Washi tape and wax gift bags. My latest shade, OPI's Red Lights Ahead...Where?  Perfect for my pale and tan friends alike. This song popped up on my ipod the other day.  I'd forgotten how much I love it.  Such a fun song! I love the colors in this kitchen.  So cheerful, don't you think? I will be here, two weeks from today.  Folly Beach in Charleston, SC.  Can't wait! Happy weekend, everyone! Images via  1 , 4 , 5

Here goes folks... OPI I'm Indi-a Mood For Love.  This is my new spring/summer polish.  I think it's so fresh and bright and will add a great pop of color to any outfit.  I picked mine up at Publix but I know they have it at Amazon too. Another thing I picked up at Publix, Rice Works Sweet Chili Crisps.  These caught my eye as a great alternative to regular chips (they're made from brown rice) and the flavor just sounded so tasty.  Let me tell you, it was!  These little things are sooo addictive and sooo delicious!  I bought my first bag and then was back the next day picking up three more while they were on sale.  Definitely a new fave! We have a public library right down the road from us, and I went and finally went and signed up for a card this week.  I hadn't had a library card for years before we moved to Oklahoma, but ever since then, I'm all about them.  I rarely read books more than once so why should I have to buy one ...

Now that the weather is finally starting to cool down, I think it's time to get ready for fall!  Here's a list of my fall must-have accessories.  Enjoy. First up is this gray nail polish from OPI.  It from their Touring America Collection and is called French Quarter for Your Thoughts.  I just can't seem to get enough of gray, even on my nails.  And this shade is perfect for fall. Next on my list are these vintage inspired earrings from Banana Republic.  They have just enough detail to give your ears a little more pizzazz than a normal diamond stud, and they look great with every outfit.  Seriously.  I've worn them with lounge t-shirts and with dresses.  Plus, at only $29.50, you can't go wrong (I got mine when they were running a deal of 30% off all jewelry, so keep your eye out for another sale!) Also from Banana, we have these leopard flats (called Anna by BR).  Yes, that's right folks.  I found the new pair of leopard f...

Even though I'm not as big a fan of professional football as I am of college football, I'm excited about watching the Super Bowl today.  A large reason for that is because of the commercials.  Given my advertising background, I still love to watch and critique commercials.  Hopefully the ads this year won't disappoint.  Another reason I'm excited about the Super Bowl is because it's being held in my old home, Texas!  And apparently I'm not the only one excited about the location.  OPI nail polish has come out with an exclusive Texas Collection that has perfect color names to commemorate the great state of Texas!  Houston, We Have a Purple.  Austin-tatious Turquoise.  I love it!  I definitely think I need some of these. Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!
