St. Petersburg was the next stop on our beyond-amazing adventure. Geesh, did we ever had a great time. Mind and eye candy were everywhere we looked.

Sunday Sweetness #9: Shoes
What is it about shoes? I just love ’em. I do. Perhaps it is Marilyn Monroe who said it best, Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world. I happen to think that shoes are the most important part of an outfit. No matter how ho-hum your outfit is, the right… Continue reading Sunday Sweetness #9: Shoes
Saturday Snapshots: Russian Ceilings
Though I’m still working on my St. Petersburg post, I thought that I’d share with you one of my favorite aspects of the trip…looking at ceilings.

Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting a black… Continue reading Saturday Snapshots: Russian Ceilings

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved collecting. Collecting is fun. For me, it is a wonderful reminder of life’s positive experiences. I also love collecting because it is an opportunity to learn new things, which is always one of my favorite things to do! Another Silver Lining of collecting is that it’s personal.… Continue reading Arty Pants
Silver Lined Adventure: Moscow
Intriguing. That would be the one word I would use to summarize my feelings about our magnificent trip to Russia….planned for and executed by the indomitable Indagare (you know how much I loooooove this company!).
