Computer Woes & The Other Side of My 1960’s Vintage Cape

December 3, 2013 by suzanne carillo

They told me get a Mac…

…you'll have no viruses

…your computer will always be fast

…there will be no down time

…there are no issues with Mac software

…all the products work together seamlessly

…you will never use all the memory

…the RAM works better and faster than a PC

…once you go Mac you will never go back.

 

I call BULLSH**

 

Seriously. 

This computer isn't even 3 years old yet, and it is acting like a spoiled moody teenager.

I bought the top-of-the-line, fastest, biggest dang Apple and the thing is stalling and freezing on me non-stop. I'm falling asleep waiting for my psychedelic rainbow wheel to stop spinning.

I'm afraid I won't even be able to pull my files off of here fast enough. I have to go and buy a new backup drive tomorrow and then take this piece of garbage into Apple for repair. That is going to play some serious havoc on my blogging.  Also I have a feeling I can't just walk into Apple and tell them to repair it. I have to "schedule an appointment".  No wonder Apple is red…they are covered in red tape.

 

So while this computer is not having a hissy fit right now I'm going to quickly try to squeeze in some photos of the other side of my cape that I wore out on Sunday.

 

Plaid 1960s vintage cape

I'm still trying to get used to taking some photos in my new office so bare with me while I try to get the lighting working better and not cut off my feet.

Which side of the cape do you prefer?

 

Are you PC or Apple person?  Reasons? And also any computer problems?

 

We took in a Christmas market at the Distillery district downtown. Very fun with carolling, mulled wine, decorations and huge beautiful trees.

Losing The Battle of the Dress

December 2, 2013 by suzanne carillo

Well I told you we had to go and try on this dress

Flapper dress

from Cabaret Vintage once it was ordered in both of our sizes. 

Hazel was first to try it on and immediately I knew it was going to her. 

The fit and length was perfect. 

I tried it on knowing that it would not be coming home with me. That crack is the sound of my heart breaking.

It requires a shorter gold slip underneath and looks much better with the nude legs Hazel has and not my boots and black tights.

Gold dress battle

I think we can all agree that Hazel won this battle. She is filling out that dress. 

This dress is going to be gorgeous while dancing on New Year's Eve, with the tassles swinging. 

Hazel also picked up a vintage coat and another little jacket.

I scored a little item too that I tried on last minute.  While trying it on a male shopper told me,  "It would be a travesty if you don't take that home with you."

Who was I to argue?
