Fashion Friday (June 1st, 2012)

TGIF!! Can you believe its already June? This week's fashion items were all found on Broadway. In addition to the items that I (Lady Kashmir) discovered, the Duchess also submitted a couple of extra treats for you too. We've got some really great stuff for you this week, especially if you happen to be expecting. :)

The name should say it all. This store run by Nanette is a jewel in the downtown shopping district. She prides herself on vintage and name brand clothing. Here is just some of the things I fell in love with while there...

Classic Style Dooney and Bourke Purse

Red and Gray Tommy Hilfiger Purse

Comfortable gray and red dress perfect for summer

Red shirt and jacket

Here are some shots taken there by the Duchess last month (May 7th). These beauties might already be gone but give you a great idea of the treasures you can find at Nanettes:






Anew Thyme

Anew Thyme is a great place to find all your maternity wear as well as shoes and purses. I mean, you only wear maternity clothes for a few months or so right? So why not get a great deal on new or gently used items? And it always feels good to shop local!

If you are like me, when you think farmers market you think food, food, and well, more food. WRONG. The Duchess found us some great local jewelers. So when you go shopping for food don't forget to stop by some of the other booths for unique clothing and accessories from local vendors.

As always if you stop by any of these places tell them the Duchess of Downtown sent you so they can take extra good care of you. Enjoy your weekend, it goes quickly!

XOXO,

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
