Instant Access - 8/29 - 9/11

I'm investing in my nails big time.  Or as big time as nail stuff can be.  Sure it adds up but the low buy-in of polish has me hooked.  Even the Konad stamping sets aren't that much.  I got a bunch of the special polishes and plates.  Now I just need to get some skill!

This is sort of a abstract "moon" manicure using OPI Bubblebath and silver glitter moons.

Revlon Red...

My "Tiffany Box" inspired manicure using white and Revlon's Blue Lagoon.

I really love matte polish.  This is Zoya's Matte Velvet Lacquer in Lolly

Do I say this for every pair???  My Celeine's are one of my favorites.  Silver croc print and a buckle.  How can you go wrong?

The Louboutin Freddys made an appearance too.

This book is amazing.  I can't believe I haven't read it sooner.

I love Chanel No 19 perfume.  The new Poudre version is lovely as well.

Colors!  I love a good Sharpie, but...

I use fountain pens more.  This is my Verona pen that I fill with pink ink.

My neighbors held a bomb-diggity dance party too, so we danced the night away under the full moon and the stars.

My dog was not so energetic.

On a very sad note, my wonderful Father-in-Law passed away on Friday.  We miss him terribly.  We've found all the great shots of him and I just love this one.  So snazzy.

It will be a busy week for us, so please forgive me if I'm not too communicative. I hope you have and had a wonderful week.

Charming!

Freddy's do make you want to kick up your feet!

I'm a Danger

These are my spiked Freddy oxfords.  I love them.  They made a splash last Fashion Week as I wore oxfords all over town, much more than heels.

What was funny was the husband said that I probably shouldn't wear them on the plane, just in case. I pooh-poohed that and wore them any ways. Yes, I did get a side-eye from the screener but come on, they aren't very sharp or anything.  So silly!

But I guess not. Nice Kicks just shared a story about how ti$a's Rollerboy spiked loafers were almost confiscated by TSA!

What the heck??? I could do more damange with the heel of some of my shoes than with these.

Come on people.  Between taking a friend's 2 year-old's apple juice to threatening fabulous footwear, it's getting a bit ridiculous, don't you think?

Enseble du Jour - 6-25-10

After pink three days in a row, I turned to neutrals on Friday.



The top is a v-neck cardigan in taupe paired with a feather printed skirt from, you guessed it, Anthropologie again. I used to shop at Anthropologie a lot obviously. Yikes.

I do love the pattern of this skirt. It's all different tones and tpes of feathers and had overlapping seams with raw edges.



But who am I kidding... it was all about the shoes.



I put up a quick post on Friday about them but here are some prettier shots.



You can open these up to full size.

They really are spikey and wonderful.

You can see why I felt that they were much more fabulous than I was that day.

The cardigan top is from Target, the skirt from Anthropologie and the shoes are Christian Louboutin Freddy oxfords.

Kicking my Butt

It's been a busy, stressful and exhausting week for a number of reasons. So when I woke up today I was feeling less than peppy.

I don't know about you, but I often dress to suit my mood. Good mood = fun clothes day. Maybe I feel flirty or peppy or in need of comfort. I am reflected in what I wear.

So today when I got up I thought about taking the easy way out. A denim skirt, a basic tee and flats. But then I realized that I had these babies to get me in a bit more of an ass-kicking kind of mood...



Christian Louboutin Freddy studded oxfords.

They're flat so I'm not going to crazy but they are definitely in your face.

Shiny, studded, fabulous! I just hope I can keep up with them!!!
