I Got My Hunter Boots!

nicóle — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:33:29 +0000

Not long ago I wrote a post about my vision board. On my vision board was a picture of a pair of Hunter Wellington Boots, that I have been drooling over for about two years. I put them on my vision board towards the end of January. Last month I auctioned off about three pairs [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

nicóle — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:33:58 +0000

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you have a great one!

I thought today, I’d share with you some of my favorite Irish quotes…

Saint Patrick was a gentleman Who through strategy and stealth Drove all the snakes from Ireland Here’s a drinkee to his health! But not too many drinkees Lest we [...]

Bare Escentuals Tutorials Smoky Eye Kit Review and Giveaway

nicóle — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:06:33 +0000

I love makeup. I especially love trying new and innovative products that make looking good easy and really simplify things. Makeup should never look caked on, heavy, or otherwise make you look like you’re about to perform under the “big top”! Makeup should enhance your beauty not cover it up, which is why when I [...]

Toddler Fashion

Check out Evan, he donned this “arm shield” all on his own.

It is of course one of his baby legs-I think he fished it out of the dirty laundry. Baby legs can be worn of the arms, but I’ve never put one on him, so I thought it cute that he did. He often likes [...]

Weekend, A Few Faeries, and The Ides of March

nicóle — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:58:55 +0000

Last week was a crazy one for me. Not because anything superbly awesome, or out of the ordinary occurred, more because one by one, we were all under the weather at some point. Although today is rainy and glum outside– we are all feeling well which is superbly wonderful! As a bonus, because it’s been [...]

A Party at Both Ends!

nicóle — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:40:01 +0000

This morning at approximately 6:00 a.m. Evan woke up crying. Well…prior to the crying was the coughing. I heard him start coughing as I, being a Mom no longer have the ability to fall into a deep dead-to-the-world sleep. The crying began and a few moments later.

When I realized he wouldn’t be able to soothe [...]

Hello Spring, I’ve Missed You.

nicóle — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:44:38 +0000

Today is Thursday. Thursdays are our garbage day. Luckily the garbage collectors come early to remove the week’s refuse and I don’t have to look at my garbage can sitting in the street all day long. I usually pull it back to it’s spot in our back yard while Evan naps. Today was a beautiful [...]

Blue October “Should Be Loved” Video

nicóle — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:29:51 +0000

I love Blue October — if you’ve been around for a while, this comes as no surprise. They’ve just released a new video for “Should Be Loved”.

Enjoy!

I kept looking for a spot from their Baltimore show (the one I was at)…I guess it didn’t make the cut, but it was cool to be there none-the-less.

All [...]

How to Make Distressed Jeans

nicóle — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:25:33 +0000

In fashion certain things are timeless like a really nice pair of jeans. I can think of nothing more comfortable than an old beloved pair of denim jeans. It just so happens that distressed denim is rather fashionable these days. If you were like me and lacking that old pair of jeans, but long [...]

Ruffles

nicóle — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:59:19 +0000

I’m sorta in love with ruffles these days. It’s a love that’s been growing. A slow burn really, ever since I found this shirt on clearance at Target last summer.

That’s not to say that I didn’t always fancy a happy ruffle, but when you’re overweight, ruffles aren’t something you can wear very easily. I am [...]

Oscar Party!

nicóle — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:56:39 +0000

This may sound crazy to you, but I had NO idea that the Oscars are being held today. None. I also wondered that I can’t be the only person. Then I got to thinking…about the person who wants to throw together a quick Oscar Party but has no idea where to begin on such short [...]

Two More Babies, Uh huh?

nicóle — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:21:14 +0000

Last Sunday, during our hour long drive to Ikea, my husband brought up babies-as in our future babies. Yes that is baby with an “s” at the end, as in more-than-one. Typically on long drives my husband and I usually entertain ourselves by talking politics, being goofy, singing badly along with the radio, or encouraging [...]

The Pink Chandelier Made Momdot’s Top 100 Mom Bloggers!

nicóle — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:37:55 +0000

Never, ever, not-in-a-million years did I expect this.

Just a little while ago I was reading Trisha Haas’ list, “Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2009″, reading and clicking, when to my utter astonishment I saw this:

I honestly did not believe my eyes at first.

I was shocked, surprised, elated, [...]

Lost Things

nicóle — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:51:10 +0000

I love pretty things.

I love old things.

I love going to flea markets and garage sales treasure hunting for pretty things that are old. I love wondering about where these pieces have been. Who loved them. Who lost them.

I love this short film too. Happened upon it serendipitously. (You know my history with that word.)

I also [...]

Eden Fantasys Gift Card Giveaway

nicóle — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:03:16 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of this winter. Spring can’t come soon enough, and since the official start of spring is right around the corner I thought I’d heat things up with an Eden Fantasys, “all you need is love”, gift card give-away.

Today on The View, Robert Pattinson appeared with his co-star Emilie de Ravin (Claire on Lost) in Remember Me, to chat up the film which is scheduled to be released on March 12, 2010. Throughout the interview he seemed his usual shy and befuddled self as he spoke about wardrobe issues (or the lack there [...]

Bridesmaid. That’s Me!

nicóle — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:32:44 +0000

Just got an amazing gift from my best friend Michelle who is getting married in 390 days and who has asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, next March. Since we couldn’t be together on Saturday for her engagement party she UPS’d me her gift. I decided to record myself opening it so [...]
