New Men's Timepiece "The Classic" designed by Evan Yurman

Arriving in stores this month is the latest collection of men's timepieces, The Classic, designed by chief watch designer and David's son, Evan Yurman. The attention to detail is sure to make this a timeless classic, Swiss movement, guilloche dial work (a French engraving technique that features intricate engine-turned details), and of course Yurman's signature chevron braid around the watchcase. Very handsome watch...I’d wear one....hint hint

Could not help myself, I had to take a photo of this fabulous evening gown by Prada.  Classic cut, simple, fabric was gorgeous..... It did stop me in my tracks.

Sand Art by Kseniya Simonova

I normally do not post on Tuesdays but I thought that this was worth sharing.......

Ukrainian aritist Kseniya Simonova  won Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent" in August. Watch her as she uses a giant light box, dramatic music, and her "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

Amazing.............

Thanks Felix....  http://www.sonodea.com/  when in need of music he is the guy!

Gourmet Magazine to close........ first issue was 1941

Fellow Foodies lets all raise our wine glasses and toast the many years and meals that Gourmet Magazine has given us. They will be missed by many! I traveled the world with them and they inspired me to become the food lover I am today.

Elf on a Shelf : A Christmas Tradition?

I  have anxiously been awaiting October to post this, I didn't want to rush the season.

Ok....now I know that I am really getting old. What is this "Elf on a Shelf" stuff? I thought I knew it all.....Santa getting his beard stuck in the door, the Tooth Fairy sprinkling her fairy dust on her way out the window, the Easter Bunny and his black jelly beans.......but who is this new guy.....Elf?

Well for all of you who might have missed this listen up.....this is important stuff!

Year after year children (and adults) are always wondering how Santa really knows who has been naughty or nice? Well here the scoop, after much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has finally let his secret out in "The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition" Book. It comes with your very own North Pole Pixie Elf......OMG....now I have someone who can watch my children since they are far away. You are not too old for this........... I am sending you each one tomorrow!!
