I don’t normally buy Guess shoes. In fact I haven’t purchased an item from Guess since my {1980’s infatuation with the label} aqua acid wash guess bag {which I hope I still have somewhere} and my ankle zipper jeans with the signature triangle on the back pocket. One Christmas {I must have been 11} I …
For the past couple of years there has been a rather large shift in fashion, a generation gap, if you will, which is reminiscent of generations past. When I see people on the streets, I can usually guess their age by what they are wearing and that interests me. I almost feel like my grandma …
Avery’s first trip to Disneyland {& her mama, my beautiful cousin Kell}
Snaps of the best ichats between my co-worker and I {in random order from random occasions}.
I am slowly but surely decorating our future house as I foresee our cash being depleted by buying the house and not being able to decorate it will drive me insane …SO, I splurged and bought the Eames House Bird a couple weeks ago and I cannot wait to get it. I got an email …
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I had our first “together” visit to the gynecologist to make sure we’re doing everything right as we embark on the next phase of our lives: baby making. {and a routine yearly check-up for me} Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable situation for Pep {though he met …
it almost looks like everyone is posing …and maybe we are… robots.
So a couple weeks ago I went to a local thrift shop that I used to frequent and found a RADICAL {and silly – but I like clothes with a sense of humor} light purple blazer that just so happen to have the original Nordstrom tag on it. It was priced at $34 and when …
It’s an unusually busy week for us! Last night we headed to The Derby to check out my uncle’s band Sitcom Neighbor and they were awesome! It’s so great to see my uncle wailing on the drums. We’re a very musical family. My grandpa and two uncles are drummers and my late grandma and her …
For the last couple of months {actually, much longer} I’ve been noticing a resurgence of Polaroid photos – artistic Polaroids. EVERYWHERE. And honestly, I like it. It ads a vintage feel to almost any subject matter and a depth that you don’t see as much in digital photography. But mostly {speaking from my past}, Polaroids …
We just started off our 4th by watching the 2008 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest over breakfast. mmmm. Last year I watched Joey Chestnut beat the six-year winning Takeru Kobayashi by eathing 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Kobayashi claimed he had an injured jaw and that is what lost it for him. I couldn’t …
Penthouse Pool I LOVE photographer Slim Aarons work. LOVE. Not sure if I made that clear but in case you didn’t get that, it’s love. The pools, the beaches, the houses, the 1960’s and 1970’s and 1980’s fabulousity …uh, it’s my dream life. I’m particularly fond of {feeling fabulous} entertaining at home and especially throwing …
…and to start off the festivities, I just polished off a tear’n share (um, king size) bag of peanut m&m’s. That’s right. It’s 9:33am. …and then I found these chairs …this bed …and this chaise How fab, right? I mean, the chaise looks like a water! Okay, actually , Couture Carrie left me a comment …
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but …
Circa: 2008 Circa: 1988 …yes, they are the same pair. Note* the title of this post is actually a line from the chorus of a Hyper Crush song called Discotech. One last one… because it’s all gritty and makes me laugh (also from 2008)
