I slept like a rock last night. And it took a rockstar to get me out of bed this morning. A rockstar named Jared Leto from 30 seconds to Mars. He is on the cover of Vanity Fair this month. He is also the ringtone of my alarm.
I left the warmth of my heating blanket to make breakfast for the kids and get ready for the day. The only reason I didn't get back into bed was that I turned off my heating blanket and it was cold. I am a very cold person, my fingers and toes are always freezing. Just ask my husband.
SHOPPING CORNER
COSTUME CHANGE
After my run to Starbucks and to get my groceries for dinner tonight, I came home and finally got dressed for the day.
Brown leggings with a leather quilted detail running down the sides (Jessica Simpson) were my start. An animal print tunic (Massimo) and gold sequined shrug (found at the Atlanta airport) were my layering pieces on top. I wore a thin gold belt over my tunic.
Black, suede, wedge booties replaced the DJ boots.
Edited to add: Damn, even my clothes look fat in these pics.
THE WEATHER REPORT
Where I wish I were...
THE MAKE-UP COUNTER
I went to the store with brows, lashes and gloss. My skin is so light that I feel naked without color. When I take my face off I hear it from my son. "Mom, why do you look so different?" Me, "Is different bad?" Him, a deafening silence... Thanks.
When I am six inches shorter and have a natural face, people don't recognize me. This is not a good thing. I came into my favorite SuperTarget one morning, flat footed, when my friend and daily reader Raquel said "Is everything ok? You look different." After thinking about it for a minute she said, "Oh, I know what it is. You are short!" Realizing that she was right, I took off out of there before anyone else noticed. I'm 5'7 and she only sees me in heels!!! Short indeed. Lol.
Not wanting "that naked look" I used Benefit's RSVP for my base and Chanel's Quadra Eye Shadow Nymphea for color.
JEWELRY DARLING
Black and gold went with my look for the day. All by Target. All were on clearance for nada. I love a chandelier earring.
