If I were an elf, I would wear these shoes every day. I'm not, so if I did get them, I'd only wear them on occasion. You know, so no one thinks I'm an elf...

Happy St Patrick's Day!

It's Friday's Fancies on Sunday! Check out my original post HERE.

On no other day of the year would you be able to get away with wearing this green and gold ensemble, but it is St. Patrick's Day so I think you're good. You should be able to make it through the day pinch free.

Life is a Maize Dress

For me autumn is all about layers. You can still wear your favorite summertime dresses, just pair them up with some knee high boots and thick socks to stockings to keep your legs warm and a nice big cardigan to wrap yourself up in should you catch a chill.

Do you wear your summer dresses in the fall? How do you keep warm? 

Frankenstein Manicure

Happy Mani Monday and Happy Halloween!

This week I did a super fun frankenstein manicure. It requires a bit of a steady hand, but you don't have to be a pro since it's a silly sloppy monster. It was easier than I expected!

Sinful Colors - Innocent - 944 

(this color stains your nails a bit, I recommend using a clear base coat 

as well as a coat of white underneath to protect your nails.)

Candy Colored Hair

I get a lot of questions about my hair. I've often thought I should sit down and take some time to log exactly what I go through to get my hair these colors and to maintain them. Well I've not actually ever taken the time to do so, but fear not inquiring minds! The ever lovely Gala Darling has! While she doesn't cover the full gamut of bleaching, dying and maintenance (it's a LOT to cover), she does cover quite a bit. So here for you my loves a little linkiepoo to Gala's post on XO Jane:

20 days until spring

It's so close I can taste it. 20 days until spring. By the looks of DC today, you'd think it was already here (what does that silly groundhog know anyway).

I'm all about mixing up pastels this season. In fact it's a pastel colorblocked wonderland in my closet. These would be welcome additions!

This week in flowers

A little different twist on this week in photos, this week is all about the flowers in my house! 

I wish I could claim that mine are cuts from my early springtime garden, alas, they aren't. I was however able to make a trip out to see Jane this Saturday and pick up some wax flowers and berries from her shop. It's always a joy to catch up with our friends at the shop and lest we not forget get some good ol' black lab love.

 

 

Some shots from the shop: 

A quadruple bloom lily (sheesh, overachiever.) 

A sweet little arrangement of roses, tulips, berries and billy balls... 

hey wait, those are some of my favs, is that for me?

A miniature arrangement of painted billy balls.

and last but not least berries! 

Do you love flowers too? 

Hop on over to Small But Charming's blog and see what everyone else has in their house right now. 

remember that thing...

So, remember that thing I was saying about spring? Yeah, that still. Thanks.
