The Autumn Bee

Fighting autumn is pointless in the territory where the bullying weather reigns in order to lure you out with sun, only to surprise you with heavy dropped rain half way through your walk towards a given destination. Once you manage to happily ensure an umbrella has been thought to be brought along, it does not rain. In fact, the sky happens to turn blue. Surely, this is no longer teasing but a case to report to bullystoppers.com? In fact, I have not needed to use my umbrella ONCE this week. Every time I left when the sky was blue, the rain surprised me. And every time I brought an umbrella with me "just in case and because there are a few gray clouds" it served merely as a handy bulky item which we all love to carry around.

So since I cannot be at where summer's at
I surely shall try to be-at autumn
By bee-ing

Reclaiming fashion from the Lords of Germ

I was miserable this morning, and my outfit was equally devoted to the miserability including mismatched socks, Brazilian Capoeira tracksuit bottoms (that's right - ME!) and a massive gray Kenar jacket, a knitted hat and cuddly cashmere scarf. I truly felt I had surrendered my fashion sense to the lords of germ (to most parts) until I dragged my lazy body to the fridge and noticed I had no food. Faced with the dread of having to venture outside in this first of many cold, rainy London days, there was only one thing I could do... Fight the germs with a full frontal attack on their fashion sense stealing antics! Here's what happened, I hope you agree I've reclaimed my fashion sense.

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS...

Working in Towson this evening...

well really I'm browsing the internet for shoes and catching up on/watching The Real Housewives of New York City

...in between customers of course. :)

Well in the midst of my shoe searching, housewife watching, and customer serving I received a picture message from the wonderful Mr.A... it went a little something like this:

He's awesome... and knows me so well!

Ladies and Germs... May I introduce you to the Banana Republic Ramona Heel. Available in size 11 (THANK YOU JESUS!), unfortunately NOT on sale ($102.00--eek!), BUT seemingly just the heel that I have been looking for.

To wait for a sale or buy retail...
my credit card knows the real answer to that question.

Ahem (as I blog)... Mr.A just texted me another pair...

He might have just lost some points...

Don't get me wrong, other than the gap in the wedge, these are kinda cute Guess heels. Except for the thingies on the side. I don't like those do-dads holding the leather on.

Haha.
