I haven’t been making posts for a little while because I was going though a… “difficult period.” I know that ending relationships can get complicated but…come on now. Does it really have to feel like the last thing I want is to feel.

That Big Scrumptious Apple
I went picture crazy when I was in Manhattan. I thought to warn you in advance because I wouldn’t want anyone to have a ‘Lida’s face’ overdose by the end of the post
. There might be moments when you think that I repeated the same pics a few times but I assure you that they are all if fact somehow different. You might also notice that the outfit only slightly varies with yesterday’s look-of-the-day. I had to repeat an outfit two days in a row due to a packing miscalculation…what a painful confession. However, my beloved cashmere blanket (my dear aunt Laura knitted) played such a central role in today’s look that I hope it almost makes up for the repetition. New York was a bit chilly so the blanky kept me warm and cozy. No matter how I wrapped or hung it over my body it just seemed to work in the context of Manhattan – that big, scrumptious apple is just magical.
Red Hat
Admittedly, the colour combination of white, red, and black is one of the safest of them all, but we still love it for its vibrancy and contrast. According to Kate Smith, “a recognized authority on colour,” black is associated with the primordial void and emptiness, red is recognized as a stimulant, while white projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Talk about complicated…
Back to the City
I’m back in Toronto now, if only for a few days. I didn’t have a look-of-the-day entry yesterday because I was busy shooting the episode on Vacation clothes. I will publish it as soon as I’m done editing. I hope you’ve all regained your energy and are ready for the New Year celebration, regardless of how spectacular or quiet you plan it to be.
Soultry Thursday
I usually go to the Russian spa with my mom on Thursdays but she couldn’t make it this week so its the same-old application-time for Lida. I am going out for a dinner tonight and decided to do my “look of the day” entry on what I’m planning to wear. I have never worn the skirt or the top before and had never tried this combination. I purchased the skirt first and had a hard time finding something to go with it. After I got the top, it also just hung in my closet; waiting for an appropriate match to complete it. The day has finally come – they found each other. So I call this daily post, (LOL) Soultry Thursday; The Kitchen Edition. Let me know what you think.
