The quinn

Kate Spade, that wicked minx, is trying to tempt us all into bankruptcy. Two day sample sale going on right now on the website. How much do we love this little tote bag? Also available in red and mustard yellow. Usually $395. Today it can be yours for $159.

Blackwatch plaid

I have been pining over blackwatch plaid this season, ever since I saw some awesome men's plaid pants in the Orvis catalog. Isn't this shirt lovely?

my new sweater

Born in the USA

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, I was researching clothing made in the US. Did you know that Nanette Lepore makes almost all of her clothes in the garment district in New York? I had no idea! I love so many of her things, especially this dress.

We loveth and we wanteth

How pretty are these? I love green things. I love buckles. I love these shoes.

Getting ready for tomorrow

makeup sampler

I'll admit it. I'm addicted to Sephora. During the three weeks I spent as a trophy wife, I probably went to Sephora at least twice a week. What else was I going to do with myself? Not surprisingly, I want this box full of best selling Sephora goodies.

how cute are these boots? these boots are so cute.

stunning dress

Also comes in black. Seriously considering ordering the black one. What a gorgeous, gorgeous, ladylike cocktail dress. The bow is fantastic.

and what will hold this tote bag makeup kit?

One of these pretties, perhaps?

tiny things

Got a coupon in the mail for free mini bare minerals foundation, primer, and brush from Sephora. I love tiny things. I love tiny things even more when they're free. This will be the beginning of my tote bag makeup kit.

my christmas prezzie

From my dear sweet sister. Granted, she hasn't ordered it yet. But we are so going to buy these for each other. Hooray! So exciting!

Rosemary mint

I've been on a sulfate-free kick. If you are like me and are low-maintenance but prefer to look put together and non-slobby, you rely on two things-- accessorizing and quality beauty products. Sulfate free= soft and shiny hair that needs to be cut less often.

And it's amazing to be blow drying your hair and wonder, "what is that amazing smell?" and then realize it's your hair. A word to the wise though-- this rosemary mint thing is real. I'd advise washing yourself before conditioning, otherwise you might discover an uncomfortably minty fresh tingle in certain... ahem... sensitive regions.
