Christmas Eve, I worked until 3pm and then headed to the insanely busy grocery store to get the needed supplies for the next day (my responsibility was Bloody Mary supplies and hors d’ourves for the brunch). True Maryland Bloody Mary – mix, Old Bay seasoning, celery, olives, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and even an… Continue Reading Christmas
I knew I would be one of the only people in the office, so figured a super great outfit wasn’t necessary. Black silk/tencel tee from Banana Republic, denim trousers from Gap, black city boots from Impo, gold hoops, gold necklace from Express, gold bangles from Ralph Lauren. Hair was washed and conditioned, a tiny bit… Continue Reading Monday
Friday after work I headed across the street for a Happy Hour with friends. There were about a dozen of us and we had a great time. I wore what I wore to work, a quick swipe of MAC Blot Powder and my lipgloss to look a bit more pulled together. I stayed there… Continue Reading This Weekend Dec 24, 2007
Reader Allyson asked about my shoe collection. She is trying to figure out what she needs versus what she wants.

dark orange scoopneck merino sweater from Marshall’s, tan tweedy looking trousers from Ann Taylor, black city boots from Impo, gold bangles from Ralph Lauren, gold hoops from my mom (she bought them, found them to be too big for her tastes and gave them to me). Hair was washed and conditioned, a bit of Jonathan… Continue Reading Thursday

Hair is second day, I straightened the bangs, left the rest as bedhead and even in creased the bedhead look by… Continue Reading Wednesday
Another very cold day in the Nation’s Capital! I did prepare my house with having the curtains closed all day, draft dodgers under the outside doors and doors closed to rooms we don’t use. I think this weekend I’ll go buy some of that plastic to shrink wrap around the windows – I did that… Continue Reading Tuesday
Today is cold. Super cold. I live in an old house from the 40s and in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings is a Cromalox heater. They are run by temperature, so they kick on to achieve the temp you set it at. There is no “off,” you just turn it to 40 degrees. Come now,… Continue Reading Monday
Saturday, my sister and I went to the mall, then had a late lunch at our favorite Greek diner. We came back to my place for a movie night and a late-evening snack of oranges, samosas and a nice bottle of Spanish wine (for those who want to know, we saw Hairspray and Waitress). She… Continue Reading Sunday
