Blues and Greens

Some of my favorites colors...

Ruby Red

I heart Amazon so. It's a wee bit too easy for me to order things online...and being someone who loves to get mail, a package only a couple of days after ordering is fantastical. Today I received The Wizard of Oz. And oh my goshelles.... apparently it's a special edition with sing a long. Wee woo... thankfully Erik has to travel for work this week; he is definitely not a fan. And really not a fan of me singing along with films. When my car stereo broke, I created an Only Julie Andrews Rule while riding in the car. With this rule, one could only sing songs from The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. Erik would not ride in the car with me. Anyway, I shall be watching the Wizard of Oz, and I would like these shoes to wear while watching, and definitely wearing them with light blue socks.

Lounge Like You Mean It...

So, I was browsing the Anthropologie website last night for work inspirations, and saw this adorable hat!! Can you imagine having Peter Rabbit on your head!? I think I see a hat making project in my future... So, the reason I even found the hat, was because this turban caught my eye.

At first, looking at the thumbnail, I was like, Oh interesting, then I opened the larger image and gasped at the ugly sight... but yet, I couldn't take my eyes off... Then I remembered how I had wanted a turban a la 'old-hollywood-movie-star' last summer to wear while lounging around the pool. I then came across these on Amazon.

Whew... what a find... Poor Erik was sitting next to me at the kitchen table trying to get work done as I kept flipping my laptop around, "No, but, seriously, look at this one! My oh my, imagine wearing that!?" I am now eagerly awaiting the arrival of my brand new bright turquoise turban which I shall wear fabulously...

Fields of Metal Flowers...As far as the Eye Can See...

I love vintage flower pins and have decided to collect more. (hey, we all have different goals...) Here are a few from Country Living. If I can't have flowers outside, I shall wear them on my person.

You Cheer Me Up and Keep me Warm...

These lovely leather gloves by Fratelli Orsini available through Amazon are the perfect way to keep you warm, add some color, and keep you looking chic through the usually un-chic feeling weather. Love them.

Loveselles...

Oh Anthropologie, we knew you'd have something wonderful for us in the new year... and it popped into my mailbox today.... some loverly new looks from the January catalog that I'll dreaming of tonight....




Night night.

Love it!! (double exclamation points!!)

I saw the film Nine this past week and fell for the 1960's Italian looks...
That hat!!...

The P.J.s!!...

A perfect little dress that had a perfect little coat on earlier in the scene!!....

Adorable car!!....

We have one too!! (not in powder blue, and a few years later, but I love it all the same...)

Glitz and Glamour

I always love the time between Christmas and New Years. You've had one fabulous holiday and can now prepare for yet another even more fabulous one. We had a great Christmas here in the Todd Pod, with all of Erik's family visiting from L.A. and South Carolina. Now it is just the two of us once again and we are getting ready for a New Year bash in the city tomorrow. If I had the time to shop, I'd like to wear this dress:

With these shoes:

and this bag:

I'm not one for New Years resolutions, however, one will be to post more often. I promise. I'm already off to a huge changing start...I've chopped off my hair and dyed it dark brown. Quite a change I tell you....quite a change...

Happy Holidays!!!

Phew... where have I been??? Busy at work, that's where. We've had a deadline and we are just wrapping up now. I've been so busy that for all I know, it could be summer, not the winter holidays...ah well. This will be the first Christmas that I'm not going to Connecticut to see my family. I'm sad... These shoes would make me feel better... available from Zappos.

Just Like Candy....

I like you... and you... and you... and you....
