I have a serious problem…. and it’s all I can do to resist temptation to fill my ever growing dependency on a cute, squeezable and lovable creature… the owl!  Everywhere I turn, there is something else “owl” to draw me in and capture my heart.  The thing is, I can exactly pinpoint where my obsession [...]

One thing my husband always says is there aren’t a lot of shopping options for men.  And when I think about it he is right…. don’t tell him that!  Women do have a ton of options when in comes to dressing and decorating… skirts, pants, tights, leggings, heels, flats… well, you get the hint.  Men [...]

For someone who doesn’t like to get dressed up for Halloween… I sure do enjoy the day!  What is it about Halloween that has me counting down the hours?  I certainly don’t enjoy the spookiness of this time of year.  Heck, I’m still mentally damaged from Blair Witch Project and that was years ago.  I [...]

I always believed myself to have that inner Martha Stewart.  You know, that Type A personality that drives people like me (and Martha) to try and do things perfectly and well… my way!  I am known to take on more then I have time for and frankly, I love every bit of it!  I seriously [...]

I just love it when a plan comes together, don’t you?  As you may recall, I promised on Monday’s post that I would show you my designs that I had whirling around in my head since my trip to the pumpkin stand.  Well, wouldn’t you know it… A client called the store asking for a [...]

I love the fall!  I love the crisp air, belted sweaters and Macintosh apples.  I am officially obsessed with cinderella pumpkins, riding boots and pumpkin scented candles.  And as the weather begins to cool down and the sweaters come out of storage, my fall romance grows stronger and stronger.  Waking up yesterday morning and seeing [...]

So, there I stood in the Perfumery of Liberty department store in London – my eyes darting from one corner to the other looking for my husband.  I had left him an hour earlier on the third floor with a handful of items to purchase as I sprinted to the ground floor to find a [...]

While in London, I had my very own Rachel Zoe moment.  As my husband and I walked Portobello Market, Notting Hill’s fabulous Saturday street fair, I channeled my inner Rachel Zoe.  Not being one for new fur, I am a huge supporter of vintage.  Let’s face it… the poor little buggers have been long gone [...]

One of my must sees in London last week was Kensington Palace, the former home of Princess Diana.  I always found her to be incredibly glamorous and couldn’t wait to see where she once lived.  I was most excited to see a collection of Diana’s dresses on display, many of which I remembered the exact [...]

My husband and I just arrived home from a week in London to celebrate our anniversary.  It’s funny.  When we plan a trip overseas, I begin to think of myself as a socialite in the ’50’s, traveling abroad in fabulous style.  I dream of wheeling a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk (which I don’t own and [...]
