Now I’m going to tell you…

Ya’ll gave me some really good recs earlier with regards to my book list and I wouldn’t be doing you justice if I didn’t share as well.

  1. Possible Side Effects
  2. Wolf Across the Table
  3. Dry
  4. Running with Scissors
  5. Magical Thinking

So I got ROPED into these books and this author the instant that someone recommended I pick up Dry.  I don’t have a clue why I find his dysfunction and addition so fascinating–but I have read all five of these books more than once and think you should too!

You Tell Me

Which of these should I be reading next.

Ak and I often read together so that we talk and rant about the books at the same time. This became a favorite passtime with the Twilight Saga books, but I am looking for our next high.

  1. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
  2. A Reliable Wife
  3. The Same River Twice
  4. Some Girls Are

If you have even better suggestions, throw em my way.  I prefer a good, fast, dark read-but am open to just about anything.

Fabulous Footwear Friday

So, I know this summer and all, but I a few times a week I rotate in a flat, chucks,  or a closed toe option.  Especially as my pedi is wearing off.  I found these and LOVE them.  I love the Simple Shoes brand and why they do what they do.  The pink ribbon is such a fun touch!

Pretty Things at Every Price: Crossbody Bags

The Tipsy gals are up for another challenge.  We are on the hunt for that perfect crossbody (something that is very near and dear to my heart), but with each gal in a diff price range.

  1. Der’s ($14.94) Poppie Jones Fashion Crossbody Bag –  such a fun color and UNBELIEVABLE price! Perfect for a date night or girls night out when you don’t wanna be lugging around some hefty satchel.
  2. Court’s (29.99) Libby Edelman Woven Detail Convertible Crossbody Bag – love this throwback/hippie-ish look.  Love the price and of course love that its on the smaller side. The woven details and color make this look really unique.
  3. AK’s ($36.00) Croft & Borrow Crossbody – Pewter! I love this color, it goes with EVERYTHING! I can see this number helping me out considerably during our annual Round Top extravaganza.
  4. Sarah’s ($48.00) Steve Madden Bluvsic Crossbody– I’m loving the dressiness of this bag…it’s like sporty “glam” spice! (I also agree with AK that pewter is the WAY TO GO in the bag department…)

There you have it.  We’ll be up for more of these price challenges, so stay tuned or let us know what you want us to find on your budget!

30 in 30

So I’ll be celebrating my big 30 (and coincidentally my Mom’s, aka Mimi’s, big 60) in Vegas BABY.  It’s about 30 days around the corner and here are a couple of tid-bits to chew on.

  1. I have never once been to Vegas, Mimi’s been “more times than she can remember”!
  2. I am being told I need to participate in life threatening rides such as these, in which I’ll be literally hanging off the side of a building.
  3. My Dad, PawPaw, is dead set on a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon and I’m definitely down with that.
  4. I’ve heard the shows are good, but am not sure I’m a show kind of girl.
  5. I love Black Jack, DOUBLE DOWN.

I am open to suggestions on how you think I should celebrate the third decade of my existence.  One thing I am also really is excited about is that 30 is the new 16.

Eyyyyy Poncho!

Was I the only looser cool girl who thought ponchos were like the thing, the  COOLEST garment circa 1992??

Well, ready or not, they’ve made a comeback and you’ll never guess how….

  1. Super Natural Baby – Blanket + Poncho
  2. 7 AM® Enfant Pookie Poncho – Red
  3. Go Baby Ponchos – this site has it ALL going on!!!!!
  4. Target Aqua Poncho

OK, so–Infants can rock the PONCHO a lot better than adults. ‘Nough said.

Hai: Hello Rewind

My NEW boss (story on that job to come later and also the sole reason I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks) introduced to me to this site and I had to share with the Tipsy followers.  I know you will enjoy just like me!

The concept here is to up-cycle your tshirts into custom laptop cases.  Send your old rags in to Hello Rewind and women who have been rescued from the underground sex trade do something amazing with it!  This site gives the women a new way to make a living  and gives us a really neat way to help them and some awesome up-cycled products!
