The Search for Over-The-Knee Boots

So wanting these by MIA found on piperlime. They are so cute on the girl below (featured on piperlime’s website). At $299, they are a bit too expensive for me to take the plunge. I am now in the market for a knock-off of this boot. Please do share if you come across anything!

Say no to sweatpants.

Stamp of Approval

I’m in the market for a return address stamp (which I’ve always wanted). There are plenty of cute options on Etsy but I’m having so much trouble deciding! Any thoughts? All the examples are linked to sources.

Good morning! The end of the week always brings a certain vigorous lust for life, if you will. I’m feeling enamored with the whole concept of the “weekend” even though I need to spend it packing and cleaning. Alas, I’m sure I’ll be able to fit in some pool time and DD-ing. Right now I’m…

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.

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.
