Happy Thursday!
I admit to being an Olympic fan and have been enjoying these games, despite my initial ambiguity.
That said, I can't help but share the following tribute that Buzzfeed put up about Canada this morning:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/tanyachen/heartwarming-ways-canada-has-already-won-the-winter-olymp
Yes, we're Canada. And yes, we like being nice....
Oh and completely off topic, I saw the Jason Wu/Hugo Boss show last night and swooned when I saw this:
I love him...
The clothes were good too, especially this dress:
and this one:
Now I just need a book launch to wear something like this to!
Have a great day! Stay safe out there!
Canadians have always been endearing. Take the chick out of the picture and I'll swoon too. Stay safe and warm and remember the booze may have to last a few days so drink responsibly. Oh, watched Enough Said las night. It was quite endearing also.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked that movie - I loved it!!! Okay - just pretend it's you, not Anna!
DeleteWe watch the olympic games every night too! I am torn between rooting for The US or German teams,haha.
ReplyDeleteThe kaukasus is such a beautiful area,i would love to see it someday.
It really looks amazing Ina!
Deletei have not watched the Olympics but am very happy with the Canadian showing. Nice dress but an author said the dress needs to stand out in a sea of black during the book launch. Not that you will have any problems with your personality shining like a beacon.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Marie!
DeleteOH Sherlock.
ReplyDeleteAm anxiously awaiting news of your tour. I need an excuse to wear some fripperies and finery, although, sadly not Hugo, Oscar or Jason...
I would be happy to help you pick one out, however!
You are a good friend! No tour yet! Just started submitting to literary agents in the last week. so far, one has asked for the full manuscript, but it is quite a ride!
DeleteIt only takes one!. I went to a speech at my son's school a few years back and listened to Dan Gutman, children's author extraordinaire. He showed us the first 100 rejections he received! I am crossing my fingers for you...
DeleteDont you just love buzzfeed? I cant find the link but there was a buzzfeed thing about canadian graffiti and it was like - have a nice day! very sweet.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm surprised it didn't say "Excuse me, eh?"
DeleteOMG Benedict is so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteNo Olympics for me, but Canadians are lovely!
You need to come over to Aus for a visit on your tour!
Ruth, I definitely will. I have cousins in NZ, so need to add Aus to the itinerary!
DeleteLovely dresses indeed. Good luck with the book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! Would have to sell a LOT of books to afford a Boss dress!
DeleteOh, that's good news about the manuscript Wendy - fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI love this article, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Wendy for not letting me miss this! Canada is showing us all what the Olympics should be about!
ReplyDeleteI think you are likely a bit canadian!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. Both of my paternal grandparents were born in Canada to expat Americans. My great-great grandfather was the Damon Runyon of Canada for the first half of the 20th Century.
DeleteOh you must tell - I am wracking brain!
DeleteAw, I am so darn proud of the Canadian athletes - they are really putting on a class act!
ReplyDeleteI love Sherlock too!!! You will get a kick out of this - he makes an appearance on Sesame Street.

This made me laugh out loud! So cute!
Love it Louise!
DeleteI loathe The Olympics and haven't seen a smidgeon of it but I love Benedict, he has such a strange yet mesmerising face and his interviews are great, he's good fun.
ReplyDeleteOh too bad, we are having great fun watching them!
DeleteHugo Boss is very popular here in Luxembourg... I have tried some clothes for woman and I have been disappointed by the quality. Now, they have several brands and may be I bought the cheap one... I also found that you really need to be a model to wear their clothes...
ReplyDeleteSteph, I have found you need to be a model to wear a LOT. Of clothes, sadly.... :-)
DeleteCongrats on getting a full manuscript request! Every little bit is something to be celebrated, I think.I guess from the pics above it looks like the midi-skirt will still be sticking around for a little while. A rather unfortunate style on me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Is quite a process - try to find lit agent, they try and find you a publisher.....
DeleteI am with you on the length unless it is proportioned perfectly!
That boy's getting everywhere - and he can act his socks off as well.
ReplyDeleteCrickey, is that Nuclear Wintour without sunglasses!!
I know - I hardly recognized her!
DeleteHi ,
ReplyDeleteHope your vday dinner was yummy! I have a question for you. Did you order the Campbell Capri in wave? If so did the fit well and was the color and pattern what you expected? Thought I remembered you chatting about them however I could have the wrong person in mind. Memories not what it used to be! Was thinking of ordering them during the sale. Thx Wendy
I did, but am sending them back. I ordered regular, but at 5'2", I really needed petite for it to swoosh at the bottom! my complaint is that they hit at a funny place in the waist and seem to want to accentuate my muffin top (!) so they are less flattering at the waist than the café capris, but I liked the way they hit at the bottom. They were a great print and when I am south I may go up a size and see what I think. I am worried that a size larger in the waist will make my bottom, thighs and hip swim. sigh... Hope that helps!!!!
