The CHAIR Factor
On the previous post { 10 things that make me happy } , I mentioned one thing as CHAIRS . I also said I would explain in a later post so I will keep my word . CHAIRS not only make me happy , they are a slight obsession for me. Like a girl that loves shoes or handbags , I love CHAIRS. When I see one I love , my heart beats faster , my eyes get bigger , my mouth drops , and my mind starts thinking "do I have room for it" ? then I answer myself " I will make room for it ". I truly wish my house was bigger so I simply can have room for morevCHAIRS.
I cannot tell you any specific style of chair I love , I just know when I see it. It usually has a beautiful unique shape, color or fabric pattern. Also I do not tend to refurbish or re upholster chairs . If I fall in love, I take them with all there flaws (even the ones I pull over and find on the side of the road ) . So there , a little bit on my love of CHAIRS. I will share some I found that make my heart smile.

Mad for Mad Men
Tonight I could not be more excited. You would think it was my birthday or some personal exciting event, but no it is Season premiere of Mad Men ! I have been anticipating this for months, and mostly for the past week. Almost like a child waiting for Christmas, I have been looking forward to this night. It is simply my favorite show of all time.
I started watching the show in the beginning of season 3, and I was hooked on the costumes and of course the era. I then caught up watching seasons 1 & 2 on Comcast on Demand and found it was truly a brilliant show. Then all I wanted for my birthday was the 4 seasons on DVD so I could watch over & over.
The show is so well written, each character is complex and interesting, it is beautifully directed, and the costumes oh the costumes. And although we might not agree with Don Draper’s behavior, or Betty Draper’s weak will, something about them draws us in.
Thank you Mad Men for bringing such excitement to my Sunday nights and for all the style inspiration.

Singing the Classic Blues
As I was looking through all my recent listings on my etsy shop , I realized I had many navy blue items. Soo I thought I'd write a small post dedicated to the shade. At least for me, I think of it as a classic color. All these things come to my mind when I think of it, sophisticated , nautical , matured like a fine wine (ha), fun but conservative , not too risky but not as safe as black, pretty much looks good on everyone (you get the point).When you put on a navy dress you feel "put together", or navy shoes will "tone down " maybe a wildly printed dress. I honestly do not wear the shade often, I prefer bold colors and prints, but I have some up coming occasions where I think a navy dress might just be exactly what I want.
