Fast fashion… I am not going to write a lot on this topic. We all know what fast fashion is. Or, do we? When I think of fast fashion, I think of clothing that is cheaply made, inexpensive to the consumer, and doesn’t last. It turns out there is much more to fast fashion than …
Speaking from experience… Last week, I mentioned I had gone to a women’s retreat but had to leave early. I was very lucky another woman had come and was only staying for the day. Once I saw her and realized the ramifications, I was so relieved. You’re probably wondering why, right? I didn’t double check! …
On my mind… I have been looking for a new rug for the dining room…hahaha!!! It’s not a room; it’s a sad, pathetic space stuffed full of my dining room furniture! I realize most people who have built in our neighborhood are downsizing their lives and are my age or older. They have not only …
I apologize from the beginning. There will be no photos of pumpkins in this post. But, I do have pumpkins on my mind. We went to Newfields (aka Indianapolis Museum of Art) today. The architects knew what they were doing when they designed the gift shop. One full (almost) wall of the gift shop is …

“All About That Bass” The month of May must have been doing its Indy 500 imitation because it just sped by! Surprisingly (that’s sarcasm), we have an air quality alert for the next few days. I know part of that is because the temperatures are going to climb. But, there’s a part of me that …
I thought so… At the end of this past week, Nigel and I were busily planting plants and trees. Well, I was planting plants, and our oldest was planting trees. We visited a local garden center where I found the tree of my dreams. Or, maybe I should say trees. It was a clump of …

Style Imitating Art challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for …
Queen of… If I am a queen of anything, it is the Queen of Procrastinators. I tell myself I work better under pressure, but, really, I just think I’m lazy. I will put off almost anything until the last minute if I possibly can. Here’s just one example. The Banana Republic rewards program used to …
