He Had Me At Slip-ons
It’s my personal opinion that a guy in a great pair of shoes is much more likely to get some action, than a guy who doesn’t care about his shoes. Am I right or wrong? Picture your guy (or any cute guy you know) in a pair of beat-up tennis shoes…..ok. Now, picture him in a better pair of shoes…….how was that? Did anything change for you? Amen!
When I saw these Rivieras, I thought to myself, ‘well that’s a nice upgrade from a pair of flip-flops’ and they’re only $69. It’s the kind of thing that could take a pair of khakis and linen shirt to the next level. Plus, they’re lined in terry cloth and doesn’t that just sound heavenly! Saw them at Mr. Porter, which is a drool-worthy, online retailer of designer menswear and offshoot of Net-a-porter.com.
Spring Cleaning
I’ve been posting a bit less lately, but I haven’t been lazy. I got the spring cleaning bug about three weeks ago and got my rear in gear with Spring Cleaning Short-cuts from RealSimple. It’s got everything from windows, to carpet, to curtains, to mattresses and definitely worth a look if you’re contemplating putting on the rubber gloves on this weekend.
I also spruced up the blog with a new theme, an updated Reading section, reformatted Fashion Bookshelf and even added a section for Eating. A girl’s got to eat and I love to cook, so I shared my first recipe of Rustic Potato and Greens Pie, which also happens to be vegetarian. Hope you’ll click-through and check out what I’ve been up to.
Good Clicking:
- My sister-in-law shared this article from NY Times on One Size Fits Nobody.
- Women in their 70s+ in this truly inspiring Advanced Style: Age and Beauty video. Fearless, fabulous style never stops.
- Refinery29 turned me on to blogger Gary Pepper Vintage. Sublime personal style blog.
Also, Join me in the Goodreads 2011 Book Challenge.
I’ve committed to reading 24 books this year. How many can you read in a year?? Feel free to join in, we’d love to have you along!
Energetic, fun blog! The recipe looks fantastic! Thanks. Couldn’t get with the 70 year old styling but it was a smile waiting to happen. Guess I’ll have to join the reading challenge!
I was hoping you’d join the challenge. You’ll blow me out of the water with the number of books you’ll read in a year. What’s your number??
