Gems

Joe gives me question every now and then about what I want to do...In Brussels when we moved back to Minneapolis I was going to start an non-profit.  Here in LA I would like to make and design jewerly.  Not the bead kind at art fairs, ones with gems and metal. I'm currently looking for classes that are reasonable and close.  The ring above is a little bit more that I would do but you get the idea

This is my website I'm addicted to jtv.com Check it out when you have a chance.  

closet

I know I told you this house we are renting in not the best but I feel in love with the closets! Here are some photos, the closets are across from each other in a hall way leading to the master bath. Kind of like a walk in closet. I would like to make the walk way hard wood, however we didn't have enough left from the dining room floor so I will have to mention it some day to our landlord.

Beach Ready

Thursday I decided to get a pair of jeans ready for the beach. That means I cut them so they are just above my ankle bone and frayed them. I showed them to Joe and he said "you know if we had kids and they did that to their expensive jeans I would be furious!" 

Helped the little frayed area be bigger on the pocket

The bottom of my jeans all nice and frayed. I was going to make capri's but I decided to start with them being a little longer like floods.

The finished product all ready for the beach!!!  

bright dress

This dress just came the other day. It really isn't as bright as it looks in the photo. The belt is awesome and it also needs to be fixed. You know I'm just not that big in the top, but living in the land of big tops I just might need to get some. The down side is that then my clothes wouldn't fit.

Alterations

I need your help to decided which skirt I should bring in first to get altered. 

This one is part wool it might be good for fall not summer

The color is red, orange and greenish brown color-silk 

Mustard yellow silk 

brocade pink and tan with silver threads. 

Oscars

Crazy French Man - Glad they won and I can't belive he balanced that award like that.

Loved the way they presented the top awards.

jcrew

I just went to the jcrew site to check our there sale items.  URGHHH there were a couple cute acc. that I would have liked but they were sold out.  If you can take the time to type that they are sold out after you click to order them,  you can take the time to remove the photo off you site can you??? 

Sorry for the rant I feel much better now!  Joe says that since we moved back I have been very bitter and complain alot about things.  OH Well maybe if people would get there shit together I wouldn't have anything to complain about. 

Yes I could use some gloves in California

How cute is this handbag with feathers and rhinestones!

Party dress

I just found this fun web site where you can put outfits together. It like shopping with out spending money! This is what I would wear if I went to an oscar after party. It is my first time working with the website. I promise they will get better.

products deux

I have had to find new products since moving here...I totally forgot about having to change face lotions with the seasons/climate.  In Belgium it is wet so my skin never ever felt dry and looked good (no deep lines visible)  Now with this dessert dry dry climate I feel like my skin is turning into a dried grape aka raisin.  

I had to excellent facials in Brussels (only 2 cause i found her late in our stay) she used dermalogica products.  I at the time loved the french product i was using and only got some face wash.  

Dermalogica is a LA based company that I have now switched to and love the lotions and potions.
