After months of complaining about rain- we have our California sun back. I opened the sun roof in my car, some windows in the house, and put on flip flops. This spring like weather may not last, February can still be quite winter like. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the sun and stock up on springtime clothing. There was a run on shorts in the J. Crew store today. One warm day, and the summer clothes sells out. My Uggs have been placed in the back of my closet. I hope that I will not need them this week.
I wish that they made shoes in this size for Darrow. Skimbaco carries these shoes, and we had them at our last fund raising sale. Not only are the they cute, but they are soft and flexible.
My kids are all quite different. There is one thing that they share, a bizarre love for Converse sneakers. My husband wears them as well. Perhaps it is time for me to get a pair and join the Converse craze that has swept my home.
I have been admiring Tory Burch's designs for a while.The simple, yet elegant designs remind me of clothes that Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn might have worn. I have to at least own a pair of Tory Burch's flats--they are a must have item.(Guess I will return something to Nordstrom in exchange for those flats. ) I read a piece in the NYT magazine about Tory's glamorous, society lifestyle.She has the lifestyle to accompany the clothes. I can buy the clothes, but my lifestyle is quite different. Her glamorous life comes through in the clothes she designs. Good to feel glamorous every once in a while...
I swore I would never wear them, never buy them, why would I ? UGG boots were hip and trendy a few years ago, now they are just everywhere. They are ugly. They are not cheap. I could not understand why so many people are wearing them. I am seeing them on seemingly normal women- not just the I try to hard, my pants are too low, top too tight mid life crisis moms. A Mom in Beck's class swears that they are the most comfortable shoes ever. I need something warm to wear to school drop offs with my old sweats. I used to throw on my trusty flip flops, but flip flops and frost do not mix. So what is a Mom to do.( I do not wear sneakers unless I am exercising, so unless I am trying to fool people, I should not be wearing sneakers. ) I decided that the next best thing to driving in my slippers, would be a pair of UGGs. The damn shoes were sold out everywhere. After alot of searching, I found a pair on amazon. They arrived today, and wow, those are comfy. I may wear them to bed. Now Darrow wants a pair too.
