Falling for you....

The first crisp fall temperatures hit sunny Florida and I am craving anthropologie's plaids and wool now more than ever. Here are some of my selections:

Noah's ark....

And the animals came in two by two...and twelve by twelve. It's nearly time to find a calendar for 2011 and I think this one more than suffices.

Making a cameo....

I adore my vintage rings. They are, of course, family heirlooms, but for the longest time I have been craving a cocktail cameo and I found one. Circa 1950 and surrounded by seed pearls this cameo is perfection.

Goodnight, moon.

Adios, Summer. Yesterday marked the start of fall and the autumnal equinox....and a harvest moon. Thanks to Neil and fifth grade science....these things I know.

Quotable.

I heart Dr. Seuss. Good man. Good author. Great quote...now on to steering myself in any direction I choose.

Knee high.

Get a leg up on the season with knee socks. I have tried and failed miserably so many times to wear these...but this year....maybe, just maybe......or maybe I should concede and make a concession to wear these only during kickball and halloween.....

Oh Captain, my captain.

I crawled onto the high seas as I embarked on my first sailing trip this Sunday. Nervous does not begin to describe how I felt. Initially I was psyched to go sailing...but then as I stood in my cutoff shorts staring at the tiny boat I became greatly concerned. "It does not have a motor." That was all I could say...then the next thing out of my blunt mouth was, "It is basically a canoe with a sail." Granted I should have considered the physics of the situation, tiny boat...pulled by wind....could tip over. I had not given any of this any thought, I only saw the opportunity for a new experience as I took my first sailing trip on Sunday. We nearly tipped the boat a few times, but I wasn't worry about getting wet; I was worried about my phone and camera taking a plunge. Note to self: when taking out a small sail boat carry nothing on board unless you have waterproof containers. The overall experience was good. Although I think I freaked out my boat captain with my severe lack of enthusiasm fear! Good day though....I make an excellent first mate!

You've got mail.

Does electronic mail make dating a little less painful? It certainly seems like it (for Dudes at least). I was just asked out via email....I am going to blame it on the fact that the guy possibly lost my number and had not talked to me in a while. I guess saying no would have been uneventful enough: I could have a. deleted the email, b. politely declined, c. claimed to have never received it (darn company firewalls), or d. responded nastily.....but I accepted graciously. It was harmless enough. We'll see how the date Saturday goes...I think it could be funny enough to write home about......

Scully-wag.

I want, but don't need these kicks....Happy Halloween.

Rock on.

The Brits have it. Perfect shade of grey, Union Jack flag, croc couch, shag pillows and vintage table.
