Because September wasn't busy enough...
The Cpt and I bought a house. And then we got married and threw a wedding for 140 people. Now, we’re frantically staging and listing the condo and jet setting off to sunny San Francisco for our honeymoon. I don’t want a honeymoon - I want an Alixmoon. There will be *plenty* of what I wore pics from San Fran - and a bigger mirror in our new house :) A few snaps to keep you moderately...

Learning about things that I don’t want to learn...
Why is it – I keep reading books written by female comedians that I love and hating them. I love Tina Fey – I absolutely hated Bossy Pants. I love Chelsea Handler, I couldn’t even make it half way through Are You There, Vodka… . Why do I hate these books so much? The books are comparatively, very different. Tina Fey tell hers life story in a linear fashion. Chelsea Handler recalls (drunk and...

Our wildest dreams
Are they though? They are saying that the reason women around the globe love Kate Middleton so much is because she is the anti-Kardashian. She is the epitome of more is more, that classy is indeed cool. Refined is the word of the day. Whomever they are, I agree with them. But even though we have almost a decade of archival Kate Middleton fashion choices, she’s been consistent. She never went...

This is singing to me….
Image via Not Just a Housewife – find the how-to here. I am loving this. I can see something like it attached to the sunny side of a backyard shed or garage or even on a back porch, non? Larger jars with vines and smaller jars with smaller flowers covering the entire wall of the shed *romantic*. It will go perfectly with my new yard. It reminds of those rather avant-garde, slightly hoity-toity...

Oh. Summer’s still here…
But who’s kidding who? Just because we’ve had 25+ degree weather for the last week doesn’t mean your greasy bathing suit tops and filthy flip flops are still at all appropriate. Regardless of the temperature, a season is still a season – you need to let go of summer and starting transitioning into Fall. I have. It was 28 degrees on Wednesday and I was in my Cole Haan riding boots, dark skinny...

I whip my hair back and forth…
So I was singing this song in my office today – and the 19 year old admin assistant who is constantly explaining to me how I rude I am took the liberty of explaining to me that my singing that song / “whipping my hair back and forth” was also rude. Note: I was not whipping my hair back and forth in the list. Well, I was boobing it back and forth and due to my centre part and the fact that I...

Fall Obsession No. 1– cable knit sweaters
Just give me 8000 of them in every colour of the rainbow. There is something cozy, classic, elegant and sporty about these sweaters, and for something so straight forward, they paint a very defined picture of the person wearing them. Casual, sophisticated. I’ve obviously been giving this a lot of thought. I just gravitate toward them. All of those descriptive words are how these sweaters make me...
