It was New Year's Eve and we were pressing our way through a crowded hotel bar on the Lower East Side. The crowd wasn't so much drunk as teetering, Jimmy Choos and up-dos, every face an unflickering screen, all set to the same channel: a perfectly sculpted expression, conveying at once, "my life is more fabulous than yours" and, simultaneously, "I'm bored as fuck." An expression perfected through a lifetime spent valuing that which is unattainable, and never finding anything that is.We didn't quSpring Cleaning + Silver Sequins
Oh man! I think I just gave myself a hernia. Is that possible? I thought only men could get them but I'm definitely feeling a pinching feeling in the lower abdomen region from lifting so much today. Maybe I'm just ovulating. Because it's not actually that painful. Our cleaning lady {Alba} came today and after three weeks without her {due to the holidays} the house definitely needed a deep down scrubbin'.

I drive my S nuts with my constant re-arranging and re-decorating. Really, I do. But kiddos are constantly growing. Interests shift and needs change. So, in my humble opinion, a house must do the same. Wyatt was not the only one who needed some space of his own. Up until this year the older boys have shared everything except beds. However, they usually both end up in one or the other bed by morning. Until a few weeks ago they had to share one dresser, one small desk, one bulletin boaAvoid the Frump in SubZero Weather
Layering is essential, but it can lead to frumpiness, fast. It is possible to bundle without the frump, but it takes planning and quality fabrics. The recent cold snap here in Europe has everyone shivering as tempatures plunge to record lows. Dressing warm in subzero weather (in C, we’re not as bad ass as those of you in subzero F) is a bit of a challenge.

For quite some time I have been admiring this look of Nubby Twiglet of her white top with black bow around her neck, and trying to acheive this myself. But I couldn't find a black anything to tie around my neck. The closest thing I found was this little piece that must have belonged to a school uniform once.

Genuine vintage Czechoslovakian jewellery, produced from 1850-1950 (roughly) has a huge number of admirers and collectors worldwide. Nothing looks so good on a genuine vintage summer dress than a perfect Bohemian brooch or string of Czech crystal beads.About ten years ago, it was obvious what was genuinely vintage Czechoslovakian (more correctly called Bohemian), for it is almost instantly recognizable at a glance, or rather, used to be.Now the waters are rather ‘muddied’ with a whole bunch of cLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
We are into day two of snow. There really hasn't been as much accumulation as one would think, maybe 4 or 5 inches. Really was hoping for a foot so that I could get out on my snowmobile, which is still on the trailer, but that is not the case. It is very rocky here and we need a really good base of snow to keep us from hitting them. Possibly more on Saturday, there's always hope! :o)Have been thinking about how much we loved the snow when we were kids.
