Lovely

I saw this ad for some Dior perfume in a magazine and had to take a picture because I love everything about it. The colors! The way her legs are dangling over the city! The perfect roundness of those balloons! It's so whimsical, it's just perfect.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE leaves turning colors. Here are some beautiful examples I've found in the Seattle area.

The Most Troublesome of Holidays

I never ever know what to be for Halloween. This year proves to be as difficult as all the others, with no satisfactory costumes in sight.

As cliche as it is, I've been toying with the idea of the 50s. I was never a poodle-skirter in elementary school, when most people do it, and I feel I've missed out on one of the girliest costumes around. But I have the feeling that's why only girls should do it, not 20-somethings such as myself. But I really love cat-eye glasses.


I was also trying to decide if there's a way for a girl to look cool as a greaser...I think there's a high probability of looking like a dyke .

So who knows, I'll probably end up being a picnic table or something. Also, I love this lady.


I'M OPEN TO IDEAS! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE?

I'm Sad

It's upsetting to me that this man could ever possibly be president.


The fact that this woman could be president, even vice president, is offensive. Beyond offensive.


But most of all, in retrospect, I'm upset that either of these candidates beat out the man that's been president for the last 8 years. CRAZAAAAAAAAY!


Actually, I do NOT think Sarah Palin could be better than him.

It's Puzzling!

Liv and I got a puzzle last Saturday, which was rainy and seemed lazy. We thought a puzzle would be a good activity for such a day. It's called "Wildneress Harmony" and it's lovely. Liv and I worked for a while on Saturday, but the real work came on Sunday when we spent a good 6 hours on it. We spent another 4 or so on Monday night. We're still not done. This is after a bit of progress that took a suprisingly long time.

This is near the end point. We're a bit further along now; a big chunk of sky has been done. Liv is a lot better at puzzling than I am. We're going to try to find a tropical one next.

And the More Diminutive Booties!

I like booties. When they first came back en vogue whenever that was -- a year ago, two? -- I wasn't really into them. But they've grown on me, and I find myself wanting them. I'm not a bottie type of girl...can I make them work? They might be too urban.

Hear ye, hear ye! Boots!

I want boots for fall. Unfortunately, I've managed to get into a jeans and t-shirt rut and would have to update my entire wardrobe to accomadate some savvy boots. I'm up to that challenge though. Fall always makes me want to dress nice.
There's obviously a theme here. I want brown. And I want basic.
