Happy Medium

Three cheers for Nude Pumps! I can't say enough about them. Out of a sea of black, these made the cut this morning. I wanted to elongate my legs and make the belt the point of interest. . . I think it worked :)

Elizabeth Gilbert: A New Way To Think About Creativity

My Sunday so far: Everything bagel toasted with butter, one bottle of water, two cups of coffee, Church on television (Joel Osteen), Amy Larocca's 2008 interview with Carine Roitfeld for New York Magazine and this inspiring talk by Elizabeth Gilbert . . .

"Eat, Pray, Love" Author Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

At Last

In December, I purchased and returned a perfectly good black blazer because I wasn't completely sold *insert sad face here*. Fortunately, the better piece was yet to come. Yesterday was my day off; between the Target run, the post-office drop, and spilling a full cup of coffee into my passenger seat and onto my handbag (Fabric not Leather, THANK GOD), I stumbled upon this little gem. So far, it's a win! I'm loving the yellow lining and generous fit. Based on it's impeccable, near new condition- I'm predicting It'll get more mileage in my wardrobe than that of the person who previously owned it.
