High Heel Holly Tells All: A ponytail day

I would love to write that 6 a.m. is a peaceful time of thought and reflection. That the house is quiet and all I can hear are the tippy tappy feet of my angel shorkie. But that would be a complete and total lie. What I wouldn't give to make mornings my bitch.

My husband is a morning person. He rises and SHINES. While I can barely get my motor started.

I'm not sure if you understand exactly what I'm talking about. Are you a morning person?

Take this morning for example. At 6, I woke up to get my husband off to the airport. We had a cup of coffee together. It was nice. Now it's 6:45 and I get the pleasure and privilege of cleaning up my son's dog, Sparky's puke all over the upstairs. My son came downstairs to tell me about it and he puked on my entryway rug. AWESOME.

How did your lovely day get started?

Now I have to wait until a decent hour to cancel an appointment, and see if puking Sparky can get into the vet.

My hair is going to finish last in the game of getting ready today. It's going to be a ponytail day.

SHOPPING CORNER

I have to lift this beast up into my Hummer because he won't jump. In turn he gets black hair all over me and cries in the back seat. He's such a baby. So I'm going to wear black today. Black like Johnny Cash. Black because I am in mourning of my morning.

Who am I kidding? I. LOVE. BLACK. It's my favorite color. I know black is not technically a color. But I don't discriminate, therefore black will remain my fave.

I'll start today with black leggings. I like variety so I'll go with a pair that have a leathery sheen. Add to that a black silk tunic (Massimo), dark grey boyfriend sweater (Converse) and my black Jessica's to keep my legs and toes warm. For a little color I will wear a baby pink and black silk Chanel scarf.

It's 27 degrees outside so I will wear my fur (Dennis Basso).

THE WEATHER REPORT

It's still cold. I am not built for this. I can hear Jamaica calling my name...

THE MAKE-UP COUNTER

Benefit's RSVP is my base and highlight under my brow. It is a little pinker than Bikini-Tini and goes with my scarf. NARS Mekong in my crease. ELF brown gel liner on top of my upper lashes. Borghese mascara, 3 coats. Benefit's Dallas is always my blush. My sister was a make-up artist for Chanel and Benefit. She taught me how to apply my face properly. I thank her silently every morning. Thank you Heather. Shout out! Now she owns:
