Where I Share About Shoes and Carrot Fries....

I really loathe people who are always saying they are sooooooo tired/exhausted because really that's just something that real life throws on us at times.  I won't go there because I know that everyone out there is tired.  It's fine.  It's sometimes the nature of being an adult.  Mostly I do like being an adult.  Mostly...

I won't bore you with how much I worked already this week but I will have a small celebration here for some recognition from my manager at our team meeting this week.  Snaps to him for the nice bottle of wine that came with it (we love wine at this house).  I also found out that I have a small bonus coming in August -- which after not getting a raise this year -- it could be all of $100 and I would still be ecstatic.  Even if it will be sent to grown up things like paying off debt or my Roth.  Or that pesky medical bill from a doctor visit in March that I'm ignoring because I hate high deductible plans (note an adult thing I do not like). 

I digress.  To fun stuff.

  • I made carrot fries on Sunday! It was easy and I really liked them.  If it helps sway anyone Matt advised me that even he liked them and carrots normally make him "dry heave" (what is it with men and vegetables?). 
  • I would like to bake this sometime soon.
  • Recently purchased these shoes -- I really wanted the Vince Allison mules that everyone has but many thanks to the blogger that linked the super similar  Shoemint Miller mules Kohl's. They are pretty much just alike.  
Really I want to stay home and drink coffee in a summer Thunderstorm tomorrow morning. I will say it's super nice that we have a short week and even get to close up early tomorrow.  We have a super low key Fourth of July planned and I'm really excited about it.  Catching up on cooking, reading, working out, and lake time!

Monday Obsessions: Shoes

I don't know what has gotten into me lately but all I can think about when I'm shopping or even not shopping are shoes.  I added some really great stuff to my closet this fall -- I thought it would satisfy but I just want more.  Clearly this doesn't jive with my new simplistic 2015.  But dream with me here. 



Gimme all the heels. All the time. These seem so sexy yet so practical to walk in to me.  Especially at $69.95. Please note these are currently out of stock...but let's get hopeful that they will be back soon. 



I know. Another heel.  It can't be helped.  I wish the price point were better ($134.95) but I bet they would last a while.  And could be worn to work or out. I did find similar style here at Forever 21 at a much better price. 



These are super cute and a great price point for something a little more trendy.  $22.90 and they may as well be J.Crew anyway.  


Happy shopping fellow shoe lovers.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

First -- I did want to mention that The Housewife was induced today and we have babies! Finally! All are happy and healthy and I will let her feel better and tell the story in a few months when she has more than 5 seconds to herself.  I haven't seen them yet because she was originally trying for induction Friday and work has been insane this week so I am going tomorrow. 

It's been a long day so you get some fun stuff I've been thinking about. 

More boots! Sperry Shearwaters in Black
{shocker, I know.}


I kinda dig these black ones.  AND -- they are on sale for $68 on Piperlime.  I figure if I hate them I will just send them back and get the charcoal pair? I think I would like them a lot better and be able to commit if I could just put them on with a freaking outfit.  I can't visualize.  Anyone ever have that problem?

Tory Burch Amanda Crossbody

If I had a rich and loving boyfriend this would be on my Christmas list for him.  $225. www.toryburch.com. You know the drill. 


Laura Mercier Pressed Mineral Powder

With summer long gone as well as my last bit of a tan it's safe to say my philosophy mineral powder has to go, too.  They just don't make a color to fit my pale winter skin.  After much debate I've moved to the Laura Mercier pressed mineral powder (not to be confused with the pressed powder) in the lightest shade they have. We are going for Ann Hathaway porcelain this winter.  $36.  {Got mine at Sephora/The Mecca.} 



I'll let you know if I manage to actually make a boot purchase before my plane leaves for NYC.  TDH called today and I swear he could read me the phone book in his dreamy accent and I would be utterly charmed.  

What are you loving? Christmas is coming! Tell!

Love you. Mean it.
