Kimono 2

Let me start this post by mentioning that today is day 100 of this blog. I do not think I have ever done anything consecutively for 100 days, except breath and drink wine - (kidding…kind of) Anyway, I am proud that I have stuck with it, and simultaneously terrified that I still have another 265 days to go! Oh man, I am going to need to visit Long Island or Sanibel soon to re-up!

This is a vintage silk kimono, if you read the blog regularly, you know that this is kimono #2, and if one kimono is good, two is of course much better. Speaking of doing things for more than 100 days in a row, this weekend I was initiated into the world of Vedic Meditation. If all goes as planned, this will be a twice a day practice to help with stress and to bring peace to the mind, body and spirit, yep, I really live in California now! I'll keep you posted on that as well.

Ommmm…….

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.
