Ah, Betsey Johnson, you little vixen… You’ve done it again. And just in time for your Black Friday 40% off of everything sale… I’ve been counting down the days. Meaning that these shoes… originally $235… marked down already to $117.50… Will only cost $70.50! I love a good deal as much as the next girl… These just might be the shoes on my feet when I lean in for my New Year’s kiss… Uh-maz-ing. Want em? Click and shop, baby.
Fall is the perfect time for a soft glow… Don’t forgo the bronzer, you saucy minx… Just sweep it on lightly over your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Make your face pop by brushing a shimmery autumnal coral on the apples of your cheeks. A smoky eye that incorporates browns, golds, and olive instead of the predictable black is an unexpected sultry look. Don’t forget to wing out the tips of your liner (sex kitten alert) and a few falsies just on the corners of your lashes. Red lips are a beautiful fall statement… Make sure you line your lips first or the bright red will run. No messy mouth for you, especially on that perfect face of yours. Top your lips and tips with a glossy red and you’re ready to go xoxo

I love my current living situation… Huge sofa (however, it is a hideous color and needs a slipcover), a 52″ television, and a ton of space. I also have an abundance of leopard print vintage pillows that were custom made… Killer statement pieces. Now I just need to finish it up… and I think I have found the purrrrfect things.
1. Midnight Courtyard Curtain $108
This will look gorgeous around my huge picture window.
2. Simply Shaby Chic Cotton Duck Sofa Slipcover $99.99
The solution to make my sofa look up to date and to really show off those vintage leopard throw pillows.
3. Mohawk Home Tufted Starch Shag Rug $59.99
I am a gigantic fan of the shag rug. The bigger, the better.
4. One-Lump-Or-Two Lamp $198
Too cute. Such a statement piece with so much personality.
5. Dancing Pleat Shade $128
Perfect to top off the lamp. The square shade is so unexpected.
6. Fluffed & Flaunting Pillow $98
Cozy and glamourous. Throw this on the couch.
7. Glass Accent Table $89.99
Mirrored this, mirrored that… I can’t get enough. I’d put one of these on either side of the couch… But each would have a different lamp. We don’t want things too matchy matchy or your guests will feel like they’re in a catalogue and not your living room.
8. Mirrored Coffee Table $149.99
Drool. Put a statement vase and bright flowers (i love pink roses) on this.
9. Bibliotek Vase $59.99
Could this be any cuter? I’m a bookworm, so this is perfect for my place.
Attitude: the most important element of an individual; one’s greatest accessory. Your attitude defines you. I try to keep mine positive, creative, open, and motivated. I attempt to rid my life of those with a constantly poor attitude. One should always attempt to be their best self… and a great attitude is the first step to do this.
Bikini: an invaluable invention combining scraps of fabric and strategic placement to achieve a sexy summer (or, for those of us who throw fashion rules and weather to the wind {or live in California}, year-round) look. I gravitate toward animal prints, metallics, and things that are crocheted or sequined. Embellishments are always encouraged. With so little fabric to work with, you can’t afford to be subtle. Large sunglasses enhance the effect.
Cocktail: a delightful concoction consisting of alcohol and mixers. I try not to favor one cocktail too heavily. However, I feel you can never go wrong with something pink. Remember, a cocktail is more than a libation, it’s an accessory.
1. Nautilus Shell Dress $67.99
Perfect for an autumn night date.
2. Crisp Lager Boots $728
They go with jeans, a coat, or a dress. So versatile.
3. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture $30
Red is the lip color for fall.
4. Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Scarab $14
Dark and pearlescent. Mesmerizing.

Wow. Now that is a cocktail ring.
10. Jacqueline Lamont Amelia Hat $230
Stay warm. And cute.
Basically, my favorite Tuesday evening and Saturday morning activity… Outdoor stalls with local vendors pedaling fresh flowers, fresh produce, and fresh ideas. Nothing makes me happier than fresh flowers on my desk, by my bed, well…. everywhere… and a fresh, light meal to follow the workday.
