Haikuesday

It sort of feels like…

Tourist season is officially over, macaroons! No more event weekends for a while, no more shoobies! I’m refocusing on bettering my life & escape, much to the dismay of the Magician. I’ve scored something of a writing gig, but keep your fingers crossed for a truly stellar opportunity for me! [...]

♠Fashion Friday: Hayden-Harnett Appreciation♠

So much severe love for this coat ♥

Macaroons, let’s take a moment to stand back & appreciate what Hayden-Harnett does for us. I’ve been carrying their handbags for at least 5 years now. In fact, all these years later & I’m using the very first bag I ever purchased from them right now! [...]

Keep Your Dreams Alive!

The only way to go…is up!

It’s a shoddy economy. You can’t get a job without experience & can’t get experience without a job (not that there are many jobs anyway). It’s a vicious cycle & it’s easier than ever to become run down, frustrated & defeated. Chin up, macaroons!

Don’t give up on your [...]

Friends are phenomenal!

Another week, another set of poems like an opened can of worms or row of abandoned homes. This week has an unintentional theme, my little macaroons- Macaroons! Friends are truly an astonishing institution. They’ll be brutally honest, fight for you, laugh with you & sometimes, as I learned recently, send angry [...]

♠Fashion Friday: NYFW Highlights♠

Shrug off the cardboard, burlap & suspender barrels!

The city survived another stampede of high fashion, higher heels & heinous paparazzi. Now, macaroons, we can safely salivate over our favorite pieces…without accidentally drooling on Lindsay Lohan who is sitting in front of us. Here are my highlights of the week:

Anna Sui’s show was some [...]

Haikuesday!

*vroom vroom!*

Well, I survived the week (barely- between the island almost sinking in floodwater & my car accident- not my fault, for the record) & yet… somehow ended up having a lot of fun & swearing off hot dogs forever! So much for the 9 inning challenge. Things are picking up around here. I’m [...]

♠ Fashion Friday: A Light in your Attic!♠

My present is candyfuture!

Thinking much lately about Lime Crime makeup founder Doe Deere’s idea of Candyfuturism, I’ve started to reinvent my own vision of my future, the world, fashion etc… & of course, it’s all infused with magic. What might be fashionable if we were living in 3092 (the height of futuregrunge I hope!)?

I was a shy child. I also loved candy. Predicament!

Imagine the joy of walking up to a brightly lit box,  sticking a couple of quarters into the slot and having your pick of any candy you wanted without having to ask anyone. It’s the ultimate freedom for a 7-year-old, assuming you [...]

Haikuesday!

Goodbye to summer & all it meant to me.

Well, macaroons, we’ve made it through another summer. Summers are notoriously harrowing for me & often bring heartbreak, pain & overwhelming challenges. However, I’m still here, better than ever & ready to change with the season.

Survived another
dark summer & now I can
walk into the sun.

Marbling chocolate
