TAG, YOU'RE IT!

What a wonderful way to get to know your fellow fashionistas! I was tagged by Fatal Attraction 2 Fashion and I am delighted!

Rules–Post rules at beginning of the post–Answer all the questions–Tag 6 people & go to their blog & leave a comment to inform them that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1) What were you doing 10 years ago?

I was applying to law schools and working as a waitress at a Mexican restaurant in Atlanta called Rio Bravo. I still can’t stand the sight of an enchilada to this day!

2) What are 5 things on your to-do list today?
i) try to survive extreme heat without A/C
ii) swiffer the dining room
iii) like Danz, do research for my next blog post (maybe on candy-stripe couture?)
iv) yoga
v) prepare raita for shrimp curry

3) Snacks you enjoy
slow-churned caramel ice cream, dark chocolate with raspberry filling, yellow cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, smoked gouda, brie, Granny Smith apples with peanut butter, Shiraz (is wine a snack??)

West Hartford, Stamford, and Farmington, CT; New York City; Salamanca, Spain; and Atlanta, GA.


5) Things you would do if you were a billionaire

i) open my own restaurant/store, a la Boogie’s Diner, with dining on one level and shopping on another (go couture crazy while enjoying a cocktail and waiting for your table!).

ii) buy a top of the line camera & some Goyard luggage and visit Canyon Ranch in AZ for a bit of pampering, Dubai, Milan, Prague, Bali (and lots of other fab destinations I have yet to see)


iii) purchase an apartment in NYC and a condo in Aspen.

iv) take my whole family on vacation in Nova Scotia at a lovely country retreat called Milford House (photo of lake and lodge at left)

Thanks, Danz Darling! Seems we have lots of similar interests, including food preferences and aspirations of magazine publication!
