Helpless

There is a lot going on in my world this week. I’m feeling a bit helpless as some loved ones are going through tough times and there’s not much I can do. I’m leaning on some Jimmy Ruffin for support.

 

When Nothing Goes Right

Do you ever have one of those days when nothing is working? Yeah, they are usually Mondays.  Anyway, these things are uplifting me from my melancholy.

Charlize looking super cute and snuggly…

This cake

This adorable outfit/girl working bed head

This cute-as-a-button child

The Man Repeller and her cape…duh

NPR’s 24/7 music channel and of course, this puppy who is all mine

Comfortable Corners

Doesn’t this weather make you feel like hibernating?

ASOS Stateside!

I have long slobbered over the gorgeous/affordable offerings from mega-online-British-retailer ASOS. However, I had forgotten they were creating a site for US customers until today. AND they are offering free shipping and free returns. I also must note for any interested parties, ASOS has just as much to offer for men’s fashion – that might require a separate post.

Umm for Christmas, may I have everything?

Warning: Slobber likely ahead.

Dress $163

Are you excited yet? There is seriously so much available on this site and a wide range of price points. One could buy an outfit (dress, tights, headband and shoes) for under $100 or spend a fortune on one special dress.

Monday

It’s Monday again. October has ended and soon daylight savings will as well. As much as I look forward to the holidays, the sun going down before I leave the office in the afternoons is not quite appealing. With temperatures spiraling downward in the near future, I’m enjoying these last few days of later sunsets and bare legs.

Coffee

It’s Monday again, coffee is most definitely needed.

Siesta

Ever have one of those days where you wish you lived in a country where it was appropriate to take a mid-day siesta? Yeah…me too.

Kick Up or Kick Back

It’s Friday!! Kick up your heels or kick back and relax. I am definitely going to attempt to enjoy this (maybe) last weekend of temps above 80. A little sun, a little romance?
