Michael Stars Asymmetry Clutch in Camo found, via here.

I spotted this and felt my heart racing. To me it makes a statement without being over done. It would look so good with jeans, and heels. Or even a maxi dress, and espadrilles. I haven't ordered her yet, but she may be coming home to Mama soon. Michael Stars did a great job on this one.

It’s Friday

Happy Friday Loves.

I have been busy painting this (see below) color in the house for the last 3 days. Its Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore, and I am on my 7th gallon.

Not to mention a skating party for this kid this weekend. Plus he has a basketball tournament as well. So I am tired, busy, and will get back to posting Monday. I hope your weekend is great. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway that is being sponsored by Tracy of Stella & Dot. It’s a goooood one.

You see that confused look on my face? Wish me luck for all I am going to tackle. I am sure I will look like this again, and even in my sleep.

Snoops Closet

I love anything boyfriend fit. I bought these shorts from The Gap but in the MENS sections. They are comfy, and they look good to me. I like mixing the best of both feminine, and masculine. I tied in the fab new wedges from Tar(jay), which let me add are great. Very comfy, and stylish. I picked up the last brown in my size, and I am sure these will sell out fast. There was a lady looking at them, as I trying on the black pair. She picked up my 7 1/2, and I was thinking “Please put those down, they are the last pair”…and she did. Thank Goodness, she picked up the wrong size.

Taped Just Right

During the makeover of the bedroom we used ScotchBlues newest product. The ScotchBlue Painters Tape with Edge Lock by far has been the best tape I have used in a painting project. So much so, I have decided to try stripes just for the heck of it. Well I love stripes, but knowing the tape actually works gives me even more reason to go for it. I experienced no bleeding at all. Paint bleeding through painters tape has always been a huge issue for me in the past. No more. A big thank you to ScotchBlue for being patient with me. They wanted to giveaway some tape to you guys since OCTOBER, but I could never get the paint issue resolved. I wanted to make sure it worked perfectly before I recommended it to you. So again thanks SCOTCHBLUE.

This also was my first time ever using this brush. I have seen it many times, but never thought to buy it. This brush was the best brush ever. I will never use another from this point on. My issue has always been separating the ceiling from the wall. For once I was able to paint a straight line free hand.
