Draped Leather

I am really in love with drapey leather pieces like this one:



There is just something about that juxtaposition between tough leather and soft organic draping that calls to me.

Fall & Winter Hunting List:

The 'Hunting List' is a bridge between the wish list and to-buy list. It is the 'only a wish until you find it at the right time, right place' list.

I am currently on the hunt for a pair (or two) of black boots. I'm thinking something along the lines of platform ankle boots or motorcycle boots. Something like the Diane Von Furstenberg fold-overs or Bess studs.


Love.love.love.


Also hunting a comfy pair of black legging-pants - stretchy with a slim silhouette but substantial enough to wear as pants. I have leggings, I have pants but one is too thin and one is too thick.

As of this moment, I cannot think of anything else I must have this season. Might be a good opportunity to shop my own closet.

GETTING THERE

3 things I wanted to get done before reviving this blog:

1) Buy a new camera + tripod - CHECK
Purchased the Canon G10 today. My old point & shoot fell to its death, zoom extended and all. This one seems much more solid....but no drop tests in its future.

2) Lose this winter weight - ALMOST THERE!
In the past 3 years, I've gained 17 pounds. Ouch! I've lost 11 of it since the new year. More than halfway there.

3) Purse the closet - UMMM....
Alright, this hasn't really happened. I'm a pack rat. We'll talk about this later?

1.5 out of 3, not bad. I'm slowly but surely getting back on track.

CHANGE, A CHANGE WILL DO YOU GOOD

We're half-way into 2009. Work is stressing me out. Haven't had a chance to do much else. But....

I'm looking to do more with this blog in 2009. It's a little boring to read right now, I know. Hopefully in a month or two, just in time for spring I will be able to start anew!

I just need to do a few things first - buy a new camera + tripod, lose this winter weight, and purge the closet. Too much has built up...clothes, stress, weight, mindlessness...in 2008, my first year as a "career girl". I feel as if life and living has past me by this past year. Hopefully I can remember myself in 2009.
