A new accessory

Well, they look similar to this pair.

So, I can't see things that are very far away. Therefore I went to the optometrist to take advantage of my eye care benefits. I went for glasses and got them!

ON A SIDE NOTE: the optometrist asked if I wanted contacts because I do have an astigmatism bad enough for contacts. I was a bit confused because I only need them for distance, so why would I need to wear contacts all day? I said this to him and he nodded his head. Was he just trying to make an extra buck? I think so. Moral of the story if I consider the rest of my life... dr's always try to make the money.

New glasses won't be ready 'til... I think Thursday.

Solicited text Mondays

Solicited by me. Unsolicited by you.

Saw this girl with a sleeveless light cotton dress that had extra fabric at the sides. It was draped like the top of a curtain, like a bunch of U's. It was so pretty because the fabric was so light.

How I'm surviving the rain in NYC

Jeffrey Campbell Vee shoes. But you can't do too much walking in them or they rip. I wonder where one can get galoshes fixed. I'll have to investigate that.

Text Mondays

Here's one thing today that made me feel excited, the idea of living in another city that looked this pretty.

Unsolicited thought Mondays - text only

Umm, so this text Mondays thing is an effort for me to keep writing something at least once a week and feel bad when it's the only thing posted on my blog for that week -- then to post a picture of something on some other day because really that's what we all want.

So, today. Monday. I say, I'm really busy and can't write anything.
bye.

Lacquer - Galoshes

How awesome are these galoshes? Apparently they are vintage Nicole Miller.

As I read more blogs I see what makes a good blog good
(is this how we get better at things? ah, the epiphany).

I like the ones where you know you've found someone who is interested in the things you are interested in.

I also like it when they tell you tidbits of their lives, but not too much because that's not the point. Really the point is how much you like something -- enough to write about it continuously.

la Boudoir does that for me.
wikstenmade too.
and a history of architecture.

I have no idea who they write for and I very well may not be their intended audience, but many a time they make my day. If only I could be as graceful as they are in they way they present their interest in fashion and their lives. Perhaps its their nuance. Like little things that make all the difference.

Oh blogging.
