Shopping for 10' Palm Trees in heels & silk is probably not the best idea but I did it anyway

* Vintage Levi's cuffed with Hem Gems! ...last seen here

* My affordable version of the Van Cleef Alhambra necklace from Etsy shop NY Light Metals ...seen here last 4th of July weekend
* Louis Vuitton Speedy {medium}
* Tom Ford "anouk" cat eye sunglasses


Friday afternoon on the way home from the gallery I stopped at OSh hoping to find some palms for our backyard pool area for our 4th BBQ. There's nothing like an event or party that really motivates me to finish projects and tidy up a bit {I also finally built our second set of 6'x6' Expedit bookcase from Ikea Friday night that have been sitting in our game room for over a month ...the boxes being used as a bench}. The thought of going home to change first did cross my mind but I knew I would never make it back out of the house had I gone home. So, off to OSh I went {above shots taken on the side of OSH} ...and within minutes became overly excited at the king palms on sale for $9.89 each! I grabbed 5 and since they were light enough to pick up, was able to single handedly place them in a cart. But they were so tall getting them through the door was an entirely different story. By the time I was done, I was pushing two carts around waiting for my mom to show up with a truck large enough to get them home.

And since the garden section was rather quiet ...I was able to set up my camera and snap a few action shots ...lol. I'll show you the palms in my 4th/backyard post coming soon ...though I'm moving rather slowly today so it could be awhile ;) Hope you all had a wonderful 4th and get the day off today!

知道他有了外遇
面對他的低聲下氣妳冷嘲熱諷、無理取鬧
妳瘋狂似的大吵大鬧
甚至到他的公司去亂、向他的親友抱怨、向鄰居們哭訴…
妳把他的外遇鬧的人盡皆知
最後,妳把他的愧疚消耗殆盡…
最後,妳把他想要回頭的念頭打消…
最後,妳自己把他推向外遇的第三者身邊…

就像許多外遇故事一樣
男人有了外遇想要離婚,但是女人死不放手
所以他藉故發揮、所以她不甘示弱
他總是說這樣不可理喻的女人俗不可耐才讓他想要離婚
她總是說這樣背棄婚姻的男人她絕對不會離婚讓他們好過

記憶中我從沒有過快樂的童年、幸福的家庭
父親在家的時候總是爭執不斷
父親離家的時候母親總是數落不斷

我總是想,為什麼不離婚
這樣的婚姻意義何在?

母親認為離婚就是輸了
但是她不知道,自己身陷在漩渦中無法掙脫...

I'm new here, but I'm lovin your style! The way you made the blazer and jeans look feminine is sexy--I'll have to try the look out for myself. And thanks for pointing me to IKEA because organizing my crap is a task that's LONG OVERDUE.

Maegs, keep an extra pair of fit-flops in your drawer or cabinet at work - then when you get the jones to go shopping, just switch the heels for the flops. Believe me, I have an entire shoe store here at work in my filing cabinet. LOL I used to laugh at that 80s song "Nobody Walks In L.A." until I wound up there on a business trip aeons ago, with my feet swelling in 4 inch stilettos just from the one block walk from hotel to office. I went to Nordstroms that night and bought flats and wore them the entire time I was out there. I should buy stock in moleskin...do not own a pair of shoes that I have not doctored with it in some way. Great outfit, but the "black on black" still my fave for this month.
