Oh, it's great to find a piece that you love. Mine is something old too. Kind of a baggy thermal top that has seen it's better days, but I love it, especially to wear at home. Oh, I used to wear it out, more, but since the pandemic it's been my favorite sweater like to cuddle in any time of the year with a good book. Of course, the older I get the harder it is for me to find that perfect book. However I am reading the thriller SPARE ROOM.
I did get to see Barbie twice. Once with a youngster who brought his Slim Ken who gave me much more insight than I expected (I'm thinking he was too young to see it..he's seven) Still, in his book the Kens won. Second time was with an old friend. Although, I'm beginning to think our friendship might have expired now. She still can't taste anything since Covid so she is not in the best mood. Although, I can't say I LOVED the Barbie movie, but it most definitely got people and girls night out for many this hot summer. It is cute with qualms.
AGAIN! You look adorable in this. Any chance you will make one from this pattern?
Such a cute dress! I can see why you still love it! I have a number of pieces that I've reworn over the years but I do have a special affection for all my Citizens of Humanity jeans.
It is SUCH a gorgeous dress. I can definitely understand why you love it so much! You have the most beautiful pieces in your wardrobe! the creation of beauty is art.
If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?
I've been having a hard time getting motivated to post anything at all these days. I've deleted X on my phone, and am on Bluesky now, but even then, I don't really post much there. (I've stopped posting on Instagram and Facebook years ago, and don't have a TikTok/) Even having a hard time posting consistently on my Art YouTube channel. I do have a small Catholic YouTube channel, and another small "fish" channel (and I use that term lightly coz I mostly post random stuff about our shubunkin goldfishes), but even then, these days, I just want to go "off the grid" :( That is all.
Shannon, from The Creation of Beauty Is Art , is not only an awesome beauty blogger, she is also kind enough to nominate me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you, Shannon:) Here are the questions she posted for us to answer. What is the last great book you read? The last great book I read was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Do you have an all time favourite lipstick shade? My fave lipstick shade of all-time is Bite Beauty's Chai. If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and what would you say to them? If I could meet one celeb, it would be...hmmmm....probably Barack Obama. Does he count? I just wanna thank him for being such an inspiration, and maybe convince him to come back:P I'm Canadian, but I care about US politics too. What blog post of yours are you most proud of? The blog post I'm most proud of is probably this one :D Do you prefer shopping at Sephora, MAC, or the drugstore? Why? I prefer shopping...

I find I have a few pieces from fast fashion brands that are a few years old and still going - quality has definitely changed nowadays!
