Don't these look SOOOO cool??

A minor thought on life

If you are not happy with how your life's turning out, WHY NOT??? If you have a hard time seeing other people 'living it up', that's a problem. If you aren't dressing how you want, because you need to lose those last few pounds, ... not working towards your dream job, because you're not ready yet,... not living where you want to live... YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON LIFE. IT'LL BE GONE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT, EVERY HUG AND KISS FROM YOUR CHILDREN, EVERY CALL FROM YOUR MOTHER, EVERY SNUGGLE WITH YOUR SPOUSE... DON'T WASTE IT BECAUSE IT'S "NOT THE RIGHT TIME YET".

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????

(This post is mostly for ME, by the way... I like reminding myself to LIVE.)

Shoes to love...

I got some more shoes in the mail, and yes, I know, they're just shoes... but I LOVE the mood they evoke. They make me feel like I'm Kym Novak in "Vertigo"...
I LOVE them.






Now, I just need the blonde hair... Unfortunately, I just dyed mine black.

The Glamourai

I discovered this blog about a month or two ago, and it kinda kills me how right up my alley she always is... or atleast close to it. We love the same color schemes, the same monochromatic, loud patterns used excessively, the same big flashy jewelry (I albeit probably look trashier, considering my penchant for old lady mumus sometimes)... but her hair is always AMAZING. She recently cut her bangs into the V that I used to have two or more years ago, and it looked SO stunning I had to do it as well. And now she's sporting these blonde sides that are just KILLING me... they go so well with her gold jewelry (that she consequently makes & sells herself)... I'm trying to keep myself from doing that as well.
It's weird... I don't pride myself on copying somebody's style, but she is definitely one I am keeping my eye on.

Leopard print and Sagan

I recently went to the Salvation Army in Ogden (Grant Ave. and like, 24th), and scored bigtime, like I usually do there. They get Target donations every week; so if you're EVER looking for shoes and belts and purses from Target and would rather pay $3 for them instead of $25, GO THERE. I found these AMAZING leopard print Mossimo flats for $3!!! Plus, I found a royal blue patent clutch purse for the same price, similar to these bags:

Next, I found a 1960's leopard dressing gown, with a Peter Pan collar trimmed in Black Velvet. I'm having a hard time taking it off--I wear it open belted over black and white stripes during the day, and buttoned as a nighty at night. It makes me feel like I'm in the movie "Auntie Mame" or something. HOPEFULLY it doesn't make me look like THIS LADY:
