I couldn’t believe that these showed up on my doorstep. • Decided that it was time for black nails…the love affair is back! • Had a super inspiring talk with a client that covered all of our favorite online fashion boutiques • On Friday night, Joey whipped up homemade pad thai for dinner (have I mentioned that I loathe cooking and he has dinner ready almost every night when I get home?!) • Rendered graphics onto kiosks and trucks (don’t ask). • Realized that every time I turn on the TV, nothing’s on and I end up watching Dr. Oz. • Booked the cutest ever Parisian hotel with Gala for our upcoming Virgos Onlyâ„¢ trip. • Ordered two pairs of elf shoes for an upcoming shoot (once again, don’t ask) • Tried to design a St. Paddy’s Day poster for a client and failed miserably — beer and leprechauns just aren’t my thing! • Remembered how much I love Star; she always messages me, telling me about the next big thing in blogging & web design. • Felt inspired to start my massive portfolio update • Listened to Thriller • Scrubbed three floors in one night. • And, here I am and it’s Saturday.

I can’t quite believe that I have a pair of Finsk 252-98 shoes on my feet right now. Last week, Solestruck sent me a message, offering me a pair of my choice as a thank you for our continued work together and I literally leapt out of my chair, ran into Joey’s studio, spun around three times and jumped in the air. He probably thought I was possessed my the devil (that wouldn’t be a huge surprise). But, I was actually possessed by shoes (also not a huge surprise). Before I could snap my fingers, they were waiting on my doorstep. The one brand that always felt like a distant, out of reach love is now in my hands. Thank you, Solestruck!! Wow. Just wow.

It’s a bit mid boggling that I’m 29 years old and have extensively traveled the country but have never made it to Europe! To celebrate my upcoming voyage with Gala, I invested in a very special passport holder. Pantone, of course. One month away! I am so excited.

A little face paint never hurt anyone.

My nails always always always used to be black. Then, with my black hair and mostly black wardrobe, I decided that I needed to lighten things up a bit. So, red, white, mint green and silver all took its place. Old habits die hard, though. After a year hiatus, black is definitely back.

Much love to you! See you Monday! Time to do freelance, clean and go couch shopping!
