The 'look' that people give you...
- 2Oct 27, '07 by theatredorkI just recently got a job in a Burn ICU. When I tell people I got a new job, they ask what hospital, and then which unit. When I tell them Burn ICU, I get that 'look'. The one that just screams "omg, you're crazy!" or "better you than me." I get this from my current RN coworkers as well.
I can only guess that for many nurses, Burn ICU is not something for them. I'm actually looking forward to this experience. I know it will be tough, but I want to be the best nurse I can be.

Normally the medical shows (the real ones) on Discovery Health don't feature serious injuries to children, but they brought into the ER this entire family that had been the victim of a fire in a mobile home.
The father had the most serious burns b/c he kept going in to get the 3 kids out, who were infants and toddlers...stairsteps.
The 15 month old, wasn't blackened (thank god), and didn't appear to be immediately blistered, but you could see where the skin rolled and the baby was swelled like a pumpkin.
I broke down, into almost uncontrollable tears when I they couldn't start an IV on the baby after sticking him numerous times, they finally explained how they had to push it deep into his lower leg, and it appeared it was into the bone...and the child screamed like I had never heard a chlid scream before.
I was watching with my husband, and I kept repeating over and over again, "Thank God we have people that can work with trauma such as that."
Like me, even as a 1st semester student, I often think about other realms of nursing, such as Pediatric Oncology, and to me, like burn nurses, those nurses couldn't POSSIBLY be paid enough in my eyes, and I'm not a strong enough person to do that on my best day.
I would kiss the ground those nurses walk on...that is how much respect I have for them.
- 2Oct 27, '07 by SuesquatchRNGod bless, Kevin, because I couldn't handle it.
- 4Oct 28, '07 by shandsburnRN-CRNAYeah, most people that find out I work in a Burn Center ask me how I handle it and the get "that look" on their face. To be honest I don't purposely do anything to deal with it. I mean, when I'm off duty, I'm off and when I'm at work I'm 100% into caring for my patients.
Maybe I just have a natural ability to seperate myself when I need to. I was a Paramedic for about 10 years prior to Burn Nursing and never had a problem seperating myself from the horrific scenes I saw. The only call that ever bothered me was an 18 month toddler that drown in a swimming pool that had a striking resemblence to my son who was 16 months at the time. I actually pulled the boy from the water, worked the code in the ambulance to the hospital and continued to help the ED staff for 1.5 hours before we called it...horrible.
But yeah, the look...it's funny to me sometimes...
- 1Oct 28, '07 by daisybabyIf I met someone who was a burn ICU RN, I'm afraid I might have the same reaction. Not because I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to work c burn pts., but because I don't think I'd ever have the strength to do it myself.
I have the utmost respect for burn RNs, and am thankful for you all.
- 2Oct 28, '07 by RainDreamerI'm not a burn nurse, but I get the same reaction when I tell people I work in the NICU.
Actually, I used to work at the hospital in which The Arizona Burn Center is, which is one of the biggest burn centers in the country. I had friends that worked in the Burn ICU and I admired them all greatly, as they saw a lot, but they absolutely loved their jobs.
But I do know what you mean when people give you the look and you hear people say "I could never do that!" or "better you than me!" ...... but I just don't think they realize what they're saying or how it comes across.
Good for you Kevin .... for finding something that you are looking forward to and that you're excited about! Your patients will have a great nurse and that's all that counts.
- 1Oct 29, '07 by SarasotaRN2bI think that working in a ICU Burn Unit takes a great deal of strength. I think that most people may act this way because while nursing maybe what they want to do, it takes a real special nurse to be able to handle this specialty. I personally am in awe of you. The pain that those poor patients are when they have to go through their treatments must be so horrendous.
- 3Oct 29, '07 by canoeheadI would give you the look too, and same to any nurse that works in a PICU. It's a look of admiration and thanking god that someone has the cajones to do it, because I tried and couldn't.
- 1Nov 7, '07 by soapaddictOHI get the same thing!!
I left PACU recently and am starting in a BICU in Cleveland. I worked there as a new grad 5 years ago. One of my co workers bought me a book the doctor who started the BICU wrote. She wrote a little note and stuck it in the pages that said, "When I heard you were leaving PACU to work in the burn unit I was puzzled as to why....."
Well, I don't like PACU nursing- that's for sure!
I have heard, "There's no happiness there."
"Why do you want to work with smelly burned people?" - to be honest I don't think the patients have a smell.
I am going back to the BICU for a reason- I really liked it before and am going back to stay.
- 1Jan 22, '08 by Batman24This is the one area of nursing I don't think I could ever do. Thank God for the nurses and medical staff that can. My heart literally aches when I even read about a burn victim. I could handle oncology and hospice neither of which are the happiest specialties, but burns are a no for me. I know my limitations.

In Defense of the Second Amendment
by Shorty Dawkins
Associate Editor
Sheriff Mack has posted a list of 269 Sheriffs and 8 State Sheriff's Associations on his website, C.S.P.O.S.A.,who have vowed to stand by their oaths of office and protect the Second Amendment. This is great news. To know that so many Sheriffs are following their oaths of office is very encouraging. We at Oath Keepers salute these Oath keeping Sheriffs. We also salute any of your Deputies who are willing to keep their Oaths and stand by the Constitution and the Second Amendment. Know that you are not alone. There are many thousands, (more likely millions), who back you one hundred percent.
This attempt by gun grabbers to force us to register our arms, and to deny us semi-automatic weapons of various types, along with magazines over ten rounds, is a direct encroachment of our Natural Rights, as enshrined in the US Constitution. The government does not have the authority to deprive us of those rights. Millions of gun owners resent this attempt to deprive them of their rights.
Of particular note is Police Chief Mark Kessler, of Gilberton Borough, PA, who not only proclaimed his opposition to infringements on the Second Amendment, but has sought a Town Ordinance to that effect. That Ordinance was passed! Bravo to you, Chief Kessler. We salute you. Gun owners and Second Amendment supporters should offer their support to their Oath keeping Sheriffs and Police Departments. If you don't know where your Sheriff or Police Dept. stands, find out. If they support the Second Amendment, and honor their Oath of Office, then take the time to show your support for them. If they are Oath breakers, let them know you do not back their action. It is no longer a time to sit on the fence. Insist they take a public stance.
On our website is posted a video of a Town Hall Meeting in Buffalo, New York, where law-abiding residents are voicing their outrage at the New York State law recently enacted, called the 'Safe Act', which outlaws many weapons and magazines. Many indicated they would not comply with what they considered an un-Constitutional Law. One gentleman mentioned jury nullification as one means of resistance. Another gentleman said the real criminals were in Albany, (the State Capitol).
On Sunday, January 6th, Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran, was driving through Jefferson County New York when he was randomly pulled over for a vehicle check. Haddad, who had five 30 round empty magazines in his possession, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and charged with five felony counts. Five felony counts for possessing five empty magazines!
Across the Nation, resistance to this un-Constitutional attack on the Second Amendment is building. It is up to you to be a part of this resistance. Inaction is not going to get the New York law repealed, nor the Feinstein bill rejected. Contact your representatives and let them know this attack on the Second Amendment will not be tolerated. Talk with your Sheriffs and Police Departments. Find out where they stand. Will they support the gun grabbers, or will they honor their Oaths of Office and defend the Second Amendment? Take the Molon Labe Pledge. Talk to your neighbors. Above all else, take a stand. Remember, it is not just your future, it is the future of your children and grandchildren. Will they live in a Police State, devoid of the weapons they need to defend themselves? Will they be unarmed and in servitude. The choice is yours to make. Our forefathers made their stand at Lexington Green, and at Concord Bridge. The British Army was coming to seize their weapons. The Minutemen said, NO. What will you do?
Placing billboards outside of military bases to remind service members of their oath
Please donate and support Oath Keepers mission, every little bit helps!

Creek Washes !!
The Enclave is a unique and peaceful place to live.
We are located just a few blocks from shopping, restaurants, theaters and every convenience
imaginable but still enjoy the feeling of being out in the wide open spaces.
We are far enough from the noise of town, yet close to many area attractions.
Bordered by two washes, we are a small subdivision of 122 homes and our property has no through traffic.
*** Many Of Our Residents Are Original Owners ***
That's no surprise, because once you move into The Enclave, you never want to leave.
Our Home Owners Association has done a wonderful job making sure that our property values
have remained remarkably high even in a declining economy.
We encourage a social atmosphere by having an informal monthly "Bunco" game night,
a monthly Ladies Luncheon (summers off) and an Annual Community Yard Sale.
We offer this website as a more convenient form of communication but since there are a significant number
of homeowners who do not have computer access, bullitin boards have been placed at all six mailboxes.
We hope this website will only add to the assets of your home ownership.

"Not Your Mama's Gospel"? Did someone change the gospel? No, of course not. But, the method of delivery has changed. Not that long ago many of us shared the gospel by sharing a tract. We would use something simple we could put in the persons hands, hoping of course they would read it later. Perhaps a few of them did. But with groups younger than the Baby Boomers that sort of logic encounter is giving way to more of a relational approach to telling the "old old story of Jesus and His glory".

8 Small-Cap Semiconductors With Upside: Analysts
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International team expects impressive growth this year in the worldwide semiconductor market. This global association pegs growth at 5% to 10% in 2011 on $316 billion in sales. SEMI says most of this growth is based on surging demand for tablets and smartphones as well as rebounding consumer confidence. Tablet sales are likely to swell to 200 million devices sold in 2011 from 20 million in 2010.
Meanwhile, global chip sales expanded 8.6% to $75.8 billion during the first quarter of 2011, driven by higher U.S. sales, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association, or SIA.
These eight small-cap stocks from the semiconductor and semiconductor components (integrated circuits) industries have either released their latest quarterly earnings, or are scheduled to release them next week. They each have market capitalizations under $1 billion.
Based on the strong quarterly results reported, or expected, and an optimistic outlook for the upcoming quarter and full year, these stocks have upside potential of between 11% and 87%, with a mean of 44%, based on analysts' consensus estimates polled by Bloomberg.The stocks are stacked based on upside, great to greatest. 8. Himax Technologies (HIMX), a holding company, operating through its subsidiary, designs, develops and markets semiconductors that are critical components of flat-panel displays. The company's principal products are display drivers for large-sized, thin-film transistor-liquid crystal display panels, and display drivers for small- and medium-sized TFT-LCD panels. It also offers display drivers for panels using organic, light-emitting diode technology and LTPS technology. Of the four analysts covering the stock, 25% assign it a buy rating, while 50% rate it a hold. Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect the stock to gain an average 10.9% to $2.6 in the upcoming 12 months. First-quarter 2011 revenue was in line with the guidance at $141.1 million. Gross margin increased 30 basis points on a year-over-year basis to 20.1%. The small- and medium-sized applications segment recorded significant growth momentum during the quarter, with revenue rising 28.9% year-over-year to $59.6 million. In fact, the segment accounted for 42.3% of total revenue as compared to 26.4% in the year-ago quarter. For the second quarter of 2011, the company expects 10% to 15% sequential revenue growth, while GAAP earnings per share are seen in the range of 2 cents to 3 cents. On the down side, Himax expects gross margin to narrow by 1% to 1.5%, fueled by increased shipments of IC products with low-to-medium margins. The company does, however, target higher margins in the third and fourth quarters.

Editor's review
If you're taking a cheap flight to Krakow, you'll be pleased to know that easyJet offers an ever-growing number of flights to the Krakow Balice Airport. So if it's a cheap weekend flight you need, count on easyJet to get you to Krakow and back and still leave enough cash in your pocket to make the best of the city's pubs. And remember, there's enough time for another bucket of sangria before the plane touch down!
Krakow Life
Mike B from United Kingdom Reply
Good airline - last time I was at the airport, I spotted no less than FOUR Easyjet planes at the airport at the same time - they seem to be opening up lots of new routes to Krakow right now, including Bristol (I think)
Tom from United Kingdom Reply
easyJet, easyJet, yeah!! It's great to be able to fly to Krakow for a holiday break and back for under 100 quid. Just be careful about your luggage, if you try bringing back too much vodka you'll get charged mad for being over their tiny luggage allowance.

In addition to regular 3 week projects, revolving teams are also working in hurricane areas in the Gulf and flood areas in the midwest, helping to repair and restore homes.
Through NOMADS' dues and donations from supportive churches and individuals, a Materials Fund has been established to help agencies purchase materials for projects if needed. Last year over $75,000 was given to churches and agencies to help fund their projects.
Information is sent out twice a year on the locations of work sites (projects normally last 3 weeks), and weekly e-mail updates are sent out by the NOMADS' Administrator, the only paid staff!

Finalized Nursery Space
My friend, Joy, warned me not to wait until the last minute to finish Liam's nursery, as her own daughter arrived three weeks early. While I tried to heed this advice, it just seemed difficult to finalize things—hence, the nearly-completed-but-not-quite-done nursery.
Walking into our house with Liam for the first time after leaving the hospital was not too chaotic, since our friend, Brent, came over while Window World installed new windows in the nursery (yes, that was scheduled for the day we gave birth), and while he was here, he put together our crib, which had just arrived the day before! Let me just say that Brent earned hero of the month for stepping in when we really needed it! Then, my mom came out for a week, and we were able to finalize the space—whew! I'm loving how the room feels spacious, functional, and soothing—all good things to feel when you're changing diapers and nursing around the clock. Check out Liam's new digs!
I found the rug at Homegoods, which set the tone for the pale blue and java brown color scheme.
My aunt added ribbon to the bottom of the roman shades, mimicking the curvy line of the rug. We also hung a few long linen curtains on the outside of the windows for a softer look.
I ordered this Chipper Eaton fabric online and used Stitch Witchery to create the curtain over the closet. Drawing back the curtain always makes for a fun surprise, as the inside of the closet is painted blue!
Then there's the rocking chair that I pulled off Craigslist, along with the java ottoman that opens for more storage (hey, ya gotta make due with other means of storage when your house has only a few pea-sized closets).
Next to the rocker is the table that I updated with a fresh coat of paint. Underneath is a bin that stores Liam's baby calendar and several books. I suppose it's worth mentioning that the little clock on top is from Target. We have its twin in our bathroom, and I've come to the realization that I could probably have one in every room of our house (although I'll restrain myself). I'm a clock watcher, and I love that this one has simple, modern features. Often clocks just seem gaudy to me…maybe that makes me a clock snob?
The crib is the Babyletto Mercer. I love the clean lines and the additional storage drawer at the bottom. To hide the gap between the drawer and the mattress (since we have the mattress raised for a newborn), my mom and I ran a crib bumper along the outside of the crib. Not the usual method for hiding gaps, but it works great, plus the crib bumper is from Pottery Barn Kids, but I snagged it at half off at a local thrift store for $2.50! It's hard to find simple designs for baby items, and I love that it's plain white with a touch of brown waving along the edge.
The changing table dresser was given to us by a family from our church. We just gave it a fresh coat of white paint and updated the knobs with these glassy beauts from Hobby Lobby.
A few baskets inside allow for easy diaper storage, plus a few OXO containers for wipe storage.
A colorful glimpse at some of our cloth diapers (which we're still waiting to use, since Liam is pretty teeny and they would completely engulf him at the moment).
For extra storage above the changing table, we popped up a floating shelf from IKEA and loaded it with baskets from Target.
Our other IKEA purchase was the Expedit bookshelf, which serves double duty as a bookshelf and storage space, as we filled the bottom portion with more baskets from Target. It turns out that I'm slightly obsessed with the gray/brown baskets sold at Tarjay…
More storage in the form of an over-the-door hanging rack. It currently holds Liam's many hats (one of the only acceptable male accessories—gotta take advantage of them!), diaper wet bag, diaper bag, and nursing cover.
And of course, we've dotted the room with simple art that I made using di-cuts of animals (hurray for the elementary school di-cut machine at work!) that I glued to blue scrapbook paper. Then I just plopped them in huge IKEA Ribba frames and we hung them around the room.
Then there's my favorite elephant skeleton which we picked up at a quaint shop while babymooning in Taos, New Mexico. He's hot-glued to a piece of scrapbook paper; again, I used a Ribba frame from IKEA, but I took out the glass so he could show off his 3-D shape. Ooh la la!
Ele-Skele is joined by his friends Whale (who, ah, happens to be an ashtray…didn't realize that until my darling sister-in-law hesitantly pointed it out) and Owl—both spray painted by yours truly.
Inspired by Pinterest, I also created three additional pieces of art using paint chips, Scrabble letters, and a cloth tree that I found at JoAnn's. Sadly, I don't think I'm going to end up using them, as I feel like they might compete too much with the other art on the walls. I really like the room as it is, and I don't want to overdo it. I have a feeling those three frames will find a new home in our "hallway" between the living and dining room.
We had loads of help finishing the nursery, thanks to a visit from my mom and aunt. Some action shots…
After…the whole kit and caboodle from several angles…
It was a little surreal when I walked into the nursery holding Liam for the first time. I'm pretty sure I said something like, "Welcome to your new room, Liam!" I wish I could say that he was really excited, but I'm pretty sure he was just thinking, "Okay, Mom, would you just change my diaper already!" And since Gma Mimsie and Company never seem to tire of Liam (also dubbed: Peanut, Tiny Tinkler, Bean, Little Man, Punkin, Sugar, Little Squeaker, and a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head…) pics, here are a few recent ones.
Nursery Furniture
Happy Wednesday morning! I just finished grading my last online discussion posts of the year—whoohoo! Final exams…well, those will have to wait until next week. The end is in sight, ladies and gents! Although I'm not sure if any gents actually read this blog…maybe my dad? Little bro? If so, welcome!
Blogging has clearly been at the bottom of my list lately, but I thought I should update y'all on the nursery. It's done enough that if a baby came tonight—gulp—we would be okay. In all honesty, we would have been fine if the nursery was mismatched and chaotic, so maybe I should say that I would be okay. Haha. Perhaps it's more about the mom feeling prepared…
We definitely made our biggest strides when my mom and aunt came out, as they painted walls and furniture, bedazzled curtains, and decked out the room with frames for art. My mom was a whiz at painting the room! I'm pretty sure she did it all within about four hours, and that included two coats of paint, plus painting the inside of the closet. But this post is about furniture, so let me get back to the point. Our nursery consists of used furniture, which we were extremely happy to receive, in addition to making a few Craigslist purchases. Buying a new set just wasn't in the budget for us, and when it comes down to it, I thoroughly enjoy the process of making used pieces feel cohesive and new. Plus, I love it when a room evolves over time. Take a peek into our progress…
Remember how I bought this rocker off of Craigslist awhile back? (I was air-drying the cushions after washing them…)
As it turns out, the cover was much harder to…cover…than I originally thought it would be. My kind neighbor was willing to help tackle the project, but in the end I decided that it wasn't worth the headache, nor the extra cost of upholstery fabric. Thankfully, I was able to resell the rocker for the same price I paid for it, and then a few days later I bought another rocker for $30 off Craigslist. This time, the rocker was pretty much everything I wanted. The owners took extra good care of it, and they even had it recovered recently in a fabric that I was happy with. To top it off, they were super nice people and we spent about 30 minutes chatting before I actually paid them for the rocker. It felt right.
All I did was prime and paint the rocker white (actually, my aunt did it for me—thanks, AJ!). Tadaa!
The other piece of furniture that needed some TLC was a table given to us by some good friends. Apparently they swiped the table off of www.freecycle.org when they first got married, so I didn't feel bad taking it off their hands for nothing.
My original idea was to paint the table white in order to match the rocker and changing table dresser, but it looked pretty washed out. Mom suggested painting the top a darker color, so we just wrapped a garbage bag around the white base, gave the top a few coats of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint, by Rustoleum, and then a few coats of polyurethane to keep it from getting scratched and beat up. I love the final result!
The dark top really helps to ground the table and ties it in nicely with the other dark brown accents in the room. It makes me want to find more free tables…they have so much potential! Actually, some friends called us the other night to tell us about a free desk that was on the side of the road. I sooo wanted to pick it up and give it a second life, but I said no. It's getting harder to maneuver myself into the positions needed to paint, I probably shouldn't paint right now, and with a baby coming soon, I need to allow myself a little time to relax. I hope someone else decided to redeem that desk!
In other baby related news, my sweet 7th grade students and their parents threw us a surprise baby shower at school yesterday! They went all out on food, décor, thoughtful notes of encouragement, and gifts galore! It was a blast, and we were so blessed by their efforts. They even gave us a huge lawn sign that we can apparently stick in our yard when the baby comes. It has a place to write the name, weight, etc. I guess it's an easy way to let the neighbors in on the action!
Closet Combining
Nesting. It's apparently all the rage when you're pregnant, although I think that I tend to nest even when I'm not with child…which means my nesting is slightly more neurotic than most…hence, my freakish desire to combine closets.
Whoever built our little 1947 house decided that closet size wasn't a major necessity, and while I would love to say that closet space isn't important to me because our material possessions are not our priority, I have to admit that I like having space for my shoes. And clothes. Bags. Belts. You know…girly stuff. But at the same time, I love that having smaller closets forces us to pare down and not hoard tons of extra junk. If I buy something new, I tend to donate something old. But I'm rambling. The point is that we have two bedrooms with small closets, so when we moved into our bungalow, Matt took the back bedroom closet and graciously allowed me to take the master bedroom closet. This system worked fine for quite awhile, but now that the back bedroom is being converted into a nursery, I decided it was time to truly unite as a married couple—it was time to share a closet.
Now some of you might say that a newborn doesn't need a closet all to themselves, that we could get away with keeping separate closets for awhile longer, yadda yadda yadda. But I'm not good at doing things halfway. It bothers me. At some point there might be two kiddos sharing that back bedroom and then we'd definitely have to make the switch, so why not do it now and learn to live with it? Even if the closet isn't loaded with clothing, I already have lots of baby items that will be making it their home, as there is nowhere else in our house to put them. So last weekend we bit the bullet and spent a good portion of Saturday morning paring down, moving seasonal clothing items to the basement for storage, and rearranging the master closet.
Here's what the master closet looked like when it was just little ole' me using it.
The back bedroom closet when Matt was using it…
And the combined master closet…
Here's the now empty nursery closet (notice that the hubs converted that funky removable plumbing wall into a hinged door—yay!).
My goal is to paint the nursery closet a fun color (actually, I'm planning to have my mom paint it when she comes out to paint the rest of the nursery), so we're not filling it up yet. We're also replacing that nasty bar with a new white one, since we're removing the closet door and hanging a curtain instead. The door doesn't shut completely, takes up valuable wall space, and I like the idea of a cute curtain hanging in its place.
As for our newly combined master closet, I have to say I LOVE it! I'm not sure if Matt would agree with me, but I really like storing only the clothes I actually wear in the closet at one time. I was shocked to find that extra space existed after we combined our clothes, belts, bags, and shoes. That deserves a woot woot! We do have two dressers plus a stand of wicker baskets that hold stuff like t-shirts, socks, and our unmentionables, but I was even able to give up two of my wicker baskets so that Matt could store his socks in them.
Ahhh…freedom from clutter.
So a few tips for organizing/combining closets:
1. Have garbage bags on hand, that way you can create a stash of items for the thrift or consignment store. My rule of thumb is that if I haven't worn it within the last year, I'm not likely to wear it again. Out it goes. Last year I experimented with hanging my clothes on backwards hangars; any hangars that were still facing backwards were clearly clothes I hadn't worn in the past year, so they were thrown out (I made a few exceptions, but not many).
2. If combining closets with your significant other, be flexible and willing to share. This can be challenging, ladies, as you likely have a lot more stuff than your man. Thankfully, we were able to work together so it wasn't too difficult. It also helped that we pared down to the items we are wearing this season and this season only. For Matt, that doesn't change all that much throughout the year (guys have it so easy), but I definitely have different items for warm and cold months. At the moment, our closet pretty much contains only my prego clothes. Also keep in mind that you change over time, and therefore things that you used to wear may not be as important to you. For example, in college I wore a ton of bulky sweatshirts because I was always trying to keep warm on campus and in our old school apartment (love that tiny place). Now that we live in Colorado, I find that I wear more fitted fleece items which take up less space, keep me warmer because they're designed better, and have basically replaced my sweatshirts. When I went through my stash, I ended up tossing several because I realized that my lifestyle has changed enough that I won't likely be going back to sweatshirts anytime soon. I kept a few and ditched the rest.
3. Use the space underneath the hanging clothes. Several years ago we installed wire shelves on the lower half of the master closet, which provides space for stacking jeans and sweaters, along with stashing a few bins filled with hats, scarves, belts, etc. There's even enough space underneath the shelves for storing a few pairs of shoes.
4. Don't forget about closet walls. There are several inches of space around the edge of our closet, and we plan to either hammer in a few nails or a rack for belts and ties. It's the perfect amount of space for hanging those long and skinny items.
5. Leave some extra space in your closet for adding items in the case of unexpected weather changes, the occasional new purchase, and simply because it's far easier to find what you're looking for when you're not shoving aside a bazillion items every morning. A little breathing room also keeps clothes from getting wrinkled, which is certainly a plus in my book.
I was a bit ruthless when it came to my own clothing, but keep in mind that we're still storing plenty of seasonal items in our basement, so I didn't get rid of as much as you might think. Still, Matt did take an entire SUV full of stuff to the local thrift store (we pared down a few more items in the basement in addition to clothes and shoes). Part of me wanted to keep everything for a summer yard sale, but who am I kidding? I have a feeling a yard sale won't be at the forefront of my mind when this child arrives… So we got rid of it.
And that's the end—or perhaps the beginning—of our closet organizing adventure.
Detail Dallies
Happy Monday, all! Our weekend consisted of warmer weather, juicy hamburgers, games with friends, and a good old fashioned house cleaning. Oh, and I whipped up these tasty orange-chocolate-chunk muffins—one of my favorite combos. Hopefully you were able to relax and indulge in a bit of springtime activity. We're thinking next weekend it's time to tackle the garage, which is sorely in need of rescue…
While I haven't written much about it lately, our nursery is progressing. It won't be painted until my mom comes to visit in April (I'm actually saving up a bunch of mini-painting projects for her), but we've got some of the big pieces in place, which I'll be sharing as they come into completion. This weekend I wrapped up the details of our changing table dresser. Remember this guy?
While I love cheery white furniture, I thought new knobs would add some pizzazz, plus the original wood ones were looking a bit chippy. I also wanted to cover the inside of the drawers in decorative paper for a fresh feel—and because who doesn't love that tiny surprise of finding a pattern tucked into a drawer?
So other than giving the dresser a quick coat of white paint, I dallied in the details, which tends to be my favorite part of decorating.
During a trip to Hobby Lobby, I spotted these star-like beauties for 50% off and ran home to try them out.
Sadly, one of them broke as soon as it was tugged on, so I hunted down a new one on my next trip to HL and actually purchased a few extras just in case it happens again. Their tawny taupe color and slightly jagged texture definitely tug on this girl's heart strings.
For the record, I've been having really good luck at Marshall's lately—my second home—and found this self-adhesive drawer liner for a song. And it came in a two-pack!
I've been slightly obsessed with bamboo patterns recently and this was the perfect blend of bright, clean pattern to add to a boy's dresser.
For some reason most of the drawer liners I've run across are floral and scented, which was not exactly the route I wanted to go. As a back up, I was prepared to go this route and use high quality wrapping paper with Mod Podge if necessary, but the self-adhesive liner worked like a charm. It was pretty easy to cut and lay out, since there was a grid to follow on the back, although it took some patience to make sure there were no stray air bubbles hanging around (I used our debit card to smooth the paper into place).
The final product…
Gotta love how those details give the dresser a unique feel. I keep opening the drawers and oohing over the "surprise" of the bamboo paper. (The knobs look really dark in the photo above, but they actually change color depending on the lighting, as they're more of a translucent glassy brown.)
What are your favorite details to add to a room? Knobs? Drawer liners? Funky patterns? Lighting? A bold piece of art? Divvy up the details, please!
Elementary Artwork
Walking through the elementary hallway of my school several weeks ago, I spotted sea turtles gracing the walls with their bright, cheery colors. I continued to walk past the turtles several times a week, until I realized that I really really wanted one for a piece of art in our ever-evolving nursery. It didn't take long to track down the elementary art teacher, who handed me a leftover turtle from the previous year, saying she was glad I could use it. Free art!
At home I popped my neon green turtle into an 8×8 Ribba IKEA frame where it fit perfectly. I love the blend of chalky colors, the embossed outline of the shell, and the playful nature of the piece. It was probably the easiest art I've ever come by—all gained by making a simple request.
I've been browsing for more art ideas on Etsy, and it turns out I'm drawn to simple, funky animals, especially owls, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, turtles, and the occasional friendly peacock. Below are a few of my favorites—many that could easily become DIY projects.
I'd like the art in our nursery to be an eclectic mix. I don't want it to be too matchy-matchy, and I don't want it to feel as if I went to Babies R Us and bought everything in a set. I prefer to collect and make art over time. How I wish I knew how to use Photoshop! It might help to own it first…
Have you made or purchased any art lately? Feel free to share!
Nursery Musings
I know that the love of money is the root of all evil, but I have to be honest. In the world of home decorating, it wouldn't hurt to have just a little more. There. I said it. Sometimes it's hard being on a budget, especially when Pinterest offers so many tempting images of posh baby nurseries. All that said, I know it's good for me to have to think outside the box when it comes to decorating. If it came too easy, it would be boring and I'm sure I'd take it for granted. Obviously it's a treat to have a cute room—not a right. Can you tell I have to keep myself in line? We all need some checks and balances in our lives, true?
When we first moved into our little bungalow, the soon-to-be nursery looked like this…
I know…those curtains seriously give me the creeps. Then we converted it to a guest room, and it took on a slightly country look that I was never totally satisfied with, although it was a major step up from its humble beginnings (somehow we managed to paint the walls the same color as the original shag carpet…not our best move).
It currently looks like this…
Several weeks ago, our friends moved into a new house chock full of bedrooms, and since they needed some furniture to fill the empty space, and we needed to clear out for Baby Braham, we loaned them all the furniture that resided in the guest room. It was great to empty out the room so we could start fresh, but it was also a tad overwhelming. It really didn't take long to begin filling the space though, as some friends from church gave us this great changing table/dresser. I'm considering either painting or changing the knobs, and I've also thought it might be fun to paint the top a bold contrasting color.
and a few days later we snagged this $20 glider on Craigslist. Pardon the wonky cushions—they're air drying after a good sanitizing wash.
Yep, that chair is ugly as sin. I have plans to paint it and recover the cushions (I'm hoping my talented neighbor will help me out, since she sews—which, by the way, is one skill I
sew so totally wish I had under my belt). At $20, it's hard to go wrong, folks. I'd love to add some sort of ottoman eventually—maybe one with storage inside.
I've also been debating color schemes for the room. Here are few of my favorites from the always inspiring Design Seeds website.
The neutral lover in me is struggling a bit over whether or not to paint the walls a color. I'm currently on the lookout for some fabric, a rug, or a lamp shade that will inspire me one way or the other. I really think every room needs something that pulls it all together, and I'm holding off on any major decisions until I find that something. Ultimately, though, I really want this room to be gender neutral. While I'd love to go all out, it's really more prudent for us to make this a space that two kiddos could eventually share, and that means it has to be somewhat versatile.
Since there is not much storage in our house, we're hoping to add it via a bookcase, a crib with a pull-out drawer underneath, and some floating shelves. Here's what we've been eyeing.
Next time Matt drives to Denver, he plans to stop at IKEA to purchase the Expedit bookcase and Lack floating shelves. By the way, IKEA definitely has the best deal on these shelves that I've seen so far. They are white (although they offer several other color options), chunky, and only $15! Woot! The bookcase is more of a splurge, so of course I've been seeking used alternatives at local thrift store and Craigslist, but so far I'm loving this guy, especially since he fits perfectly into a little nook in the room.
Now that I've rambled on about random aspects of the nursery with very little to actually show for it, I thought I'd give you some real news. On Tuesday we had our 20 week ultrasound, and it turns out that Baby Braham is…
a healthy BOY!! We are so thankful and excited that our future kiddos will have an older brother to look out for them—here's praying that he's a great role model! During the ultrasound, our wonderful technician said, "I've been doing this for 26 years, and even though I can't tell if it's a boy or girl quite yet, its hand is between its legs, which almost always means it's a boy." We laughed so hard we almost cried. A few minutes later she confirmed that our very active baby was indeed male. And for the record, this kid can kick! Oh, the adventures that lie ahead…
While we're on the topic of boys, we're all ears when it comes to parenting wisdom. Any thoughts on bringing up boys?
I'm Dreaming of…
That's right. Baby nurseries. Any guesses why?

Review of chapter "Chapter 7" from
I was just thinking how much does Dawn remember of the back round from her 'Dreams'? And if she was a preimmortal or anything like that in one of her 'Dreams' would it carry over like her scars do? Great story up-date soon.
Comments from author:
Hey, sorry for the late reply and thank you for your feedback.
The 'rules' for the dreams are pretty simple actually. While in a dream Dawn only knows the history of that universe and so has no knowledge of anything that goes on in the real world. When she wakes up though she knows what happened during the dream. Everything she sees, does and thinks about are things that she will remember. If something didn't come up during the dream however, she has no knowledge about it. This means that if in the dream she talks about something that happened when she was 5, she'll know it when she wakes up. However she wouldn't know if she was grounded by her mother the week before if it isn't mentioned in the dream.
Anything that happens to Dawn during her dreams is transferred to her real body. This would mean that if she were pre-Immortal that would happen, but that one is rather unlikely as it would mean Dawn isn't the same person as she is in the real world. Unless she already was pre-Immortal there :-). However, let's be honest here. That kind of thing would far too quickly move things to a super-Dawn type of thing, and that isn't what these stories are about. Buffy is the superpowered Summers girl, and while Dawn will undergo some changes in the story arc that will mostly be psychological as she starts to understand who and what she actually is.
As for an update, I'm working on a story now and hope to post it in the near future.

Review of chapter "Chapter 7" from
Gosh, you make think a lot! I have come with more and more theories, trying to think it through... and I have dismissed quite a few. So far I have kept two. One is that Noir does exit in the main Verse, unbeknownst to thos who created the show, and that there is a Mireille and a Chole, at least, or whatever may be their names around. Possibly even a Kirika... again, whether or not she's got the same name...
My other theory is that when Ethan did his little spell, some higher power used it to change reality some... which would mean that Mireille... and possibly (hopefully) Chloe are alive and kicking. Or you actually thought about that idea I gave in one of my last reviews long before I did. I mean the mingling of Mireille with Sara and Chloe with Jane.
Comments from author:
Ah, well you're pretty close with one of your theories. You might want to read Things that Matter though. In that story (which diverges from the Black Sunrise series during the last chapter of Dark, Darker, ...) the origin of the Terakan's fears is shown.

Review of chapter "Chapter 4" from
Wow! Well, I must say you keep surprising everyone with your work. I love how you had all that much of Cordy's story covered, not to mention Methos's tendency to abuse his friends' generosity, that kinda things. What surprised me at first was how Dawn reacted first when Cordy came back to life the first time. I would have guessed she would have kept Cordy at gun point immediately, and say "explain" in Noir's no-nonsense voice (I keep making a distinction between Kirika and her emotionless part), but thinking about it afterwards, it would make sense as well.
What surprised me the most, though, was the Evil A-Team. Where did you come with that? as far as I remember of the show, while they were all outlaws, none of them would have accepted a job like that. Or they would have, but played it so that in the end they acted against the commanditaries. Then again, with alternate universes, it's entirely possible to consider an evil A-Team.
Now, I haven't finished reading it yet (and won't be able to read chaps 5 to 7 until tonight at least, but I REALLY REALLY hope Jane and Sara live. Which I will see once I'm finished reading it.
Oh. And you mentioned "Canta per me", what about "Salva nos"? These are my favorites.
Now, I've got an idea, assuming the girls survive this story. They probably still have thier costumes from Halloween, so what if Dawn researched a way to have them changed the same way? With a little change in the spell, of course, because she wouldn't want Chloe and Mireille to try and kill each other again, if they met again, especially since it would be Dawn's best friends as well. So mingling the minds in one go instead of having them becoming either killer without remembering they're Jane and Sara. Well, probably not an easy feat, but that's the BTVS verse, not the Noir one, so rules are a little different, and I'm a sucker for happy endings so... and it would give both girls a fighting chance against the Order of Teraka. (wasn't it Taraka?)
Comments from author:
Thanks. As for the evil A-Team, they aren't actually the one from the show. As explained in the story (although possibly in a later chapter), they actually took their names from the show.
Salva Nos will undoubtedly show up in a story as well, as might several other songs from the soundtracks as there are many beautiful songs on them.
While the idea of having Jane and Sara change into Chloe and Mireille is an interesting one, it won't happen. Dawn's hatred of all things magic would prevent anything like that from happening. On the other hand, I've had requests, and been thinking about, writing a story that would detail what would have happened if the three of them had actually gone together on Halloween. I just have to figure out how to do it in such a way that there are survivors in Sunnydale. :-)

Review of chapter "Chapter 7" from
Wow, just found this story, and stayed up way too late reading it. This plot is thick and getting thicker. Any thicker and you could walk a wooly mammoth across it!
I could see you taking Dawn to the world of "terran jedi" xander harris (another story on this fine archive) where she learns from him ways to contain her dark side, and deal with her emotional trauma.
I love where you seem to be going with this story. Happy writing and may the Muse be gentle but firm with you.
Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us.

While I doubt that I'll ever cross this Dawn with another fanfiction series I do hope you like how the series continues.

Review of chapter "Chapter 7" from
A great conclusion. I guess that Adrian is the same character we saw when Dawn went to the village in the other storyline. I guess that Angelus come out and play in the next part of the story. Is Adrian's girl someone we should know or is she an OC?
Comments from author:
Hey, thank you for continuing to review. I'm glad you liked the story/ending.
Anyway, yes Adrian is the same Terakan as in Things that Matter. The girl is an OC, and is in fact the other Terakan who showed up with Adrian. Which should give you some clue as to how dangerous she is.
As for Angelus, well the next story will take place after Buffy's birthday and to (more or less) quote a certain character: there are some things in life that never change.
Of course, some things do change...

Review of chapter "Chapter 6" from
Another fine chapter. The Dawn-Noir world part was very good. The Highlander world was fine, but the scheme of the enemies there seems way too convoluted to work in the long run. The real target is Amanda. Now there is a big risk that Amanda goes into hiding if all her students are killed off, so why send competent people after the students? Also why have only one sniper covering the front and not one at the back also?
Comments from author:
Thank you. There is a reason for how things happen in the Highlander world, and I hope you'll find it a good one once you encounter it. Anyway, the reason for only one sniper is that they do fight by the rules, more or less. This way they can determine where the fight takes place and that they won't get away.

Review of chapter "Chapter 6" from
I love Dawn's relationship with her two friends. All three girls come across as different people and yet still a tight group. Nicely done.
But the bit that darn near gave me a coronary when I read it was: "It's not." Why did that kid always have to say these annoying things? It was bad enough that she went around killing people—well not so much people in general as people called Methos—but did she have to act so... so... annoying?
Lol! Great characterizations and neat plotting, what could I ask for more of? Not a thing. Well, just please keep updating.
Comments from author:
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. The next update is on Sunday, but that will be the last part of this story. Sorry about that :-). There will be more sequels though.

Review of chapter "Chapter 5" from
I am still enjoying the heck out of your story. And I am still totally in the dark about where you are going in both universes. All I know is: I really, really like your Immortal Cordy. She is just so ... neat. More, please?
Comments from author:
Thank you. More will come on Sunday...

Review of chapter "Chapter 5" from
The first part of this chapter was great, especially the Dawn and Buffy interaction. The second part was fine, but the cliffhangers starts to get annoying (I have to wait yet another week!). Did Dawn suspect that Methos is in league with the attackers by his demands to make a call for a car or did she just don't like his insults?
Comments from author:
Thanks. As for the cliffhangers, well they're supposed to make you want to come back for more. :-)
Dawn has a good reason for what she did. It'll all be explained in the next chapter.

Review of chapter "Chapter 4" from
Quite good chapter, but the Methos & Amanda part was a bit boring before she started to tell about the time when she met Cordelia.
Comments from author:
Thanks. I do appreciate comments like that, and will try to do better in the future.

Review of chapter "Chapter 4" from
I love this story. The action, the odd bits of humor, the excellent characterization, the whole package is just so darn good, I look forward to each update with a great deal of anticipation. And this update was up to your usual standards. I like both the stories and can't wait to find out what is going on in both time-lines. I hope you keep giving us updates to these delightful stories about these terribly flawed but still wonderful characters.
Comments from author:
And thank you for the fullsome praise (again). Just for that I will post another chapter next week. Okay, I would have done that anyway, but it's always good to hear people enjoy the stories.

Review of chapter "Unforeseen Consequences: Revelations" from
I LIKE 'Revelations'. Things that Matter is equally good, but i don't like Dark Angel that much, so I had some trouble to motivate myself to read the Story. ;)
Hmm. With Dawn in Touch-My-Family-and-I-will-not-talk-but-Kill-you-Mode... possible Targets: Angelus, Spike, Vamp-Willow, Quentin Travers (Cruciamentum), Post, Walsh... you have a hell of a chance to play with the Canon in a plausible way.
Faith... good question. Your Dawn is actually a little bit more 'messed up' than Faith after the death of her Watcher. Hmm... Dawn as Faith new Watcher? Endless possibilities...
Keep up the good work! *thump up*
Comments from author:
I can understand why you might have trouble reading a story when you don't like one of the series involved. I've had that problem myself back when I actually took the time to read stories, instead of writing my own.
Anyway, yes there are a lot of possibilities I can play with. It's also pretty frustrating when I think of a nice plot that I won't be able to write because there are a dozen or more stories that should come before. The series seems to be growing faster than I can write. Not that that's a bad thing, just frustrating.

Marker: Tippmann X7 Phenom electro-pneumatic marker
Condition: Excellent (9.0/10)
Color: black
Upgrades: Tiberius Arms tactical tri-rail on the foregrip, Tippmann folding stock, quick-feed lid for hopper
Known Problems: None - This marker may as well be brand new brand new.
Asking Price: $425 USD, Shipped and PP'd (I will only ship domestically and use PP)
Shipping Options: UPS or USPS (my discretion)
Trades of interest: None Currently (I will not accept any trades PERIOD - please do not ask)
Location of item: Eugene, Oregon USA
What is Included: Tippmann X7 Phenom, Tiberius Arms tri-rail, stock barrel, Tippmann folding stock, stock hopper with quick-feed lid, Pure Energy 88/5000 tank.
I've enjoyed this marker for the last year. It has been my pride and joy and has never given me so much as a hiccup of a problem. It shoots accurate (as accurate as a stock Tippmann barrel gets) and it's a lot of fun to play with. The flatline barrel in the pics is NOT included. I have always meticulously maintained this marker and it shows. Even still has the stock "repair kit" inside the magazine (as pictured) Short of the emblem being a bit scratched, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this marker. It's amazing. I have over a dozen markers, and I'm heading out of woodsball more and more, so it needs to find someone who will enjoy and use it more than me. As stated above, I will cover shipping (so long as my asking price is met) as well as PayPal fees. I feel that as the seller, that should be my responsibility anyway. I'm not looking to trade at all (paintball or not). If you're interested or have any questions please post here AND PM me.
The tank is a Pure Energy 88 cubic inch 5000PSI carbon fiber tank. It is in great condition, and it is CURRENT HYDRO (was last tested 10/07, so it expires 10/12). It has never given me a problem at all, only reason I am letting it go is because once I sell the Phenom I really won't have much use for it. I also have an additional 3 HPA tanks (all steel, all Gorilla and all 62ci/3000) as well as a remote line with slide check that I'd be willing to throw in for an additional $100 (Making it $525 total - I'll even eat the extra shipping).
I am completely unwilling to part out the marker or separate the tank and marker, so please do not ask. If you're interested or have any questions please email me and i will respond ASAP.
Feel free to message me for additional photos. I have MANY more.
Here's some pics.
Thanks for looking!!!

Miguel's Restaurant is very accommodating!Posted on 05 / 15 / 2013
My family and I frequent Miguel's Restaurant and they're always very accommodating to my vegan needs. They have many dishes with beans and vegetables including burritos and other dishes easy to make vegan. If you love spicy food, they don't have a huge variety of spicy sauces but the food in general is fresh and delicious. They have vegan cheese and fresh produce so I always feel comfortable eating their food. The restaurant can be a little cold sometimes, so bring a sweater when you eat there! Although I'm also sure the staff would be happy to adjust the temperature if you ask. Overall a delicious and clean restaurant with a fun environment and a great interior design!
Cons: can be cold inside

Retailers gripe they weren't in the loop on Ashland bus rapid transit
BY ROSALIND ROSSI Transportation Reporter December 10, 2013 9:04PM
A CTA bus travels north on Ashland Avenue earlier this year. The CTA proposed a plan for bus rapid transit - or a dedicated bus lane - along 16 miles of Ashland Avenue. | Sun-Times files
Article Extras
Updated: January 12, 2014 6:42AM
A group of retailers, including Costco, used an "open house" about plans to put a dedicated bus lane down 16 miles of Ashland Avenue as a chance to chastise the Chicago Transit Authority on Tuesday for not contacting them about the massive project.
Looking around at dozens of display boards, Adam Cole of Advance Auto Parts said several national retailers on Ashland have not been informed about the project and "we're realizing there's significant momentum" for the $160 million plan.
"None of us have even been approached and we represent significant business interests on Ashland," Cole said.
Steve Ftacek, general manager of Costco at 1430 S. Ashland, said he could "stay here all night" reading the two five-inch thick appendices to the environmental assessment of the impact of a bus rapid transit line down the center of Ashland, from 95th to Irving Park. However, Ftacek said he was concerned that confining cars, trucks and the No 9 Ashland bus to one lane of traffic in each direction would hurt business at the big box store that opened in June 2012.
"You don't go to Costco in a bus. You go to Costco in a car because it's bulk items," Ftacek said.
One CTA official offered to meet with the national retailers and assured them the CTA was still gathering input.
Derrick Williams, 43, traveled from the South Side to Juarez High School, 1450 W. Cermak, to learn more about the Ashland BRT and walked away from the open house impressed.
"I believe it's a good idea. They want to speed up travel time" for buses, Williams said.
Officials estimate the BRT will average 15.9 mph — closer to the 21 mph of the Red Line than the 8.7 mph of the No 9 Ashland bus during rush hour.
The plan also would ban most left turns off Ashland except for a few leading directly to expressway ramps. Even CTA display boards conceded the left turn limitations have been a major point of contention but noted that officials are "still developing the Ashland BRT design, and are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public."
A second open house will be held Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Pulaski Park Fieldhouse, 1419 W. Blackhawk. Through Dec. 20, comments can be emailed to email@example.com.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may be besieged by paparazzi at their compound in Savannah, but at least they don't have to worry about a knock on the door from out-of-state police officers. On Tuesday, Prosecutors in North Carolina's New Hanover County threw out a warrant for Affleck's arrest issued in response to a local woman's claim that the actor had threatened her life on Sept. 25, the Associated Press reports. Not only could officials not find any evidence to support the allegations made by Tara Ray (who also claimed she had been romantically involved with the actor since February 2002), but police couldn't even find her after repeated attempts to contact her after the warrant's issue on Satuday.
Kure Beach resident Ray claimed in the warrant that Affleck had called her and said he was coming to ''blow your [expletive] head off.'' Though Magistrate Ralph Ellen II signed the warrant and stated that there was probable cause to believe the incident occurred, District Attorney John Carriker said there was no evidence that Affleck had ever met Ray or had ever been to Kure Beach. ''This is a very good example of why people shouldn't be able to take out a warrant without any kind of police investigation,'' Carriker told AP, though he added that his office did not plan to seek charges against Ray.
Talking to EW.com on Tuesday, Affleck spokesman Ken Sunshine reiterated the actor's assertion that he had never met Ray or been to her town. Besides, Sunshine said, the ''50 paparazzi'' camped out at his Georgia home for the last few weeks (since he and J. Lo retreated there after cancelling their wedding) can account for his every move.

Mother's Day-If Tomorrow Starts Without Me.
Posted on:
Mother's Day isn't the same for me anymore,since I lost my mom a couple of years ago. On Mother's Day after losing my mom, I always try to reflect on happy memories of my mother. I found this two years after her death, while cleaning up her computer that I inherited after her death.
After doing a little digging on the internet, I found this to be a poem or a song that has an Unknown Author. I thought it was perfect way of her telling me good bye and not to worry about her….
When I'm 64
Posted on:
My mother never liked to talk about her age, but I can't help thinking about her today. A year before her death in 2007 we talked about and watched the stories about Paul McCartney turning 64. We got on the subject about the song that was playing in the background of the news stories, the one he wrote and recorded with the Beatles for his father titled "When I'm Sixty-Four". I joked that when she turned 64 I would play that song for her on her birthday. Today if my mother was still alive, she would have been turning 64. So here to my mother and anyone else who is turning 64 today. I wish everyone a very happy birthday and to share this song with you.

New York weather seems to be going through some kind of identity crisis at the moment. One day it's full on fall weather and the next day we're back to bare legs. I'm not complaining though, who doesn't like getting the best of both worlds?
I wore my dreamy new camel coat from McQ Alexander McQueen on one of the chillier days last week and I have a feeling we'll be best friends this fall. Love the clean, menswear-inspired cut + oversized lapels!

My style is pretty minimal but leopard print is still a neutral in my book. This coat from Sandro is pretty much the perfect statement piece for fall, love the leather collar!

Last week it finally got cold enough to whip out this gorgeous burgundy vest that I've been dying to wear for months. I wore it over a midnight blue cashmere sweater, but I could definitely see it thrown over a leather jacket once the degrees starts dropping. Such a fun piece for layering!
