Shoe Fetish

Hey guys. Still editing my holiday photos. 

But in the meantime I thought I would share with you a few of my lusts as of late.

If you know me well, you know I have a bit of a ...shoe problem. 

Nude pump. Always a favorite. I adore these. 

Very basic but I love the shape and how well they would match everything for spring.

Yes. I am already longing for spring.

Menswear inspired pump. And on sale! I think they would be cute with my work stuff.

Last but not least... My ultimate lust. Gonna keep my eye

on these to see if maybe they will go on sale. I lovelovelovelovelove

 these mens style oxfords. <3

But...Unfortunately, during the crazy holiday storm I lost my debit card in all the madness. 

So I am going to have to wait a few weeks before I can order anything! :( 

Hopefully they dont sell out of my size! That would really bum me out.

You guys got your eyes on anything lately? I love window shopping.

I'm back!

Hey guys. I am baaaccckkk. Decided to take a little blogging break over my holiday after all. Blogging was getting to be a bit too much with the insane weather and other various holiday events. Will be posting about my post-apocalyptic christmas experience and about new years very soon. Just wanted to update you guys.  

Hope everyone had a great holiday (or at least made the best of it. haha.) Now wake the eff up and get back to work you slackers! ;)

Coffee Cupping.

Coffee Cupping, or Coffee Tasting, is the practice of observing the tastes and aromas of brewed coffee. It is a professional practice but can be done informally by anyone or by professionals known as Master Tasters. A standard coffee cupping procedure involves deeply sniffing the coffee, then loudly slurping the coffee so it spreads to the back of the tongue. The coffee taster attempts to measure aspects of the coffee's taste, specifically the body (the texture or mouthfeel, such as oiliness), sweetness (the perceived sweetness at the sides of the tongue,acidity (a sharp and tangy feeling at the tip of the tongue, like when biting into an orange),flavour (the characters in the cup), and aftertaste. Since coffee beans embody telltale flavours from the region where they were grown, cuppers may attempt to predict the coffee's origin. (From Wikipedia)

Went to my first coffee cupping last night at Gray Owl coffee in Norman, Ok. I have to say, compared to these guys I know nothing about coffee. But it was fun trying all the different flavors out and learning that I could actually describe what I was tasting.

We would have several cups sat down in front of us, we would lean in and get a big wiff of the coffee, trying to identify what the flavors were just by the scent, then would quickly take a sip from a spoon and then jot down the first flavors that came to mind. Think of a wine tasting except wayyyy more cracked out by the end of the night once everyone was full of caffeine. My post-it was on the very far left, short and to the point. While the really knowledgable guy's was the one just to the right of mine that was long and detailed. Seemed as though I got mine pretty right on tho for a beginner. ;)

Are you guys really into coffee? Ever gone to a "cupping" before?

Sunday Thrifting Finds.

Man this weekend was a blast. Went to an awesome Christmas party last night and Chenoa and I had a lil sleepover. Woke up this morning and made some breakfast, listened to some tunes, and then we decided we wanted to go thrifting.

Best find of the day. A little Mid Century Table. Got it at Community Thrift for $15. Love.

Died when I found this print. I have a few other very similar prints. And if you know me you know I love "tree stuff" • Beautiful cream and gold vintage bag. with long shoulder strap.

Vanity tray. Been searching for one for a while and couldnt find one I really liked until today. • Pretty dish I found that I thought would be perfect for holding all my spare change laying around my house.

More "tree stuff". ;) Silver candle with tree bark texture. A great find for me. • Cute throw I found that perfectly matched my stuff. Bluegreen and Taupy color.

This was a hilarious find because I had been getting crap from my friends this weekend for my love of cheap Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Sorry frins but I think it tastes better than Starbucks charred roast. Anyway this was a perfect find to end a weekend. Love the cute 1970s style mug.

The little box was the new find. Bought it because it perfectly matched two other tins I had. I think it's going to hold recipes or tea. The taller one is currently being used for coffee filters. • Pressed flower decoration. If you havent noticed, I love having little elements of nature around my place.

Last but not least. This wasnt a thrifting find, but a housewarming gift from my friend Chenoa. A bottle of Fat Bastard Merlot with a cute little Kimono style holder. Loveeee it. :)

Vintage Video Friday! Happy Christmas.

Two posts in one day? Fancy That.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Tis' the season of Vitamin C.

It all starts with that little itch. You know the one. At the back of your throat when you swallow. The sneezes you wishfully think are just allergies. Then a weird feeling of warmth comes over you followed by chills. Yep. You are starting to get sick. And I say.. I will have none of it.

Ever since yesterday when I got that first little feeling, I have been inundating myself with very high doses of vitamin C... via a mysterious fizzing elixr called Emergen-C....and it seems to be keeping it at bay...kind of. I am still feeling rather weak and not like myself but my weakness has not turned into the full blown plague just yet.

And plus... who wouldnt want to overdose on Vitamin C when it is flavored like Acai Berry?
