Does anybody else have a problem with this? (from the new J. Crew catalog) Where is our nation headed, I ask you?! DIE, you tight-rolled abomination!

harvest

Here is the extent of my harvest this year. My yard is poison to veggies, I think. So I proudly present Old Yeller. And yes, he is supposed to be yellow. Michael hates tomatoes, so I get this little cutie all to myself. Salutations, snack!

what a feeling!

I have to say, there is something weirdly comforting about the 80s fashion coming back en vogue. Not that I like all of it, or even most of it, but it's kind of nice to feel like a kid again. To me, it all seemed so European, so French. Black and white stripes, berets, slouchy boots, skinny jeans...I took ballet classes for a couple years in the mid-80s, and seeing my instructors in legwarmers over their pointe shoes, leotards and cropped sweats was SO chic to me. I wanted some legwarmers so bad. I still do.

I remember in 2001 or 2002, I snagged a great Harvard sweatshirt from the Salvation Army, and immediately proceeded to cut off the collar all the way to the shoulder, ala "Flashdance". My roommates thought I was a maniac (wink, wink) and thought I ruined a cool sweatshirt. Turns out, girls, I was just five years ahead of the times. I KNEW it. I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW it!
