A new bed!

Hey guys! It's a little off topic but I absolutley had to stop and gush about this new bed that I got my cats a few days ago.Last weekend my cats received a new bed to share and hopefully it will keep those little trouble makers off of mine! I think they will quite like it considering that it is some-what roomy so they can hide inside of it.



There is a sheepskin lining on the inside which is certainly going to win over Oreo. Fernie will love the nook because of it's enclosed design, he tends to choose small, dark spaces when he takes a nap.




I am absoutley in love with this animal print on the exterior! What better pattern for a cat bed than cat print? Besides, Fernie thinks he is a wild animal anyways! So overall, this little bed has sheepskin flooring, foux fur lining, an enclosed design, and a killer exterior. xD. I can't believe how spoiled these cats are !


It looks like Oreo is already poking around inside!

My threads: Oxfords with heels and black friday deals

Yesterday was surprisingly warm compared to how the weather has been these past few weeks. I didn't even have to wear a jacket or gloves! However, I was not about to leave the house at 7 am in the morning wearing a t-shirt so I opted for a thick green cardigan and a vibrant scarf.



The scarf was a gift from my cousin, while the cardigan was purchased at a black Friday sale last year ( quick history: during a time of scandal and trickery in America , money hungry business men attempted to take advantage of wall street investors. Their plan was to make a huge profit by tricking the president but it was ruined when president Grant discovered their scheme. thousands of dollars were lost and prices were forced to drop everywhere. Hundreds of years later, stores all over America feature unbelievable prices on black Friday , the day after thanksgiving, for about 15 hours only. Seriously, people get into fist fights over black Friday sales!)


My shoes are not shown in the pics but I am wearing my favorite ones : oxfords. The best part about these shoes are their heels. A short girl like me needs all the height she can get! P.S: does anyone spot a four leaf clover in this picture? ha ha just kidding. Do you have a favorite pair of shoes?

Febuary wishlist

I have officially decided that every month, I will create a list of goals and wishes that I want to achieve and hopefully, I can succeed at completing each list in 31 days! What I don't finish, will roll over to the next month's list.


I was so excited to get started! Here is my February list :




In case my writing is hard to read (It is actually very hard to write legibly with crayon xD ) here is what the list says:




1) Revlon photo ready airbrush foundation (I would absolutely love to get the photo ready primer as well)


2) Maybelline dream Nude air foam foundation

3) Almay smart shade correcting primer


4) John Freida brilliant brunette shampoo and condition
er

Does anything here appeal to you?


I figured that four was realistic for this months wish list, especially considering I do not have job at- the- moment xD. I promise as soon as I get these I will do a review and let every one know how things turned out! I hope to get started very soon!

Photo shoot and friends to boot

My best friend and I had the pleasure ( more like the challenge) of walking to a nearby (more like two mile away) park. After having a swing set contest , because your never too old to enjoy a playground, we decided to have a mini photo shoot of our own . It was quite the perfect day for it if i say so myself! The wind was blowing, the sun was up, and the weather was warm but breezy. The scenery was truly beautiful as well!





It was a really great opportunity to see the differences in our styles. I found that my neutral colors rather contrasted her vivid shades. It's funny because people often mistake us for each other (seriously, every one :friends, teachers, mothers....) since floral colors look good on my friend, maybe I will try them sometime?




I really admire what she did here. Floral and ruffles and lace, oh my!So many eye catchers going on here but everything seems to go so well. I think my my favorite piece in this outfit is the skirt, it's probably as feminine as you can get with it's ruffles and roses. In a past post I talked about playing it safe with neutrals and matching colors. I also mentioned how some people can pull of a look like this, my best friend is one of them xD.



Today, my outfit was very simple and consisted of totally neutral colors: brown , black, white, etc. I loved this shirt for the adorable desighn in front ( it has a collar and polka dot pattern that looks totally cartoon). The black flower necklace was a Christmas present and added just enough femininity to make this outfit fit my style to-a-tea.




We really had a great time playing model for the day and here's the finished product :) We must have taken 50 shots with instagram and such so I think I have narrowed down to four or five really nice ones !

Teal Ring and Aqua Marine

I recently visited some family in the city and on the day I saw my cousin, I noticed that she was wearing the most adorable ring! It was a beautiful and quite large teal stone with a ring of silver around the edges. It must have been love at first sight. When I asked where she got it, she replied that she had purchased it at a swamp meet. I have to admit for a while I was heartbroken, the market is every Friday and I was only visiting for a day. To my surprise, when I saw her next (about a week ago) she pulled out the exact ring; she had looked for it last Friday and purchased it for me. Thanks cuzn!!!




I painted my nails a fresh aqua marine color to match . I will say that it is a bit large for my finger but it definitely doesn't affect my enthusiasm. What a perfect transitional color from winter to spring. It's a bit early to think about spring but it's a good thing to keep in mind. In the right light, the color looks fresh and seems to pop, but for the meantime, while the weather is still Grey, the shade pretty much matches the color of the sky.




I went a little overboard with the pictures, but I think everyone gets the idea :p The great thing about teal is that the color is so easy to pair with other things. I played it safe with a black sweater and belt when I wore the ring today. But the possibilities are endless and I think this ring has a lot of potential. I plan on developing a small collection of rings so that I can where them more often, and so the hunt begins!!!
