or are we officially SPRING?
Considering the temps are still low during the day (not to mention 40’s at night)…I would have to say NO.
But while we were away last week in MUCH warmer weather, I spring’d up with this new DVF ensemble!
What’s even better? Designers seem to be doing more vanity sizing-which to me is [...]

(source: shareyoga.com)
Seperate the words out and in sanskrit, it means:
Utthita - (”oo-TEE-tah”) = extended

She’s 45 years old and I can’t believe we haven’t featured her before! (note to self: have to search back through old posts…) Teri Hatcher just announced plans to launch “hatch” (get it?) a site for “chicks”. Hmmm…Great idea!

…with yourself! Do you ever do this:
Yesterday I was driving home from work and didn’t feel like going to stand in the usual cattle line 60+mins for spin class. Maybe a walk? Naaaw, too cold out. I knew I was going to get up early and go to mysore practice this a.m. so I thought [...]
