Who says you have to have a traditional handbag? Why not convert a soccer ball/football into a bag? I spied this one bag at the Chloé Spring 2012 show. Talk about a DIY project! Speaking of projects, I’m busy working on finalizing photos for an exhibit, “To The Nines” that I’m having at the Boston Center for Adult Education from March 5 – April 20. If you’re local, hope you’ll be able to stop by to see the photos.
Happy New Year! I’m coming off of about a week of doing absolutely nothing. Glorious days of no make-up, no appointments, no emails, no Twitter, no blogging…well, there was that one post….oh, and there were those tweets, I sent somewhere along the way….Ummm, yeah, there was a bit of Facebooking going on too. *le sigh*
OK, OK, so it wasn’t completely all no-work but Honey and I did enjoy cooking our hearts out. There was homemade bread, olive oil cake, Haitian favorites such as legume (a beef/vegetable stew) and accra fritters, bucatini all’amatriciana and an Australian meat pie…..let’s just say we’re both going to hit the gym enthusiastically in the new year.
Many wonderful things happened last year. There were TV appearances on WCVB’s Chronicle and Greater Boston, and an exhibit of my work to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the blog. We were featured on CNN.com’s Living page, in Wellesley Magazine (my alma mater), and in the Boston Globe. There were the trips to Australia, to Spain, to Venezuela and to Paris Fashion Week. You’ll remember it is during my trip to Paris that I ran away from the Sartorialist and Garance Dore. Oh, during this trip, I met Honey’s mate, Bill Cunningham and many other super stars in the fashion world. I know I’ve left a few things off the list but I reaaaalllllllly do hope that next year will be just as exciting as last.
Thank you for hanging in there and for supporting the blog through your thoughtful comments! I look forward to talking with you through this medium and via email in the coming months. For 2012, I have a few things planned for you, including another exhibit, more style profiles, and more fabulous photos. In the meantime, enjoy I hope you have wonderful things planned for 2012!
PS The above photo was taken in Paris. As I stare at this photo, I realize more and more that I truly have a thing for jackets. I have yet to purchase a smoking jacket though. And in white at that?! Hmmmm…..I may have to try it out in the new year.
Meet Michael T. Nartey a bespoke tailor, owner and creative director of T Michael operating out of Norway. I’ve been meaning to go to Oslo, and I just might, simply to have tea with Mr. Nartey. Honey and I ran into him as we were walking through the streets of Paris.
I love Mr. Nartey’s salt and pepper hair. Very distinguished indeed.
Boy do the Melbournites love their black. I think my sister and I are among the few to sport bright colored clothes here in the City. I had a lovely day hanging out on Lygon Street and Brunswick Street. I took some photos that I hope to share with you later in the week. Yikes! It’s Wednesday already?! Where has the week gone? And since it’s very late for me right now (I believe it’s pushing 11pm and with the jet lag, it feels muuuuch later), I’ll say good night!
Btw, this lovely photo was taken in Paris.
I’m in Oz. Whoo hoo! I’ve already over-dosed on Tim Tams and visited my favorite restaurant here in Melbourne. Today we’re off to the Yarra Valley to do a bit of wine tasting. In the meantime, enjoy this colorful photo of Ezzie Chidi-Ofong.
