Wedding Wear

Wedding season is upon us. While I need to start taking care of many other things (highlights, acne, general largeness in the hips, pedicures) the most important thing to nail down is the ensemble. While I am lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in a dear friends August wedding, there are a few others fetes for which I will need to buy, or re-fab summer dresses. The above Jcrew floor length number is simply gorgeous, but seriously, what is with JCrew and the price increase? $575? Girl, please. I need to find similar for less. After all, I don't do well in extreme heat - like my dear puggie Wyn - and I'll need to figure out that fine line between dressing for the heat, and coping out cause you're so hot your clothes stick to you - and you blew all the fuses in the apartment while blowdrying in front of the AC.

Oh and thankfully, both weddings are pretty much country mouse events - in all their glory! Most of the happenings will be outside, in lovely fields, near the ocean, and in a VERY special place, we like to call "the hill."

Through the Wire

TATUM O'NEILL WEARS WIRE RING

Tatum is going through a pretty hard time right now. Caught with crack - first, because she was rehearsing a role, second, because her dog died, and third, because she is an addict. In any case - Tatum obviously needs help - but what better way than to wear perfectly hand crafted jewelry, like that seen on her right ring finger. The wrapping technique is fairly common - but with the right stone - looks absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if she made it herself? Certainly a good way to keep her hands busy and calm her cravings!

The last time I thought about this woman was when she was in the FX show Rescue Me. I loved that show, that is until it got way too deep, and scary. Fires? Child deaths? Ghosts? More fires? Not right before bed, please. But you know what isn't scary in that show? Gorgeous Daniel Sunjata.

Heat Induced Decorating

I write while absolutely roasting in my apartment. There are a few old window units, making their attempt at air conditioning, but it's more of what I imagine the air in Kirkut to feel like, just blowing around. Yes, I am one of those people who like to incessantly comment on just how hot it is. I can't help it.

Such 90+ degree heat is perfect for moving heavy bedroom furniture up a few flights of stairs. I am working on completing the summer look for my bedroom. I am a firm believer in switching your bedding for the seasons. I am also known to move my room around as often as possible. Apparently most people arrange their furniture and park it there but I wish everything I owned was on wheels as to better serve my ever-changing decorating ideas.
I picked some small glass vases up at Target today (where everyone else in the entire city went to enjoy true AC) and some shells and stones. I filled these jars so that when I wake up, for a few minutes, I might think of my heaven - Crane's Beach - and not the morning traffic.
