My last summer as a twenty-something...ahh!

Laying on the beach at the Outer Banks

Galliano...Donatella...Dolce & Gabbana...Boring.

I never thought I'd say this...but I'm momentarily a bit bored with fashion. Is it me or do the spring/summer trends all have a "been there, done that feeling"? Striped tees, ethnic prints, army jackets...what a yawn! Nothing has a wow factor; that certain something that shouts, "ooh buy me buy me!". Which I suppose is good for my wallet, but snooze-inducing for sure.

Zelda Fitzgerald once said "She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring." In regards to fashion I think that's a crock. Give me something inspiring, something new & fresh to get excited about. I can only hope my state of mind is temporary...otherwise I'm in trouble!

Put A Cork In It!

This morning I got to thinking about cork. Yes, you heard me right. Cork. Don’t ask me why...my brain is a wild animal. So I did a little cork research. Wow...I’m a nerd. It turns out that cork is pretty interesting and has a vast variety of uses. My favorites include keeping wine fresh and helping baseball players cheat. Cork can also be used as flooring, for insulation and to make musical instruments. And best of all, it creates adorable accessories! Cork fashion items can be surprisingly expensive, but their toughness and durability can guarantee a long life.
