There’s not much to note (still stalling on house projects, still shopshopshopping in 32 tabs), I do have a few pictures. (Yay, a break from the novels!) A bit of truth in this bumper sticker I spied while out with Mom:   What seems to be a lovely place to perch in the walled garden [...]

So. It was well over a year ago, when I fell in love with this Kate Spade clutch.   When I discovered it, it was already sold out. As someone who loves Pride and Prejudice . . . the book, the BBC production that made us all love Colin Firth, the Keira Knightley movie that [...]

I have a birthday coming up. These days, I may not relish the thought of adding one to that number I write down in all the “Age” boxes, but . . . I still enjoy the presents like a child. Also, these days, I feel guilty if I buy something not house-related . . . [...]

I so badly want to exclaim to you: THE KITCHEN IS DONE!  THE KITCHEN IS DONE! But.  Well.  Then I’d have to add the small disclaimer: (Well, almost.  Except for the exterior door.  And one bit of tiny tiny baseboard trim.  And v.fine miniscule bits of edgework on the doorway that you’d never see in [...]

As depicted in the previous two entries, I have a counter-full of new cosmetics. New cosmetics whose application is a confusing foreign world. So, while I had some time on my hands today, I took to some experimentation. The BB Cream, easy. The natural blush, easy. The eyes, though . . . With all the [...]

I know I just went to Sephora (and wrote about it), but once was not enough . . .Sephora was beckoning. Also, the one at The Fancy Mall had been jam-packed, and my PixyPanic went all twitchy. I knew/hoped that this one, early on a Thursday morning, would be pretty sparse . . . And [...]

I’m sitting here with a little time on my hands, and I vowed that I would practice posting from my never-before-tried WordPress iPad app. (So, if this comes out strangely, or auto-corrected into something embarrassing, well, I’ve already covered my bases, haven’t I.) We’re even going to practice posting an on-the-go pic while we’re at [...]

Do you ever feel like you’re running impossibly behind? Lately, I’ve felt like I’m struggling to catch up in a lot of life aspects.  My house is messy, my laundry pile overflows, I’m playing catch-up by an entire SEASON of some really good tv shows on my DVR, there are stacks and stacks of unread [...]

The past few days have seemed really hectic. You look back and think about how you didn’t accomplish MUCH, but gosh you’re worn out. There was dress shopping, during which I am sure the entirety of Belks made its way into my dressing room . . . and luckily three dresses worked. Dresses for a [...]

Bits and pieces. This purse is making me swoon.  The shiny deep blue patent leatherness of it.   Source: shop.nordstrom.com via Pixy on Pinterest   It’s way out of my budget, so you don’t need to bother clicking.  Just swoon over that blue. Isn’t it funny, how when I have a home color scheme, it [...]
