SHOES!
Aren’t these adorable?! Silly, but adorable. I love them. They’re going to be my go-to shoes this Spring and Summer – which, hopefully, gives me ample time to learn to walk in them without wobbling. 
Shouldn’t be too difficult, as they’re wedges, not heels. So cute, though! And the strawberry bling ornaments on the side?! CUUUUUUUUTE! They’re the Oriento Sun So by Irregular Choice. And I think this is the harbinger of a torrid love affair with Irregular Choice and Poetic Licence shoes. Also, I can’t wait to start sewing up cute skirts to wear with them.
Ugh, and the pagoda carved into the heels just kills me! LOVE IT!
Swatch Sunday, 1/29/12: Nerd Lacquer’s Don’t Blink
Just gorgeous. These pictures don’t exactly do it justice. I couldn’t stop looking at my nails (which…is maybe appropriate, given the name).

Nerd Lacquer’s etsy store, which seems to have been slammed with orders. And no surprise – their polishes are lovely.
DINNERS!
I have been cooking like a mug. Well, for our household, anyway. (Greg pretty much does all the cooking and dishes, since I hate dishes. I’ve been trying to up my game on the dinner-making front, though; chip in a little more.) Here are some dishes I’ve made lately:
Mushroom Stroganoff (for us and Jay and Lara)
Mushrooms Berkeley (twice in two weeks – once for just us, once for us and Jay and Lara)
Asparagus Pie (for us – next time I will make the béchamel sauce more flavorful, less mild; but it was my first time, and delicious enough)
FOTD: The Lumos Plum (1/11/12)
Now that I think about it – isn’t that weird glowing fruit from True Blood called a lumos fruit?
Anyway, I am SUPER BEHIND in editing pictures, making posts, posting videos for the Makeup Heroes, and ESPECIALLY commenting on blogs – as I’m sure y’all have noticed. Mea culpa. Right on getting that fixed.

Sowwy :(
I’m feeling better, but I got sucked into the world of Irregular Choice/Poetic Licence shoes today. And might have bought myself a pair to wear in Spring/Summer. Which means I REALLY need to up my style-game. Um, for Spring/Summer. It’s too cold lately to really care about being cute, especially when it’s hiding under a bajillion layers. Boo. I’m real cute at home, though. But…you’ll just have to take my word for it, I guess.
I got packages to pack, shit to knit, and I need to START SEWING LIKE WHOA so I can wear those serious shoes with SERIOUS OUTFITS in a few months. Holy moley, what have I gotten myself into.
