I know you don't "do" Facebook sister. I do but I'm one of those people who posts nothing but checks daily to see what other people have to say. Of all my friends (as though I have a lot), it's the same handful of people who post. In the beginning, I had to do "a little less" of some people. Clearly there are full time Facebook junkies out there. Who has that kind of time? Here is a post I read today that made me laugh:

Just found tweets littered with lots of FU's from my new nanny complaining about her job. Can't wait to welcome her home today with a "You're Fired Bonehead!"

yikes!

I know Twitter is where it's at --- what do you think sister. Time to tweat?

The Bun is Back!!!!

Yes, sister it is true! The bun is back. While paging through the September issue of Bazaar, I spied it.."The Return of the Bun" by Elisa Lipsky- Karasz. Almost fell off my beach chair. You know all too well how this t rocked a bun for so many years, we lost count. One day, you gave me the tough news --> my beloved bun had to go. I needed something chic and short. And, ta da! here I am.

I am ecstatic about the bun's return. I miss my bun. While I work on growing out my hair, here are a few pointers from the article..

* a "high" bun seems to be the way to go - it accentuates the face

* the bun shouldn't be so severe as to look like a librarian
* imperfections are stylish

* a bun adds confidence to most outfits

I am ready for the return of the bun. Grow hair, grow!!!!

MISC

About 24 days into the school year. The novelty has worn off. Homework, quizzes and tests under the belt. Round 2 underway. I am officially in 8th, 3rd and 1st grade all over again. Is it a nightmare? Wake up! I (we) can do this.

On the positive, did you watch The Emmy Awards last night? I always love a red carpet. It was apparently sweltering hot in sunny California. How about all the bright colors ... lots of yellow, tangerine. Fashion Police on E! tonight will surely be entertaining.

Also, did you catch the preview of Taylor Swift's next new song on GMA (I did not but I just googled it). It is called Begin Again and goes on sale tonight at midnight on iTunes.

Last but not least, Kate whacked me in the face last night by accident ... I think I have the "dead tooth"! I have pain shooting up my nose.

I miss summer!

Do you spy the eyeball eraser?

Behind Closed Doors

Did you spy the article by Sarah Harris ~ fashion features editor at British Vogue ~in the recent NYT's Style Magazine? It was about her closet. Deep breath. On the bright side, her closet isn't that large (judging from the photograph) and she shares it with her husband. We seem to have a couple things in common for starters.

A few interesting points.. She has "commandments" about how the closet runs so to speak. She likes to hang new purchases outside of the closet to enjoy them for awhile. She color-codes and arranges clothing according to length. After wearing something, she allows it to air out before folding/hanging.

Well, Ms. Harris certainly inspired this t. A rainy day was just the motivation for a much-needed closet overhaul. Summer items were sorted and packed away. Plenty of has-beens went into the Goodwill bag. Tops, pants, skirts and sweaters were organized by color, length and style. And, ta da!! A closet to be proud of. Thank you Sarah!

PS if you missed reading the article, I saved my copy and would be happy to share. :)

PSS Ed's side of the closet isn't looking too bad either..wonder if he read the same article.
