What drive is it? Apple's time capsule?
You've All Been There
I bought a new external hard drive to transfer my files onto from my failing Mac so I can take it in to get repaired. It is a network drive which means it plugs into my router and then I should be able to access all of my files on that drive from any computer in the house. I have an old PC tha...
Did it have the desired effect? Is it solved now or still struggling?

Yeah, I've been there; (too) many times:-(. Makes you wanna scream and cry from frustration, despair and anger. At least…I wanna, at moments like that.
Hope all ends well and so on!
And you look better then the guy;-)

Was sure I already commented on this post, but see it nowhere. Oh well, once again: love the outfit and amazing how you still have a waist after all that layering. I would look like a Michelin woman;-). Love the boots too. Want!
Scapegoat & Blue Boots
I'm big on my layering lately. Chilly weather will do that. I have a dark blue merino wool Gap sweater on under all of this. Then the jean jacket and leather jacket. Thank heavens I have the leopard belt giving me back my waist here. With all of the layers I was beginning to look rather puffy. ...
That's a great buy, that coat. It looks fab on you. Tell me, is it just me or are you getting prettier with every post you publish?! You look really nice, Suzanne!
Funny how in Singapore some fashionistas sometimes complain about the eternal summer here, as in: we can never wear winter clothes.
I am not one of them, since I hate winter and am also not really a fan of winter clothes. I realize every year again, that I find dressing myself much easier and more fun in summer then in winter. Clothes are lightweight and have happy colors. You feel light yourself since you don't have to cover up so much. In winter the thick clothes make me look and feel fatter then I am. Colors are often dark and boring. And so on. I'll take summer clothes all year round, thank you very much!
Menswear Inspired Coat
This year I felt I needed a new coat. I wanted something bright. Not the usual, brown, black or grey. You know me, I love me some colour. I came across this tailored coat by Donna Karan at the Bay Outlet. It's hard to tell here but the colour is a very rich jewel toned pink/burgundy. Because ...
Zoe looks ever so cute and sure is a professional top model! Ofcourse also thanks to your great pictures. You know that since I know about you and Zoe, I come across pugs everywhere all the time. This morning going through a magazine, there was this pug sketch in black and white and yesterday we went fashion shopping, but instead ended up cuddling with pugs in one of the shops. They sold the funniest pug clothes as well, btw!
Professional Pug Model For Hire
My pug Zoe does not mind having her photo taken. Especially when there might be some treats invovled. She is willing to do just about anything. Sit on a table so we can get some good lighting? No problem. Sit on a scary plastic see-through chair? Check. Even prop yourself up on slippery ...
How cool, to have a fashion sketch of yourself! It's amazing! If she would 'do' me, I would hope she slims my belly and gives me a waist;-)…hahaha...
My Legs Finally Grew!
I'm so excited! A miracle has happened folks... I'm finally tall! Not in real life. That would require having both my legs broken and metal pins inserted to stretch and grow the bones. Since I hate hospitals and pain that ain't happening this lifetime. But in a fabulous fashion sketch by Anne th...
Very nice look, Suzanne. Maybe you could add a sparkly headband with sequins? And/or a sparkly clutch? And of course sparkly make up!
Make My Christmas Dress Sparkle
So I'm still a bit stuck on the idea of finding an outfit to wear for this Christmas dance we have on the weekend. I know everyone will be doing the typical thing at a Christmas dance...very fancy and lots of red. Since I really don't own any red (other than my new fantastic cape that doesn't ...
I love, love, love that red cape and the way you wear it. The baret, the black, the leather jacket…wow! I also love what you are wearing underneath. And that belt is just fab! Well done, dear, well done!
Little Red Riding Hood - What I Thought I'd Never Buy
There is no way in a million years I would remotely think in this lifetime I would ever, ever buy a 1960's reversible red cape. No way. But here is proof...never say never kids. Look at how pleased I look with myself. I'd like to say I was drunk at the time, but I was just drunk on the ama...
That dress looks pretty on you. Ok, not with those stockings and boots, but with other stockings and with heels it would be beautiful on you. Too bad you did not buy it, for another occasion e.g.
Losing The Battle of the Dress
Well I told you we had to go and try on this dress from Cabaret Vintage once it was ordered in both of our sizes. Hazel was first to try it on and immediately I knew it was going to her. The fit and length was perfect. I tried it on knowing that it would not be coming home with me. That cra...
So how's ur Mac now? Hope it is all solved and improved soon! I know how annoying it is to be without a proper functioning computer.
Your cape is fantastic with it's two sides! Very versatile. I think I had a slight preference for the red side.
Computer Woes & The Other Side of My 1960's Vintage Cape
They told me get a Mac... ...you'll have no viruses ...your computer will always be fast ...there will be no down time ...there are no issues with Mac software ...all the products work together seamlessly ...you will never use all the memory ...the RAM works better and faster than a PC ...once y...
Wow, can I work in your office?! Those pug pics and pug cushion are great! Love your collar. I have some in holland as well. The brooches work well with the collar.
I get to travel and see places. You on the other hand have the stability of living in one place and being able to concentrate on perfecting, completing and beautifying your home bit by bit! Cool too!
New Office & Estate Sale Finds
Here is how my new office is coming together... These are needlepoint done by my Great Grandma. And here I am enjoying my new office and my new DIY faux fur collar. I bought the collar plain and then stiched on the vintage brooches and ribbon. I wore it straight here ...
Those boots are great! Want!! And you look gorgeous. You must indeed be very petite, to be able to still have a waist and all with all that layering. I would look like a Michelin-lady..hahaha!

Tried five times, and NOW it works, the commenting;-). Ok, what I said earlier was this: you look fab in this outfit; with hat and without! Love it. DO drag hubbie back into tango, please, but in a shorter dress. Tangodresses are preferably at most just below the knee. Not longer. Not only for esthetical reasons (show of those legs, girl!), but also for practical reasons, like your boleo's, gancho's and the sorts;-).
Expensive Tastes
I swear that I have a sixth sense for sniffing out the most expensive items when we go consignment store shopping. This skirt is a fine example. Oh no...I'm not going to be able to say I got it for $2 (like all the other spendthrift braggers picking up pieces for .50), in fact it is very rare...
Test, test, test...

I only do BAG; BOHO, artsy, glam;-)
Wear It - Own It - BBARG
I know it looks like my boobs are trying to emulate Heimlich'sdream from A Bug's Life, flying away like beautiful butterflies. I don't care. I couldn't walk away from this Parasuco shirt when I found it at one of my favourite consignment stores. You know you've done well on your purchase ...
Poor little cursed gal! Hahaha…NOT….
Want, want, want, this whole outfit!!! That vest is superb. I have similar vests and I luv them.
Like you, I go to a shop and when I see something, I know immediately that that will go well with certain items in my closets. When I come home, very specific colors as by coincidence match perfectly to items that I already had that have something of that same unusual color in it. It's like an inner color- and style compass, I guess.
My lack of money comes to the rescue, as I therefor simply sort of 'convicted' myself to buy at H&M or at thrift shops, which is cheap. If I would have a lot of money, I would make other choices. I love Anthropology (but own nothing of them), Family Ibiza (bags, again: own nothing of them), Sendra boots (same story), and other brands, so I would buy stuff from them.
But it's fine this way too;-).
Having Good Style Sense Is A Curse
Do you ever go into stores and just pick out entire outfits? I have this annoying habit of doing just that. Case in point. Annoying because it costs me money. I literally told Robert, "We can't go into Anthropologie unless you promise to ensure I don't buy a thing. Nothing. Even if it's on ...
Love this post! The outfit is cool. (want those boots!) But the angle you chose (Sherlock) and how you wrote is is both hilarious and very well done. Really! Kudoos for you. You can write, you have an original, creative mind and your topics are eclectic and interesting.
Sherlock Holmesing Myself
Have you watched Sherlock Holmes? The updated series by BBC? I finally gave it a try via Netflix and quite liked it. And yes that is the Hobbit playing the part of John Watson. I'm Sherlock Holmes, the world's only consulting detective. I'm not going to go into detail about how I do what I ...
What a marvelous look! Pretty extravagant and unusual. It looks great on you. That bag is totally wow! Loving the whole ensemble. Btw: wanted to leave a comment on BBARG (LOL), but seem to be unable to comment there. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I love that look on you. I can totally see why you had to have that shirt. I would probably have not bought it because of the boob butterflies, but with pain in my heart.
SAD & Pink For Winter
I never thought that pastel pink could work for winter until... duh duh DUH...trend alert! this year. Now there is pink everywhere. Santa's stylist wants him to deliver presents in a mohair candy floss pink coat with a bit of rhinestones at the collar. Don't you think it'll be nice next to his...
Interesting to read about your motives and your reading process. As you know I am going to write a similar post one of these days (and you are gonna be in it;-))…. I had a different 'route' then you, but there are similarities too. You 'll see.
Why Do You Read Blogs?
Before I literally read one blog that was a blog about pugs. I read it because it was funny and there were fantastic photos showing off that cute pug. Win, win. I was reading for pleasure and fun. Then I decided I wanted to be a "style" blogger and I started to realize just how many other...
What an inventive solution! And it worked out great! Love the whole outfit, also the self-made necklace. Lovely and cool!
And you yourself, you seem to get prettier (and slimmer?) all the time! Keep using that red lipstick; it looks fab on you!
Thanks To My Readers My Anthropologie Skirt Has Been Saved
You may remember this skirt and my problem with the wonky pattern matching at the back. Thanks to the great suggestion by one of my lovely readers, Tamera-the-problem-solver, I have a solution. Voila the exposed zipper. Brilliant solution Tamera! I bought a double opening zipper. I decided...
What a story, Suzanne! I would have felt the same way as you and been as angry. I would have stood up for a while, but not sure that I would not have gotten too scared and intimidated and would have left. You were very brave!
This is crazy! Maffia-like.
I don't think we have that kind of sales and situations in the Netherlands. But maybe I just don't know about it.
What a find at an earlier sale, that cupboard. Amazing! And how cool that you found a new friend.
Looking fw to seeing your latest finds at the two sales.
Attacked By An Angry Mob Of Estate Sale Bullies
There are several companies in the Toronto area that hold Estate Sales. We scored this mid century piece for our living room for $35 from one such company. We were both ecstatic about the find and from that glorious moment onwards hooked on scavenging pieces from Estate sales. This weekend we ...
