Furla Fabulous

Recently purchased while in Rome. Perfect for a laptop...just undo the snaps. Nice compact handbag with the snaps closed. Perfect hint of animal print.

Skinny Jeans

I did it...and I LOVE it. Wasn't sure if I could pull it off... or want to for that matter. Got a "starter" pair at the Gap for $40... on sale this weekend. Might consider a more "Substantial" pair {a la Elle MacPherson} ....she's rockin' it... Let's face it, for MANY reasons.

P.S.

YES PLEASE. Any of the following Irene Neuwirth pieces will do.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the lovely ladies....

Zebra Stools

I must be feeling "wild" but I have a hankering for 2 zebra print stools {to be placed under the console table in the living room...so chic}.

Rugged

So many "skins"...so little time...err... rooms.

Elin's Aviators

I am really loving Chanel's version of the aviator. Must find them.First spied them on Elin "Woods". Great taste in glasses... not so great taste in men. Poor dear.

Reese Studded Sandal

Love these... by J. Crew.

Marchesa Magic

Spring 2010 fabulousness.Frothy and fantastic... wearable oragami..."who woulda thunk"?!

Bright Bathroom

Wouldn't you love to have a bathroom this bright? Love the window. Love the sparkle in the tile.

Hi...It's Me Again

It's been a while... I'll chalk it up to blog-burn, boredom, blog burnout, or ... just a dire need of a break from the blogging world. {truth be told I need a new computer...this old clunker is driving me nuts... } Now... there is just so darned much to share I'll need to take a deep breath and plunge in.

Recently bought...

Now I want....

Bless J Crew for their affordable wares.

Hubby just walked in. Shocked to see me blogging. Must go spend some quality time together...it is Friday night after all. In the meantime go check out www.lonnymag.com. Oh how I'd like to work in a space JUST like Betsy Burnham... starts at page 101. Sigh.

PS: The Italians win for the BEST Olympic opening outfits. Americans run a close second with the preppy Ralph Lauren look. Dearest Dominika...I must apologize profusely...what the frack were the Czech thinking??? Last place for sure.

Hello Santa

I've been overwhelmed... what a hectic 2 weeks. 9 people I work with lost their job in a corporate restructuring. A tough pill to swallow just before the holidays. Been feeling pretty "blah" about the whole situation.

This weekend will be all about lists, if I don't create multiple "To Do's" I fear nothing will be done. One thing is certain, we'll put up Flynn's bedroom tree... the 3rd year running. Photos Monday.

PS: I am also having computer trouble. Groan.

Dramatic Dining

Sarah Richardson shows how "More is More"...and... that "Less is More" too. {I LOVE this room}. The black bordered drapes rock.

This one is just so darn pretty. The cherry blossom wall & the Tord Boontje fixture ... sweet.

Happy 4th Birthday

...to my adorable little man. xoxo

Here he is "snug as a bug" on his way home from the hospital {appearing to be swallowed up by the infant car seat}.
And ... here he is 4 years, 50 pounds, and several inches later. Cliche...but where does the time go?

Gold, Part II

Saturday's Globe & Mail Style section got me thinking about gold clothing. Ever since I saw this BGBG Fall 2009 look, I've been drawn to it. Now I am contemplating a version of it. Who knows... maybe I'll try it {dosen't the whole gold legging thing make you think of James Bond? ... kinda risque ... & GLAMOROUS!}.
