Ah! I'm horrible! blogs hate me, I just know it. Maybe that's why I can never continue with one O_O
K, so a long awaited post, and I choose to talk about many things...first off, if you've never visited the site gofugyourself.com you have to. You owe it to yourself. It's amazing. 'nuff said.

I've recently fallen in love with etsy.com. It helped me discover my love of owls! I'm so serious. Here are a few of the amazing things I found: (er, up above. the image uploading thing is messing this all up. )

Sweetest Spring Shoes

2008-04-08T16:22:00.004-04:00

Shiny mint green slipper by Georgiana Goodman, 340$

Vibrant satin flats from Old Navy come in many different patterns for only 11$
I love the color of these blue flats from Forever21, about $12
Here's a super cute pair of Keds, covered in pink flamingo's, for only 39$!

I just got the latest J.Crew catalogue, and here's my latest obsession!

Bliss Big Bar, 18$
It's blue! And it's blue, and chunky, and it's blue! :)

Philosophy Big Mouth lipgloss, $22 each
I always like the promise a lip-plumping gloss holds!
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, $36
This sounds like something worth trying. It promises to "smooth and perfect skin, inhibit the distribution of collagen," and "fill in fine lines for a flawless finish."
Stila All Over Glow in Pink, 28$
What more can I say? The uber cute compact speaks for itself.

Smashbox O-Glow Cheek Color, 26$
This looks so professional!
Dior Vervis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer, $19
I'm simply dying for this nail polish. Navy blue is my new color :D
Too Faced Beauty Lip Balm, 11$
Because I just can't get enough lip balms and glosses.

PEACOCK earrings!

2008-03-29T12:33:00.004-04:00

Alright, so maybe I'm sort of coveting these earrings. I'm going to (hopefully) buy the middle ones, from ebay. They're 100% real and about $7.00 The left pair is from forever21 for $5.00, final sale. The right pair is from Fredflare, and they are 14 dollars. But the 21 pair is faux and the ff pair is real. Which would personally really bug me. I mean, what's the point of even having them if they aren't real? And it's not as though it hurts the peacock to get the feather!
Anyways, I'm totally buying the ebay ones.

But I'll find something, sometime, soon, hopefully.
