Hey, guys! O-M-G... I have been so busy, y'all, it's not even funny. It's been a full court press, head wrecking game of grown woman chess - not checkers - over here and I desperately needed a break. And guess who aptly deciphered what must have been thick S.O.S. smoke signals emanating from the overworked gears in my head? You guessed it: Birthday Boy (aka B-Boy; aka my Ace Boon Cum Laude!) So we hit the streets... and milked my reprieve, albeit a small one, for all that it was worth!
OK, so it's official - we canNOT resist going to Target at some point during our outings. I honestly think he's more addicted to the retail giant than I am, but I am more than happy to be his co-conspirator. Is it the sales? The red stickers indicating the sales? The long aisles of stuff on sale? I dunno. But we enjoy it. And while perusing said aisles I happened along some interesting finds...
Now you all know that I'm not a huge fan of e.l.f., but this Runway Ready Lip Palette does look good! It really does. I didn't buy it... but it did look good.
Have you guys seen this already? Sonia Kashuk's tribal motif brush set must have been out for awhile (or not sold as well as expected) because it is currently on clearance...
... along with its matching brush holder. I wasn't too impressed by the combo - looked a little cheap to me - so I kept it moving.
Oh, my goodness. When I saw this, I immediately cracked up. A dog shirt/costume that says "Rufferee"? Too cute. I'm not into dressing up my furbabies for Halloween, but this was so cute that I had to take a picture of it and share!
And then we got serious. B-Boy and I moseyed into a couple of furniture stores and got swept away by the innovative displays as well as the plush textures and tones that filled the showrooms.
I absolutely LOVE this bedding ensemble! From the headboard to the comforter to the fur throw to the mirrored tray... my eyes filled with big red hearts as I let my mind fill to the brim with wild thoughts of taking the entire display home with me fully intact.
I do love color, but I kept finding myself being drawn in by the chic simplicity of the vast gray and silver tones that were in abundance in the store.
And so it has begun. And it seems to begin earlier and earlier every year. It's only October, we haven't even had a whiff of the traditional Thanksgiving turkey and stores already have their Christmas wares setup for pre-holiday consumption. Wow...
Twinsies!! Shhh... don't tell him I said that. But we were wearing the same style of sneakers - white leather Converses - and I just couldn't resist. If he knew, he would roll his eyes. But that's OK. What he doesn't know won't hurt him... or irritate him, for that matter! #WINNING! #TWINNING!
So there you have it! And now I'm back to the grind, but I'm so happy for the break from all the hectic-ness. I know that's not a word, but it's OK. We're all friends here and you guys get the gist of what I'm saying. I needed a day of play... and was quite elated that it came with a less than reluctant playdate! #YAYME
