Whether you are going on an adventure today or staying home, hope all of you are having a lovely day. And if you have a bed time story to read tonight— Read something wise by A.A. Milne with my favorite little bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. xoChrishttp://momathonblog.typepad.com/momathon_blog/2013/05/happy-thoughts-from-winnie-the-pooh.htmlShoe Sketchbook: Alexandre Birman's Strappy Open Toe Bootietag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e55189f588883301901c355108970b2013-05-15T10:27:32-06:002013-05-15T10:31:45-06:00I am going to start a new series of sketches of favorite shoes. Some are sketches of shoes I own, but many many are shoes I just love—the colors, the design, the "shoe architecture." Take this strappy open toe bootie. The elegant lines are divine, don't you agree?

The mentors and the judges just love this dress. Express bids $50,000, Macy's bids $60,000 - and then Terron at Saks crushes them with a bid of $200,000. He admires the styling that recalls Christian Dior's New Look, launched in 1947, and he's thrilled with Hunter's "home run.Chrishttp://momathonblog.typepad.com/momathon_blog/2013/05/more-sketches-from-fashion-star-trending-now-then.html
