PS- I’m obsessed with this
Thanks to the lovely Kerry, I heard about Girls on the Run, which I want to join (as soon as enough cashola is raised to start a local chapter— please donate to our group!). Check out the mission statement:
“a non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. Our curricula addresses all aspects of girls’ development - their physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing.”
Um hi. Hell yes. You probably don’t want to watch the video on the site if your mascara isn’t waterproof. The girls are so cute!
Thanks Kerry :)
Signature.
In an airport nail salon in Nashville, Tennessee, I happened upon *my* favorite nail polish for me. It is perfect for my skin tone, doesn’t annoy me when I look at it.. it is just simply awesome. This picture from vampyvarnish.com really doesn’t do it justice, I swear, but omg I love it. Soo.. let me introduce you to No Spain, No Gain, from OPI’s fall 2009 Spain collection.
Yeah.. looks too pink in this picture, but oh well. You’ll just have to see it in real life :)
getting lost.
I would walk across the world barefoot and speak every language and talk to every person and I would wear this dress.
Avert your eyes
I think a I found an awesome replacement for damned Victoria’s Secret (over it!!)

The Look 4 Less
Today the blog-stress from thelook4less.net has my favorite inspired by look in a long time. If you want to see her take on this Madewell top, check out her blog!
Whooo.
These up-and-backs to LA in a day are getting too hard for an old lady like me. BUT I mustered the strength for a teensy little trip to Ikea, and I’m pretty happy with my purchases and wish list.
On the subject of color and being girly, I bought this lamp shade, which really I have no use for at the moment:
An embroidered flower lampshade. Yes, that’s right.
I found a couch that is not as cute as the one I posted the other day, but just looks like “aaahhhhhhh [falls backward onto couch into deep sleep].” Touch choice. Also 1/3 of price. Hmmm.
And I bought a Queen Anne style writing desk that is going to get all kinds of paint treatment, because really, I just… really need my own stuff.
Oooh and how can I forget? While waiting for government officials to do their thing, I made an even tinier pit stop at Sephora, and let me just say, if you don’t want to spend your retirement in increments of $9, don’t even look at the current OPI for Sephora nail polish collection. I forced myself to narrow it down to THREE from about 12. Literally. And honestly I may still go back.
Off to bed folks.
ah and ps
all saints is having a sale, and I want want want want want.
because I am a beast, and the clothes are so gorgeous.
<3
UPDATE: So yeah what if I bought this?
Color
For some reason I am really liking color these days, including this dress:
From Forever 21. Not my usual style, but I really like the bodice, and the skirt, and really just the whole thing.
More more more.
Love the yellow, and the rug.
Love that thing thrown over the headboard.
And this cake is insane!!!
I want to be this girl:
Shop Nasty Gal
Love this outfit, especially the top.
