Jelly's are back!

And I want a pair!

What do you think?

I know they say if you've done it the first time around you should probably not do it again. But these are so cute! (The girl I was working with let me photograph her feet so I could show you how great the shoes are!) And the Jelly's that I had in 1986 were pink. These ones are blue!

Anyone have an extra $10,000?

So last night Cuddles and I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and I'm not going into the whole convo but at some point he said "Man she looked HOT in those clothes!" meaning, when Anne Hathaway makes the transformation from bulky Gap sweater to chic Dolce & Gabanna model. For the rest of the movie she walks around in impossibly expensive clothes with supa-high heels.

Yes, she looks hot, and expensive, and maybe a little uncomfortable.

Looking at one's wardrobe after watching such a movie is like eating a Tic Tac to satisfy a chocolate ice cream craving. It just doesn't cut it.

Not sure I can do anything about that though, and definitely made myself feel better by telling Cuddles that if I pranced around in those outfits on a daily basis, he would think I was one low-cut, bollowy-dress, cinched-at-the-waist-with-a-ridiculously-large-belt wearing freak. I think it worked in the movie because EVERYONE was dressed that way. But in the context of "normal" work? Well... what do you think...





















Dammit, she does look good.

Das Boots

A friend was going through her closet and clearing out things she doesn't wear for ebay and yard sale. When I pulled out these patent leather ankle boots my first thought was, "Whatever possessed you to buy these?" But I had to try them on....

Well, now I am the proud owner of a pair of purple patton leather ankle books. There was something about them I couldn't resist!

For you disbelievers out there, perhaps seeing them in the context of an outfit would help!

A Bag Decision

I don't know why I am having so much trouble with this one. I need a new rolling travel tote to replace my old broken zippered one and to compliment my recent lap top purchase. For use on my many plane trips.

I've narrowed it down to these two but I am having trouble deciding. would love to hear your opinions and or suggestions if you have seen any other fabulous bags.

BAG 1: Baggalini
Comes in assorted colors, I think I like the black and blue. Light weight (5lbs) Very cute and fashionable.











BAG2: Travel Pro crew 4
A little less fashiony, more travel based. Definately not as good looking but I think it might be more durable. It's the water bottle holder on the side that I really like!
