No reason, I swear

What do you think of these Miu Mius?




Not that I'm asking for any particular reason... Just, asking, you know?

Whistle, whistle, whistle.....

Busy Busy

Sorry it's quiet here. 

Work is crazy but I'm thinking about you!

Clearly, I need this

I don't need a clutch.  I rarely use them.  I certainly don't need an expensive one.

But.

I really really love this Charlotte Olympia plexi clutch.



Luckily it is sold out so I can't even be tempted to get it, despite the cost.

Le Sigh!

Instant Access - 4/4 - 4/10

I've been called out for loving Instagram (I'm @Poochie, if you don't already follow along) and I have to admit, I do.  It's all in the details, right?

I started out my week with music and florals.

And Essie's Midnight Cami navy polish.



The Furla Candy Bags are super sweet. 
Take it from me, I love the tri-toned I got but the Acai blue is where it's at.
You'll see it here soon.


Power shoes a la Via Spiga


Out to lunch.


Did you know that the original Reynold's building in Winston-Salem
It even gets a card on Father's Day.


Of course, most of my week is with the animals.
Badger, above, had a corneal ulcer this week.  Poor baby.


Agni is looking for some sun.


Oona face.


Talus want's to get in on the action.


And sunshiney Clarence.


I work from a small white writing desk at home that has pops of color.
Japanese colored masking tape...


An Irish porcelain pony, moleskines and colored pencils.


The flowers mean Spring is really here. I love my favorite grape hyacynths and the lilacs smell like SweeTarts. I think I need some lilac perfume.



Meet my new crush, Dr. Tony Hill.  We spent most of Saturday together.


Ending the weekend on a high note.  Lemonade Converse,
a lunch/movie date and grilling dinner.

What will next week have in store for us?

Sugar Addiction

I admit it.  I'm totally addicted to these candy colored bags from Furla. Plastic-y, bright, perfect for Summer.  I trying to stop myself from buying them all.

They come in a slew of juicy colors - Mango, Avocado, Acai, Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit and then refreshing clear, snappy black and clear and tri-toned red, clear and pink.











These babies, priced at $195,  are selling out fast! Mango yellow and Passion Fruit orange are still available on the Furla site, but Acai blue and Dragon Fruit pink are out.  The 3 clear options are best sourced by calling the stores, I haven't seen them online.

Dillards has pink, green, yellow and orange.  Macy's still has Avocado green and the Black/Clear combo.

I may or may not have bought a few of these.... you'll just have to wait and see.  But don't wait to get one for yourself.  They're super cute and then we can be twin stars!

Instant Access - 3/28 - 4/3

I'm loooooving Instagram.  Sure, one more thing to "follow" but I like getting the little peeks into everyone's world.  Mine is @Poochie so make sure to let me know if you are on there.  I want to follow along and how you do too.

Here's some of how my last week went down...

Argyle and Polka dots

More Metallics

Still loving nail polish and manicures over here.  My pink glitter was chipping off last night so, having just bought a bunch more polishes from Ulta, I did a super quick polish change (hence slightly uneven french tip edges, I'm still learning) with Orly's Mirror Mirror and Revlon's Metallic 860.

This is a pretty light true grey with a cool very very subtle blue undertone that goes well with my pasty skin tone.  The Revlon is a great liquid silver.  I did a base coat, one thick coat of the grey and then the tips. I can't wait to do more with this silver.  I love love love it.




I've also found two great tools that are keeping me less smudgy - O.P.I.'s Drying Drops and Seche Vite quick dry top coat.  This top coat really does dry fast and shiny. And the drying drops are magic.  I think this was about $20 but you only use a few drops per nail so it's going to last forever.

And 100% pure acetone remover, where have you been all my life???  So much easier than the other stuff!


I'm so excited about some of the colors I got last night.  I'm trying to pace myself to once or twice a week.  As someone who has never had good nails, this is a whole new world of fun.  Squeeeeee!!!!!
