I just found this blog, Style On The Couch and have to tell you…it’s amazing! It’s the blog of Sarah, a British Therapist living in Manhattan. She has fab style and goes on fun trips, has the hook up to all the cool places. It’s a lot of fun. Here are a few of her suggestions…

Carine Roitfeld’s daughter Julia’s site, KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE…um…beyond. Just beyond.

REISS, British purveyors of fabulous fashions.

STRUMPET & PINK. Are we starting to see a theme here?

MICHI. Out of this world workout wear.

Beth Richards. High quality, gorgeous swimming suits.

Fleur of England. More inspiring undergarments.

And finally, something to keep our bellies full: Stone Soup Virtual Cookery School. LOVE this.

This year, we had Thanksgiving with my friend Sarah and her family. Sarah, besides being an incredible cook and a wonderfully creative person, has such a knack for making those around her feel wonderful. When she looked at my outfit, she said, “I love the way you always look so Mod, like you stepped right out of the 60s.”
And it’s funny…because I don’t think about myself as “Mod” at all. But, when I thought about it, she was right!

So, in honor of her comment, I thought I’d highlight a few of my fave “Mod” pieces of the moment, starting with Emerson Made

She even calls this one a Mod Dress…

I’d probably wear it with a black t-shirt and leggings underneath but that’s just me…

And this one, she doesn’t even have out yet. Divine, right?

Loved this one from ASOS as well…

To be totally honest with you, I have a love/hate relationship with writing. When I first started REALLY getting into writing 12 years ago, I loved it. Writing, to me, seemed like the perfect way to reach out to others, experience new and exciting things and express myself. I felt totally free when I wrote.

But, then, somewhere along the way, I started to feel restricted and started to judge what I was writing. And writing became more and more of a chore. It felt like something I “should” do instead of something I love to do. And with more and more blogs, I started comparing my writing and what I was writing about to others and would inevitably come up feeling inadequate.

As time has gone on, I’ve felt more and more like I can’t “just write”…I have to be entertaining, fun, bubbly, perfect and chic all rolled into one. Yuk.

Yet, my original passion for blogging is still there. I recently discovered this with my Pinterest account. What I used to love to do on my blog (post beautiful pictures that truly represented who I am & explore all of the ways that I can put my two cents in about beauty), I now find myself doing on Pinterest.

And, ironically, I don’t have to write on Pinterest. It’s almost entirely visual. So, today, I thought I’d share with you a few of my Pinterest faves from my folder, “Romance.”

Let’s go for a walk…

through my neighborhood. Honestly, I could live here forever and be the happiest person on earth. It is the most beautiful, peaceful, warm, lovely neighborhood you could ever hope for. The people are warm, the homes and apartments are beautiful and the whole feel of the place is just yummy. I love it!

Here are a few pics from my morning walk…
