my favorite photographer




These photos were taken by my 16 year old son today.  I am a huge fan.

what can you get for $7

Every Saturday night I go on a date with my husband.  It usually includes a little antique or thrift store shopping.  This Saturday I found this treasure at the Downtown Antique Mall for $7.

I am loving the fall weather that we got a hint of today.  It has me rummaging around my attic for treasures.  I will be dusting off my Ralph Lauren motor cycle jacket that I got when I worked there.  Yikes, are clothes that I bought as an adult now in the "vintage" category.  I am feeling old.  I think that it will look cute with my Pears + Bears swiss dot ruffle blouse.  Above are two jackets that I love from Neiman Marcus.  They had some black ones but I never never wear black.

purely addictive

Like many I am in love with Pure Barre,a workout the fuses elements of ballet, pilates and weights. No matter how tired I am when I walk into one of the classes I always leave feeling great and with energy to spare.  I love how it works every muscle in my body.  I love that I don't feel like anyone is watching the fact that i still can't get my knee off the rug.  I love that some of the girls bounce in in there expensive work out gear and I drag myself in in my navy target pants and old navy t shirt.  I love that some are younger than me and some are older.

warning:  It is hard to move the day after your first class.  It is addictive.  It is expensive (after you do the $100 for one month unlimited).
