Stylish Blogger Award

We've solved all our technical hitches and we're back keener than ever!  Thanks for your patience.

Tamuna from A Journey To Style kindly nominated me for the Stylish Bloggers' Award. Thank you Tamuna! My assignment is to share seven things you may not know about me.


1. I am the opposite of A-type. I take a nap here every day at around 1pm.


2. I never wear black. (this idea is shamelessly borrowed from Kayce)


3. I kind of said I had been a chef on a private yacht in order to get a job as a chalet girl in Champery, Switzerland. Which might not have been quite true...at all. (me at right)

4. I started my hairdo adventures early - see my fringe (bangs) at left.

5. My first date with Kevin in London was a Highgate Cemetery tour followed by fillet of fish...at McDonald's.


6.  When Harley was three months, we accompanied Kevin on a business trip to a Swiss castle-hotel. Harley got a little tummy thing and massively pooped yellow all over the pristine white carpet. I spent ages cleaning it up, only making it worse. I might have said it was yogurt stains...


7. At age 17, I was an AFS exchange student in New Canaan, Connecticut. I sprayed my hair with "Sun In" all summer. It actually turned red instead of platinum blond so my lovely host "sister" Jeannie and I actually did look like sisters. Homecoming picture.


I would love to pass the award along to:

Katie at k.t. blue
Sarah at BobbyRobin
JoAnn at IdRatherBeShopping
Vivienne of Vivienneart
Rebecca of The Daily Muse
Janelle of Ramblings of a Redhead
Quentin of Quentin Curtis Bacon
The Suburb Experiment
Michelle at Crystal Glamour

    Thank you for passing on this award to me and it's fun to see your seven things! I can't say I never wear black. I have a lot of black shoes, belts, and bags. But a little black dress? Nope.

    Hi there! ... a belated note to say thanks for stopping by, and I'm glad you found me! I also live in CA, (southern but we go up north often- to visit family). Happy to have met you and discovered your blog!

    Love this post... especially Sun-In part. :)

    hi! regarding maxis: browsing your photos...you seem tall and slender, so you should have no problem wearing them! i've found that maxis with a empire waist or fitted bodice with a slight a-line look best. you can also create a waist by cinching with a skinny belt. i ALWAYS wear heels - higher the better, and make sure the dress hits just above the ground. too short and it will look funny. you can also look for a v-neck which elongates the look. you don't necessarily need a pattern, but if you do, choose small prints...and when in doubt, black always looks good! here's one i wore with a v-neck:
