polished in fall

yippee skippy for fall fashion.

i'm saving oodles with my closet already camel copious.

thank you chloe.

i'm loving the fingernail fun out for fall.

typically i like to keep my nails nekid in spring and summer.

but, once the seasons change {in blustery newport beach} these beds get a blanket of lacquer.

so far i'm fancying the following:

butter is my favorite brand of polish; the wear and the shades. as you saw above they are paying homage to alexander mcqueen this season. here is the full spread: all hail to mcqueen, bumster {inspired by mcqueen's low trouser seen in his 1996 show}, marrow, & victoriana.

please dears, tell me what you'll be donning come cooler temps.

wednesday whimsy

i have a bear of a day.

typically i'd moan and groan, and count the minutes until my pillow and i rendezvous anew.

even when the fatigue inroads my body, i'm can choose whoopee and wingding!

here's to adding a little hoopla to your wednesday friends!

simple math really......

THIS:images-1

EQUALS:

images-1I mean, REALLY boys, how hard is it to change the roll?!?!! It's become such a problem I've made a deal with HH that the next time he leaves me cardboard in the loo, I get to buy myself a present courtesy of his hard earned money.  Because the man IS brilliant, he could not argue that this was fair. This is the perfect opportunity for me to get my hands on that  Coco Cocoon I've been eyeing!!!  How cool is Karl Lagerfeld to pick Lily Allen to enact Miss Audrey in the new Fall campaign?

"Hello, Lover!!!"

I consider myself a somewhat practical and reasonable girl........chanel-pearl-shoebut these Chanel Pearl Pumps leave me slightly feverish with a less than responsible makeup. I MUST have them. They complete me. Imagine all the lady-like acts of goodness I'll be able to accomplish with these magic heels (they ARE magic.) Wearing these pearly perfections I just know my charity work will flourish exponentially. I'll stand high above all the others (the platform measures 4") at the soup kitchen rationing out porridge, i'll sit so elegantly, ankles crossed to the side just so, as i read to orphans, and promenading down the boulevards in my opaline magic shoes i'll get my environmental petitions signed with grace and style. I can just hear the sound of bippidi boppidi boo as my feet step into said fancy footware.Just like the Princess; a transformation will take place: my posture more erect, my teeth more sparkly, and my complexion a little peachier and creamier. High Tea with devonshire cream and scones will replace my black as tar coffee. The Bible will replace my Vanity Fair, my fingertips manicured frenchly , my hair tightly bunned, my lips glossed clear, and my music hip-hop free. Can't you just see the well-bred lady I will become? Now, who do i have to f*ck to get them?
