Bell Sleeves & Game Of Thrones

August 26, 2016 by suzanne carillo

Are you a fan of the bell sleeves trend?

I believe we can thank the resurgence of bell sleeves directly to Game of Thrones and this powerful, sinister and slightly crazy woman…

I think you need to be a queen in order to wear such massive bell sleeves. These aren’t meant for doing household chores, going to the bathroom or walking the dog. Queens don’t bother with these mundane details of daily life. That is what servants are for. Thus why she is able to carry off those gigantic sleeves with such grace.

Back in the early 1500’s Kings and queens had someone to wipe their backside called the “Groom of the Stool”. This was considered a very powerful and prestigious job. Here is a little funny video about the position.

And you thought you had the worst job in the world!

Lucky for me my bell sleeves will not require help on the loo nor will I need to worry about dragging them through sauce whilst eating.

I’m wearing baby bell sleeves for the modern day gal.

Thank heavens for practicality!

Must Have Favourite Fall Picks

August 24, 2016 by suzanne carillo

I’m not one that wants to rush summer out the door. With our long winters, summer is never an unwelcome guest at my house.

That said when September rolls around I am inclined to start looking at the newest fall offerings in the stores. They always have great displays and inspiration to pump up my style imagination.

Something about the tradition of going back school and buying some new clothes for the first day has stuck with me.

Every September I buy myself something special. (Like I need an excuse!)

These are some of the items I’ve been eyeing up lately.
