I like to get my shopping done early. For the design freak in your life…

Spring forward…

I promise, I’m wearing a sweater and tights to work today. I promise that I won’t talk too much about spring. I promise, I get it: it’s still October.
But oh, I had to had to had to post this picture from kate spade’s Spring 2012 Collection. I want this dress, with a desire that is reserved for dresses and dresses only. It’s the print that gets me. Those huge flowers, flowing and growing over the expanse of ruffles. It kills me.
It won’t look good on me, I’m pretty certain. Drop waists are really not meant for a girl with curves and I know from when I worked at kate that their dresses aren’t cut for gals who, how do I put this delicately, have more than a tea cup “up there”…
But that doesn’t keep me from swooning over it. (or the basket in that perfect lime green they always do)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled Fall programming…

There’s no place like…

Home. Technically I’m back home. But truthfully I get confused about what and where home is. Is it where your heart is? I feel like different parts of my heart resides in different places, so it can’t be so cut and dried. And it can’t be as simple as where I lay my head. Can it?
If we are talking about a place where I am surrounded by like minds and feel comforted, then Portland is home. If it is where I live with my husband, furry children and tend to my banana trees, then it is Miami.
Where would you end up if you clicked your heels three times á la Dorthy?
