i could easily spend $500 in the country connection

11/8/2011 10:59:49 AM

hahah yeah I have never been there - thought it might be worth a shot.

11/8/2011 11:03:45 AM

ok so I hit up forever21.com and this was the first thing that popped out at me. I know you like to have fun with your stuff, but still keep it classic. So I think this top does that (AND it shows off your tits and arms )
http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=top_dressy&ProductID=2005756979&VariantID=


OR something like this which is UBER simple, but can be whatever you make it when you add jewelry
http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=top_camis_tanks&ProductID=2081259131&VariantID=



Then you can throw a fun jacket over it when it's cold at night

With a simple yet fun long necklace

11/9/2011 12:34:48 PM

See I'd even go for a more motorcycle style with the top

Ladies! I'm hoping you can help me with a work dilemma.

We have a dinner party coming up and I'm in charge of coordinating it. Right now I have no centerpiece planned, but it looks like I managed to reign in the budget enough to be able to afford some.

I found these at Pier 1 the other day that I really like but they're too expensive for what I need.



http://www.pier1.com/Catalog/CandlesFragrance/tabid/976/CategoryId/105/ProductId/33872/ProductName/Harvest-Candle-Ring-Set/Default.aspx

Does anyone know of something similar on clearance right now that is under $10?

11/9/2011 1:34:35 PM

have you gone by Michaels? I bet you could put something together with their silk flowers/votives


In my family for our holiday centerpieces, we bake a cornucopia pastry, it's not too hard to do the real thing, and put seasonal stuff next to it and then leaves from outside (inspect for ickies)

here's betty crocker's recipe http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/pastry-cornucopia/aef7c9a1-d0a7-45ec-a42b-dd24a4c143bc it's just about the same as we do, plus, we also wrap it up real well and use it for next year, again , but you seriously can't tell. Looks good and you can get multiple uses, and it's cheap to do and put together.

(the cornucopia idea probably doesn't work with a work party, but I just wanted to post it about it.)

11/9/2011 1:49:05 PM

Yup you could totally do that by yourself at Michale's. Get a hot clue gun, a candle and hit up their flower section.

11/9/2011 1:56:38 PM

Yeah I thought about going to Michael's and seeing what they have left of their fall flowers but honestly I don't know how much time I want to commit to this project since it's for work. I'd rather pick something up already made

11/9/2011 2:07:44 PM

Well I wish I was in NC then I'd make a killing off you even selling those at $10

11/9/2011 2:08:46 PM

haha as long as you could accept Visa and give me a receipt yes you could.

11/9/2011 2:09:36 PM

Try Carolina Pottery

In the old Sam's Club off Harrison Ave

11/9/2011 2:13:54 PM

Um, what ever happened to cuteseygirl.com??? Anyone know where the product line ended up?? Any of that stuff/shoes/clothes in any stores?

11/9/2011 2:16:01 PM

Ooh I'll check that out on my way home. Thanks!

11/9/2011 2:16:26 PM

holy shit really?

they sell fall garland and its even on sale/clearance at the craft stores

this is way easy to do on your own and will take maybe 5 minutes of your time

11/9/2011 2:21:30 PM

I think you can get the majority of that stuff at Dollar Tree as well if you want to be REALLY cheap. haha

11/9/2011 2:36:18 PM

My pinterest is filled with stupid wedding crap. How did this happen.

11/9/2011 3:49:39 PM

pinterest is always screwing around on me. like yesterday it wouldn't accept my pins and then today it would let me pin

11/9/2011 3:53:35 PM

I wanted to search for christmas decorations, but it won't let me.

11/9/2011 3:55:15 PM

I get pissed when that 404 page comes up....

11/9/2011 3:56:42 PM

i really dont know if I'm doing the whole pinterst thing correctly. I've just been pinning things that I want to buy but can afford right now hoping that when I can I'll remember I pinned it and will go buy it lol...

11/9/2011 4:04:17 PM

lol, yeah I'm doing the same thing with clothes. Now I'm looking for decoration ideas for xmas, since we have 0 decorations atm.

Naw went there yesterday and fall might as well not exist. It's all Christmas.

Yeah except if I buy craft supplies on my procurement card, then I get hassled endlessly by accounting on my I'm using department funds on craft supplies and why didn't I just buy something from a preferred vendor blah blah blah. When I made cupcakes for a function rather than just ordering a cake from a supermarket, even though cupcakes were cheaper, I had to spend weeks justifying the purchase. It's seriously just easier for me to buy something like this rather than make it.

11/9/2011 6:03:48 PM

ya know...all that stuff you just said doesn't help after the fact...maybe give reasoning like that before you ask a bunch of people that talk about making things on their own 95% of the time?

11/9/2011 6:13:04 PM

Except I don't have weeks to get it settled; event is next week and I just found out I have some extra funds And it's seriously not worth my time to debate this sort of crap with accounting when event planning is only 10% of my overall job.

11/9/2011 6:18:01 PM

I guess you didn't read what I said.

You may have gotten some great places to shop had you given that reasoning beforehand, instead of "go to michaels"

Now...go to big lots as well...they seem to sell table decor like its going out of style. Your normal stores like Targets & K-Marts will also have decor.

You can even get shit extra cheap from Pottery Barn after the season (or really close to the holiday) if you wanna step it up a notch

11/9/2011 6:20:35 PM

Lol I did but my brain is in a million places tonight. I shouldn't think about work stuff after work hours.

11/9/2011 6:24:54 PM

ever have one of those days where you do your eyeliner thicker on one eye so you go to make the other side thicker so it's even, but then you over do it and so you have to make the other eye liner even thicker........... continue on for 15 minutes?

yea i look like a fucking raccoon right now

AND I SHALL ROCK IT LIKE I MEANT TO DO IT ON PURPOSE

11/9/2011 9:37:02 PM

hahaha, that's what I started using the Shiseido eyeliner. Rarely have that happen now.

11/9/2011 9:39:02 PM

the whatnowwho eyeliner?

edit: i googled it. that is pretty much the same type i use. i have a brush like that and everything. MAYBE I AM JUST NOT GOOD AT MAKEUP

[Edited on November 9, 2011 at 9:52 PM. Reason : fail]

11/9/2011 9:50:16 PM

In NYC Shiseido used have this cool free makeup training session you could go to. It was an hour and they gave you all sorts of tips and tricks. The one that I remember the best from it is rather than trying to draw a continuous line when putting on your eyeliner, do super short strokes to make points along your eye, then connect the dots. That way you have an even line every time

11/9/2011 10:00:53 PM

so here's what's up:

I went out looking for tops like Erica had picked, and instead I found some leather boots for 50% off. I had been looking for an amazing pair of boots for a while and I couldn't find any that I liked, so I had given up my search. But I found them. And they were on sale.

Then I was thinking about what to wear with them, but I couldn't think of anything in my closet. So I tried on some things in the store. I was the only person there and the sales lady helped me pick out some stuff. She looked like a younger, prettier Donatella Versace so I trusted her.

I ended up with a mini skirt (so on me it's like a micro mini). I was a little hesitant at first because I normally don't show off a lot of leg, and oh my goodness it was on sale for EIGHT DOLLARS. I had to buy it, it was only $8. I think I'm going to wear the boots and the skirt, plus black tights (to cover my ugly ass knees) and a black long sleeve crew neck top.



But thennnnnnnnnn I was thinking - what about colored or textured tights???????

Erica what do you think?

11/10/2011 6:01:59 PM

I feel like some colored tights would spice it up a bit. You gotta stand out your birthday girl!

11/10/2011 6:04:53 PM

Yeah, or some tattoo tights

11/10/2011 6:06:17 PM

Textured tights could be super fun! Where did you find the boots?

11/10/2011 6:12:14 PM

I would go with some tights that have texture too them! I love these

11/10/2011 10:57:47 PM

Definitely go for a pattern

or do what I do when I get bored with things and throw a fun color on (love some HUE colors) and then put a black pattern on the top so the color peeks through

This


Over This


or any other color

[Edited on November 10, 2011 at 11:02 PM. Reason : e]

11/10/2011 11:00:11 PM

Seems a little harsh, but its fun when a little leg is poking out between a boot and a mini

(and your legs stay warmer than just wearing a pattern/textured tight with all them holes)

11/10/2011 11:05:56 PM

A little update on my hormone issues and such (as if anyone cares):

I changed my vitamin (prenatal, girlie doc suggestion) and added more milk and yogurt to my diet, and added a lot of good carbs back in to my diet (I had been cutting as many carbs as possible due to insulin resistance) I am drinking nothing but milk and water (this really only due to the fact that I haven't wanted anything else) and anyways, I have tons more energy, i'm falling asleep faster and waking up refreshed before the alarm, and not crying at random times.


I've also lost 7 pounds!

11/11/2011 3:10:47 PM

Anyone know where I can find a cute denim mini skirt. I'm going to hit the mall after 5 and will be on the hunt.
