Best Of 2018: travel Destinations

Posted on Category:Clothing Leave a comment

1

New York, new York

Hello! I live here! naturally I was thrilled to see the home I know and love pop up in your favorite destinations, let alone in the #1 spot! Please travel here, see the sites, eat the deliciousness, wander through the museums, do all the things.  Don’t neglect the Frick Collection or the new York historical Society.

2

London, England

Pack your travel umbrellas friends, because London made the #2 spot! Honestly, I thought it’d be Paris, but I’m so thrilled to see that you’re exploring and loving London, a lot. With so much history, culture, and much more exciting restaurants by the day, I can’t wait to go back. Now, where’s the best afternoon tea, weekend market, and Instagram op? Spill!

3

Paris, France

Ah, ma belle ville, j’adore. Whether I’m hustling from meeting to meeting or digging for vintage treasure, all activities are much more fun in Paris. even the simplest moments, walking down a street, purchasing a cup of coffee, or reading a book in a cafe seem to be swathed in romance and beauty. and that’s before we even get to the carbs…

4

Rome, Italy

You had me at pasta. but I’ll stick around for the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and the gelato while I’m at it. honestly just tell the cab to let me out anywhere in this ancient, astounding city, I’ll be fine. It’s one of my all-time favorite destinations.

5

Iceland

Since this is the only time you men suggested a country as a whole, I’m intrigued. This Nordic island country is best known for tourism through Reykjavik, its capital. It’s also known for tons of volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers—and puffins, don’t forget the puffins. They’re like smaller, better-dressed penguins. anybody who loves to spend many of their getaway outdoors, but needs something a bit much more active (and certainly colder) than the beach, ought to book a flight stat.

6

Tokyo, Japan

I want to travel here so badly I can’t stand it. The culture, the Izakayas, the shopping. Cliche, I know, but I’m one lost In Translation seeing away from impulse purchasing a 14-hour flight.

7

Santorini, Greece

Just hit “book flight,” honestly. What’s to think about? White, cubiform house-lined cliffs, breathtakingly blue waters, and all the Greek cuisine (arguably one of the best cuisines, come on—all the dips) to enjoy. Bring your best video camera and set a pointer for sunset, count on me.

8

Hong Kong, China

An unmistakable skyline, and night markets you could wander for hours—sign me up! I feel like I could spend weeks here and still have museums and monuments left to visit—there’s seriously a lot todo. If you’re planning a trip, look to late October-December, that way you’ll avoid monsoon/typhoon season, which can destroy a trip, fast.

9

Mexico City, Mexico

I’m going to need details on these Mexico City trips, people. The city is huge (573 sq miles, what?) and I’ll want to maximize my time and preferably have a comprehensive map of the best restaurants, thanks. The Frida Kahlo museum certainly tops my to-dos, along with the Palacio Nacional to see Diego Rivera’s well-known mural The history of Mexico. actually all of the museums in Mexico City are on my list, please help me narrow things down thank you.

10

Venice, Italy

I’m sorry, we can take boats instead of cars and that’s a normal thing and there’s pasta and red wine and the buildings are colorful and beautiful and all the bridges are good for ‘gramming?! WHEN DO WE LEAVE.

11

Tuscany, Italy

Our third Italian destination which I’m not angry about in the least, Tuscany is the wine-lover’s adventure of dreams. visit the vineyards, taste from the vineyards, even stay at the vineyards. just make sure that whatsoever points on your trip, when you look up all you can see are rolling green hills of vines and preferably a spectacular sunset. That’s how you know you’re doing it right.

12

Bali, Indonesia

I feel like every yoga class I’d take after this trip would be such a letdown. In general, we’re talking spectacular surround, remarkable (and affordable!) cuisine, and resorts that look like film sets. Cool, so when we going?

Grs, please?

Posted on Category:Clothing Leave a comment

Karen has been trying to find this pattern for a while, without any luck. any of you have a copy mouldering away?

Here’s her note to me.

Attached is a picture of a vintage pattern that I am dying to have: vogue Paris original 1751. The designer is Grs. Today is the second time I’ve been outbid in the last 5 seconds on Ebay, and my heart is breaking around again. I think the dress is so chic, and I would love to wear it to an upcoming charity event. Can you help me? I need to put out a call for this pattern — I’m ready to get the pattern outright, or even pay to borrow it for a time. I can trace it out, make my own copy, then give it back. Or maybe you can recommend another venue where I can beg for patterns.

Anyone game? This looked exactly like the kind of pattern I would get at a yard sale, ooh over, and never make, but I inspected my stock and I don’t have it. If you have a copy in the same boat, email me and I’ll put you in touch with Karen!

As you can see, TCC got a bit of a deal with lift today!  While I’m sure you’re dazzled by the largely unnoticeable font style alteration and awestruck by the almost entirely arbitrary placement of grey accents lines, I’m actually most eager to direct you to the “CATEGORIES” tab on the new and improved navigation bar.
 
 
Categories, baby, categories. 
 
As you can see, the saucy (not saucy at all) bit drop-down menu at the top of this page will allow you to directly navigate to the style type that finest explains your office.  So, if you’re looking for motivation to help dress for your laid-back office, boom, fast track it directly to my more laid-back posts by clicking the “CASUAL OFFICE” option.  If laid-back office styles aren’t for you, inspect out the other choices that include conservative office style, creative office style, interview attire and workstation crimes.  Since I include a wide variety of work wear on the blog, I hope this makes it a bit easier for those of you that want to zero in on the style that finest explains your expert environment. 
 
Happy Tuesday!

I know this pattern is waiting for me at home; I think it came in the mail just as I was leaving (from eBay seller Simmons Books). It’s oddly perfect; it has all of my fetishistic desires in a pattern: square neckline, short kimono sleeves, midriff band, full skirt — it’s so best I’m nearly terrified to make it, as what if all those things together somehow cancel each other out? like the time I made tea (I was about ten, I think) thinking “I like tea with milk, and I like tea with lemon, tea with lemon and milk need to be GREAT!” (It wasn’t.)

Luckily this little break has not been me (as usual) trying to do all the things I like, all at the same time. I just chose ONE thing I really like (watching my kid have fun) and did that. So what if it involved amusement parks (or as they’re called here in Florida, “attractions”)? and accompanying him on rides that made me deliberately unfocus my eyes, the better not to sag against the WHOLLY inadequate “safety” restraints in gibbering terror? and eating only things that had been fried (twice-fried, if possible)? despite the grease, and the terror, and the finding out after three hours in the sun that the SPF 40 I’d been slathering on everyone within arm’s reach had expired in 2005, this little trip [turned out to be] surprisingly fun. So what if I ended up spending the whole (interminable) three circuits of the Ferris wheel staring fixedly at the floor of the gondola and imploring a wriggling seven-year-old to keep his little butt ON the seat? It makes a good story, right? (I didn’t used to be terrified of heights, and I’m still not, at least not for me. I don’t care if *I* die from an overenthusiastic application of the law of gravity. Everyone’s gotta go somehow, right? but I really, really, really don’t want to enjoy someone else go that way. especially not any individual I spent a lot of time and effort personally MAKING in my WOMB.)

So despite having really took pleasure in myself here doing just one thing at a time, I’m ready to go home, resume my normal semicompetent multitasking, and see if this overdetermined pattern is as good as it looks. If not, I’ll go find a pattern that has just one of my top-five fave details and concentrate on making that one the best I can.
