Buchanan Street Clock, Glasgow

September 2013?  That's terrible!  I haven't forgotten you, o morning latte blog, really I haven't...  a new post will come soon.  

Honest.

Flappers and feminism

"In condemning the flapper for her turn inward, first-wave feminists may have betrayed a lack of imagination. Perhaps the trick wasn't to combine the personal and the political. Maybe the personal was political.  Maybe the flapper was pioneering a distinct brand of individualist freedom." - Joshua Zeitz, Flapper

Spring Cleaning. Wha...?!

OMG it's April already?!  I'll try to do better latte lovers.  Time flies when you're...  wasting time!  My latest time-suck fav is Svpply.  Although it is a über posh version of the Amazon Wish List, I must admit I'm hooked!  For the time being, anyway...

Weeee!  I always look forward to seeing the NY Times list of places to travel for the year!  So exciting!  This year's list is amazing - Brazil, France, Washington, DC, Italy... the possibilities are ENDLESS!

The 46 Places to Go in 2013

Whether you travel to eat or shop, surf or ski, new adventures await.

The Theory of Low (No?) Expectations

So, I get this invite from a shopping service called Shopittome...  I started to delete it but then I thought 'what the hell' and I accepted their invite to something called Threads.  Is this a new site altogether?  I dunno.  How will this affect my weekly Shopittome emails?  I dunno.  Whatever.  Well, it turns out it allows you to select 'threads'.  Threads are whatever you are in the market for, whether it is a look or a style (i.e bohemian, casual professional) or a specific item (i.e pencil skirts, black boots).  You can set price points for your threads (ie. black boots under $200).  

By now I'm at least an hour into this site and I realize I've gone from having absolutely no expectation for this site to being quite intrigued.  In conclusion, after selecting from the various threads offered, I submitted my own - mock turtleneck.  About six showed up and sometime next week, I should be getting THIS ONE, for less than $30 including tax and shipping.  Hmmm...  I think I'm getting the hang of this!

 

Yesterday, I apologized.
