Inspired by The Sartorialist

I am a fan of The Sartorialist. It is a blog. Check it out-www.thesartorialist.com. And check out Scott Schuman, the man behind the camera and blog and the book with the same name- tp://www.thesartorialist.com/bio.html

I simply love it! I love looking at the blog and I got the book from my best friend for Christmas. I love to look at the people and their creative outfits that he captures because they catch his trained eye. These photos inspire me and if I get a chance to look at his blog in the morning-before I get dressed, I try to dig up something out of my closet that adds flair to what I am wearing. Life is too short to dress boring.

He has taught me something too. I always thought that the fact that I have not yet found my style, made me not stylish-in a way. I thought I had to belong to a certain group-preppy or classic, artsy, rock style or whatever. I am a little of everything. And he wrote that it is the people that are still searching for who they are -that are the trendsetters. Now, that´s a lift- me- up! But I am not a trendsetter, I am just a mom in a small town, but I know that these are styles too: Movement, change, and taking chances and ultimately- making a statement.

Another tip: If you are sick of the Ugg boots and want to try something new, yet keep warm, try looking up Pajar boots. They are the new hot boots for cold climates! So cool!

2010-so many places to go.....

Well now, I know it´s been ages since I´ve blogged but, I got stuck a little. Stuck on not being able to get the pictures up that I want, not figuring out what to write, and I´ve been busy with Christmas. I am a stay at home mom that is on the go....so...

O.k...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY THREE FOLLOWERS AND THE REST WHO JUST HAPPEN TO DROP IN! I am writing while my three yr. old is watching childrens television and my other one just got in from playing in the snow. I have 5 min´s.

2010 is going to be a traveling year for me. London, Milan, Dublin, and New York are all booked. So exciting! Staying at The Ritz in London. It is a gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOw I have to do some research on how to dress for tea. Guys are lucky-jacket and tie, but for us women, we don´t want to look like we are going to a Disco afterwards or a Funeral..... The only dressy clothes I have right now are for evening entertaining at a Mountain resort. (Think Goat vest!) The Ritz calls for some other animal. -Mink, not rabbit. Cashmere not wool socks. Polished hands-not rugged, wood carrying hands. Chanel bag-not a rugsack (backpack). Sensible heels-not Uggs. Guess I will do o.k. If you guys got any hints....let me know. O.k. I know I am supposed to be a specialist-but in attitude-not class. Ritz is class. I am -and always will be- a lower middle class girl that now owns a Chanel or two. I can fake it....

Milan will be fun, fun, fun. Love the Italians and will be going with a group of women that love to cook and eat and shop. Dress Code-stylish and with good shoes!

Dublin will be a scream! Here I will be together with High School girlfriends that will be getting together for the first time since -25years! Love Irish Pubs!!!! Dress Code-EASY!

New York. Thanksgiving....Turkey...Fall...the City!!!!! Good walking shoes and good coat! Easy wearing garments under the coat to be easily ripped off to try on all the new stuff in the stores!!!!!

Looking good................for 2010!
