Although I am a fan of simply white kitchens, I must admit I have grown to love this unique and extraordinaire kitchen. The only downfall is, if I had a kitchen such as this one, I would probably order take out food every day to avoid messing it up. What do you think, is this your dream kitchen or simply a museum masterpiece?
I am not one to dress symbolically, but on occasion will throw in accessories which are a subtle reminder of a national celebration. Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate the holiday.

I don’t usually post on the weekends, but lately I’ve been thinking to revamp my blog. It’s not that I don’t like the one I currently have, but change is always good and I am a huge fan of change. So stand by for a couple of days while I toss up the idea of taking the leap.
I go through many phases while contemplating my life and since “the wedding” last month, I have been in a retro mood, so it’s no surprise that I would fall madly in-love with the below photos, which I found here.
I am not sure who the creative mind behind the photographs is, but based on the style, Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue most definitely comes to mind. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it if you would drop me a line or two.
Anyway, love these fashion photos which take me back to an amazing era in fashion.
I am often drawn to places, like cafe’s, boutique stores, art studios and unique shops, which are creatively decorated and if I were given the chance to create a welcoming cafe, I would draw my inspiration from:
checkered floor
This table and mis matched stools and magazine rack
a corner booth and chandelier
the couch, side chair and torch light
floral arrangement with an accent wall
I take film watching very seriously as we know it here and so, before anyone judges, I have a few things to say about the film Mirror Mirror and it’s impact on me (a woman over 40).
First, let’s clarify, the film, is really not one to run to the movie theater for, but outside of that fact and of course in my opinion, it is a comedic take on a middle-aged woman’s struggles to stay desirable and loved in the world of the “Snow Whites” (meaning the younger woman).
Subliminal, the message may be, I couldn’t help but walk away feeling nothing but sorry for the “Evil” step mother, who seemed misunderstood and mostly lonely, in this version of The Snow White story.

I really, really tried to fight the urge to buy an I-pad but today, I just gave in and placed my order. What can I say I-ME 
with my I-Starbucks, riding the I-train to my I-work every I-Day.
What do you think, can anyone else invent a product(s) which will be in demand as ANYTHING Apple?
You know what I hate about the competitive world? It’s that we have to always crown a single winner from a list of the best. Well, since that is the case, I am having a difficult time accepting that there could only be one winner per category for this year’s Oscars.
I mean if you happen to be a film buff, like myself, you tend to question, how Clooney’s performance was better than Brad Pitts and that Jean Dujardin may beat both of them as a result of his performance in The Artist
Can we actually say Viola Davis was better than Meryl Streep or Glen Close, even when young actresses like Michelle Williams and Rooney Mara did an outstanding job in their roles as well?
And how about Christopher Plummer and Kenneth Branagh or Nick Nolte for that matter, and should Jonah Hill really be included in the running for Best Actor in a Supporting role right alongside those seasoned actors?
Seriously, is Martin Scorsese more talented than Woody Allen, or is Hugo a better film than Tintin? And who can truly judge foreign films, when most American’s shy away from seeing them in the first place and sometimes it’s shown with limited engagement and distribution. Do you get my point?
Anyway, if it were left up to me, I would give the Oscar to everyone nominated for this year’s Academy. It was truly an amazing year in films and performances and from where I am sitting, each and every one of you deserve the recognition.
There is nothing like clicking away at my keyboard and accidentally stumbling upon a website or a blog which simply lights up my face. I did just that when I came across, fififlowers blog here.
The first thing that came to mind is, finally I found the artist I want to design my first novel cover and after flipping through her artwork, I definiately know she will be the one to design the cover.
Check out some of my favorites and then click here to hopefully see some of yours.
