Spring Embraces

DSC 0137 Spring Embraces

this wee blouse is a bit racy for me, but hey it’s spring time. i usually wear this scarf to go to bed, but made an attempt at transforming it into a turban. i should really watch a tutorial. pardon my sleepy eyes. same old–same old, crazy busy. but it’s friday and my freezer is well stocked with ice cream.

more and more i’m appreciative of all the hard work and sacrifices my maman has made for me. we have our moments, but all told she is incredibly fierce, stylish and incredibly loving. mothering three girls is no joke but she managed to do it with grace. i’m giving thanks to her this weekend. i also want to wish a happy mother’s day to all you mommies out there. much love to you…

The Classic Trio

DSC 0067 The Classic Trio after work yesterday i met up with one of my gals. she insisted that i post this outfit. it’s been quite some time since i’ve worn a black-white and red getup. while very casual, i’m pretty happy with how this outfit turned out.

last weekend we had a lovely time at my friend’s baby shower in philly. after the shower i made my way back home, i desperately wanted to stay and catch up with friends but i had so much grading to do. the bus ride back was painless as i had enjoyed quite a few cucumber, mint, lemon & gin cocktails at the party. the mr. stayed in p.a. where he visited some friends in the suburbs of philadelphia… (media, p.a.) our car was parked in the car port of his friends home and of all the cars on the block. mind you our friends, both husband and wife each have bmw’s and i have a bumpy, bruised up and scratched 2000 nissan altima with 165,000 miles on it. anyways. our car was broken into and josh had left our camera in the car. it had 2100 photos on it. i know shame-shame if only i had completed my 12 before 2012 goals. it had two more outfit posts from our trip out to l.a. which i was strategically trying to save the best for last. if only the thief would have left the sd card, i know times are rough but he doesn’t need my memories. my mom would simply say, you can’t always have good times, you have to have bad times too. i have since gotten over it but damn, ouch! that one really hurt. my sister was sweet to lend me my old nikon that i gifted her a few years ago so all is well. we plan to sell some of our other video equipment to buy another camera. then i’ll really be good to go. image credit

this film is haunting and deeply disturbing in the way that martha marcy may marlene is. we watched it a few nights ago and the energy of the film lingered on through the next day. i found myself thinking about it on my way to work. if you’re in the mood for a thriller or if you are a fan of almodovar you must check this one out. i wouldn’t recommend watching the trailer, it reveals too much. the less you know the better it will be. trust me. happy weekend folks
