Sprightly: ShoeDazzle Review

I know I had already done a review for the ShoeDazzle service back when I received my first pair, but since I’ve been a member on the site for several months now, I thought my opinion would be more valuable this time around. I have to say that I have been pretty happy with the site. The older I get, the less time I want to spend in malls dealing with large quantities of frustrating people, so the fact that I can order a new pair of affordable and adorable shoes with just one click is so appealing. Plus, I was able to make some adjustments to my showroom and now am receiving way more fun selections, which was one of my main gripes.

Happy Hump Day: Daniel Craig

You ladies really love Daniel Craig. I don’t think much of him, but figured I would throw out a freebie for you all. After all, I like doing that from time to time. 😉 Sure, the man has a ridiculous body that looks beyond fantastic in clothes (specifically in this poster for Cowboys and Aliens), but I just can’t give his face the time of day. Butter face, I believe is the term. However, he really is a great actor and definitely tends to pick some pretty stellar roles. Most recently, he will be seen in David Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo based off the bestselling book trilogy (all the best movies are based off books lately, huh?). I have not read this series yet (maybe some good airplane material for my upcoming vacation), but I did watch the trailer and it looks all sorts of magnificent. Fincher is one of my favorite directors, and his style is pretty close to impeccable so I have pretty high expectations.

This is Halloween!

I (im)patiently waited for October 1st to start hauling out the box from my garage filled to the brim with Halloween decorations. This past Saturday marked the date I could begin making our house look spook-tacular and I wasted absolutely no time! I recruited my poor hubby (who wasn’t feeling his best) to help me and by late afternoon, we were patting each other on the back for a job well done.

As people walked up and down our neighborhood, I saw them already pointing and gawking at our festive decorations. That’s right. Welcome to how I roll in October, biatches.

Here are some snapshots of my favorite pieces:

Squeeworthy: Soft Watches

Watches are one of those accessories I love hoarding. You wouldn’t know it lately though, since I have been watch-less for several months. All my watches decided to poop out on me and I’ve been too lazy to replace their batteries, so I’ve been functioning without a watch for entirely too long. I tried to remedy the situation by finally getting my beautiful Betsey Johnson watch fitted, but was frustrated to find that not every jewelry store fixes products they don’t sell (annoying).

But then (!) I discovered a lovely website named Deal Pulp. Ladies, I totally recommend joining. Sure, it’s another one of those sale sites, but what I like about Deal Pulp is that it focuses mainly on accessories, and gives you promo codes for existing webstores or selects several items from one to feature at a (much) lower price on a daily basis. While perusing one of their daily emails featuring these deals, I saw one for Soft Watches! Those of you that follow me on Pinterest know that I had pinned these fun & simple watches to my wish list board. Wish, no longer!
