It feels odd to be talking about what I plan to wear throughout the spring when it’s the last few days of April… So late! Oh well… We did have a colder than average spring so far. It’s a shame because spring is my favorite season. (In fact, my azuelas that are usually in full bloom for my April…

I love Pinterest
This is my 800th pin… Photo Credit I found this on the blog The Simply Luxurious Life. Apparently, it’s a Parisian home. I love the old-fashioned details like the floors, moldings, windows, the white and of course the crystal chandelier. This image also spoke to me… Photo Credit I enjoy dining al fresco …and in an…
Fresh Flowers: A Gift from a Friend
I had Kate from Une Vie Chic over on Saturday night and she gave me a bouquet of flowers. Aren’t they beautiful? I love them. I think she was a tiny bit disappointed that I already had my pink and white tulip arrangement in my apartment, but I told her that it shows that…
Style Sunday: Shopping Spree
I am delighted to share the pieces I scored on my birthday shopping spree. All are from Ann Taylor Factory Store. The same top in cobalt (not turquoise) and black. Note the lovely scalloped design on the sheer part. Very flattering, the shoulder comes out a bit, balancing out my hip on my hourglass figure nicely. I…
Fresh Flowers and Have a Beautiful Weekend!
I adore fresh flowers in my home. I picked up two small bouquets of tulips, one dark pink, the other white, on sale at the grocery store this morning. This is my arrangement today… I have them on my coffee table at the moment, adjacent to two stacks of books and little things and opposite…
April 16th: My Birthday Continued
I started off my day as usual, with a couple little cups of caffè (espresso). I selected my Caffe Vittoria espresso cup and saucer from Boston this morning as a small commemoration of the recent tradegy. I only managed to do a single load of laundry today. Will have to do more tomorrow! That means more time…
My Birthday Celebration
Today is my birthday and I had a such a great day! I started the day reading a book and enjoying a cappuccino and chocolate pastry at my favorite coffee shop. I followed this up with an even more relaxing experience, a professional pedicure. It turned out really well with my favorite nail lacquer, OPI California Raspberry. Next,…
Style Sunday: Ankle Pants and Dining Cushions
Back in this post, I expressed my curiosity with ankle pants. I tried them on Monday morning and liked enough to purchase a pair of black dressy ones from New York & Company. 7th Avenue Slim Ankle Pant in Black I do have muscular legs, but the silhouette isn’t bad… even in the slim style. For…
What I’m Reading
This is my small stack of books to savor during my vacation days next week. (Believe it or not, I have four days off (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!) from both jobs, starting with my birthday on Monday. (This time off follows a 34 work hour weekend (Friday through Sunday) but oh well.)) I purchased these on…
Style Sunday: New Balcony Chairs
I love my balcony. Unwinding there after work with a glass of red wine is nice. I needed new chairs for it since one broke last year and it’s getting warmer now. So, immediately after work last night, I picked up two metal chairs from an antique shop in the next town. Flower detail Aren’t…
