Fashion: Girls Of Fall

8.21.12

I saw this sketch over on PaperFashion and spent quite some time looking over every detail… from the shading on the hat, to the coral of the lips, down to the folds of the skirt. Isn’t it stunning?

Besides the artistic beauty, the sketch got me thinking that every woman should look like this girl- fierce and elegant. I’m going to make an effort this Fall to be a tad more fierce and a bit more elegant. Now I’m not usually up-to-date with what’s fashionable or trendy, so I’m not sure how “fierce” I may end up looking, but I can integrate items into my wardrobe that make me feel fierce. As for adding elegance… this may be more of an attitude adjustment rather than products or purchases. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Here are a few things that I would love to make a part of my life this Fall…

Homemade Baby Food: Honeydew & Cantaloupe Sorbet

8.20.12

Josephine is in love with all things melon: Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Watermelon. Between Josephine and I, we can’t seem to keep enough melon on hand these days. I frequently call Dallan, right before he gets off work, to ask him to stop by the store for more. We may go broke.

Last night, Dallan’s brother and sister in-law were over for dinner. As we sat around the table discussing Josephine’s melon fetish, we got on the subject of cantaloupe sorbet. This was my inspiration for today’s baby food concoction.

The verdict? Josephine is in LOVE with this recipe. She eats it between the appetizer and first course, to cleanse her palate. View full post »

Design Inspiration: Black, White and Grey Office Spaces

8.17.12

Today, I found myself avoiding work and surfing the internet for inspiration. As I was hopping from site to site, I stumbled upon a stunning blog (amorelou). One of her posts highlighted a stunning office that was highlighted on Weekday Carnival.

White, Black and Grey Office Decor

After viewing the photos of this office space, I’ve decided it’s time to give mine a little make-over again. My biggest decorating problem is that I love too many things. Do any of you struggle with this issue?

Inside FHR: Josephine & Bebe

8.16.12

This week, Josephine noticed a picture of Bebe that we have hanging in our hallway – yes, we’re dog people. As soon as she realized the bug eyed Boston Terrier in the photo was her own poodle-bear, she squealed gleefully and started bouncing in my arms.

The next morning, I found her making out with Bebe in the family room. Josephine had her mouth open as wide as it would go, and Bebe was excitedly licking the insides of her cheeks.

I have a feeling it’s going to be hard keeping them off each other. It’s only just begun…
