Favorite things

One of my favorite fashion blogs is Glamourai. Yesterday I saw her blog on these boots. My husband then suggested we go shopping for two of my favorite things: shoes and perfume. The perfume was easy. Costume National's SCENT and the Hermes scent: un Jardin sur le nil. The hermes scent reminds me of Etro's Messe de nuit, while the Costume National reminds me of a scent I used to wear as a girl: Lady Stestson! Seriously, it has some of the same notes, but, obviously, much more elegant and much less chemical than the Stetson.
The shoes were more of a problem, everything I tried on was either too tight, too loose or too boring. My mind kept going back to those damn boots at Payless, by Patricia Field, no less. We came home and I ordered both colors: the black and olive.


Thanks, Glamourai!!!

Gifted children are no longer "real"...

This article really, REALLY ticked me off! As a parent of two highly gifted children I find this disturbing. We (our family) don't wear badges of "Proud to be the parents of gifted children" on our hearts. The short explanation of a long, sad and somewhat frustrating story is that finding out our children are gifted, has helped us love and explore the many complicated ways they feel, think and process info.
Gifted children are a handful. They see things differently, at times clearer than adults. At times as a 3yr old trapped in a 10yr old's body. While they may be somewhat of a "genius" I tend to look at their ability to see reason, show compassion and love to others.
Most 8 yr old's do not stop to comment on a classmates parents divorce being the reason that the child is acting out...just saying.

It's all black and white

So lately I have been obsessed with black and white. When I first started my web site I only wanted blk and white silhouettes as my images...not or the clothing but just for the "look." At some point I moved away from that, but its always been a huge fascination for me. As a collector of old photos, I am constantly drawn to black and white imagery.
The Greek is on a U2 "Boy" kick. There's a book he wants for Christmas that is about the making of the Boy album. Album, not cd, kids!!!! Today I have spent the better part of the afternoon trying to find it...no luck! But I did spend a good amount of time on youtube:


and then there are the images from Chip Willis.....it's all making sense.
Lela at the Leland by Chip Willis:

The master...Chip and his muse..Lela.

Okay, she is now my official muse as well.....thanks to Sophia for the beautiful hair and make-up. It doesn't get much better than this, right?
WRONG.
There are many, many more. Thanks, Chip...Lela...Sophia!!

Sometimes.....

brilliance and beauty is right under your nose. Thank you Chip, Lela, Kate and Sophia. I am anxious to have those magical photos in my hand...........
in the meantime...look at some Chip Willis.
