notes from my desk

Sorry internet lovers.. but, life has been calling and the old blog is officially on the back burner.

Ava P has started school and about 5 hours of each day is devoted to preventing potty accidents. 

Luckily, Darth Vader  is apparently the patron saint of poopies, because Ava would 

do anything for him. 

and, of course I am cat keeper for 2 more days. I think I'm gonna miss em!

 I do promise to come back in full effect someday. I have been looking at the

stay at home mom blogs and this picture is looking better everyday. 

In the meantime, I am here, designing Holiday and I am ready to share. 

I love cropped trenches and I love dropped batwing armholes... and so, I love this. 

 Sending out some swim goodie packs!! You know who you are!

But, really, they are for the models and some WINNERS. So, don't get angry. You'll get yours(eventually).

 Some winter vintage inspiration...

 and lacey laces!

 and how scrumptious is this maxi. It is as soft as butter, yet fall heavy. yummm.

(I am not really wearing it - just tricking your eyeballs). 

  Hope life is beautiful! I have given a few permissions for a few more contests. So, let's hope those bad boys happen soon. 

the haps

took a few shots of the  Olde Good Things shop in LA. 

This shop will be in my professional and 

personal future. Mark my words!

and the kitties, you may ask? They are not as 'blue' as 

anticipated. But, they are really fluffy and cute!

The brown girl has already been reserved and named Delilah. 

Does 6 cats make me a cat lady. Oh yes. 

and Pearl, the mom. 

Happy Wednesday!

what's going on...

la la la la I am a terrible blogger. You MAY question my commitment!

ha. But, it's all in good fun. I will still part time throw some 

loveliness your way!

SO! I FINALLY got my favorite piece of swim in. 

Note to self : don't ever say anything is your favorite because it will 

of course be the ONLY piece in the line that arrives with the 

print at 250% size and has to be redone! tears!

Anyway... There is a killer group based on this gorgeous flea

market beauty. Um, looking kind of phallic at the moment. 

Tell me you don't see it. Liar!

I had already received these cute bottoms, so naturally

I was excited. 

Note to **customers/you - this is the Sri Lanka Morgan bottom. 

Anyways, I finally got my most favoritest top.....

pencil drum roll....

The SRI LANKA PAIGE BANDEAU IN MINT! ha. 

The color is actually THIS vibrant and that cobalt is to die for. 

Love it!

My side story of the day is thank you to Joce for putting up this 

story on her blog. Compassionate people make me incredibly happy. 

I am so proud to be her friend! 

Another side story, about me, is that I have been constantly reading

the Angels for Animals page on Facebook, hoping that I see 

somewhere that I can help. 

So! I decided that I would be a kitten foster, so that wee little kittens

would not get euthanized at the shelter and be able to be adopted. 

Originally, I was set to get 7 tabbies this weekend with their mom, 

but a kitten emergency came up and now I am getting these babies

tonight!!  5 week old little Russian Blue peanuts!

I am pretty excited and SO glad I can help. 

And, I think it is worth mentioning that there is a chance that

these cats could grow up to look like this :

baby animals are so amazing. look at this one.
