Girl Crush: Marisa Miller

Ditto for Victoria's Secret angel Marisa Miller ...

Last night, I watched (was forced to watch) the ESPYs. It wasn’t too bad, Seth Meyers really killed it. I’m not typically a fan of his on SNL, but kudos Seth. Anyway, the most captivating thing about the entire show was Marisa Miller. She NEVER looks bad, she doesn’t seem to age and her body is increds. Whether dressed up or barely dressed, MM is crush-worthy.

Silver Lining

Liquiline Blast Eyeliner

I don’t often blog about my work, although it does find its way in. But, the beauty “expert” that I’d like to be compels me to brag on Cover Girl‘s latest and greatest. The new CG LiquilineBlast Eyeliner is the best I have EVER TRIED. It goes on like liquid but can be sharpened with a pencil sharpener. I’m obsessed with it and own it in every shade (there are 6) plus I am NOT being paid to write this!

Reasons why:

I love brown liner but it never stays on my lids! This does! Look for Brown Blaze (Shade 420)

I love any beauty product that out-performs the price I pay for it. At WalMart, it’s under $8!

It’s waterproof and all the colors are very bold.

Bedroom Eyes

On the rare Monday when I feel rested and refreshed, I am reminded of how integral and productive a good night’s rest can be. Everything in my life depends on sleep: my mood, my appetite, my health. It’s vitally important to have a bed that provides you with the best sleep you can have. It’s also lovely to have a bed you love to be in.

I prefer simplicity.

I am partial to white linens and coverlets – despite the puppies.

I love lots of blankets but a very cool room.

I’m partial to feminine.

I love mosquito nets and gauze.

And, I gravitate toward fluffy and soft.

Wanted: Bar Cart

Maybe it’s moving, maybe it’s Mad Men or maybe it’s just me but I really want a bar cart. I recently found the amazing site 1stDibs, as mentioned here. I don’t yet know how it works, exactly. I think you have to become a member to purchase anything, but it might be a worthwhile endeavor as they have a wealth of really cool furnishings and almost anything else you could possibly want.

Back to bar carts, I think  you could find something at a local thrift shop and fix it up. 1stDibs has so much in the form of bar carts that it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite.

Weekending

For the first time this summer, I don’t have plans this weekend. I plan to take my puppy to the farmer’s market, visit a few thrift shops, catch up on sleep and maybe get some sun.

Hello Lover

Aren’t you the most beautiful thing ever? Don’t you want to come home with me?

Feathering Your Nest

I’m in the process of finding a new home. I’ve been living with a wonderful friend for THREE years now. It doesn’t seem like that long, but it has been. I feel it’s time to feather my own nest. While the process of finding an attractive rental for me & wiggles & birdie is proving to be strenuous, I cannot wait to gussy up my new place.

I’m completely inspired by the following sites for house and home decor: Canvas, Horne , 1stDibs, CBell, Graham and Green, Ruby PlazaThe Well Appointed House Wisteria & Anthropologie
