This may amaze you, but Chicago is much colder than Los Angeles. Shocking, I know. And with my body just 2 weeks postnatal, cozy sweaters (preferably oversized) are just what I need. After all, who doesn’t want to be curled up in a warm chunky knit, ideally with a cup of hot cocoa, in front… [Read More...]
Today is Lukus birthday! We are off doing birthday things here in Atlanta, but it was this celebration that prompted our little cross-country trip to begin with. As you may have read here, here and here, we spent the first few days of our vacation on Amelia Island in Florida. Yes. It was chilly. But… [Read More...]
I feel like I am back on the holiday track. No, I still haven’t completed all my tasks, but I got a little more of the decorating done and I have a plan for the rest of this week. So instead of focusing on the stress of the past week, I am going to focus… [Read More...]
It happened. It finally got cold in LA- sort of. Due to some crazy Santa Ana winds the temps dropped down to the high 40s (circa 8*C). For Los Angeles this was insanely cold, maybe not so much for New York. Needless to say I spent the weekend whining and am now suffering from a… [Read More...]
Back in April I announced my love for short shorts (A Short Story). And I maintain that support even now in November. Honestly, my love may have only grown deeper. What makes them even better now that it is cold out? No tan required. After all, just like a winter skirt, winter shorts are best… [Read More...]
Fair Warning: If you have a foot phobia, by all means stop reading now. This post is all about foot care. If you read beyond this point please don’t say I didn’t warn you! I love high heels. I am in the camp the higher the better (assuming the higher ends at about 5.5 inches). … [Read More...]
So, as much as the thermostat says differently (we’ll be in the 80s- that is 26+ for those who prefer Celsius), fall is just around the corner. And even if the temperature doesn’t agree, it is still time to start thinking about summer to fall transitional style. Initially this got me feeling blue. And then… [Read More...]
So you made a resolution to eat healthier this year. Or at least you’ve decided to eat more veggies. Great! Of course the challenge is making veggie dishes that are just as hearty as they are healthy. Suddenly this task seems daunting. Never Fear! North On Harper is here with a gallery of fantastic winter… [Read More...]
Christmas is over. New Years has past. But winter is still upon us. And if you are actually experiencing the season (its practically summer in LA this week with a high today of 70*F/ 21*C) you probably are layering coats and sweaters. While I understand that warmth is the priority, it shouldn’t be at the… [Read More...]
I love the silvers, grays and even the whites of winter. The moodiness outside doesn’t read as cold to me, but mysterious and sultry. Clearly I am a bit of a romantic. Drawing those colors into the home is something I am constantly striving for. Especially at this time of year when they are all… [Read More...]
