cashmere is for grownups.

i break out into hives when i lay my eyes on the prices of some baby/infant clothes these days and j.crew, as much as i love the brand, is no different. cashmere for baby? i don't think so. no matter how beautiful the heart print is, it's not worth $145.00. let's think about how fast babies grow and the quantity of spit up and drool they expel. yeah, not worth it. even if their cashmere is machine washable.

dearest j.crew, cashmere is for grownups and i'm saving my pennies and counting my nickels for this piece, this piece, and this piece for fall/winter.

the baby models are cute, though. nowhere close as adorable as my own nieces and nephews but definitely cute. i mean, how can one resist a crawling baby naked except for heart print bloomers?

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
