In a Fight with a Peacock

August 2, 2011 by

Feather extensions are everywhere I look these days, taunting me to put one in my hair. Am I too old? Is it too trendy or far out there? These are the questions I ask myself over and over and I have yet to get one installed in these locks. What say you? Are feather extensions fab or would I look like I got in a fight with a peacock, as my husband puts it?

Fabulous Footwear Friday

July 29, 2011 by

These are kinda over the top, but that’s totally what I love about them. I wear a lot of basic tees and shorts and these would be the pop I need for a little spring in my step.

Baby Punching Bags

July 28, 2011 by

My son loves this thing his Granny purchased for him. He bats at it, tries to make out with it (or that’s what it looks like) and generally loves to rough it up. It’s quite funny to watch.

SO, when his Grandpa brought over THIS GUY, he was a super major hit. Who knew babies could love punching bags so much!

  2. OPI Show it and Glow it
  3. OPI Sparkle-icious

My Inner Jersey Girl

July 18, 2011 by

I like the show Jerseylicious. I’m not going to hang my head in shame over it. It’s about hair and make-up and it’s ridiculously dressed ladies and their drama. I watch it, shamlessly. They love an animal print on that show. And while I don’t plaster my walls with cheetah print murals, it really is growing on me in a way I never knew it could. Look at these cute, cute things that are oh so cheetah, but only maybe a small percent Jersey.

  1. Forever 21, Blouson Leopard Top
  2. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print T Back Top
  3. Forever 21, Leopard and Zipper Top
  4. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print Chiffon Tank
  5. Forever 21, Leopard Criss Cross Top
  6. Forever 21, Burn Out Leopard Print Tee
