Fake Bronzed Goddess

June 16, 2011 by

I am embarrassed to say that my baby was born several shades tanner than me. Living with two Italian skin toned men has a girl feeling a wee bit pasty. And since my days of fake n’ baking are done, I found myself venturing down the aisles of self tanner saying enie, meanie, minie, mo and picking the one that smelled the least like ass. I picked a winner and I would like to share it with you today. I have been using it for over a week and I am neither pasty nor orange. WIN!

Race Me to the Finish Line

June 16, 2011 by

Man, I dig  a racerback tank top. I could seriously wear one every day. They don’t require a strapless bra, they have a sporty and unique look from other tank tops, and for some reason I think they make peoples shoulders look better…that one is probably all in my head. So, I stumbled upon this tank at Gap. And besides the fact that I am in love with the model’s haircut, I could and probably will own this tank in every color.

Green with Envy

June 9, 2011 by

Call me bat shit crazy, but I have been obsessing with pastel colored nail polish for quite some time now. I’m not talking about your lovely baby pink or soft beige, but more of an Easter egg blue or minty green. I have no idea why I am being drawn to these nail polishes. I don’t even like pastels normally. So, am I crazy or are would this shade be awesome on my nails?

Best Boy Onesies Ever. (Featuring Stripes)

May 12, 2011 by

When we threw AK a baby sprinkle for her second bambino, she received the cutest of onesies I have ever seen. I just KNEW I had to have them for my little guy. Of course, the are Carter’s. I love Carter’s. As much as my baby has a dunlap, he still if of the longer and leaner variety when it comes to babies and Carter’s seems to be a great fit all through his first 7 months. Anyway, drum rolllll…. here are the cutest, most basic baby boy onesies ever. LOVE LOVE LOVE them.

Did you know you can also use Keepsy to create a photobook of your Instagram pics? WHA-WHA!

Shorty Love: Stripes

May 10, 2011 by

We are ablazin hot in these parts, so I need to show a little or a lotta leg  in Texas this time of year. These are on the tad bit teeny weenie side of shorts for me, but  A-DOR-ABLE. I have no idea what kind of striped flavored crack these advertising execs have put out there, but I’m smoking it. That’s for sure. It’s an addiction.  And for $13.50 I think I can make the investment.
