PLEASE! NO PICTURES!

At our costume party my husband and I went as "any celebrity" and he was my photographically challenged paparazzi...the hat, the dark glasses, the ubiquitous Starbucks cup...it was fun. Happy Halloween!

Can't wait!

I'm so impressed with everything Daughtry has done since his American Idol days...love his music and we should be challenged by his latest video. American Idol winner David Cook releases his new album 11/18 and I'm hoping for the same result.

Goop from Gwyneth

Have you heard about GOOP? It's Gwyneth Paltrow's new website which is "A Collection of Experiences," and all about "Nourishing Your Inner Self." The successful, ever stylish, super cool mom is going to be giving out all sorts of tips, advice and recommendations and even recipes. I'm not really sure if it's a website in progress--or more of a weekly newsletter. When you sign up, you'll receive weekly emails regarding things to do, places to go, books to read, meals to make...almost like chatting with your BFF Gwyneth when you're picking your kids up from school.

Pears? Pyramids? Apples?

In a recent article in MORE magazine, Madame Poupie Cadolle compares our breasts to pears, pyramids, and apples. She oughta know. She is the great-great-granddaughter of Herminie Cadolle, who in 1889 invented the first bra. Women from all over the world fly to Paris so Madame Poupie, one of the last corsetieres, can measure and have a bra made to fit you with perfect engineering, seams, and darts all sewn for you and your pyramids. Or apples. Or pears.
It takes about two months to get an appointment, and depending on the euro, could cost approximately $800 for three fittings and one custom made-for-you bra pieced together by a staff of six seamstresses.

Would I do it? To have that kind of experience, knowledge, and history from someone; and feel like you have the best boobs ever afterwards? You bet I would.

Writing on the Wall









I've been in the mood to do a little interior change-up although I have zero time. I stumbled upon these decals on Etsy...they can be made custom to size and color and you can even create your own if you like...very cool.

Enjoy Your Weekend

I'm loving everything about this picture from This is Glamorous...the vintage jeweled sweater, the beads, the mustard print on the blouse...perfection. Hope your weekend is too.

The Eyes Have It


These are not my eyes. I've got a pair of baby blues and I also have an eye infection right now. I am not happy about the latter.
I work in a petri dish... otherwise known as an elementary school. I cannot tell you how many sanitizing wipes I go through on tables, computer keyboards, and the amount of times I wash my hands in a day but there is no escaping the germ carrying children I am surrounded by. I could go further with a perfect plan for terrorists but I don't need the FBI checking out my blog.
Unfortunately, some bacteria found their way on my hand and my hand to my eye. Curses. Should be looking better soon and this weekend's costume for the pre-Halloween party is PERFECT to cover it up...stay tuned!
