Geometric

By on July 20, 2011

There are days when I put on a pair of shoes and think, “Well, I don’t have to walk too much in them today…I’ll be fine.”  These are those kinds of shoes.  I did have to make a run to Costco over lunch, so I threw a pair of black sandals in my car.  I’m […]

Jewelry parties

By on July 12, 2011

I don’t know about you, but jewelry parties seem to be the way suburban mom’s get together.  That or a plethora of other parties (Norwax, Pampered Chef, CAbi, etc.).  It seems like I will get invited to a ton of parties all at once, and expensive costume jewelry is not what I generally like to […]
