In the Fall of last year, I purchased two Mongolian Fur pillows for our game room (seen above). *our game room has changed a bit since then And now, just over a year later this is what they look like. Sad. Mangled. Miserable. Angry even. Granted, they are not best quality of Mongolian pillows nor …

* Jigsaw London just sent me this fabulously slouchy sequined dress in a warm taupey-brown-champagne color to wear to my cousin’s rehearsal dinner, which of course, I didn’t attend. But now it’s a major Thanksgiving outfit contender! I love how versatile it is. It comes as you see it in the first photo, I added …

Though I’m not having such a happy day. I’ve been so sick that yesterday I couldn’t get out of bed without whimpering like a puppy, my body and skin ached so badly. My throat is still so sore that I can’t swallow and basically my life is miserable at the moment. I hated leaving you …

What I’m Wearing* Vintage coral red leather coat : Leathers by New England. I think it’s 60’s but it could be 70’s and came with a matching leather tie belt. I found this coat about 15 years ago at a thrift store for about $15 and it’s one of my favorite pieces of vintage. It’s …
Houndstooth is by no means a new textile, however, it has hit the fashion trend radar once again and seems to be popping up in every magazine I open as of late.
