This little Ganesh was given to me as I was leaving India back in 2009. A Ganesh should always face you right when you enter into a room. Also, if the Ganesh breaks or becomes harmed in any way, he should be immersed at the next Ganpati Festival. I’m in India right now, but IContinue reading The Story of My Ganesha
Long ago, in 1992, I was leaving for a year to study abroad in Florence, Italy. My sister gave me the nicest, most thoughtful, going away gift: a silver St. Christopher medal. It was engraved and everything. (I can’t seem to remember the message, but it was definitely special.) St. Christopher is the patron saintContinue reading St. Christopher, Protect Us
Image source My signature scent is so special to me; however I’ve been wearing the same scent for at least a dozen years. I don’t smell it on me, my husband doesn’t, nor do my kids. I think it’s time for a new scent, but where to start? The scent I’ve been wearing for theContinue reading I Think It’s Time for a New Perfume
There’s nothing like a tropical refresh! And a vacation to Bali over Christmas certainly fit the bill for some much needed holiday rest and relaxation. I haven’t blogged for two weeks, and I can honestly say, I have really missed writing here on my little corner of the Internet. No doubt a break is great;Continue reading Tropical Refresh for 2019
This was my travel outfit to and from Bali. The pants were perfect and very Balinese–even though they’re from Zara. I carried my straw beach bag as a carry on which is actually perfect for throwing all that’s needed in transit below my seat. The flip flops, well they’re a staple in Southeast Asia. IContinue reading A Bali OOTD
Usually on the first day of school, I always wear an LBD–of the black variety. But, this year, I deviated and wore a new sort of LBD–the little blue dress. With some encouragement from my sister this summer, I was told that I needed to make blue my color. Well if it wasn’t the nextContinue reading A Little Blue Dress–My New LBD
I always wear at least one evil eye. Sometimes, I will wear multiple–maybe one around my neck, a ring, maybe a bracelet, or perhaps some evil eye earring. Guaranteed though, I always have one on. I have many superstitions; although I’d like to call them beliefs. The evil eyes I wear comes down to anyContinue reading What’s with the Evil Eye?
I started a book club this year amongst the high school teachers I work with. It’s been a successful little club with the typical book club characteristics. One special perk though is I buy the book for all the teachers: sometimes they know what’s coming while other times I surprise them with a title. Recently,Continue reading My Name is Asher Lev: A Book with an Outfit
Two months ago, my family and I were traveling through Rajasthan, India. I feel like reminiscing. Continue reading Reminiscing
Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots called boho for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme. Of course I was super excited to hear this theme because let’s face it: I’m definitely a bit bohemian in my style. I am a sucker for anything with a cultural aesthetic especially when it comes to colorful tassels,Continue reading The Fab 40s in Boho
Last week I started telling a bit about the history of our cabin on Spirit Lake, Idaho. While we’re out here enjoying the beauty of this magical spot for our family, I would like to try to capture some of the special spots within the cabin that carry so many of our memories. As mentionedContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: The Family Room
Patterns and texture were abundant in each one of my work outfits this past week. Lucky for me it was a four day work week. It has been interesting too look back on the outfits though and see tons of patterns and texture: checks with ribbons, sparkles with snake, lace with plaid, and lace withContinue reading Style Story 12: Patterns and Texture All Week Long
