It helps having a tidyish house (as tidy as possible with two creative young boys running around). Anyway, my creative juices are kicking in & my administrative tendencies are on high alert. All that to say that I am back in the saddle in regards to … More Challenges, Bucket Lists & The Clothes in My Mind
Together? It’s amazing what a big difference a bit of planning & organisation will do for me. I’m pretty good about taking some time on Sundays to plan & prepare for the week ahead. However, the last few weeks I’ve gotten a bit slack, leaving meal & grocery planning until Monday morning before heading out … More Can You Really Have It All…
I love these jeans. I always feel very 50’sish when I wear them. Plus they rate very high on the comfort scale. They have a big cuff. When I was loading the dishwasher after lunch today, I dropped a plate with some cutlery on it & picked the stuff up off the floor & went … More It's Dangerous Loading the Dishwasher
A truly lovely day so far. It was kind of weird not having an outfit plan today – it was EBEW Florals on Tuesday, Paper Doll Project yesterday. Today, it was whatever I happened to find in my closet. I was excited for a casual day & I love this outfit. It transitioned well for a … More I'm Walking on Sunshine
I’m so excited that I am participating in the second Paper Doll Project sponsored by Miss Vinyl Ahoy. She matches up style bloggers who then get to wander virtually through each other’s wardrobes & style an outfit for one another. Each blogger suggests one item that they would like their outfit styled around & the … More The Paper Doll Project
That’s a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson & I think it’s lovely. Today is Florals day at Every Body, Every Wear. I had an outfit planned, but when I tried it on, it just wasn’t happening. Then I spotted this dress in my closet so I put it on. I tried to make it super … More Earth Laughs In Flowers
