Best friends know the little things about you. Like your shoe size. And best friends do sweet and spontaneous things for you–just because. Like pick you up a pair of glorious boots while they’re out shopping, because said boots were a rockin low price and they’re ”soooo you“. I have a best friend like this. And I love her, and my new wellies. Bring on the rain. And only a best friend could get me to pole dance in my new wellies–well sorta.
Sometimes I get stuck in a rut. Same ol’ routine, without even realizing that it might be time for a change. Take my flat iron for example. It’s about 6 years old. And ghetto. Cracks, mystery discoloration, and a melted cord. But yet, every time I straighten my hair, I faithfully bust out my hunk of junk and attempt to tame my mane. The result: straw like straight hair, I call it “crunchy hair”. I have never quite gotten the “sleek-straight” look I am going {…Read More…}
Oh YES I did. And oh YES I am blogging about it. I finally broke down, and I jumped onto the Spanx bandwagon today. {purchased at Costco} Seriously people, these bad boys have changed my life, and I just bought them a few hours ago! Despite the fact that I nearly dislocated my shoulder to pull them over my head, once I had my new Spanx on, a miracle occurred. My “pooch” {as I affectionately refer to it} disappeared. As in gone, nada, not there! {…Read More…}
I always get the itch for selfish shopping just before Christmas {I attribute this to my impatient nature}. Wanna see what I got? The perfect brown boot. Just rugged enough, without being to “cowgirl”, not that I have a problem with “cowgirl” or anything. YeeHaw! And the red zipper in the back makes me giddy every time I look at it. Thank you Carlos Santana, for going into the shoe business. {link to more info on these pretties} {btw: mine were 40% off at Famous {…Read More…}
Favorite “Home” Themed Projects and Tutorials It’s been decided. Operation “Revamp the LMM Residence” is in full swing. This means there will be lots and lots of sanding, painting, hanging, rearranging, organizing and very little ‘buying’ going on around these parts over the next few weeks. I am determined to make this a DIY home revamp instead of an AMEX home revamp. And with that in mind, I needed to find a little home decorating inspiration from my peeps out in the blogosphere. Here are {…Read More…}

You all know about my love affair with Etsy, right? I thought it was time I fill you in on all the things I am working up the self-control to NOT buy. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out though–because these Etsy finds are absolutely fabulous {if you ask me, anyway}. Yellow Flower Zipper Pouch by Charm Design I love Amy Butler fabric and I love purses–and you know what, I don’t even own a clutch purse. Which means I am totally {…Read More…}
It’s all over. I have officially found my heaven on earth and it’s called Cath Kidston. In addition to ancient relics, stately manors and national parks–England also has Cath Kidson, every gals dream shop–and my happy place. It’s as if someone opened up my brain, pulled out all my favorite things, and then housed them in one place and called it Cath Kidson. The only tragedy in this wonderful discovery is that their shops are only located in England {sigh}. But not to worry, because us {…Read More…}
Wavy hair makes me happy. It means less blow drying, less brushing, less straightening, and more volume.
