My Sister, the Star

My sister’s boyfriend is moving to L.A. in search of a job as a music producer. In order to prove he has the technical knowledge to get hired, he made the below video. My sister seems to have a leading role in his video – doesn’t she look darling? I am kinda obsessed with this [...]

In living color

Several readers expressed concern about my new Cole Haan riding boots. Perhaps they weren’t photogenic? So, to allay your troubled minds – here they are in all their glory. I think they’re adorable…thoughts?

The shoe Gods were smiling yesterday

Like most women, I love shoes. In fact, I’ve devoted many posts to my love of heels. However, my feet seemed to be conspiring against me when a year ago they randomly grew a half size.  Not only did I no longer fit into about 1/2 the pairs of shoes in my closet (believe me, [...]

Concerning? I think so!

Occasionally I check my WordPress Blog Stats to see which search terms lead people to my blog. What I discovered today was concerning to say the least.

Lenten Promises

It’s that time of the year again – Ash Wednesday is once again upon us. With Ash Wednesday comes Lent – and that means I have to give up something fabulous that is very near and dear to my heart. Last year I gave up soda – and believe me, it was quite difficult – [...]

My Funny Valentine

I called it – I’m that good

Yes, I know the Sex and the City: The Movie 2 trailer has been out for awhile. And yes, I am very excited to go see it in the theater the day it opens (May 28, 2010 in case anyone’s wondering). But there’s just one thing I forgot to say about the SATC2 trailer – [...]

Memories of Gaga

Lady Gaga has quickly become one of my favorite artists – she’s intelligent, can actually sing and her songs have a way of putting me in a fantastic mood, no matter what. As you can imagine, I went to the Monster Ball Tour in San Francisco in early December. As expected Lady Gaga did not [...]

WIT & Whimsy re-post

I shared my new lotion obsession with WIT & Whimsy readers today, but I had to share the wealth over here. I have been using Archipelago’s Brown Sugar & Vanilla lotion for about two months and I am in love.  My super-dry skin is resistant to most lotions – especially during the colder months – [...]

It’s almost over, but not just yet…

2009 has been a great year – we experienced weddings and engagements with great friends, Will and I went on many weekend getaways and we even celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Rather than bore you with a long list of highlights – especially since most have already been captured here – I compiled some photos [...]
