The Cool Kid

Madison is the subject of this post as she really shines in front of the camera. Kids in these digital days have such an advantage, we had to wait centuries to see our pictures.

Fingers Crossed

I was unable to make it to the Mich. Ave H&M on Saturday, (mainly because waiting inline at 7a.m. alongside like-sized shoppers giving me the stink eye doesn't really appeal to me). However, I spoke to my oh-so-fashionable opera singer brother-in-law, and as we gushed over the yellow ruffles and metallic oxfords, he mentioned to me that the debut in  Madrid was Tuesday. Not only that, but he and his wife would be one of those dedicated shoppers standing in line with their lil' fashionista, Daniella in tow. I suggested a few pieces that I had my eye on, and if they should so happen to see it in a 38........

Leaps and Bounds




photos by Koko Quiza


It has been a rare transition of the seasons. We've held on to the weather that would allow us to sleep with our windows open, just a crack, well into November. As the year winds down (ever so quickly, eek!) I am getting more and more excited for the approaching year. This past year, I made a cautious entrance into the world of photography. Capturing moments that before I could only visit in the depths of my imagination. Having taken the leap and purchasing a camera cost-equivalent to one's rent, has allowed me to share my thoughts without words.

POPPING UP AND BACKING UP

I HAVEN'T HAD MY HEAD IN A HOLE. WELL NOT LITERALLY.  I WOULDN'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE THE MOST COMPUTER SAVVY PERSON, HOWEVER, I NEVER IMAGINED THAT I WOULD BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE AS TO LOSE MY PHOTOS THE DAY AFTER ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS FOR 7THMARKET TO DATE. I SPENT ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF IN ANGONY. I EVEN DREAMED THAT I HAD TAKEN ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL TOMMY TON-ESQUE BACKSTAGE PHOTOS AND THEY WERE AVAILABLE ON MY MAC, READY TO POST. I FELT INSPIRATIONLESS. UNTIL NOW.  MY HUSBAND (he's pretty dreamy) WOKE ME UP TO A COMPUTER SCREEN FILLED WITH MY "LOST" IMAGES. I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE KISSED HIM ENOUGH. THEY ARE STILL BEING SORTED THOUGH AND TOUCHED UP AS WE SPEAK. I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON AND SWIFTLY PURCHASED A NEW BACKER-UPPER-THINGY THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN (hopefully). I HOPE THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE ENOUGH EXPLANATION FOR MY NEARLY 2 WEEK HIATUS. SEE YOU SOON! KISSES!
