For Boston. . .

There really aren't words to describe how horrible this week's events in Boston were.
I, along with my co-workers, were in complete shock as the news came in and the story unfolded.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the City of Boston.

I have wanted to write a post about Old Try for quite some time now.
Their beautiful, handmade "Manners" post hangs over my bar and is quite the conversation piece.
{Apparently the mayor of Hoboken commented on it when she saw it in the framing shop} 

But today seems like the right day to tell you all about them because they have created a striking new print celebrating New England.  
And they are donating all of the profits to help the families and people who were affected this week.

"Patriots Day"

Based on the first flag of New England.
And today, I think we are all a little bit New England.

They say it better on their website, so please click here

Until tomorrow . . .
Remember to hug the ones you love

Screen Actors Guild Awards: My Fashion Faves

It was another lively red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
This is my favorite awards show, the actors really do seem to be having a lot of fun.

And of course, they look amazing on the red carpet

Winter Blues

It's still cold.
So I'm trying to distract myself from the the winter blues with these gorgeous blue dresses.

Any of these would be a welcome alternative to the two sweaters, sweatpants and three pairs of socks I'm hanging out in now.

The Reality of Snow

Growing up in CA, snow always looked like this:

Bear Mountain, CA
 {and meant vacation!}


But now that I live in the Northeast, it often looks like this:


"Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho . . ."

{I like the former experience much better}

Until later . . .

Are we there yet?

Ok.  I'm ready.  Is it spring yet?
And with today's grey weather, I needed a reminder, of what is to come.










Until tomorrow . . .
