Handsome in Pink
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, April 12, 2011
A few weeks ago I was clicking around on-line and came across a clothes website that caught my eye.
I really like the website, but what stopped me in my tracks was an article, prominently displayed, written by the company’s designer. The accompanying picture featured the woman happily painting her son’s toenails pink.
That seemed really strange.
I thought about this for a few minutes and I think... READ MORE
Putting My Foot Down

The September issue of Family Circle includes a full page photograph of a model’s foot sporting a delicate strappy stiletto sandal and a heavy woolen sock.
Not in the “fashion don’t” section, mind you, but under the headline “trendspotting.”
Googling, I find this dubious trend has been on runways for a year or more.
Ladies, I am not a fashion maven. I try not to look utterly out of step with the times, but as I have neither the temperament nor the budget nor the figure to make shopping fun, I’m content with a style (if something so haphazard can rise to the level of a “style”) I might call “presentable middle-aged mom.”

Trendy Catholic Names

Rachel’s post from earlier this morning has me thinking about baby names. I was happy to come across this article from USA Today discussing parents’ reactions to trendy baby names.
At the top of the article, you’ll find a totally cool tool that looks at the past century of names, listing the top fifty boys and girls names for each decade. It turns out that when my parents named me “Lisa Marie”... READ MORE
Crocs: Love 'em or Hate 'em?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, July 17, 2009
A friend’s Twitter post yesterday pointed me to this Washington Post article predicting the demise of the ubiquitous foot fashion: Crocs. The article author points to the financial doom and gloom facing the company in light of the current economic downturn:
Who needs a second pair of Crocs in a recession, particularly when the first pair is holding up just fine?
Reading the article sent me upstairs... READ MORE
