My favorite flower : Peony. My favorite florist: Westmount Florist. I love to stop by and visit Christine at Westmount Florist on my way to work, or just when I am out and about in Victoria Village. I love it there, Christine is as hilarious as she is talented, did I mention that she is [...]
I know I wrote that whole LONG, EXTENDED post about the Royal Wedding yesterday, but, well, we have another wedding that means a lot to us here at Lola & Emily today… Longtime Lola & Emily girl (or grrrrrllllll, as she sometimes prefers to be referred to….) Zyanna is marrying longtime Lola & Emily girl [...]
I have put a lot of stuff up on this blog… images of things I love, new items in the store, inspirational looks, cute animals, ridiculous rants, and many, many, many of my terrible photos. But, trust me when I tell you that you will thank me for introducing you to the Gleener. Basically, this [...]
Just a quick note to mention that we are having our old friend, Dave, do a couple of cosmetic upgrades on the look of the site. Nothing too craaaazy… because, well, I’m not sure just how crazy this can get (which is why we have someone more qualified, like Dave, making those kinds of decisions!). [...]
I have been kind of busy the last 2 days trying to tie up some work stuff before heading to South Beach for a long weekend with 7 of my high school friends… Full disclosure, this trip is sort of a “celebration” of our communal 40th birthdays all this year. “Celebration” may not be exactly [...]
Well I’m about to head to NYC for some more Fall 2011 buying. I’m not going to lie… I’m going to miss Amanda. Who will I be able to roll my eyes with when I get ignored and/or roughed up by much more aggressive U.S. buyers in a crowded booth? Who will help me get dressed [...]
Ok, so I watched the Grammys last night with Liz, which saved me lots of texting because we could just actually talk. Having said that, it makes it harder to remember the best comments of the evening as I don’t have a written transcript. Note to self: in the future, when this kind of situation [...]
How much would you all love to see the videos that I took of Sally and her amazing Little Houses? Probably more than anything you have wanted to watch… EVER. Well, unfortunately, you won’t be able to, because I just spent 45 minutes trying to get my computer to recognize my Flip Video camera, and [...]
I’m SOOOOOO excited! Sally is coming to town tomorrow for 2 days to do a new window for the store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been way too long, and we have missed Sally’s RIDICULOUS creative talent in the store. Without her, I am as creative as an accountant (no offense to accountants… of course). I just mean [...]
I have forced myself to hold back on this post for like 3 days, because, well, technically, this is not exactly my news to tell, but I can’t wait any longer… I am just too excited and while this may not be “my” news, it is relevant to Lola & Emily in a very serious way…. Amanda had her [...]
