I do love a hit of leopard... though I will say, that on myself, I often prefer this pattern in the grey tones. It depends on the garment really, but he camel-coloured variety can sometimes give a lady a coo-coo ca-choo Mrs. Robinson vibe - not that that's a bad thing - but which might not be what … [Read more...]
Good Job, Steve.
Steve Jobs died yesterday, in case you missed it. I wasn't going to write about him, but I feel a bit compelled, actually. His stuff is all over our house.By now, you've read some amazing quotes, or have heard a speech or two... the man can wax on life experience in a way that resonates deeply, if … [Read more...]
Zebra – John Butler Trio
I'm just coming off a lazy weekend with family, and I feel like I need to e-a-s-e myself into this week... reggae often does the trick. Buy nature, it's slow-ish and groovy, and there's nothing rushed about it. Feels like my weekend.With reggae, you gotta drop that plucky beat on the one and the … [Read more...]
The Thing About September
During the first week of August, I was thinking (Nay! Dreaming!!) about the return to school for the children, and the more structured routine for our lives. Having a few hours to myself, a few days a week after a long summer of schlepping kids around town... well it's something I really looked … [Read more...]
The Way They Play – Part II
As I tried to step into my rain boots this morning, my foot met a bunch of hard, plastic edges...Thank you, darling girl.After I dropped the child off at school, I returned home to straighten up after the morning whirlwind, as I usually do. In the TV room, I spied a blanket covering some kind of … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 27th, 2011
Yes, I read the date on the calendar, and I already told you: I don't care about the post-Labour Day rules. It's going to be near 25 degrees celcius outside today, and that still feels like summer to me. Besides, don't I just look like an angel? (Me. An angel. That's funny.) white bat-sleeve sweater … [Read more...]
Who’s That Kid…
So, the children bullied me into buying them some Oreos the other day. I have nothing against Oreo cookies (I've been known to partake in a dozen at a time a few now and again) but we already had two other types of biscuits in the cupboard, plus ice cream in the freezer, we had gift-with-purchase … [Read more...]
Something About You
My sister and I were discussing Level 42 the other night. (This is what sisters when they visit each other, over wine and fancy nibbles late into the night, you know.) Anyway, we contemplated one of their most popular songs, Something About You, which is one I listen to with a vague, nostalgic … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 21st, 2011
It's not easy getting dressed these days... the mornings can be cool or rainy, and by afternoon, we're sweating inside our, um, sweaters. (That's ironic, no?) Fall is here, but I'm not putting my white jeans away ever because they still work while it's warm and sunny outside, and anyway, I don't … [Read more...]
Pockets.
As I headed out for drinks with a friend one evening last week, I grabbed a coat I'd not worn for some time... it was pouring with rain, and it was suddenly chilly, even for September.I threw it over my shoulders as I ran down the stairs (late, late...) and searched for the sash to tie it up. My … [Read more...]
