sooo big

I just miss coming here to post up the things I like, but I just don't make the time. I guess I should be closing down but I just don't want to really, I like the name and I like to blog about style. But how to make the time to do it? My days and my nights are booked solid. Booked hard. Booked to the absolute hilt. Maybe I could find some time in the morning while am at work. That just might save my day. And blog.

Is everyone really actually pissed about what Kate said to WWD recently? I need to know how it has affected you. Really. Email me.

Just plain crap!

I am just so awful at keeping up with this blog I have decided to put it on hold til I am once again inspired...I have been centering on items others than the external of late, and though realize style does begin within, taking this time in my days and life to organize and balance my wellbeing and health...

If you are interested in getting in touch, or keeping in touch, visit my Blogger page and follow me on my wardrobe musings blog, which is regularly updated for little insights and tidbits of my comings and goings...

Be well, and SWAK,

ownin' the weekend

I spent my entire weekend, down to the nitty-gritty of the minutes, in bed with a fever, shakes, and a terrible tummy that didn't want anything to do with food, keeping fluids down, or doing anything other than an entire weekend's worth of lie-in.

UGH so good to feel better now, in the last of the day light of Sunday, and to be at my office, turning through grant material and proposal documents and thinking about what new items I bought today in my wee window of time not feeling ill at home, but at second hand stores and the like (the like being online at a few too many etsy shop stops - but its all for the most excellent of causes...celebration of one another's talent - it is like buying local...you just feel better.

I got tons of cuteness. But didn't bring my camera with me to the office as I wasn't thinkin' I would be getting in a blog entry in here while I was supposed to be, er, locating my documents and heading home to make some food for my now very hungry tummy...yay, food!

can I call it or what?

SO YUM!!

ANNA, the fantastic designer hailing from the South and residing in the North, brought it all home last night in the finale of TFS which I know some think is just an easy cover up for Bravo's loss to Lifetime of Project Runway, but really, I don't give a shite on a tea tray covered with the most gorgeous doile in the world, I love Isaac's return to the world of fashion and excess. Just my take but he reminds me so much of my 80s youthdom that he can do no wrong. Unzipped, remember? Sigh. Where we got to actually hear what a bitch Linda was from her own lips, and see Naomi being a total diva and a very young and very modest Ms. Moss who tends to hover in dark spaces even then with a ciggie hanging from her perfect mouth. Yep, that Isaac and that era...super-drama-model era. The best!

Anna...bring it home, you are SO scrummy and talented! Yay! And I even had to have my say all over the blogs yesterday and up and down with all my girlies watching the finale last night...it was so close...Daniella, John-Paul, Anna...I knew it was going to be you all along, Girl...you are so true to yourself! And I was happy Daniella got to take home the $10K, she is very chic, modern, and if she would be a bit more outgoing she too could be fabulous inside and out...not unlike my delightful winner, Anna M!

I SCREAM For ANNA

Cute as a little bug in a rug, I just adore Anna from The Fashion Show...season one...she is such a doll! Her hair and clothing and make up and air, everything just fits...and she is one hip girl with one hip interest in fashion and design...very inspirational to say the least and to say it all...she is pure loveliness, and I would SO love the opportunity to interview or serve her a cheese and cracker tray on bended knee one day...so much she has to teach others about all things fashion...and she is a teacher, greatness.

Remember when she made her "homage de Chanel"...and had a matching little dress on in same fabric as her model that donned the "a la Chanel-esque" dress and little purple jacket that no one thought was great but Anna didn't mind and put it right back on her model when they (they being Kelly, Isaac and two other judges) and went on with her biz? Yup, that is my Anna!! I so hope she takes it home tonight...let's go all the way, Baby!

The king and his queen of the castle at the Met Gala, 2009. I love a bit of Simon and Yasmin from time to time...how well they look, breathtaking...what a lovely couple.

I am 100% all for the moccasin madness...bring it on...all the better for the warmer weather...with cute little crop pants, skirts, shorts, bikini...well, you know, make it your own creation & live out loud...

Summer lovin'...

blasphemy!

Am not sure of other readers of Style and the City but was totally taken aback at what is happening on the site, and how anyone would take advantage of a young up and coming photo-documentarian (not sure why you call those snap fashion style photographers on the street that seem to be popping up out of every nook and cranny of late) as a Parisian magazine recently has. Boo hiss on them though!

An eye for an eye always ends up with someone missing a nose, in my book.

Too bad and too sad, have a check-see for yourself when you have a moment, it really is one of those things that make me sigh deep down inside. The misery that is art and gluttony.

high summer

Am foaming at the mouth over Kate's latest collection for high summer with TopShop, amazing forumla of success that she is, Kate has won over the hearts of those who once said the collection would be a flop, even.

Am so thrilled for her, and can only imagine the creations she will come through with for us next...

Til then, these new pieces from the summer collection are just amazing me silly.




Fabulous! Anyone fancy a visit to Ibiza now, then?
