{...and more turquoise}

Aren't these colors so very pretty?
I do love all things turquoise....but do I want it on my (toe)nails? Hmmm...I'll have to see it in person--that is, ...if I can even locate a bottle of this hot new Chanel Nouvelle Vague color!

Mistral looks very pretty as well--which is your favorite?

{summer jeans}

I just bought these jeans and think they'll be perfect for Summer.

They are a stretchy, skinny, cropped 7 FAM jean in a lighter wash.

You can find them here.

In my ongoing quest to find the perfect white jeans I've also ordered these.

The Citizens Ava style is normally a great fit.

They can be found here.

Until then, I'll be wearing my favorite J Crew white jeans:

the toothpick ankle and bootcut styles below.

{what's in my shower}

Right now I am loving L'Oreal's Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing gel cleanser which I alternate with my Purpose gel cleanser--(best cleanser ever).  I like my daily facial cleanser to be mild (not harsh)--it keeps the wrinkles at bay.  ;)
Also, you can see my favorite Sweet Pea scented Suave gel body wash--no soap allowed in my house (hate soap scum)!
Then there is the Bed Head shampoo and conditioner (no comments from the peanut gallery about the name haha!).  Right now I am alternating these with my Matrix Biolage shampoo and conditioner.  An extremely convenient feature of these huge Bed Head bottles is the pump dispensers.  Love that because it is so easy in the shower!

{one of these things is not like the other}

{J. Crew Fall 2010 collection}

The theme of this collection is reportedly "Grey Gardens" or "Edie Beale goes to Girl Scout Camp"! Wow, we're not in Kansas any more--that's for sure. Remember when J. Crew used to be preppy? Embroidered whales and stuff??
Will you be shopping at J Crew in the Fall?

{a little something sweet on Easter}

Happy Easter!

{turquoise}

I have had my old LV wallet for many years. It has definitely seen better days. It was time for a new one and I wanted something fun! This turquoise wallet from Tory Burch fit the bill. It is made of a distressed, glazed leather, has lots of room inside, and I just love the color!

{Phoebe is here!}

Our new little bundle of joy has arrived!

She is the sweetest little puppy and is already well on her way to being housebroken! (Yes, she woke us up at midnight last night and again at 3am to let her outside--::yawn::)

We've spent all weekend cuddling her and getting puppy kisses.

(No, that's not a glass of beer on the table at 7am--it's iced green tea...haha)

snoozing...

and stretching...

{New Orleans}

We had a girls' trip to my hometown this weekend.

We packed a lot of fun into a couple of days!

We met Billy Joel when he spontaneously jumped into our group photo!

The Saint Louis Cathedral is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continuous use in the United States!

Riding the historic St Charles Avenue streetcar:

We had a delightful dinner here:
