The Cat is Love
Our cat, Max, is starting to show his age, and just a week and a half ago, we thought that we might have to put him down. But he seems to be holding his own, finding his old man groove, and part of that groove is sleeping a lot. On warm things, like the VCR (yes, we still own a VCR) and the cable box.
But look at him, he's pure love.

Shoe of the Week: Messenger of Spring
These Hermes flats were a Valentine's gift from my mother. I'm looking at them as a harbinger of spring.

Shoe of the Week: Conspiracy Afoot!
Sorry, but there's no photo of a shoe of the week today. I am in New York City working the Coterie (fashion trade show). That doesn't mean I have no shoes. It just means that I seem to have even less time than I do at home.
But here's the conspiracy - on Saturday, I saw my mother. We did what I call "the circuit": lunch and shopping at Bergdorf's followed by shopping and a snack at Saks. We try to do this twice a year (whenever I'm in town to work the show). Of course I look at shoes. How can I not? And then, my mother asks me, "How many shoes do you own?" and she's got that tone. You know the tone, the tone that says, "Enough already." Now I must interject this - my mother is super stylish and also likes to discover (as I like to think of shopping), and she has stacks of shoe boxes in her bedroom (kettle, pot, black?). Plus, she just gave me a pair of shoes when I saw her earlier this month! (How much crack do you smoke? Well, how much do you give me?)

What I'm Wearing to Teach Today: 10
I'm not really happy with the quality of these photos; however, they're not bad for the semi-darkness of 7am. To aid in imagery, I'll tell you what colour everything is:
Rose pink and gold stripe Etro shirt
Deep burgundy Isaac Mizrahi skirt (from when he had his first line)
Fushia Hue tights
Two-tone (grey with grey/purple) Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes
I know, you probably would've never guessed from that photo...

Blog Love
I bought this book at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art when we were in the Bay Area over the holidays and have recently been using it for both inspiration and procrastination. It's a great compendium of fashion blogs from around the world (one is even from Burlington, ON - right next door to Hamilton! Fashion abounds!). Anyway, I've fallen in love with this blog, sad pony guerrilla girl, from Croatia. I can't read the text, but I love her photos, the ambiance, the mood, as well as the way she styles herself. Hopefully she won't mind that I've used a photo from her blog to illustrate my point:
