So the holidays were wonderful. We spent 10 fun days in Utah with my family over Christmas where we were able to visit with family and friends, relax, play and eat delicious food. Then, after we flew home to WA we drove up to Phil's parents the same day and did Christmas all over again! After a weekend there we made our way home again (jig-adee-jig) for one final day of vacation to recoup before Phil had to go back to work.
I then began to start out my new year like a whirling dervish; cleaning and organizing cupboards, trying to learn how to sew (p.s. Santa brought be a sewing machine for Christmas. p.p.s. Sewing is really hard), working on my cross-stitch and finding some sort of jumper for R, which is currently inhabiting my small living room. All of this left me very...tired. So I'm trying to balance out things a little more and come to the realization that I have a whole year to get these things done (well some of them). So with that said, here is something I thought was cool:
Did ya'all watch Oprah yesterday? Then you've heard about Bitten. For those of you who didn't, it's a fashion line created by Sarah Jessica Parker that provides apparel items all under $20 in sizes from 1-22. SJP's fashion philosophy behind the line is that any woman despite age, class, or size should be able to purchase well-made fashionable clothes. Woohoo for me and my low clothes budget! I first heard about this on Project Runway and then, of course, yesterday on Oprah. I really want to buys some stuff and try it out. However, because of the high demand, Bitten clothes are sold exclusively at Steve & Berry stores only, no shopping online. So if any of you try it out or have tried it out, let me know what you think.I also think the Starburry Shoes was a really cool thing too. Apparently athletic shoes are a pretty big deal.
i think you are so funny jazzy
ReplyDeletejazzy you should of came by i would of loved it. How is your mom doing?
ReplyDeleteHey Jazzy, it's Bon Bon. I've enjoyed reading through some of your blog. I don't think we've seen each other since we graduated. I did see that Oprah on Bitten. There is a store that is going to open soon in a mall about 20 minutes from my house so I'll have to let you know what I think of the clothes. By the way, I just started a blog. www.bonnieandryan.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteHi you! Good for you about the resolutions. Yes, sewing IS hard. Keep at it, though. I never have the patience to finish anything myself. I'm sure you will. Hmm, you've reminded me that I need to make some resolutions.
ReplyDeleteAnd did you know there's a Steve & Barry's down at the SuperMall? :) Love your blog already so I just had to comment! lol
ReplyDeleteJeanelle,
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. Phil and I plan to make a stop rather soon. Or if you ever feel like a shopping run, let me know;)
I LOVE Steve & Barry's. The Bitten line doesn't love me so much, at least the lower half of my body, but I do love Amanda Bynes's line (Dear) which they carry as well... jeans seem to fit me better. But I highly recommend this store to anyone, all the time and always.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so glad to have you direct me to your blog! Yay!
