Owl be right there

I don't really remember my mom wearing this belt that often, but of course she did. It's an adorable owl belt, with faux emerald eyes. So of course when I volunteered to be the speller for an adult spelling bee fund raiser for my girls school, this was the perfect belt!. I put myself on stage and spelled and sang "Let it Go" from Frozen, (because the judges made me), with zero self consciousness, it felt great, because it felt like I was still being true to the kid that I have always been, the one that sang show tunes at the top of her lungs on the swings at elementary school. And somehow that owl belt brought it all home. It's ok to be goofy, and sparkly, and brainy. I only hope that I can pass that on to my girls .

This Blog comes from the heart and mind, (but mostly from the heart), of Amy Sklar, interior designer, mother, daughter, foodie, and lover of fashion.

I must admit, the driving force behind this blog was my need to somehow, some way, create a tribute to my dear mother Carole Lawrence. She was a great beauty, chef, friend and mother. Sadly, I lost her to cancer February 23rd 2013. Since beginning on February 23rd 2014 it has been my goal to wear a piece of her clothing, jewelry, or an accessory that she passed on to me, for a total of 365 days (Not in a row, sorry, I am also a mother of two, a small business owner, wife and friend. I tried to do it in a row, and it almost broke me.) I believe it is a fitting tribute to this incredible woman with the greatest sense of style I've ever known. A digital archive, a love letter, a journal, a remeberance for your children and future generations. I love you mom.
