artist's block


This is an old piece. I have a completely different life than I did 2 years ago. Change is good, but it has made me a very unproductive girl. I am hoping to blog my way out of this block.

Happy New Year!


It is the year of the pig. Did anyone get any red envelopes? My husband and I each got a little something from his parents and my little girl raked it in!


On to fashion. I was having flashbacks to the early 90's with all of the black tights and short dresses in the New York shows. The only things missing were the chunky shoes we all used to wear. Then this weekend, I saw this. Creepers on the runway! I love this dress.

So, it is official. I am obsessed with Carnivale! I am almost half way through the second season, and I don't know what I'll do when I'm done. I'm off to watch an episode now.

Have a great week.

Long Live the Queen



The Queen Mary 2 docked earlier this week. She's massive! Quite beautiful too. I got to get a look before she left. Pier 27 was swarming with gawkers.
