That Girl With The Pom Pom's






She wore colorful girlie-girl clothes, Mary Jane's and lots of ribbons in her hair.  Her winter wardrobe was a mish-mash of loud printed jackets, furry hooded coats, tons of mittens and pom pom beanies in every color.  She was stylish before her time.  That girl was me, when we lived in New York,  until I was about 6.  When my family moved to Florida, my wardrobe became a cluster of flip flops and bikinis. Until today.

Now that I'm back in a winter wonderland in Atlanta as a grown up, I am loving the winter gear as much as that little girl did.  The trendy pom beanie being worn today, brings back happy days of playing in the snow and dressing up as a kid.  I know the pom pom mittens are a bit overboard at my age, but hey, the nostalgia from my childhood are well worth the stares.

Thanks so much for reading!

Visions of sugar plums danced in her head...






As newbies to the Atlanta area, my hubby Bill and I are usually out on the weekends discovering new places, new roads, new everything and it's been a fun way to get acclimated in our new city.  As a blogger and amateur photographer, my mind is always in search of the perfect backdrop for my photos.  I usually take my own photos for my blog with the help of a tripod and a camera remote, so anytime I can get Bill to snap photos of me while we are out, I get super excited!

When we drove past this long stretch of landscape and curvy sidewalk, I had visions of beautiful photos with gorgeous outfits strutting down the the streets of Atlanta…I was dressed for the mall, not glamorous at all, but I asked Bill to pull over and take photos of my plum vintage swing coat (looks more wine in these pics). Really? Here? Why? he asked. It was cold and windy and we were hungry, but being the sweet man that he is, he went along with it.  As you can see, he cracks me up,  but we managed to get some "not so serious" pics of my vintage coat and a peek-a-boo of my new scarf I picked up at the mall.  I think Bill did a pretty good job under these conditions, what do you think?
