Packing and Shipping

That's a wrap for Brussels.

I Like Tom Ford

"You gotta learn in life what makes you feel comfortable in terms of clothing and that’s what you should wear. "

So said Tom Ford. True, right? I am not a sneakers or tennis shoes person. I cannot wear them outside of a gym. Also, denim skirts. I look retarded in denim skirts. So I like what Tom Ford says. I like more than that. I like his designs, his ageless look, his movies, the story where he says he carried a brief case to school as a child in Texas. Mega-brave, so much sense of self. I watched A Single Man with Colin Firth and I want to watch Nocturnal Animals. I like all of Tom Ford.

On the Rue Blaes

I was in Brussels this past weekend. I am emptying my house of furniture. I will ship some to Vilnius; I have sent some to the consignment shop and some I will leave on the curb side. I hate packing. But I also still found time to look at some Antiques and things.  That dog is so huge, so Ancient...he too is Antique. I think he lives in the store.

 

My favourite discovery are these rugs by JINZU made out of recycled cotton. They are made in Spain. Went mad and bought a few.

Winter White

Secretary Clinton's outfit is on-point. White in the winter? Absolutely. I loved all of Olivia Pope's outfits on Scandal precisely because of the colour scheme- buttery creams and white. And it's hard to find a white or cream coat in the winter sometimes. If you are looking in Europe, try Guess or Massimo Dutti. I am at the United Nations this week for work and I am wearing white leather and cream to work with a white over coat. Yeah, that's just how us "nasty" women do it...go to work, ignore men and their "nasty woman" comments and get stuff done!

Decorating in the Tall Trees of Vilnius

I am now living less than a kilometer away from a cemetery among the tall trees. I love it and I actually love my new house..or, erm, I love its deco potential. I'll be painting and tinkering a lot with it. It is decidedly dated...that bathroom, for example, will be a challenge. I am replacing my Brussels furniture with some new pieces and I am looking forward to the end result. And yes, it comes with a sauna too.
