Camping…Boudoir Style
Most of my life people have always made the assumption that because I like girly things, that I would dislike the idea of camping. This is absolutely false. In fact, I really like camping. It is my husband who is the diva and decided he will not sleep in a tent this year. Ok, the real reason is because he has a bad back (he wouldn’t be too pleased if he knew I just called him a diva…shhh…don’t tell). You see, my grandparents run a campground in northern California each summer now that they are retired. We try to make it down there every other year. So, now the question…

Update: Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief
Ok, I just found out a little bit more about the fashion show from my previous post. It is being hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Dutchess of York. The show will feature many internationally recognized designers, celebrities and VIP’s. The looks will be auctioned at a later date via net-a-porter. The funds, which are being raised for Haiti, will mainly go to rebuilding the healthcare system for women and children. Now, for all of you that aren’t American Express cardholders, it appears that this is simply a pre-sale for Amex holders. So, I have a hunch that the tickets will be made available to the general public after the pre-sale, which…

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief
For all of you fans of fashion, who also have a soft spot in your heart for Haiti (like me), you may be interested in this fabulous event I am about to share with you.

Février
Since it is now February (Février), I thought it would be a good time to share this piece of my boudoir with you. It is a little 4″x6″ tray that I keep on my desk. I’m wondering if it was once part of a series, because as you can see, it says, “Février” in the top left corner. It makes for a pleasant catch-all for miscellaneous items that would probably otherwise be strewn about. I picked this little gem up at a garage sale several years ago (note the lipstick…under the red cap is an ink pen…I love it!). I’m telling you, never underestimate a garage sale. Sometimes you can…

Mlle Baker
“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.” – Josephine Baker 0

“Hello, Operator?”
Of course everyone remembers the rotary telephone, right? Oh contraire! When pulling out this vintage telephone for its photo shoot this evening, my nine year old daughter exclaimed, “this doesn’t make any sense…how do you use this thing?” Oh, to have been born in the 21st century… I have to say, there is something I just love about a vintage rotary phone. This beauty was a gift from my boss at the espresso stand that I worked at as a teenager. She was always hunting through antique stores. Knowing I was fond of this era, she thought of me when she found it. I still treasure it today, about 15…
