To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. - Audrey Hepburn

Every year, for almost as long as I can remember now, I have spent the early days of March cultivating baby plants in the windows of my home. As the tiny seeds sprout above the soil, raising their heads to the sun, a promise is made for the coming of Spring and the bounty of Summer that will quickly follow. You don't take the time to toil in a garden unless you believe in tomorrow, because otherwise what would be the point? Every new arrival brings hope of what will follow; whether a plant, vegetable, fruit or tuber, each one holds a promise. Sometimes I think the promise is of course dinner on a distant Summer night with friends out under the stars, and other times I simply think it is a vow of more beautiful days to come. Which can warm the blood even in the darkest of cold March nights. This year, with neck surgery in April, I decided to not give life to any new plants this year since I know I will be away far too much and not quite as mobile for some time. This doesn't keep me from peeking in my neighbors yards or from checking the yard to see what has made it through a harsh mountain Winter, after all, the hope of a beautiful Summer lies napping just beyond our sight!

This adorably flirty ultra mini dress from Rayne Couture is an absolute MUST have addition to your wardrobe this Spring if you are wanting to entice and yet keep your most valuable assets hidden! The pouf skirt is daringly short but with the wide pleats you don't show off anything you don't want to as you walk around the grid. You of course will have issues when you sit, but seriously who would want to when you look this cute?! I know I didn't! The dress comes in a variety of colors that will fit perfectly into your closet this Spring, so do yourself a favor and head by the main store today and take a "Chance!"

The Details

Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

Ocean Loft Set by [CIRCA] @ Color Me Project

I was fortunate enough in my youth to get to travel all over the world, but one of my favorite places was Maui, where we spent every Christmas. I have always loved decorating one room in the house, usually the one with the most windows in bright floral prints and solids with rattan and wood bases and no matter where you look in my home you will find plants, flowering and not. These little things make me happy and give me those warm and fuzzies of home that I truly love. The newest release from [CIRCA] for the Color Me Project reminds me a lot of those days on Maui and it made me a bit nostalgic for those times with my toes curled in the sand with no cares in the world.

Still trying to find her wings

Like the rest of you who live in the U.S., fourteen years ago tonight we all went to sleep with a false sense of security that we were untouchable. When the smoke cleared that morning in New York, the towers were gone and the wings of America's majestic Eagle had been stripped as we stood vulnerable and for the first time equal to the rest of the world. Since that day, it could be said that we are still searching for our wings, still trying to regain our grace. That day marked the start of a paradigm shift in my life as on November 9th of that same year I lost my son's father and the love of my life. It could be said that within a few months everything I knew and believed in was challenged and that I too lost my wings and have been searching for them since. Maybe it is the date, or the fact this ensemble from Jinx made me think of Malificent when her wings were stripped; or perhaps the haunting eyes from Lone Wolf Studios that pay tribute to the fallen towers, but I have stumbled into a bit of a melancholy mood tonight as I think about how many lost their wings that day and how many gained them. Maybe, that is the answer.... For all those to get into heaven that day, thousands had to lose their way, their "wings" if you will, and that finding your way back is the key... For now, I think I might hear a fluttering in the distance and I am hoping I can reunite someone with their wings tonight. After all, isn't it the perfect night for that?

Indulging in a moment of Summertime melancholia

The past week has set my bi-polar disorder a swinging to and fro which as most people know, irritates the hell out of me. I take things in stride and have managed my emotions through communication with others and listening to my body for years, but stress often sets me a bit off kilter and my meter is reading "TILT" much like an old pinball machine. The icing on the cake this week was having to go have a sleep study done last night to check out what goes on in the wee hours of the night and why I don't really sleep. I haven't been told what time to go to bed since I was 18 years old and still living at home, so when the technician said, "Lights out." at 9:30 pm I had a moment of wtf are you thinking, then closed my eyes and said, to myself, "Alright, let's see how this goes." I have no idea how long it took me to fall asleep but it was not restful and I am exhausted today, again. That has been a constant state of being lately, and I have to say I was truly hoping I would get some good rest last night. My body, however, often has a mind of it's own and last night it decided to pick a fight! So today, as I was going through my picture pile up I realized that I am feeling completely uninspired today and down, so instead of trying to fight it and come up with a shoddy piece of work, I decided to share with you my current mood.


Poolside @ The Twin's Estate

It's funny, most people don't really know what causes their down swings, but with self awareness and sitting alone with yourself and think about your current situation, what you thought has brought you down is most likely NOT the true reason behind your sudden dip. For me, Summers make me think of couple's and weddings; picnics in the park and date nights, which being single, this can often turn me a bit melancholy. But as many of you know, I am not one to fight that downturn, as I know it will always reverse itself in time. So down to the mainland I went from my platform in the sky and to the pool to curl up and ponder the universe for awhile in this gorgeous new bikini from Jinx! The suit is an exclusive at Color Me Project and it comes with a 6 color/pattern change HUD for ONLY $99L until the 6th of July when the event ends. Do yourself a favor and go check out the event and get your hands on all kinds of goodies and make sure when you stop by Jinx, to check out the little hidden discount, rumor has it a starfish holds the key!
