I finally got around to really styling my office bookshelf. It formerly looked like so--just a complete jumble of random books and other stuff. I'm definitely a sentimental person and tend to hold on to things way too long, but this was ridiculous and very cluttered. As it is one of the first things you see when you come in our house, I wanted the bookshelf to be functional, but also pretty so I gathered up the silver, blue and white items I had in our house and put them all together. The only exception are the pink lizard frames on the left second shelf. Because, you have to have something pink in a "girl" office, right?
Against all better judgement I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I realize I am probably the last woman on earth to read it, but whatever. So far I think it's...interesting. Literary gold it is not...it makes Twilight look like Tolstoy, but I'm game to continue at least until the end of the first book.
You know I love a lip gloss, really of any stripe, but Maybelline Baby Lips may be one at the top of my list. It's super moisturizing and flavored but not overly so and it has an SPF.. This is the peach one, apparently the cherry flavor sells out everywhere, including my Target. It's no Sugar lip gloss, but it's a fun change (and way cheaper).
Okay, how cute is this little guy? My husband still hasn't noticed his appearance in our den and I think he'll probably banish him to the guest room when he does, but I think he's awesome. A pirate monkey?!? I mean, that's so funny, right? I think I'll put flowers in his tiny little vase hat. Aww!
I think I'm going to start collecting hotel room keys. I love a good collection, but it has to be small. I have no display room for the 100s of Madame Alexander dolls I would like to collect a la Candy Spelling. So far all I have are these from the Hotel Giraffe where I've stayed a few time in NYC and the below awesome pimp one from the Encore in Las Vegas (can you see the name printed on it?!), but give me time. Isn't that the mark of a good collection? Patience.
And, my craft projects!!! I recently completed my first big girl cross stitch sampler. It was a challenge, but also so fun.
I also did a set of coasters for my friend Allison with her wedding monogram. I made these for my girlfriends for Christmas a few years ago and I was so flattered she would ask for updated ones!
