Be the kind of woman

that when your feet

hit the ground each morning

the devil says,

"OH CRAP, SHE'S UP!"

hastalık

Tam hasta olma zamanı ve ben yine kaçırmadım. Hemen hastalandım.

Her yıl grip aşısı olurum bol bol meyve yerim c vitamini uğruna ama yine de bu dönemleri hastalanmadam geçiremem.

Aslında bu mevsimden sonra en az ayda bir :p Anlayacağınız kışı hasta geçiriyorum.Bütün kış hastanelerde doktorlarda geçer. Antibiyotikler, vitaminler, iğneler... Umarım bu yıl bi değişiklik olur. sapasağlam bi kış geçiririm.

Şimdi evdeyim dinleniyorum bol bol bi an önce iyileşip koşuşturmaya kaldığım yerden devam edebilmek için

Siz de iyi bakın kendinize ben alışık olduğum için fazla zorlanmıyorum :) ama insanın hayatı birden duruyor her şey aksayıveriyor.

Önlem almak lazım biraz da bol bol elleri yıkamak gerek ne kadar az kişiyle temas ederseniz okadar iyi. Malum havada bütün mikroplar ama yine de dikkat etmek lazım. Otobüslerde metrolarda kalabalık yerler daha kötü.

decisions, decisions!

Garden Path Quilt Finished

Finished just in time to go in the booth tomorrow at the quilt show.

From Prospere Magazine: Allison Izu's Fall 09 Line!

Petite denim designer Allison Izu Song, recently opened her online store, meaning that there's no need to wait for her line to appear in stores near you. Allison's Fall 2009 collection is influenced by the 1980s - lots of gold zippers (no worries, you don't need linebacker shoulder pads to go with the jeans!), but she is also keeping her standard dark indigo and asphalt black washes. New this season are the super-skinny Ultra Kohole, also known as the "UK"(these jeans are so skinny that they feel like leggings...er....jeggings!). This is also available as a capri. Another new item is the Nolu miniskirt (can be worn either high or low-waisted). She has also brought back the Kohole (which has a top-stiched princess lines to elongate petite legs), the Honolulu as well as Paniolo. Every pair of Allison Izu jeans are made for the petite frame. Full length jeans come in a 31" inseam as well as a shorter, 27" lengths. The 27" is a rare find, even with petites! Size-wise, they range as small as 000 (for 23-24" waists) up to a 10 (30-32" waists).

(l- Ultra Kohole; r- Nolu mini - Fall '09 AVAILABLE ONLINE OCTOBER 10!)

uzun bir ara

Uzun bi ara verdim biliyorum. Öyle hızlı geçti ki zaman ne zaman bayram oldu ne zaman bitti anlayamadım. Bayramdan önce ne zaman bilgisayarın başına otursam bloggera giriş yapamadım. Sinirlerim bozuldu bu nasıl bi iş kaç tane kullanıcısı var bu sorun nasıl halledilmez anlayamıyorum.

Bayramdan önce malum nedenden dolayı yazamadım.Bayramda da tatile gittik. Çok güzeldi okul öncesi moral oldu. Gezdik, eğlendik, güldük, dans ettik. Kısacası süperdi. Döndükten sonra temizlik hazırlık derken çok yoruldum. Bi de akşamüstü İ. ile birlikte alışveriş merkezine gittik.Sağolsun çocuk gibi bahanelerle gezdirmedi bizi :) Yeni saç kremi şampuan aldım bakalım nasıl olcak. schwarzkopf gliss Total Repair 19 aldım. Biraz kullandıktan sonra gelişme olursa hemen yazarım :)

Bu arada okul ve dersane başladı fazla zaman ayıramıyorum bazen arayı birazcık uzatırsam kızmayın bana :)
Öpüldünüz!

Brrrrurberry

Whoops! I was a little late for the Burberry show last night and after standing about in the freezing cold I was finally let in to peek over the crowds instead of taking up my part of the bench between Mary-Kate and Daisy (as you can see they were obviously disappointed about that =;x)

It was a gorgeous show, I didn't expect anything less and by the final confetti fall there was a whole list of wanted outfits in my moleskine.

I'm off to find Sonny, he's the whole reason I was late, he borrowed my limo and was late to return it and my lovely driver. I'm going to do some serious Manolo foot stamping!
