We have a lot of snow today thanks to another storm that made its way through yesterday. There already was a nice layering but today it’s the sort of dense, fluffy white landscape I remember from my childhood. Those years actually did see more snow fall though in general. Growing up I heard stories aboutContinue reading “Snowy Weather”

Carlos Benaim
My Raybans came in the mail from Saks today too. It really was a great sale. But anyway, I’m eating my last words. While I still don’t think I’ll buy another whole big bottle of Malle I have changed my mind. As the night went on my opinion developed a bit more. And now I’mContinue reading “Carlos Benaim”
Frederic Malle
I own the large size bottle of Lipstick Rose. I had the privilege of trying it over time while we lived in Seattle and I finally bought a whole bottle this year in the spring. I love the way it truly is reminiscent of vintage lipstick. I have fond memories from childhood of smelling myContinue reading “Frederic Malle”
Zales
Today I was perusing the internet and I ran across an add for Zales’ new Marilyn Monroe collection. As the name obviously suggests it’s a line of diamond pieces that are inspired by the iconic blonde beauty Marilyn Monroe. They’re lovely! Many of the rings are much more Art Deco than I’d have expected. TheContinue reading “Zales”
Pinky Pink Pink
The other night my husband and I had a long talk by the fireplace after the kids went to sleep. It was lovely at moments and exhausting at others. Our talks often are that way. *smile* But I walked away excited by the fact that my husband has decided to forgo making me the ringContinue reading “Pinky Pink Pink”
Lies
When I was in college I had a roommate who came from an upper-middle class background but she grew up in an upper class community so when she was little she pretended to be wealthy. Of course, since her family had a very nice and spacious home with a decent yard, nice cars and excellentContinue reading “Lies”
Perfume
Why do you wear perfume? And I ask that because I know many perfume lovers are reading this. Of course, there are other readers who may or may not even wear any fragrance at all. And actually, their answer would be intriguing too… I wear perfume to smell lovely as we all do, but IContinue reading “Perfume”
Rorschach
I had a realization today that my posts and words over the years have been like a Rorschach Test for my readers. I wonder if some in person interactions have been that too on occasion. Honestly, this blog has always been to practice my writing as I plan to publish a novel someday (I’ve beenContinue reading “Rorschach”
Quack Quack
So, as I write this it’s 4:42 AM and I’m wide awake. I still have children young enough to wake me up in the night and need food. I woke up to feed them and now I’m stuck awake. Usually I can go back to sleep but on occasion I cannot. Perhaps tonight I’m tooContinue reading “Quack Quack”
Coats
I’ve loved Burberry for years. And recently I decided to buy one of their classic trenches after realizing that my trench is too outdated and worn. But the problem is that after doing a little research (on the advice of friends) I found out that they’ve moved a lot of their factories out of theContinue reading “Coats”
