Then and Now

May 4, 2012 by Elaine

I think we get more brave as we get older.  More confident.  More secure in our own skin.  I know I have. The other night I posted this photo on instagram and twitter. I’m wearing that “cramazing” (crazy & amazing make one word!) shoe and its mate to a shindig this weekend for Tim’s company….

I made her a skirt…

March 15, 2012 by Elaine

During K’s last real crib nap on Saturday (yeah, the big girl bed and big girl naps do NOT go hand-in-hand so far…) I mustered up the courage to use my sewing machine again. MONTHS ago I pinned an easy skirt idea and bought the supplies and everything. But I had a few problems with my…

Hair Accessories for Her & Me – Coco Penny

June 20, 2011 by Elaine

A few weeks ago I tweeted that I was looking for some new hair accessories for K to wear in her hair.  I had some cute ones from an Etsy shop but many of them have come unglued and I wasn’t too happy with the quality. Thankfully, Tracy was there for me.  She does have…

Blinded by the Socks

August 25, 2008 by Elaine

I don’t mention fashion and style very much here on the blog simply because it hasn’t been THAT big a part of my life in a while. Of course I like to dress nice when the hubs and I go out or I meet friends for dinner but let’s face it, the daily wardrobe does…
