Autumn.

It's already been a busy few weeks and now October will be over before I know it. I have had a few jobs which is good. I am starting to get a tad stir crazy. Not that I don't have plenty to keep me busy but I definitely am more productive when I have a lot on my plate. So my latest apartment project as been my new chairs. I won a set of arm chairs on Ebay but they were in Pittsburg so my cousin Erin picked them up for me and we finally met last weekend to do the hand off. Now comes the task of redoing them. I found an amazing fabric at Mood a few months ago and have been itching to get it and get this project going. Mind you I have never recovered chairs before and when I first started ripping them apart I felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew. Now, I am almost done and they are going to be fabulous. My only major decision now is do I paint the wood pink, plum or go safe and do white. Still deciding so I am at a small stand still . Here are the shots of the progress so far.







Good Golly there were a TON of staples!! More to come!

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

Inspired

I live in an amazing city. I am constantly people watching and I find the style and the unique expression of that style so fascinating. I decided it was time to start playing with my style more. Not only in my fashion choices but in my hairstyle as well. I have always felt a little schizophrenic in my style, but I always try to have a little fun with it. As most fashionistas I wake up and decide who I want to be and how I want to express that person each and every morning. Today I am feeling low key and comfy as I run out to do some errands in the city. Take a look and let me know what you think. I will start posting daily outfits just for fun.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
