I bought this Gucci bag (with the real deal bamboo handle) in 1994 when I was a Copy Director for Elizabeth Arden. I was a 30-something full-time-commuting-working Mom of two with #3 on the way. I was proud of my ability to multi-task (hah!) and earn some serious cash but also quite often overwhelmed and exhausted and putting myself last.
Month: April 2017
I Heart Stripes & More
So this was a BIG weekend, Momwise, lifewise. And this was the post that almost wasn’t. A lot of intertwined stories. I’ll try to keep it short and to the point. And to the heart.
DIY: Pom Poms & Pedicures
‘Tis the season to get your tootsies out there. But first…a confession. This isn’t a complete DIY. Yes for Pom Pom sandals, kind of for pedicures.
Get Your Gingham On!
I will be the first to admit I thought this combo was, well, maybe just a bit too much. But…I love it! In case you’ve missed it, gingham is having a moment. As in you need some. Stat. I personally am a sucker for fabrics and patterns that remind me of my girlhood and my Mom’s awesome sewing prowess. We wanted a dress….she whipped it up. Even for our Barbies! Sadly, I lack her skills but think of her every time I put together something “smashing.”
She’s a Rainbow
This week my “day job” has been busier than expected so blog posting was put on the back burner. I’m so happy to be back! Even though you won’t see me in any of these colorful choices, my fashion heart and soul is all in.
Pops of Pink & Blue
Since it’s going to hit the 70s this week, I’ve made the executive decision to ignore any remnants of winter’s chill and break out the Spring style. I even got a pedicure in celebration of peep toe possibilities. Full disclosure: Chris was wearing a down jacket and hat while he snapped these pics. The things we do for fashion!
Last Look at Winter
Guess how we got fooled on April 1st? A foot of snow. Truth be told, it was looking pretty magical and probably our last such wintery landscape. By Sunday, the sun was shining and temps had gone up into the mid 40s. No gloves! So as much as I’m looking forward to sporting some new Spring fashion, I pulled out some warm weather gear one last time.
