Your mind's pulling tricks now, the show is over so take a bow..

Every girl needs a pair of foldable flats that can fit into her handbag.. especially when you are a barefoot walking beach bum like me. On my last trip to the city, I received a little package in the mail, thank you Charmaine Palermo! I wasn't sure about the color at first, as it seems I have become somewhat of a color snob lately in my purchases, but after a few outfit changes, I realized it was a pretty versatile piece to have in my closet, and its comfortable beyond measure. These photos were taken on a day when I was feeling brave enough for my own version of color-blocking, and when I needed to wear my most balloon-like dress in order to fit all the food my girl Erica was feeding us with on her cooking show that day. More photos of that in the next post!

In other news, everything else sucks right now. It seems no matter what I do, December just can't be my month. I feel homesick to the Nth degree, I do more worrying than sleeping, and the stress makes me physically sick. Its exhausting. I wish I could teleport myself back home for a couple of weeks.. nothing like Momma's cooking to ease the heavy soul. For now I will settle for counting the days until my boy gets here.. at least he has offered to share his Mom with me. There's the silver lining..

Tic toc tic toc, December, go away!
