saga: white outfit inspiration

I just read a graphic novel for the first time. It’s called Saga, vol. 1, by Brian K. Vaughan. It was cool! Ever the speed reader, I had to remind myself to not just read the text, but to really take a look at the images. It’s kind of a love, adventure, space travel, warContinue reading “saga: white outfit inspiration”

rooftops and new skirts

I had a lovely weekend. A great friend came into town, I ate a lot of really good food, and I spent an inordinate amount of time on rooftops. This particular rooftop view is from the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the summer, they open the roof for drinks and sculpture onContinue reading “rooftops and new skirts”

the cuckoo’s calling part 2

We enter part 2 of The Cuckoo’s Calling (Kindle here, my thoughts on part 1 here) to follow our heroes while they gather more clues.

the cuckoo’s calling part 1

It is a not so secret desire of mine to become a police detective. It is my back up plan, my alternate universe career, and the subject of quite a few daydreams. I can’t stop watching cop shows or reading murder mysteries. (And yeah, I know that’s not exactly how it works in real life.)Continue reading “the cuckoo’s calling part 1”

project life: may

It’s been a very busy summer. A wonderful, fun-filled, busy summer. I’m a little behind on project life, but these are the pages I made from a weekend trip in May. This was to celebrate my best friend Jewels‘ upcoming wedding. We had so much fun. There was so much more I could have included,Continue reading “project life: may”

miss blue glass and miss green glass

In Boy’s Life, which I totally loved, two sisters named Sonia and Katherina Glass were almost perfect mirror images of each other–except one always wore blue and the other green. Now that is style. They adopted a uniform, dressed as themselves, and went with it. Plus monochrome can really be a great look. I don’tContinue reading “miss blue glass and miss green glass”
