Brazil, baby…

Sooo… The last few days have been hectic, and I’m running late today, as yesterday, and oh gosh, seemingly everyday. I’ve had the search and destroy project ready for a few days, and haven’t been able to post them! Yikes… well, today I’m off to Brazil for this event involving Vogue Brazil and Brastemp. I’m [...]

Silent Summer

It’s hard not to be influenced by your surroundings. After years and years of living in urban settings, the country life is getting to me, softening me up… maybe? Well, my financial situation has certainly changed, that’s for sure… at the moment, I can’t really afford to be buying up all the latest things in [...]

Summer Evening Walk

Things I love about Summer.… Long days, garden roses,  evening walks, lovely conversations about nothing. Bike rides in the forest. Only a 15 minute train ride from Frankfurt proper, my home feels like it’s in the countryside, and it’s felt in my style, taking a softer approach to attire. Relaxed trousers are certainly popping [...]

Fire Engine Red

Every now and then, I’ll find a lonely relic of times past. Like this old German firetruck rusting in the woods. We were riding our bikes pretty much all day in the forest, and I hadn’t really put much thought into what I was wearing, except maybe to keep from melting and rolling up my [...]

A Walk in The Forest

In my adult life, I have always lived in cities. The hustle and bustle the street car noise. Concrete. Now, I live in a wooded neighborhood, just meters from the forest. It’s so lovely to be able to go for a run and to hear the birds chirping, to look above to the transparent green [...]

The Impossible, Yet Perfect Leather Dress

I have a knack for buying things out of season.
Swimsuits in December, boots in August, necessity has little to do with what I tend to covet. Last Saturday I found the perfect leather dress at the flea market. It is just gorgeous, with the zip sleeves that also roll up. I’ve never seen anything like [...]

Today’s Attire: Comfort, Stripes & Lace

It’s been a while since I’ve worn high heels on a daily basis. A year ago, I was walking around the streets of San Francisco one of my many pairs of heels, no problem. Since my lifestyle has changed, I’m rarely in need of heels, and I’m out of practice. Last week, I went out [...]

Today’s Attire: Play

After writing yesterday’s post about Agathe, I decided it was time to go out and shop. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in an actual shop with the intention to buy given my current financial situation, but I thought was in dire need of accessories so shopping was ok. I know I’ve [...]

Today’s Attire: Frenchie

Things to write on my gratitude list today… Boyfriend wears Filippa K. He’s very tall and thin like those male model boyish looking men… which is very nice methinks. If Susie Bubble can borrow from her boyfriend… why can’t I? It’s only natural, being as his bureau is closer to the bed than mine…
I [...]

Today’s Attire: Maxed Out

Today is one of those perfect days. I finally pulled out this black cotton jersey maxi dress I bought last year. Rocky says I’m ready for the opera, but I keep telling him, it’s cotton jersey, so it’s more like I’m wearing a giant t-shirt.
Yesterday I commented on a The Fashion-y Blog saying that I [...]
