When did the classic subtleties of this… morph into this… to ultimately become this… An 8 croc orgy of highly ostentatious style and taste. Yours, for a feeding frenzy on the wallet at $165.Criky!

Let There Be Light!
Because it’s dark earlier I want more accent lighting around the house to cozy up the casa. I love the way this photo is accessorized with the pairing of the heavier tartan on the clear lamp base. The weight of the fabric pattern is made lighter by the variegated roses and white book jacket with red lettering. The white back drop is perfect. So fresh.Williams~Sonoma Home. I have been obsessing over these for weeks.I want to gaze into them to… [Read More]

The Evolution Of My Organized Life Through Desk Calendars
I love desk calendars and organizers and I believe a choice of one can be very insightful to where we are in our lives. My first one was the Sierra Club Engagement Calendar week-at-a-glance. ($13.95) I was young and green. Every week was an inspiring, beautiful picture. There were some off years that weren’t note worthy.I was in the ad business and proving myself. A Day Timer here, a Filofax there. Very professional. Very official. Very boring. Soon thereafter I… [Read More]

My Pumpkin Patch
When I got up to the cashier she said automatically, “Did you find everything you needed?” I said deadpan, “No, I couldn’t find the pumpkins. You didn’t have any in the store.” She stopped what she was doing and just looked at me like I was the most dimwitted person she had ever met. If I could have kept a straight face she would have had a great story at the end of her shift.

“You Look Beautiful, No, No Really.”
My sorority sister once told me of a guy who was hitting on her and uttered the titled phrase in a thick foreign accent in one complete sentence and breath. Insincerity was never so charming. It became a catch phrase between us. I’ve found some products that sincerely can have an impact on beauty.Yes, yes, really! Origins A Perfect World Facial Cleanser – antioxidant with white tea I came across this line as I was looking for Dr. Andrew Weil’s… [Read More]
