Spotted and Hearted

March 31, 2010 // 0 Comments

I’m kind of over the moon right now because my very best friend just had her first baby. I’m just sitting here pushing refresh on the computer and waiting for more pictures. This spotted reflects my happiness.

I saw this girl wearing cute boat shoes on our cruise and I can’t stop thinking about them. Maybe it was because she had dainty little feet. Something’s telling me that they wouldn’t look as cute on my size 8 1/2 clunkers.

Remember my love of gallery walls? Turns out it’s still going strong. These are a few faves as of late.





No Foundation Foundation is my fave (giveaway time!)

You know those people who just wake up pretty? I’m not one of them and frankly, anybody who is irritates me. I’m one of those people who needs a healthy dose of foundation before I enter the light as to not scare anyone into thinking I’ve a chimney sweep with a slight case of jaundice. If you feel even the slightest like me, I have good news. NV Perricone is offering one reader a bottle of their No Foundation Foundation that makes you glow without looking like Miss Mcstreaky pants. It actually makes it look like you just woke up with that pretty flush.

Here’s the game plan: leave a comment on this post sharing why you want (or like me need) this foundation by next Friday, April 2. The winner will be chosen randomly then. Best of luck my friends.





Bags with stripes are my fave

Because somedays you don’t really feel like widening any part of your body by wearing horizontal stripes. Those days are usually following a Mini Egg binge. Why do they have to be so dang good?

Bri and I are going out to breakfast on Saturday if any of you Denver-ites care to join us. Just RSVP here so we can get an idea of how big of a group we might expect.





Party advice is my fave

cuteasbutton

Babies and parties are two of my favorite things so when Katie asked for some baby shower ideas, I happily obliged. Right now I’m loving the cute as a button theme. Plus all those pastels just scream, “Hello spring!”

button card, vintage party, button cookies, polka dot balloons, button garland





Answers are my fave

Because you were asking…

My swimming suit is from Delias. Yeah, the same store you shopped at when you were thirteen.

We visited Nassau, St Thomas/St Johns, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. Our favorite beach was by far St Johns, Trunk Bay but San Juan was a really beautiful city to tour. If you want more specifics, just email me.





Caribbean colors are my fave

Tag Team back again. I’m a little more freckled, a little more tan, a little off kilter (my living room is kind of swaying) and thanks to the pull down ice cream machine available 24 hours, a little more chub. These polaroids are making me happy because I was there and experienced the Pantone color of the year water. I highly recommend the Caribbean in all shapes and forms because honey, that ain’t the Hudson.

I hope you don’t mind the short travelogue.
