So here is my first. My first ever true "fashion" post I'm sharing. Sure, I take tons of selfies, but never have done this. I've always enjoyed seeing the everyday style of fashion bloggers and never thought I could do it. So, I finally said, "Here I go!" So humor me by saying it's ok even if its not! Remember this past December... when Neiman Marcus and Target had this huge collaboration with all these fab designers? Where it got lots of … [Read more...]

What time is it?
I'm droooooooooling over, obsessssssing over these like NO other, wish I could have one for every day of the week. I call these my Rainbow of Rolexes. From 1stdibs, you can get some of these (many are sold, DARN!), along with many other timepieces. But these I covet. It's like a spumoni of watches. I have always loved Rolexes, and especially men's large ones. We see so many classic simple ones, and I must admit, I'm a "practical" gal … [Read more...]

Last spring, I indulged in Kate Spade's clutches (#3, #4) because I couldn't pick just ONE. Rebecca Minkoff … [Read more...]
Five thoughts for Friday.
1. Well, I guess you could consider this a mini vacation week.... after no internet and being told my hard drive crashed (when it just over heated I'm THINKING? because it's working ok NOW?), I did no blog posting yesterday. No TV to watch, (which I'm not a HUGE tv person), AND my twitter got hacked (which you can't change the PW on a mobile app. Nice, right?... you need to be at a real COMPUTER with INTERNET to fix that). Forgive all the … [Read more...]

Guacamole Sisterhood
I hardly ever talk about what I do for a job, but after tonight's meeting, I couldn't help but share what a great environment I'm in and a part of. Tonight I had the pleasure of getting together with the ladies that I work with. We've known each other for about 7 years are like family. The "feeling" of work is the farthest thing from our minds when we're together. Our "work" lifts us up and supports and nurtures. It's non-competitive, … [Read more...]

What a relief.
Christmas is over. Done. All the prep, all the gifts, all the decorating, all the parties, done. Finito. AND we're all still alive (the end of the world didn't quite hit us yet). Here are a few of the treats I got from Santa... coat / bag and these that are PRICELESS... The canvas print my daughter made for me, the pot holder and holiday art my son made for me, THOSE are the best. I can't complain one bit. Finally. I got it done. … [Read more...]
What is going on?
Well, I feel a bit discombobulated. (I love the sound of that word, so I wanted to find a way to use it!) Lot's of static in the brain. Have you ever felt that? Holiday cards... not done yet. Holiday shopping? About done, but not all wrapped. A few packages still left to be mailed. Will they arrive on time? Unlikely. Do I still need to make those gingerbread houses for the annual Gingerbread House decorating? Yes. :) Have I been … [Read more...]
Five things
1. I'm super proud of myself in being super focused on my diet. When I use the word "diet" I mean my "intake of food"... not DIET per se DIET. Donno why or how. But we all go thru ups and downs. For now this has been a good week. Maybe all the stars are all aligned right.... maybe it's because this week we had 12/12/12 and we won't see it for the next 100 years!! LOL! Whatever the case, I hope I keep up the good work. Pat on the … [Read more...]
