I apologize for the unscheduled hiatus in posting, even the most commited archivists need a minute to re-group, re-up and re-stock the coffers. Visiting my mom's house in NY has been very bittersweet. Even though I have cleared so many of her belongings over the past year and a half, there are still so many special things of hers here. I saved all of the pieces I was not ready to part with at the time. I am actually so glad I did that, because as much as it can be overwhelming to deal with it all, I don't think I could have handled walking into her house with nothing of hers left in it.

So thank you for the patience, I promise it will be worth the wait, and that I will keep my 365 day promise.

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.
