Blame my tween for my annoying use of "Instagram-speak." Between my "FLEEK" references and my "Yassssss! Kill 'em!" exclamations, it's no wonder that my latest identity-crisis folly involved a trip to my stylist to dye my hair blue. I typically go to her for highlights to cover my gray (yes, it's bad) and I've been getting golden streaks for the past year or so. But on Halloween I strutted into the salon, plopped down on her consult couch and announced that I wanted to tint my hair blue. She looked at me like I had lost my mind. "BLUE? You? Why BLUE?" And I explained to her that I wanted something funky and different and something that would snap me out of the Suburban Mommy grind. That's when she hit me with: "Blue is my … [Read more...]
ISO: The Perfect Boots for Fall
I'm falling off my game. {see what I did there? FALL?} Aside from the fact that I spent today in my husband's old Florida Gator football sweatpants and UGGs, I am thinking about my Fall wardrobe. First up? The perfect pair of boots. My husband will never understand the amount of thought and perusing that goes into finding the right pair of boots: heel height, shaft height, shaft width, color, material and, of course, price. It is a science ladies! Am I right? When I was practicing law, I generally got a new pair of boots each Fall - because I could afford it! - and also because I needed them to wear almost daily. But last year was the first year I skipped my annual purchase, mostly because I couldn't settle on the perfect pair. But I … [Read more...]
Wearing Cavalli (Small-Time High-Roller Style)
For the past year I've been wearing the same perfume because I ADORE IT. It's Hanae Mori and I can't tell you how many compliments I've received when wearing it, including from the one and only Shaquille O'Neal (yes, for real). This summer I went on a weekend cruise with my family and during one of the sales on board, I picked up Acqua by Roberto Cavalli on a whim. I love his clothes (not that I own any) and so I thought I could feel like I was "wearing Cavalli" by having this perfume. I'm nothing if not creative. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and it smelled divine! It's a close contender for the top spot in my fragrance lineup. FYI: If you want to try either or both, these links will take you to my … [Read more...]
Why Playing Santa For My Husband Is Futile: A Look At My Past Gift Ideas
So I'm totally the go-to person in my friend circle for gift recommendations and such - I'm usually pretty good with making suggestions or sharing the 'new, hot thing' but the one that I am TERRIBLE at is giving suggestions for people's husbands. Let me tell you why. It seems, it the 15+ years that I've known my own husband, I have failed to find a gift that he actually will use. All of the my usual tricks fall flat when it comes to figuring out what he'd like. Think About His Hobbies! I did that. Take last Christmas for example, one of the gifts I got him was a nifty sports towel that INSTANTLY COOLS ITSELF so that he could take it to basketball and the gym and stuff. Do you know where that towel is and how many times … [Read more...]
An Unexpected New Look
Last month I got new glasses from and new highlights to liven up my hair situation. I did these within a few weeks of each other, so the change in my look was gradual (to me), but once I got to Blogalicious, it was evident that the slight changes to my look were more drastic than I had anticipated. So many people remarked on how different I looked! I was reminded of the new look last week when it literally took Caryn a good minute before she recognized me at Camp Mighty - and she's known me for years! The specs came from Rivet & Sway and are of the 'nerd glasses' genre (according to my tween). I opted for a bright blue ombre because Lord Have Mercy I was tired of looking at the same ol' style of glasses that I'd been wearing for … [Read more...]
