Happy Thanksgiving!

Samson is almost 6 months old and cuter than ever! We just bought this Bumbo chair, which enables me to have an extra 30 (hands-free) minutes to my day. He’s the best!

New Kitchen

So, I don’t hate it. I also don’t love it. It’s a little, kinda, sorta…blue… Right? I was going for a grayish/charcoalish hue, but I guess I got cold feet at the last minute and went a little lighter than intended, but blue? Despite my Mom and Luby, I really don’t believe that dark colors will make a room smaller, so normally gray doesn’t scare me, but I think our galley style kitchen makes me second guess. Well, it’s going to stay for a while, but I’m sure it will end up white by the end of the year. In the meantime, here is round two…

Ziezo’s Jeffrey Campbell Trunk Show

One of the things I really miss about Chicago besides Bratwurst and Ikea are the unique neighborhood boutiques. There really are just a handful here in St. Louis, but one of the oldest and the first one I found when I moved here is Ziezo in the U-City Loop neighborhood. Jenna (Ziezo’s fashion aficionado) was kind enough to let me know about the upcoming Jeffrey Campbell Trunk Show. If you are not familiar with his stuff, you can check him out at Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom. I’m a little boot c-r-a-z-y at the moment, and he’s got an array of boot flavors; flats, heels and slouches with buckles, finge, peeptoe - you name it. Yummy. So, if you are in the St. Louis area try to stop by because it sounds awesome. If not, you can check out a sampling of my favorites below.

*Small Print: November 29th, from 2 to 6 pm, join the entire Ziezo staff as they welcome Ty McBride, NYC based brand specialist and line builder for hot shoe brand Jeffrey Campbell. McBride will work the Ziezo floor, along with team Ziezo, displaying an expanded collection of styles from the Jeffrey Campbell FW/0809 Collection. A limited edition Jeffrey Campbell key fob charm necklace will be given away with the first 50 shoe purchases during the trunk show. Plus, customers will be entered in a drawing for a $50.00 Ziezo gift certificate and gift bag to help get their holiday shopping started. Holiday beverages, light hors d’oeuvres and discounts storewide will accompany the in-store event.*
