New York Street Style: Summer time on Elizabeth Street
If you ever have the opportunity to walk down Elizabeth Street between Houston andPrince during the summer, look for an old man tanning on the side of the road--he's a dying breed of Old School New York. He lays by the road reclining on a lawn chair and sun tans in front of everybody while the cars go whisking by. This guy also ha…

Is This A Trick Question?
"MOM - come watch me swim!" Alexis screams across the yard."Okay," I say and stroll over and sit at the poolside table."MOM ... watch me do a dive!" she screams and then dives into the pool."Sure - I'm watching," I say, looking right at her."MOM ... count how fast I can swim across the pool!" she hollers and then takes off across …

Came out of the nail place, bright pink nails shimmering gloriously in the sunshine :)Guy (scraggly beard, baggy jeans, young, but weather-beaten looking fella) strolls up to me from out of nowhere.I immediately clasp my car key between my fingers - I will stab him if necessary (ack!)"Hey doll," he says (tee hee...), "where you go…

Sam Ypma (Canada): transparency from Mercer Street
Sam wears black, but does it distinctively, as you can see with the "animalesque" print top peeking through her outer transparent top.Sam (Trump NY) actually was wearing overalls. Instead of wearing them over her shoulders, she wore the shoulder straps draped around her thighs, as straps.I just arrived in London this morning, so i…

Dance Children!
When I was a little girl, I was the type of child that pushed the boundaries. Sometimes ... did the opposite of what I was told just to be defiant. In so many ways I am still like that.I think that those of us that go against the grain are the ones paving new paths in this world - for ourselves and for those that follow us - other…

New York Street Style: Independence of Thought
I think it's easier to articulate what she is by starting with what she is not: neither referring to a past era; nor designer driven; nor futuristic. The vest was borrowed from a friend and when coupled with her flowing dark hair and dark skin complexion, the look is cohesive and distinctively unique. How would you describe her st…

It Is A Happy, Happy Day For Our Family!!!
On March 5, 2008, I published a post, requesting prayers for a sweet baby that was born into our family. He is my great-nephew, born to my sister's son, Cody, and his girlfriend. This child was born at 24 weeks on March 4, 2008 and weighed right at 1lb. and was 11" long.When I posted those early updates about "Our Baby", I was hes…

Little Billy seems to be the same kind of boy my husband and his brothers were - they are all cut from the same denim cloth.It's a pleas…
