other boots


here they are. they look brownish but, they have a lot of gray in them. i LOVE the look of the gray fryes i received but, they are just too narrow. sad.
also really like these that i received but, i don't need another pair of boots with a heel.

one last post...promise

i now have in my possession 2 FABULOUS, completely different looking frye boots. and these. how ever will i decide?

make up, schmakeup



i'm far from an expert on make up. i don't normally try the latest tricks and trends but, i've seen one recent trend that i think i might try... blue mascara. now, this could look very 80s and cheesy but, i read that if you first apply coat of black and then do a coat of the blue on the tips only, it'll make your eyes sparkle and make the whites of your eyes brighter. and who doesn't want brighter eyes, right?

bag lady





i'm not usually a purse kind of girl. i mean, i appreciate a great purse but, i'd rather spend my money on cool jeans or a cool top. in fact, some of my favorite purses have been "two-fer" deals in china town--"two fer $30!" and the only genuine leather purse that i have ever owned i just received 2 summers ago (thank you jen jen!). nevertheless, i like to browse websites for cool bags. these are a few of my favorites. they are all obnoxiously expensive...guess it's a good things i'm not much of a purse girl! all from piperlime.com.

check me out! i'm famous!

what not to wear wednesday

1. don't wear a top where your bra straps are showing. it's not sexy--it's a faux pas.
2. don't wear denim with denim. only 1 piece of denim should be worn at a time.
3. don't wear overalls-EVER. (yes i wore them back in the day but, i have since learned that there is NOTHING cute about them AT ALL)
4. i don't like to mix black and brown. black and gray is fine. brown and gray is fine. but black and brown...not so much.it's too blah looking.
5. remember that all cleavage isn't necessarily good cleavage so, keep it covered.

and those are all the tips for today. i'd love to hear from others about what's on THEIR what-not-to-wear lists.

in honor of poppy






my grandfather, poppy art, died on thursday. he was 94. he and my grandmother had been married for 67 years. i find it kind of funny and just a sign of our culture that 1., i was at my salon with color on my hair when i got the news and, 2. i found out via text.

in honor of poppy art, here are some fashions from the year he was born--1915. enjoy! (and be thankful these styles haven't come back around...yet!)
