What I Bought Today
HotWxDripN
going straight to the checkout counter, I sashayed over to cosmetics
(surprise!) and left with 3 more Loreal Glam Shines. I bought Starlet and
Seductress 2 weeks ago, and loved them. Today, I added Princess, Muse, and
Diva to my collection. I normally stick to high-end stuff because I'm usually
disappointed with the drugstore stuff once I get home and try it on properly,
but these are great. I also bought Lucky and Shape.

From the Le Sportsac Gwen Stefani collection:
(can't believe I just bought something called this)The Hella Hobo in
the Lamb Print.
http://www.lesportsac.com/store/8812_3350.html
It's the same size as the leather hobo purse I now carry, and it's a
fun look for when I don't want to carry a leather purse.

Oprah had on her show yesterday. (My Favorite Spring Things Show). It was at a
garage sale and brand new. The lady wanted $20, I offered $10, she took $15.
Hee hee, it's for sale online for $85.

Trilby, there were Rimmel mascaras, makeup brushes and foundations, but no
Rimmel lipsticks to be found.
So I had to content myself with:
OO nail lacquer in Autumn Red, Almay Stay Smooth Lipcolor in Dawn and Revlon
Colorstay Lip Tint in Caramel, all of which came to $4.
Also found some drawstring black linen capris/crop pants on sale for $28.

_browsing_ the new fall stuff. Came home with:

apple green leather tote that appears to be a knock off of a
combination of Kate Spade and Sarah Shaw (same pinking across the

Also ordered a bag from the same local girl who made my pink and

- very cute dark navy pantsuit by Courtenay, on clearance for $13.99. The pants
zip in the back and are *slightly* tapered. The top is sleeveless and collarless

little self-strap and d-ring closure. No idea where I'll wear this, but for $14
I couldn't *not* get it!
- Candy Rain baseball-style shirt with grey torso, black 3/4 sleeves, black trim

Some weeks ago, I made a necklace to wear to my son's football games. Team is
the Panthers. I got a ceramic black panther from Shipwreck with the intention
of making this necklace into a casual/fun piece specifically for the football
games. I really thought it would turn out kind of tacky, but that would be
okay just for a football game, you know? Well, I got to making that thing and
before I really realized it, I had Swarovski and Bali all in it, and it turned
out anything but tacky. It's very beautiful. I will still wear it to the
football games, but it's elegant enough to wear with my good clothes, too. I
never thought I'd want to wear a necklace with a black panther hanging off it,
but it's really an interesting piece. And when I saw that it had turned out
nicely, I even glued some tiny rhinestones on the panther's face for his eyes
and used a rhinestone clasp! Making jewelry is so fun. -- Beckie

Wow, that sounds fantastic! Do you have a photo?
I'm just finishing up a set of bracelets for a wedding , one for the bride,
one
for each of her daughters plus several for her to give as gifts.
Her theme is Victorian, purple/lavender and white. I copied a necklace in
a museum catalogue for their bracelets using Swarovski crystals and pewter
clasps. The gift ones are very modern and all different. They are mainly
druks with accents of sterling or a lampworked bead as accent.
It's amazing how a piece of jewelry can pick up - or change - an outfit.
BTW, I haven't ordered from Shipwreck in ages, has their quality and
customer service improved?
I wonder if we three are the only jewelry designers here?

I will try to get a digital photo of the necklace, J. Right now, I am on the
hunt for components to use to make one of those "O" necklaces several AF'ers
have been talking about. I saw a rhinestone "O" pendant on a website that
looked like it might work, but did I bookmark the site? Of course not. So now
I have to find it again. And yes, it's wonderful how jewelry can pick up or
change an outfit. Those bridesmaid bracelets you made sound gorgeous. I, too,
like to use pewter to make Victorian pieces. The pewter gives the pieces that
"old" look that's so perfect for Victorian. I've been wearing more pink this
summer, both in cosmetics and clothes, and I've been having a ball making
jewelry with pink in it. Recently, I got some 4 inch headpins and made
earrings with them. I used 3mm pink crystals and some silver, and I love the
way those long, dangly pink crystals look with this spring green tank dress I
have. The earrings are quite simple, really, but they add just the right pinky
sparkle with that dress. -- Beckie

store (bracelet came from Mexico). Regular silver looking (I think 1 and 1/8
inch)safety pins strung on two elastic cords (top and bottom of pin).On the
open part of the safety pin (before closing together) there are small seed
beads in coral and then the next pin has citrine colored beads, and then the
next pin has 5 larger beads (about 4 to 5 MM). They also put pins with no
beads here and there. Grouped up close together in a bracelet circle, the
effect is very very nice! But I dare not steal this idea. LOL
Wearing this with silver earrings and the new coral color top I bought
yesterday at such a good price at Neiman Marcus Last Call.

I have used the Cashmere Mist Body Lotion for a couple years. It is heavenly
as a comfort body lotion scent! Don't know if there is still a Creme, but
the Lotion was always better. The lotion fragrance really does last, and I
often mix it with half unscented lotion if I want something lighter (plus it
really extends the life of the container...I have the 6.7 oz one now).
Am thinking about the mini Glossimers but I have to go see which colors they
are. Otherwise, there was very little in the catalog that screamed "must
have" at me. It must know that I'm trying to be moratorium-y.

mail. I did a fast Google and found an old post by Doris that describes the
scent. Hopefully she doesn't mind me posting it here:
"A delicately feminine fragrance, it blends Moroccan jasmine, lily of the
valley, and bergamot for its upper notes, while the background comes from
a combination of sandalwood, amber, and musk. A clean scent for everyday
wear." Elsewhere I've seen it described as a woodsy Oriental.
After reading this description, I'm not so sure whether this is something
that I will particularly care for. Normally, I go for the lighter, more
citrus and vanilla scents. But this is a nice excuse to try something
different, and you never know right? An AFer should always been open to new
beauty experiences. :)

These are available for the anniversary sale (and in the sale catalog), so
they probably aren't on the site yet. The boots are a light-ish medium pink
slightly distressed looking leather with pointy toes and tan wooden skinny

them more unique, but doesn't take away from the cute-ness/pink-ness. I'm

Why should YOU care? So the following WILL NOT happen to you.
Came home from my court date with the ex yesterday to find my mom in a
panic...and then to find my kitchen, garage and part of my living room under
water.
The hose connecting to the washing machine decided it was done and basically
there was an explosion of water...several neighbors were unsuccessful finding
the main shutoff valve or gaining access to it and apparantly everyone was
completely drenched that came into my house.
They were unable to shut off the water because comes to find out in the City of
Allen, the water company has LOCKS on the water valves outside...go figure...so
yesterday ended up cleaning up throwing out most of the food from the pantry,
etc.
Call into the insurance company told us no reason to file a claim because the
hose is our responsibility under proper maintenance....so everyone go home
tonight and check your hoses!!
That's your PSA of the day!!

Yesterday:
Had a long awaited and much needed day at the spa with a couple of
old friends. We met in a town was a midpoint for us all so it was
my first time at that spa. Decided since I was out of town I would
take advantage of some of my spa time by having my hair highlighted
and cut. I have been with the same colorist and stylist for almost
10 years and it was time for me to try something new. I'm very
pleased with the color and with the cut from the new stylist, so
pleased that I am willing to drive the 55 miles to have her do my
hair again. I also had a hot stone massage, a pedicure and a
manicure.
Today:
Stopped in the new local day spa to check out the product lines and
was pleased to discover that they carry Bumble and Bumble, Phyto and
a few other lines that we haven't had access to locally. I bought
BB Gentle shampoo and BB Deep Conditioner. Also bought a
replacement OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy.
Later I went to Target where I purchased a SK Cheek Sheer in
Sunkissed, a few gossipy magazines and the last pair of pink linen

brand new washing machine hose would not flood your house is to
manually close the valve after each use. Phooey. My point is that if
they know even a new one can pop, how can your insurance company put
the monkey on your back by saying you were negligent in re: to
maintenance?

my grant-writing but Nordies is only a mile from home and the sale started
and I promise to hole myself up with my computer and write all weekend
until I'm done. Really! I think so, anyway!
Went to Nordies because other kind AFers assured me that stuff that wasn't
in the catalog, which didn't interest me, would also be on sale. Sure
enough, I found stuff I wanted!
Two different Micheal Leu tops. Once is a purple waffle knit button-up
blouse-type sweatshirt with a square graphic painting attached to the left
chest area and and the other is a green, cropped waffle top (no buttons)
with a different painting centered on it. I love Michael Leu stuff because
it's fun and cozy.
Two M.MAC for Nordstrom summer dresses (not on sale). One short, turquoise
T-shirt dress with heiroglyphic type graphics placed a few inches apart
(birds, water, etc.) and the other long, black and with side-slits and
white fish graphics.
A pair of New Balance backless, slip-on 801 sneakers so I can jump into
them immediately when the puppy needs to pee.
Identical pair for my husband for similar reasons but the men's weren't on
sale while the women's were. What gives there, I ask you?!?
But the thrill purchase of the day, not on sale, is a rectangular, long
silk Pucci scarf. As with most Pucci, I can't describe the design except
to say that it's very definitely and unmistakably Pucci and that the main
colors are white, black, fuschia, turquoise and celadon. I love, love,
LOVE this scarf. I've always loved Pucci and while I am not a scarf person
(my Hermes scarves are all gifts from wealthy Japanese relatives, most
remaining in their boxes, unworn) this scarf screamed my name so loudly
that I'm surprised I didn't hear it in the parking garage before I entered
the store. Of this years purchases to date, this is my to-die-for
I-must-have-this I-will-love-it-always purchase.

3 pairs of sandals - one blue braided leather thongs, one white
leather flower slides, one brown leather skinny straps with a pattern
of coin-looking metal discs in the middle, which I am having a hard
time describing :-)
At TJ Maxx:
Whoa - clearance! Bought *another* pair of sandals, thongs with 3
strips of braided leather, 2 tan and 1 brown
4 belts - one navy, red and khaki d-ring ribbon belt, one navy RL
leather belt with silver buckle, one tan cotton casual belt, one black
leather Ellen Tracy belt with a hook and ring arrangement in the front
3 bags - one dark red RL leather bag and one blue 9 West with wide
strips of braided leather in a checkerboard pattern, and the *cutest*
evening bag which I have absolutely no use for - it's a round black
silk bag with a little pouf of maribou on the top of the clasp, by
Jessica McClintock
2 little zippy bags from Le Sportsac in bright stripes to continue the
vain attempt to organize the various cr*p in my purse
Gobs and oddles of shower gel, body lotion, room spray, candles, and
Barielle hand therapy and moisturizer gloves, all for practically
nothing.
Also bought assorted frivolous magazines and "What Not To Wear". I
haven't opened this book yet, and I just hope I don't see one of
today's purchases featured. :-P
It was a good day. :-)

Oh good--I'm glad you saw my post. I got an email from them alerting me to
the sale. If I hadn't I never would have scored the sandals. When I went
back to get the url this morning, they were sold out of everything except
a size 10.

I had a coupon for a free aromatherapy shampoo with the purchase of
another aromatherapy product at $9. or more. I got Ylang-Ylang Myrrh
shampoo and conditioner.
I also got the last 2 Green Clover and Aloe shower gels at 50% off. They
had everything else in this scent but had not received any showers gels
in several shipments thus the reduction. The sales lady said she didn't
know if the scent/shower gel was being discontinued or not.

not to wear flip flops -- ouch! I didn't mean to buy as much as I did, but
I'm fairly happy w/ my purchases.
At Nordstrom (an evil evil place):
- 3 wacoal bras on sale, super comfortable.
- a sports back le mystere bra on sale, but I need to exchange it for a
different size.
- Drama navy micropleated skirt that hits me mid shin, 1" rubber band waist,
sheer navy overlay with waves of small white dots on top of a solid navy
underskirt (both layers micropleated), micropleating fanned out at the
bottom 3-4". The micropleating means that the skirt conforms to all my
curves w/o being tight.
- Necessary Objects pleated grey pinstripe skirt that has a drop waist.
This will look great w/ my grey faux suede knee high boots.
- Wanted to get a Coach leather purse, but they only had the tan one -- I
wanted the black.
- Amazingly didn't buy any skincare or cosmetics, albeit this may change
when I go back tomorrow.
At Banana Republic:
- black v-neck long sleeve crochet top, on sale for $20.
At Old Navy:
- rust red ribbed knit tank dress with leather lace up at neckline. Good
for lazy days around the house for only $9.
- tons of bikini pieces, which is stupid b/c I never go swimming or to the
beach. Obviously I hope to spend lots of time in the hot tub. ;D

That sounds like my iBook! Of course, I'm sure it's an updated model. :) I
love watching DVDs on it when on trips, but I rarely do at home, as I watch
them on a regular tv screen.

I told TSMIM that I can't wait to get it and sit next to him in bed
watching DVDs with headphones on and ignoring him. LOL!
He'll probably do the same thing, though. I can see it now. I'll
watch something idiotic like Austin Powers and he'll watch his
favorites on his Vaio. Like a depressing Chinese movie starring Gong Li.

I got an iBook with maxed out RAM and an airport card for wireless

AF gets dull.
The bad news is that I'm getting it partly because I dropped my old one
and it appears dead. I'm going take it to a local shop to try to get the
data off of the hard drive. I hope it isn't obscenely expensive!

*Franco Sarto black leather loafers. . .need these for work. Met a really
knowledgable SA named Otis who taught me a lot about my feet. He basically
looked at my feet and said, "You have narrow feet and those shoes may not work
on you." Sure enough, the shoes were loose and he recommended getting inserts.
In fact, he broke out that measuring device and showed me what my foot size
actually was. He told me possible foot problems that I might encounter and
recommended certain brands that would suit my foot. *Very* enlightening. If
anyone is in the LA area, I highly recommend paying a visit to Otis at Bloomies
in Century City.
At Stuart Gavert salon in BH:
*highlights and a new cut. . . chopped about 6 inches off and now my hair is
just past shoulder length with layers and I've added bangs. Very happy with
how it turned out. My stylist Tori was worried that I'd "freak out" and kept
asking if it was okay to cut more. Kinda funny but probably very smart on her
part. I'm sure lots of people freak. ;)

Try sleeping on a spindle of blank DVDs. I did (the bed is behind the

Michelle, Otis' advice makes a lot of sense. One of my daughters has a
narrow foot and cannot wear
Franco Sartos at all. The other one has a medium/wide foot and FS's are her
favorite brand. A
knowledgeable shoe clerk can make all the difference when you are trying on
shoes.

Audrey, you are so right about a knowledgeable shoe clerk. He really stood out
as knowing his stuff. So many clerks concentrate on stock and basic footwear
knowledge gets passed over. Anyway, for those with narrow feet, Otis
recommends Cole Haan, Via Spiga, and a few other brands I'm blanking on ATM.
He said I should invest in inserts with arch support for all my wider shoes,
and I'm going to follow through with this. For wider feet, he recommends Bruno
Magli, Munro, some Donald Pliner styles, and New Balance for walking shoes.

I think (though I could be wrong) that the new iBooks only now come in that
pearly/metallic white. It's still very pretty, but I did like the
fruity-colored older iBooks. My husband has the aluminum PowerBook G4.
It's pretty slick.
