Pink Skies of Cherry Blossoms

This weekend starts Cherry Blossom Festival here in Washington D.C!  Nothing is more beautiful then biking along the Tidal Basin with scenery like this.

Elizabeth Taylor "Big Girls Need Big Diamonds"

An icon, movie star, and style icon.... Elizabeth Taylor you will be truly missed.

"Everything makes me nervous, except making films"

"I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it."

"I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife"

"I really don't remember much about Cleopatra. There were a lot of other things going on."

"I don't think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell Aids."

"I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them"

"I've only slept with men I've been married to. How many women can make that claim?"

Sweet Taste of India

My personal home style has always mimicked my bohemian personality.  I love Indian style with vibrant gypsy prints and colors mixed with vintage, raw, wood furniture.

Snap Shots

I have captured so many fun moments via my camera phone over the last few weekends and thought they would be fun to share. They are mini slices of my life :)

Mountain Beauty

I recently got back from a delightful family ski expedition to Breckenridge, Colorado.  While I'm dying for spring to arrive, being in the winter wonderland of the rockies was cozy and beautiful.  I was hoping to have some fabulous outfits to share, but for this trip I had to put function slightly over fashion.  But don't worry, cherry blossom season (here in DC) is right around the corner and I have a lot of spring goodies to share. 

Not in Washington, DC anymore...

Love seeing snowboarders and skiers in the small 'wester' town.

Reunited with my little brother.....and happy to be sporting my Free People lodge sweater.

Hittin' the slopes!  I haven't been skiing for a while and I was afraid my mad skills would be lost.  Not to worry, I was flying down moderates right away!

I was afraid the runs would be really crowded, but once you get off the gondolas and start flying you have the scenery to yourself.

After killing my legs on the mountain some fine French dining and spa time with mom was much needed.

So glad they serve Starbucks at the top of Peak 8.
