Pinterest Challenge

Just a little reminder about the Pinterest challenge! You have until February 28th to finish :) Once you have completed your craft, e-mail me at tmspatz@gmail.com with your entry and I will feature it on the blog!

My Pinterest-like craft will be changing up a simple long black H&M jersey dress into a ball gown by February 22nd (ha. ha. I am totally over my head with this).
Some curtains, a few throw pillows and this will be a superb ball gown

This afternoon I will be heading out to buy some embroidery (black and gold) and see where I can add it. The dress is at the post office which I will pick up tomorrow morning. I think this might be an epic win or an epic disaster but as you should know by now, I like a challenge... as panic-inducing as they often are.

So, please join me in this challenge! Find a pin you have pinned and get your craft on! Godspeed!

Dressing your Pear Shaped Figure

Image
Welcome to today's class on pear shapes. Yesterday I talked about hourglass figures and today is the "Pear". Yay!!! To find out if you are pear-shaped, follow me! Like what I wrote yesterday, grab a pencil and piece of paper and measuring tape. Measure your ta tas, waist and hips. Then draw out the lines on a piece of paper (i.e. if your measurement is 90, draw a 9 centimeter line, etc.) If your drawing looks like this, you're a Pear shape! Mazel Tov! Ta tas:           ________________ Waist:               ____________ Hips:      ________________________ Your hips should be the widest part of your body and your waist, the smallest. Unlike an hourglass, you are more bottom heavy (not equally split). The advantage of being pear shaped is a defined waist and smaller top which means you can wear fun tops and belts at the waist and all the things that I can't wear! Boo. Celebrities with pear shapes a...

The Kid's Birthday Party and Holding it Together the Best I Can

Image
Tomorrow is the big day, the big show. The Kid is having his 4th birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday but that day is the Fasching Party at the kindergarten. Fasching is the Austro/German carnival and it kind of sucks that Fasching sounds so like Fascist. Whooops. Adults and kids dress up on Fat Tuesday and eat jelly doughnuts in preparation for lent. Or, as I like to call it, sucks to be you. Us Jews just have to fast for a day. Holla! Winning! Sigh. Anyway... tomorrow is a big day for me. Even though it really is a big day for the Kid... but the truth of the matter is, is that he could not care less about a party. Or, at least, we don't think he does. As most of you know, he has lost his language this past year and it is heart breaking but I keep hope eternal that it will come back. I think he did say "Mommy" today when a commercial for the Victoria's Secret fashion show was on but the camera was on Ed Sheeran... so... actually... he proba...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
