Double Coated
Mark Twain may have noted the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco, but according to my coat collection, I would have to wonder about Mark Twain’s opinion. I was completly unprepared for the kind of cold that exists here in Frankfurt (and one of the warmest parts of Germany I [...]

When in doubt… add more gold
For those who know me, I’ve always preferred yellow gold to silver… and it’s not always been seen as the more tasteful choice… with connotations of New Jersey and Miami. But then again, I’ve been obsessed with the Sopranos and I’d love to go to Miami. Lately I’ve been noticing gold tones to be [...]

All is Quiet on New Years Day
It may be silence, but it also may be that I’ve lost my hearing from all the fireworks. Last night was delightful, nothing spectacular, we went to a home-cooked dinner party with lovely friends and lit up a bunch of fireworks (yes…that’s legal in Germany too!) “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us [...]

They might be resolutions…
Tonight we are going to attach our dreams to some rockets and fire them off to the sky.. it's actually the idea of my good friend, but it sounded like such a good idea, we have to do it, and why not? Fireworks are still legal in Germany. When trying to remember resolutions I've kept...I can only think of a few... quitting smoking in 2007. It actually took a few years of trying, so whether it was a New Years resolution that made it stick is certainly questionable.

It’s an Ipso Facto
Cutting your hair and dying it black always seemed to be the anti-beauty treatment… after all (blonde) Smurfette’s evil sister Sassette had short black hair. I Dream of Jeanie had an evil sister with dark hair… and I don’t know, I could be full of it, but dying my hair black and getting a bowl [...]

Anatomy of a Shoe Hunt
One of the most happy things about the new year isn't the dreary January weather, it's the January Sales. It's usually the time of year where I'll go on the hunt for a nice pair of sale shoes. Actually, in times past, I'd always be hunting for sale shoes, it was my meditation...

Happy & Hunky
Normally at this time, I’m either on the long drive between San Francisco and the Inland Emprire (just east of LA) to see my mom… or I’m “finishing up” my shopping at Target. But since I’m in Germany, spending the first holiday with my boyfriend’s family, it’s a bit of a different experience. [...]

Simple Days are Near
I know it’s the last day before the holiday week… which seems to be a lot longer than in previous years, the holiday break almost seems like 10 days or yeah… a long time, which is great, but I’m not ready. I’m not ready. Today I played around a lot with my clothes, I think I [...]
