highs and lows


It's been snowing here (as you can see) and the dogs have been in heaven.  Apparently, snow is all the rage when it comes to hot trends in dogdom :).  Last night Andy and I watched  The Usual Suspects, an older movie but soooo good (if you are a thriller/mystery fan, you are in for a ride!).  We also enjoyed "breakfast for dinner" ... pumpkin spice pancakes, sasuage links, and scrambled eggs (Andy's a rock-star when it comes to making eggs ... his eggs are the.best.ever!)


When I first saw this dress on Ruche (similar style), I was instantly smitten.  I fell in love with the interesting hem line ... it's a bit higher in the front and scoops down a bit in the back and it is the perfect shade of misty, muted turquoise.  I opted to pair it with rose patterned tights, a creamy knit cardigan (thrifted) and a Here Kitty necklace from BrideBlu.  I am slightly obsessed with all things cat related ... partly because I go by "Cat" and partly because I just love the little furry munchkins (but only from afar ... Andy is super allergic, unfortch)



On a related note, I am so psyched that today is Wednesday ... only two more days until the weekend.  Hooray!

  2. Beautiful dress color and I love the sweater! It is nice to see snow - today was almost 70 here - very unseasonably warm. My dogs would have loved a good snow storm :)

  3. The hem line is so beautiful. I love how it dips lower in the back! Also, those tights are gorgeous. I'm still jealous of that snow! Sometimes it's nice that we never get extreme weather in San Francisco, but I do miss the snow terribly.

  17. hey pretty snow bunny!!! looking lovely as ever in that awesome shade of blue...total stylish brand essence too ; ) mmmmmmmmmm, Ruche, the name alone feels good to say. your dress is a beaut and the whole look is terrifically put together.

    dag, that B for D sounded amazing, we do that sometimes but yours sounded especially decadent. yum! oh and i'd love to see Juice running around in the snow, hilarious things came to mind when you mentioned that. Juice making snow angels??? bahaha. i've seen the Usual Suspects a bunch of times, they just don't make movies like that very often. total surprise ending and wizard, Kevin Spacey, is a triumph!!! xo ♥
