Beer wise anyway!
When the Yazoo brewery at Marathon Village opened its doors to quality-beer-hungry Nashvilleans, I remember my friends and my husband raving about growlers and how cool they are – recyclable, bang for your buck, really great way to buy and transport beer!
That was, what, 2004? Fast forward to today when I found this article about growlers. Looks like our local brewery was (is) WAY ahead of the curve!
Makes me proud! *tear*

Via Kottke - LV faked or customized in many many forms. I like the trash bag, the pig and the scooter. I wonder if my trash pickup will grab a LV bin? Huh… idea….

Harper’s Bazaar online has a feature on the Mark, Charlotte and Samantha – The Royal Ronsons complete with a lookbook of the siblings dressed up like the Tenenbaum kids.
I had no idea that Samantha and Charlotte are twins!! And Mark is, well, he’s just simply delicious isn’t he?

Took a detour on the way home today and stopped at Posh in Hillsboro Village to look at shoes. Didn’t expect to buy or even find anything, I’ve been looking for a pair of comfy, wedge style shoes and so far I’ve come up empty. Slingbacks don’t work on my feet for some reason and everything else is just to heavy.
My eyes fell on a pair of black, velvet platforms with a teeeeeeny peep toe. It was SO cute, and very affordable. Turns out Posh Shoes just started carrying Melissa shoes.
Melissa is a line of plastic, jelly-like shoes. ** Thanks to Tom for catching what I completely misunderstood as a bio. Zaha Hadid is an artist/architect who has lent her designs to the Melissa line (Tom feel free to throw in the correct bio in comments if I’m still off – ta!). The shoes have been sold worldwide for a few years now. I am so proud to credit my little sister for first telling me about these shoes. She has a couple of pairs and I’m pretty sure has had them since 2007. She’s my inspiration for style and without her, I’d look like everyone else and dress really badly.
So, they may not look it, but they’re really comfortable and the material used is very flexible so it doesn’t rub too badly on your feet unlike the Crocs line of non-clog shoes. That black t-strap (t-straps, btw are the rage this fall/winter) is available in fuchsia at Posh Shoes, and they have another pair that I almost bought but I didn’t want to risk being overdrawn. It’s The Little Prince!
I couldn’t find another angle to it but you can kind of see how the drawing spans over both toes (brilliant!) and there’s more on the inside of the shoe too. SO cute.
These are the ones I got:
They are exactly what I was looking for – light weight, comfortable (it’s practically flat) and my toes are scrunched together at the toe. It’s exactly what I needed for work.

Isaac Mizrahi did it, then there was Proenza Schouler, then Patrick Robinson and Richard Chai. Come January, we can add Thakoon to the growing list of designers creating practice designer wear for us less-than-riche folk. I loved the white shirts he did for the Gap last year so I’m eager to see what he has in store for us.
The line’s supposed to be available in January. I don’t mind waiting as long as it doesn’t disappoint like Jovovich-Hawk’s Target line did.
