A. Happiness
The super stylish Arielle of http://hauteststyle.blogspot.com/ has given me a “Meme” which asks that you name 14 things that make you happy, and then tag six people, urging them to do the same . . .

1. soft serve frozen yogurt
2. huge, luxe, leather handbags (Valentino patent at left via wwd)
3. robust red wine (pref. with an oozy Brie or piquant Manchego)
4. art galleries and museums, especially opening galas!
5. ridiculously fancy shoes
6. picnics
7. Vogue – any country, any issue, any year . . .
8. lounging on the beach
9. Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie
10. Gossip Girl, Lipstick Jungle, Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives, 90210, etc.
11. Haute Couture (natch!)
12. chocolate chip cookies - baking them is great; but eating the batter is better!!
13. dinners out with the fam (pictured at right – that’s CC in the forest green Smythe velvet blazer!)
14. Fancy gowns and cakes
This is a really fun and rewarding exercise . . . reminds one of the little things that can sometimes matter so much!

B. Quirkiness
I've also been tagged by the very spunky and fabulous Songy of http://stylediscovery.blogspot.com/! Now here are the rules:
a) link back to the person who tagged you
b) mention the rules on your blog
c) tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
d) tag 6 bloggers; and
e) leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers’ blogs letting them know they've been tagged!
My 6 unspectacular quirks (okay some of them are just facts):
1). I can do calligraphy and origami.
2) My feet are huge. Size 11. Aaaargh.
3) I am sorta shy about putting my pic online, but here is [another] one anyway...
4) Though it is not my first language, I taught Spanish for four years.
5) I memorized Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods” in the sixth grade and can still recite it.
6) I like to eat cereal with a baby spoon (picture at right via luntsilver.com).

I am also incredibly honored to have received the Brillante Premio from the darling Claudia of http://flowerprintedmind.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check her out, as she is a star on the rise!
Thank you so much, Arielle, Songy and Claudia!
