BabyWP

Mr. EWP and I are very excited that we're expecting our very own BabyWP!

Now, don't worry, this is still a fashion blog and will not be filled with preggo posts. But if that's your thing, you can head over to Meet the Steffens and get lots of pregnancy updates.

I also promise to not just post maternity clothes. Though I may post some that I think are cute, because, guess what, cute maternity clothes are REALLY hard to find. And when I find some, I'll be so proud of myself that I'll just have to post them :)

And I'm definitely glad I just wrote that new mom post, looks like I'll have my wardrobe options covered after BabyWP arrives.

xoxo,
EWP

Weathering the Storm


To weather a storm is to endure a difficult, but temporary situation. Because the difficult situation is temporary, it resembles a passing storm. Eventually, the storm ends. Ex.: "The Senator was under a cloud of suspicion, but no hard evidence was found. As a result, he was cleared of all wrongdoing. He had successfully weathered the storm." In the West, the presumption of innocence means that an inability to prove someone guilty results in complete innocence before the law. Whether or not the public is convinced is another matter.

Having Your Head In The Clouds


To have your head in the clouds means that your thoughts are not on the task at hand. Your thoughts are elsewhere, as if they are floating in the clouds, not firmly planted into the soil. Ex.: "Keep your head out of the clouds and concentrate on finishing this essay! You can't keep your grades high if you don't finish your homework on time!" This is admonishing a student to focus on the task before him (an essay) rather than think about other subjects, perhaps more enjoyable ones.

Chelsea Clinton's Wedding!

Well, she's the closest thing we have to a princess in this country, so I thought if I might as well post some pics from Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

Aren't we all so glad that poor little Chelsea grew out of that terribly awkward phase she seemed to be stuck in forever? Well now she is a beautiful bride. She was pretty predictable in wear Vera Wang, but there's something to be said for not doing anything risky for your wedding. And I think she looked beautiful. Hillary Clinton wore Oscar de la Renta and I'm on the fence about it until I can find some more pictures.












Lightning-Quick

Something or someone that is lightning-quick is, figuratively, as quick (as fast and agile) as lightning. Ex.: "That hockey team's center is lightning-quick! He can score goals before you even know he's there." Can be written "lightning quick" (two words). Equivalents: Quick as a flash; quick as a wink; quick as lightning. All of these mean the same thing; the only thing that changes is how the idea is conveyed.
