Libertine for Target

I love Target. This dress, oh well Target calls it a tunic, is so 1980's. So wonderful. If you go over to http://www.whatiwore.tumblr.com, she is wearing it with a blue cardigan, and a jean jacket, and it looks amazing. Oh, and her blog is great too. So feel the 80's and get this dress/tunic. Online only. But worth it.

Elizabeth Taylor Icon

What a stylish lady. She will be missed. Oh, and she loved her jewelry, the photo below is from her book about her jewelry. I love the pearls as a kind of mask, what a fun shot.

Pear shape diamonds in this kind of setting became known as the Burton-Taylor Diamonds. Just beautiful.
Ahhhhhh.

Relaxing Blue - Tiffany Box Blue

This room was designed by Kathryn Chaplow, and all I can say is ahhhhhhh. I love the relaxing blue and white. Kind of looks like Tiffany Box Blue. Yum. I would love it even without the canopy post bed. Just a regular bed would be equally wonderful.

So fresh for spring. Paint is cheap girls.

Jean Jackets

Jean Jackets. What a great transition into spring. If you need one, check your local Goodwill, I have spotted several, or check Old Navy, fun jacket to have. Love it with black and with dresses.

What's your take on jean jackets?

Happy Friday.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips

Update: Chipped, and nicked at dinner. Oh, well back to my OPI.



I purchased these at my local Walgreens for $9.99 plus tax, to give them a try. Says they last up to 10 days. I need that. Yes, I have short nails, oh well.
So, instructions were really easy to follow, everything you need is in box, except some nail polish remover to clean your nails. But, I had that. Followed the instructions, I have short nails, so I used one strip on 2 nails, in other words, left pinky, and right pinky, each got the same strip. So, I have a whole group of unopened strips to go. Now that would make it $5 per mani. Now that would be a good deal, if it lasts. It took me about 35 - 40 minutes to apply, time may improve with practice. You do have to be careful with the orangewood, cuticle stick as you can tear the polish, this was hardest around the cuticle area, but again, better over time. I am happy with the results, typing away with them now. Now, if they will only last.
The downside, is they don't have a ton of colors, could be my Walgreens, but I settled on this Champagne color, called 270, Raise a Glass, a nice neutral metallic color.
Anyone else have any luck with these?

Dianne Von Furstenberg's Bookshelves

Every house needs great bookshelves. I love these in Dianne Von Furstenberg's home. The home and the bookshelves are absolutely beautiful.

I am sorry, I don't know where these pics are from. Vogue, I think?


Who doesn't love a ladder too?
