What to Wear When it's Summer Weather in the Winter

Happy Washington's Birthday, National Margarita Day and Full Moon! Who knew February 22 was such a party day? LOL Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was busy but good. Quality time with loved ones always makes the days good, regardless of the activities. For some reason my son woke up at 5:45a on Saturday morning (then slept in until 6:45 today, go figure) so my weekend started early. We got out of the house early to get the car washed (our car came with free car washes for life when we bought it a little over a year ago) only to find out that the dealer has cancelled that perk due to the California drought.

How to Wear a Dress as a Top

January 27, 2016/ K Jax

Happy Hump Day everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. We've been dealing with some seasons cold/sinus issues in our house lately. My little dude has had a sinus cold for the past week+, and has had a steady daily flow running from his nose, and also post nasal drip giving him a very wet cough (TMI? ;) #momlife, LOL) Then I was hit by something - maybe the same thing? - that had me out with a fever for day, and now I am having sinus issues and a sore throat. 'Tis the season, I guess.

Custom Retro Style by EShakti

When I was a kid, the channel AMC (now home to original programming like "The Walking Dead") was known for playing classic oldie movies (after all, "AMC" stands for American Movie Classics). Being the cinema lover that I was, I loved watching the old Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara films. There's just something about those Hollywood golden years, and the beautiful, feminine style of the 40's and 50's. I always loved the women in their dresses (although I didn't envy the girdles you know they were wearing underneath to get their trim little waists.)

A Dress for Any Occasion

January 04, 2016/ K Jax

So here we are, the first week of the new year. I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's celebration this past weekend. We were low key: had my sister-in-law and niece over on NYE, ordered some BBQ (and I made a from-scratch blueberry cobbler for dessert, which was mighty tasty, if I do say so myself), the kiddos played til their bedtime, then we adults watched a movie ("Antman", if you were curious. Wasn't bad, actually. I mean, it's a Marvel comic character, you can't expect serious art.) We made it to midnight to ring in the new year, but I have to confess we were already in bed, and had the lights off by 12:01 am. ;)

How to Wear (Faux)Leather Pants

First of all, let me apologize for the quality of these pictures. We visited 3 different homes for 3 different Thanksgiving meals this past weekend, and at the final stop (my parent's home) we forgot our camera and didn't have it for shooting these. So the iPhone had to step in. It's really amazing with all 3 (4 of us counting the dog) we don't forget more. We did forget the MangnaDoodle too, but we'll survive for a couple weeks until we see Grandma and Grandpa again. ;) (The camera is being mailed tomorrow. ;) )
