I Love My… Vintage Famolare Platform Wedges

These were my mother’s back in the 70’s. She gave them to me when I was in high school–or maybe I should say, I saved them from the attic! I’ve worn them so much the soles are worn down and separating, but I can’t bear to get rid of them. In high school my favorite [...]

I’ve been a fan of Joy Division’s since I first saw this video on Mtv’s 120 Minutes when I was a teenager.

I Want… a Marimekko Umbrella!

It seems to me that everyone has a black umbrella. You look around on a rainy day, and everyone’s got the same umbrella! But Marimekko umbrellas are bold and distinctive. My personal favorites are the “Kiku” and “BLK and WHT Stripe” designs. The Kiku design is reminiscent of oriental fans, and its dark blue (or [...]

I love my… Dachshund!

Hello, World! This is my first post, and I just want to tell you how much I love my dachshund.

My dachshund was born on Cinco de Mayo back in 2006 to a certain Toasty Pretzel Girl and Beanie Franks Pruitt (haha, don’t you love those names?). He’s a black [...]
