This person decides what's fashion?

Oy...
Not for the first time this week, I have noticed that many a fashion guru or editor is sooooo poorly dressed that I just want to crawl into my tv and smack them.

I am no fashionista, but even I know when something is butt-ugly and I'll fitting.

Zanna Roberts Rassi, you were so very, very...well....Ew

Poor fit....tent like..sandwich board...bra strap showing....monstrosity of a dress. How can you even tell people what is fashionable when you wear something like this?


Am I wrong? What is it that I don't get?
Believe me...I don't get this dress?

As for the designers..yawn city. Every single dress..snooze-fest except the winner.
Although, I think the dropped sleeve would drive me nuts.

I may have slid around like a 6 year old on the new, slick surface.

And the Remodel Saga Continues...

A few updates from whydidwestartthisremodelduringtheholidaymonths front....................


The hubs went rogue with a paint choice....a bad paint choice..... and God smiled down upon my retinas and that stuff peeled like a ripe tangerine....Thank you!


New color....it's more yellow in person


The front on my apron front sink came with a gouge. I know SS will scratch, but it should be my family that does the scratching...gouges don't buff out so easy. Back it went and a replacement is on its way. 


a cat may have stepped in the paint

Finally, the floors and cabinetry arrive 

I am one cabinet short and one cabinet over and my correct cabinet is waiting for me at ikea.

We hope to be done by Christmas, barring any more issues. We still need to pick a faucet and a stove. We will get a new fridge after the first of the year.
We are looking at one of these babies....


That's right....freezerless. I know, right.
There is a whirlpool/kenmore that is similar, but the inside is just a smidge different..I am leaning toward that one.

Hope your holiday season is less stressful but just as exciting!
