Outfit of the Week

OOTW: Black and white, with a pop of color

March 5, 2010

My husband and I have been married for 12 years – 13 in June. I talk a lot. He doesn’t. Which woulnd’t necessarily make him a great listener, except he’s actually a pretty good one. But I do think sometimes he tunes me out. It’s not like I take it personally, how could he not? [...]

February 13, 2010

As much as I love trying something new and experimenting, when it comes to some things I’m a purist. Valentine’s Day is probably one of them.

I had trouble naming the outfit of the week, because… well, because of the dirty laundry. The figurative kind. I thought of naming it  a generic “Conservative… but not too much” or a more honest “My ‘visiting estranged relatives’ oufit” but nothing sounded quite right. Even now, I [...]

Outfit of the Week: holiday dinner with the family

December 24, 2009

Christmas for me has never been a time to go skiing, or taking a vacation in a warm place. Christmas has always been a family holiday. As an expat, I am more than used to living away from my family, but the holidays are one time a year when I actually want to have them [...]
