The mercury has taken a nosedive this weekend. I was hoping to wear my new Lands’ End sandals today but instead I’m in boots and a scarf. There was a light frost this morning. We had covered the tomatoes and peppers so hopefully no damage. It was pretty chilly in Chicago and with quite a […]
There are a glut of these Boden Chic Beaded Tops WA347 on eBay, not sure why, I can’t see anything wrong with mine – nice fit, beadwork survived multiple washes… just not a popular line I guess. Oh well, my gain, I might pick up another one. Cracking out the shorts today, despite the fact […]
I think I last wore these Target burgundy jeans here, keep forgetting about them. That’s the sign of a disorganized closet, a bad laundress or too many clothes – I’ll let you guess which! Not much happening today, a grey cloudy day, the car saga is ongoing and I have a ton of errands to […]
I do like this denim Boden zig zag tunic but it reminds me that I don’t have decent leggings, just cheap ones, and this tunic is a slightly funny length and I may well have a bit of Lululemon derrière going on! Where do you buy your leggings? Do you shell out for thicker ones or […]
It’s nearly the weekend, yahoo! Have you got plans? We’re slightly limited with only 1 of the 2 days off for my other half, but that’s better than none and we will head to Chicago shortly. We did see the cave painting exhibit last week, it was very well done but I got my caves […]
I still can’t find my tripod attachment, it’s a genuine mystery. Perhaps a child has inserted it into the heating vent or something, that’s always a laugh. I can’t decide about this Boden crinkle shirt. I think this is only its second outing since I bought it last winter (this winter? -spring hasn’t exactly started!). […]
I can’t find the whatsit that attaches the camera to the tripod so excuse the photo, had to balance on a chest on top of a pile of books to take this. I’m going to some friends’ citizenship oath this afternoon. I had wanted to wear a nice dress and heels but it is snowing […]
I paid $39.90 for a Uniqlo cashmere turtleneck before Christmas and was pleased with it until I actually wore it. I don’t have any allergies, I’m totally okay with wool but man did this make my neck burn, itch and come up in red welts, yikes. It was so bad I had to take it […]
I don’t do Valentines, we’ve never done it. This year I got an unexpected eGift card and a big hint about the kind of tea kettle I should buy with it… you can see why I don’t usually bother! My boy was very excited though, any opportunity for candy is great as far as he’s […]
I don’t usually shop for groceries in Canada, it’s far too expensive so we buy almost everything across the border in the US at Meijer. But this week we missed our weekly shop due to travelling, so I had to suck it up and pay Canadian prices. It’s not only bad for the bank account […]
