Happy Thanksgiving

Leopard Boot

I am in love with this boot. I found this on le fashion image. I don't know who it's by, but I love it. I have been believing for a pair of leopard pumps. I think I'm going to add a pair of leopard booties to that request as well. Leopard is sort of like the new black...it goes with everything.

Trying Something New

I'm trying out this new template...however, I'm not sure I'm keeping it. I welcome feedback.

Italian Deck

The writer in me pictures me here stretched out on a chaise with a cashmere wrap, an espresso, a brownie and my computer, writing. The romantic in me, pictures me on a chaise wrapped in my husband's arms (speaking in faith) enjoying the beautiful Italian evening with the sounds of soft jazz framing the evening.

Fantasy Work Space

I think I have always been searching for the perfect home office...and I've yet to find it. Well that's not exactly true. I have a great Parson's style desk with drawers I found at an antique store for $25.oo. I painted it black and it used to be the check out desk in my store. Then when I moved stores, it became my home work space. Unfortunately, it also serves as my night table as well.

Every time I see a beautiful desk in a bedroom, I dream of my space looking like that...spending hours there writing. Funny thing is, as much as I would like that, I do most of my writing on my laptop in bed or a desk in the family room. Maybe that's one of the things I should put on my goal list for 2012...a better home work space.

In the mean time, I'll continue dreaming about the possibilities.

CUTE GUY ALERT

Ian Hylton

I found this handsome gentleman on a new favorite blog, The Sartorialist. His name is Ian Hylton. He's a designer and one of the best dressed men I've seen in a while that wasn't in a magazine or a movie screen. Love the look from head to toe.

STEVE JOBS

I was in the middle of writing when I got an email announcing the unfortunate passing of Apple Computer Icon and Co-Founder, Steve Jobs.

Those of you who know me, know I am an Apple junkie and loyalist. People say you are either a PC or a MAC person. I am proud to say, I am a MAC person. I was first exposed to the world of MAC when I worked in corporate America. But it wasn't until I had a major issue with my last PC that I rediscovered MACs. What convinced me to make the return? Customer Service. Apple has the best Customer Service. The staff is not only knowledgeable, but friendly and patient. It took me several visits to the Apple Store at South Coast Plaza before making the decision to convert.

Now my entire family is hooked.

Thanks to Steve Jobs and the Apple family for all their creative talent and the tools they've given us.
