In Search of the Perfect Sweater Dress

I'm somewhat of a curvy girl. A little junk in the trunk and a slight Buddha belly, so finding a flattering sweater dress has taken some investment of time. A few contenders are the J.Crew Dream lycée turtleneck dress, however I think it looks a little dowdy.

Next is the Anthropology Lancet Arch Sweater Dress. This may be the winner. If only we had an Anthropology store so I could try this on in person.

My fav is from Athleta, is the Vitis Sweater Dress, but of course it has sold out in any normal size in grey!

All of these would potentially look great with the new Marc Fisher Agnes riding boots I just ordered.

Happy Halloween

ThaKing and I had a great time greeting the neighborhood trick or treaters. I found out about 4:15pm that trick or treat began at 5:00pm. I rushed to shower and get ready. ThaKing had to handle the first round of pint size beggars on his own, and this was Elka's first Halloween, mind you. She nearly burst out the door and ran over the kids! I ran down the steps in my bathrobe almost handing out an unintended treat, just in time to grab Elka! After a few kids, Elka got the hang of it and laid nicely at the front door, forcing me to step over her long frame.

Doggie Duvet

How cute and stylish is this? I know a giant white dog that may be getting one. At Molly Mutt you can order these lovely duvets, along with stuff sack which you fill with all of those old t shirts, socks, etc. Way more haute and green than the run of the mill dog bed!

Happy 1st Birthday Elka!

Elka turned 1 this past Friday! She is such a big girl now! She listens better and is readily eager to please. Weighing in a 75 pounds (and still growing) she is a big white mountain of love!

Go for the Gold

Washington State University just started shipping their wonderful, award winning, cheeses to KY. I immediately placed an order for some Cougar Gold, a white cheddar, on Monday. I was so surprised to open our refrigerator on Wednesday to find the Cougar Gold had arrived! It's only $18 for a 30 oz. can. Go Cougars!
