3D And All In Paris
So I reference the Purse Forum a lot at my blog because it’s been a great research and social tool for me in all things accessories. One of the unexpected benefits to membership there has been finding friends from all walks of life, with all sorts of...
La Saint-Feuillen 2012
Since its inception in the 1500s, every seven years the devoted folks around the Belgian city of Fosses-la-Ville would come together for the grand procession of Saint Feuillen. The march commemorates and re-enacts the townspeople’s procession in the year 656 to...
Golden Boy
Before we circle back to Stockholm, let’s take a quick fashion break and enjoy some eye candy from my recent jaunt to the boutique in Brussels, which has become my other “home” boutique. My sales associate had searched high and low three months ago...
Stockholm Archipelago
If I had a few weeks to explore Scandinavia, I’d like nothing better than to island hop my way from Denmark to Finland. But since I only have a few days here, I figure the next best thing is to dip my toe into the Baltic Sea by way of a cruise along the...
Hej! Hej Stockholm!
I never did read the cult classic Girl With Dragon Tattoo nor have ever wandered too far north of the Baltic Sea for that matter, but on a recent Sunday I find myself among very tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed strangers walking down the medieval streets of...

Sick, Sick, Sick
So for a while back I did that whole FIMTSO series to detox myself from the habit of buying in multiples. I blamed it on the refugee mentality (hoarding for an unpredictable future…albeit for necessities like food rations), the Imelda Marcos curse (because I...
Interview: The Seven Letter Project
As you may have noticed, I never really identify anyone by his or her full name at my blog. But today I’ll make an exception because I think you should know this name. Ennis Howard, Jr. is my brother from another mother. And father. That is to say he’s...
Road To Adoption
For a while now I’ve been writing about the quest for my first (the eternal optimist that I am) Hermès bag. If I hadn’t been carrying on this dalliance with Chanel for so long I probably would have had a Birkin, a Kelly, and a Lindy in my closet by now....
Get To The Good Stuff
It’s still all good. Family is managing, work is better than ever, furkids still remember me…and so I’m back. A lot has happened, quite intensely in the last six weeks, so I had to stop blogging a bit to just take a vacay from my thoughts. Writing...
