Whether it be heels or ballet slippers, slipping on your shoes while seated has to be one of the most effortlessly beautiful and sexy poses to be caught in.

You can buy them and do it yourself, here. {The munchkin is already dreaming of it.} And, before you freak out, they are biodegradable and flame retardant.

Have a beautiful day!!!

Well, at least I’d like to live like that glam for a day. Wait, who am I kidding, sometimes I come close, minus the juggling of 3 men. {I do have four fur throws in my bedroom!} Seriously now, I adore Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. The cocktail party, the clothes, Delysia’s flat, Lee Pace’s character {swoon}, the music, all that fur and gold leafing…did I mention Lee Pace’s character is hot? I’m such a sucker for a sweet and tough guy. I’m totally done for if he doesn’t mind getting in a fight when called for. Ok, I’m off topic here. My two favorite things from the movie, which I shall share here, are the scene where they sing “If I didn’t care” and the decor.


How I adore this song! Unfortunately, I could not find the video online without Chinese subtitles, since the intellectual property police probably threatened everyone who’d ever even thought of putting it up.

I love planning outings and parties. If you let my imagination run wild, I’ll come up with all sorts of ways to entertain. However, I must admit, this is not something that had occurred to me yet. {Now that I’ve seen it, I’ll just to do it.}

These lucky party guests were surprised with a scavenger hunt that ended with cupcakes and a color fight. Screw work, let’s go do that instead. Thinking of having a color fight, too? You can find the Holi Gulal colors online or at your local Indian store. If you’re really crafty, you can make your own natural powders from here. {Click on colors for instructions.}

Oh, almost forgot. There’s another color fight at the end of this Regina Spector video.

These are so ethereal and haunting. The woman in the photo is the goddess of the moon, Selene. Throughout the series of seven images, she waxes and wanes through the phases of the moon, representing the past and the present.

I’d like to spend a quiet day

in a pretty dress

twirling and dancing

swinging up high


playing pretend

and daydreaming in the flowers like I did when I was a little girl.
