If you can hear Billy Idol’s sexy, snarly voice belting out the title of my post, you get two points. He isn’t the only one who’s showing some fierce stylings. This past weekend, I was invited to a lovely wedding in New Jersey. I was a little worried about mall hair (pronounced “mwaahl heh”) and a fondness for Claire’s accessories, but I was pleasantly surprised. So much so, that in fact, I have nominated the costar of the occasion as my blog’s own Fab Look of the Day!

Mama, I’ve found Mecca…
..and its called Anthropologie. I’m sure you’ve heard of the place once or twice. But moreover than the fabulous clothing and misc. wares, I have always loved their visual display.

HUGE thanks to Mer Mag and Apartment Therapy, two more great blogs, that have opened up such tremendously creative images that have kept me inspired and salivating to invent more! Here is how I plan to proceed…..
Crying Oui, Oui, Oui….
I love this Dior ring and makes a reply to a lover’s query soundless, as you simply show him your hand…..
Paris, Cape Cod
I spent this last weekend taking my yearly smallish trek to visit my favorite auntie in Cape Cod.
Nothing like a couple hours of girl gabbing, shopping for knick-knacks at the Christmas Tree shoppes, and throwing back a couple Cape-Codders while enjoying some great fresh catch barbequed over an open flame. As long as I can avoid deep sea fishing with Uncle A, I am aaaaaall good.
Ivar The Ugly
Warning to all those DIY-ers out there who think assembling some Ikea shelving is for beginners. If you purchased the Ivar Drawer Unit ( supplier code 77315909) which installs into the shelving unit, you might think that the hieroglyphics in any Egyptian pyramid might be simpler to decipher than these obtusely illustrated instructions.
Are you there, God? It’s me, Milda…
Dear God,
My home renovation project has been going on forever. Assembling all my IKEA furniture has been sort of like trying to save that house in The Money Pit.
