Very Stylish Legs
I saw these boots on Garance Dore and I just had to put them on mine. (I hope she doesn't mind.)
After spending all day yesterday laid-up on the couch with the flu (and getting square-eyes from watching too many DVD's), I awoke this morning feeling a little more human. So after just managing to get the elder of the little ones off to school, and while the younger little one was engrossed in a puzzle, I decided to scour my favourite blogs to pep myself up.
She has style, no doubt, she has chutzpah and lots of it, and she must have the toughest feet in fashion if she can wear these boots all day (note to self, must see if I can get an end of the day shot of Carine one of these days, just to see if she's as human as the rest of us).
Scrolling down further I came across more Parisian chic on display. Look, I know that not everyone walking down the Champs Elysees looks this naturally stylish, but come on! No wonder there are people taking pictures of these heavenly creatures.

So after just managing to get the elder of the little ones off to school, and while the younger little one was engrossed in a puzzle, I decided to scour my favourite blogs to pep myself up.
Can you believe that these boots are worn on a normal working day in down town Paris? Of course a normal working Parisian is not wearing them, and I discovered this when I scrolled on to the next picture and saw the wearer of these killer-heeled boots was none other than Uber editor, Carine Roitfeld.
She has style, no doubt, she has chutzpah and lots of it, and she must have the toughest feet in fashion if she can wear these boots all day (note to self, must see if I can get an end of the day shot of Carine one of these days, just to see if she's as human as the rest of us).

They make it look so effortless, so sexy and so easy...
I wonder is it innate, or learned you think?

A New Life...
Finally, finally, we've settled into our new home.
I've begun rising early and taking our dog Jet for runs along the beach, watching the sun rise over the sea. It's so beautiful. I love this time alone and sharing it with Jet. It wakes me up and gets me into a clear and happy head-space so I can happily sort the girls for school and kindy without the usual grumpy-mummy demeanor that usually prevails.
It has been tougher than expected, and the toughness was truly, unexpected. It's not tough in that we had to face anything extreme, but it was the transition, the letting go and embracing the new. I came into it with an open mind but without realising it or expecting it, I still had to face demons of the past. I refuse to allow myself to go back down that path again. Wellington is offering a new beginning and that's the path I have chosen to take. I'm loving it here! I'm in this amazing, beautiful place and my girls are thriving, my husband is thriving in his career and now it's my turn to thrive too, damn it!
And so, I am meeting new and interesting people, forcing myself to jump in to going against type, and reaping the benefits! Instead of rushing into things and falling out of interest, I am taking my time and waiting... just waiting. That's all for now.

Most Married Woman World Record
Most Married Woman World Record set by Linda Wolfe
American grandmother Linda Wolfe has become "the most married woman in the world" after walking down the aisle 23 times, and is now "on the lookout for number 24".
Mrs Wolfe, 68, is included in the Guinness Book of World Records for the dubious honour of being wed more times than anyone else alive. More after the break...
She has said that she is "addicted to the romance" of getting married.
Born Linda Lou Taylor, the American first married in 1957 aged 16, to a 31-year-old called George Scott.
The union lasted for seven years, the longest and happiest of any of her marriages.
Since then things have tended to go downhill.
Over the subsequent decades she married a one-eyed convict, a preacher, barmen, plumbers and musicians.
Two turned out to be homosexual, two were homeless and one beat her. Another put a padlock on her fridge.
One marriage lasted just 36 hours because "the love wasn't there".
But Linda, from Indiana, once married the same man, Jack Gourley, three times.
She has had seven children by her different husbands and been a stepmother to many more.
Her last marriage, a decade ago, was a publicity stunt.
It was to Glynn Wolfe, who in taking Linda as his bride meant he was the world's most married man, at 29 times.
He died a year later aged 88.
Consequently she said that she was "on the lookout for number 24".
She told The Sun: "It's been years since I walked down the aisle. I miss it."
The serial bride, who now lives in a retirement home, said she had never cheated on a husband. She said if she had her life over again she would "never, ever" marry so many men.

8 Technology etiquette tips for job-seekers
If there's any small solace when starting a job search in this recession, it's the proliferation of digital technology to help you re-enter the working world. Web sites like Indeed.com and LinkedIn.com have multiplied the number of job openings you can track and the professional contacts you can make. E-mail and smart phones make it easier to pitch yourself and set up appointments.
But think twice before picking up that BlackBerry and thumb-typing a message to the hiring manager whose e-mail address you so slyly uncovered online. In the end, landing the right job hinges on old-world skills.
"The electronic piece usually just gets your foot in the door," said Dave Willmer, executive director of Robert Half Technology, a tech industry recruiting division of Menlo Park, Calif.-based staffing consultant Robert Half International. "But you still have to present yourself well face-to-face in an interview, and you have to have good references," he said. "I think some job candidates lose sight of that because of all the technology options and capabilities that get your name out there."
Here are eight technology etiquette tips to help job seekers.

"But you still have to present yourself well face-to-face in an interview, and you have to have good references," he said. "I think some job candidates lose sight of that because of all the technology options and capabilities that get your name out there."
Here are eight technology etiquette tips to help job seekers.
1 .Avoid email blasts
Resist the temptation to respond to each online job listing in your field, and focus on those that fit the best. Only about 6 percent of jobs are filled by candidates recruited through advertisements, said Wendleton, whose firm also conducts career research. If you can use personal contacts to learn about an opening that's not widely publicized, your chances of landing the job increase because you've got fewer rivals. Instead of blast e-mailing, use the Web to research potential employers and put yourself in position to recite key facts about that company should you land an interview. "Too many people are sitting there all day hitting that send button on their computer, answering ads, answering ads," Wendleton said.
02.Embrace snail mail
In your first contact with a prospective employer, you're unlikely to stand out if you join the legions of job seekers sending 'hire me' pitches via e-mail with resumes attached. E-mails also are too easy for a hiring manager to delete. With snail mail, you control the appearance of your carefully crafted cover letter and resume.With e-mail, the user's machine can control settings for fonts and spacing. And managers can be wary of opening attached resumes for fear of unleashing a computer virus.
03.Avoid follow-up foibles
If you land an interview, pay close attention if the hiring manager specifies how to make any follow-up contacts. Email can be a good option because of its speed; if you send a follow-up note via snail mail, it may arrive too late in the hiring process to make a difference.
If the hiring manager is OK with email, send a message that addresses any unanswered questions from the interview and state that you're also mailing a hardcopy. In the snail mail message, do refer that you have also sent an email.
Whatever you do, don't follow up on an interview with an email sent via a handheld gadget - there's too great a chance you'll thumb-type a typo-ridden message. Only use handhelds to send brief, timely emails confirming an appointment or advising you're running late for a meeting. Don't type without regard to grammar and capitalization, and resist including smiley faces or other emoticons in electronic messages. "There is no circumstance where that is appropriate," Wendleton said.

"There is no circumstance where that is appropriate," Wendleton said.
04.Observe boundaries
Even if you managed to track down a hiring manager's cell phone number, don't call it unless given permission. "Cell phones are considered private," Wendleton said.
Willmer and Kate Wendleton, president of The Five O'Clock Club, a New York-based career counseling company, advise that job seekers - especially the young and tech-savvy - frequently misuse electronic gadgets and the Web and run roughshod over professional etiquette.
05.Stick to landlines
For any phone contact with a prospective employer, try to use a land line. With cell phones, there's too great a risk that you'll get a spotty connection, lose it altogether, or end up with excessive background noise if you're in a public place.
If you lack a land line, call from a quiet place like a hotel lobby. Have a pen and pad ready so you can jot down information.

06.Network the smart way
If you identify a hiring manager or other professional you'd like to connect with on an online networking site, don't merely send an electronic invitation without explaining why you want to get in touch. An out-of-the-blue request will likely be ignored.
"Write something like, "I was intrigued by your LinkedIn posting. I see you have 10 years of international experience. I too have 10 years of international experience,'" Wendleton said.
"Write something like, "I was intrigued by your LinkedIn posting. I see you have 10 years of international experience. I too have 10 years of international experience,'" Wendleton said.
07.Manage your digital footprint
Hiring managers can be expected to go beyond your resume and references, and perform a background check online. So be judicious about what you post on social networking sites such as Facebook, and limit access to friends and family if it's something you wouldn't want an employer to see.
Likewise, think before posting political opinions or personal information in blogs or other online forums. Consider posting under a pseudonym rather than your name. "As a job candidate, I would encourage people to be conservative," said Willmer. "Assume that anybody has access to anything."

08.Get personalIf you resort to e-mail pitches, make them personal. If you're introducing yourself to a hiring manager you've identified via a professional colleague, type that colleague's name in the e-mail's subject line and succinctly explain the link (example "John Doe referred me") so the manager is less likely to hit delete.
