Hi there,

Well it seems that the flu that was going around hasn't spared us afterall. I got home from work yesterday only to find Ben very sick. Feaver and throwing up. Terrible. To tell you the truth, I'm not really surprised. Ben's been on the go like crazy for the past month, I thought he was sick a few weeks ago but he wouldn't slow down and rest. I guess now he has no choice. I feel alright but then I hardly ever get sick, hopefully I continue to stay healthy, I hate being sick on Halloween. A few weeks ago, I went crazy with decorations at the Pottery Barn Kids halloween sale so I'll probably spend the weekend decorating the front of the house. This is the first year that we'll be getting trick or treaters, we used to live in an apartment building so we never got to hand out candy before. I've already got my costume figured out but I'm keeping it a surprise for now... what are you guys going as? Are any of you still young enough to trick or treat? Or is it a bowl of candy and a scary movie on the couch for you this year?

(Ps. Below you'll see that I've begun my exciting week of Halloween outfits. Today I was inspired by the amazing Kenzo eye jeans. I saw them on Win Butler from Arcade Fire when they performed on SNL and I said, I must have those for Halloween.)

Hi there!

Okay, you may all be wondering what I'm doing posting at 1:00 on a Monday and the answer is this... PRO-D DAY!!!! I'm pretty damn excited... you are probably less excited I realize but I don't care. I've spent the morning doing the little things that I haven't been able to do for the past month. I cleaned our house personally (We actually have a cleaner who normally does it), I put the new bedding I bought on the beds in the guest rooms and cooked myself a Delicious lunch made up of a turkey caprese sandwich (recipe here) using the leftovers from the turkey I made on Saturday when Ben's sisters Pip, Jane and their male counterparts came over for dinner. Yum!

I've been working on my post showing you a bit of what's in my house... I know I've been promising this all summer but I really am getting closer to being finished. It's just that I keep adding things and changing things (I call it the re-design virus - which I believe I caught from my mother many years ago). I won't promise when it will be finished but I will promise that someday (hopefully soon) it will indeed be finished.

For now I have some outfit posts for you. I hope September rocked for you too and I also hope you're looking forward to Halloween, I have to dress up this year... any ideas?

(PS. Anyone else watch the Arcade Fire SNL Special? I did and suddenly I'm about a million times more excited for their new album (if that's even possible) and am in desperate need of Win's Kenzo eye print pants... weren't those so freakin' cool!? The only thing that could have made it better is if he were wearing them with nothing else... Iggy Pop style... sexy... and a little ridiculous.)

(PPS. I was thinking about adding a little feature to every outfit post, like a little blurb that talks a bit about the outfit, like where I got something or why I bought it... I don't know, it's still just an idea. What do you think?)
