My friend Leah told me that I looked like I was wearing "a Snuggie that's acceptable to be seen outside", and I'm OK with that. I was so toasty warm! I love that it's getting a little chilly down here :)

Mike, the karaoke DJ scared the shit out of me with this wolf mask. It even moved when he talked. Creeeepy!

My friend Mark was visiting from England. We did an excellent rendition of Warren G and Nate Dog's "Regulate". 

We also have to make sure that there's a photo of us throwing up the "A-Town" sign before we go to bed. 

Anyone wanna marry this guy real quick so we can hang out all the time. There are so many more 90's rap choons we need to do at SoCo.

Hope y'all had a happy Halloween!

Lemme Upgrade Ya.

There were 2 casualties on my trip to Myrtle Beach, the first was my mp3 player that I immediately replaced because I can't live without music, and the second was my straw fedora. 

I wore it in the ocean, and the mixture of saltwater and sand killed my 100% paper hat. I loved that hat.

see, here, here and here for example!

I decided that because I wore this hat so much that I could spend a little more money than I would normally because I know that I wear a fedora all the time. I went to Bill Hallman in Little 5 and picked up a swankier version of my sweet hat. It has beautiful silk leopard trimming, is super sturdy and will work 365 days a year. I will keep this one out of the water for sure!

P.s. I totally used a Beyonce song as the title because I'm super happy for her and Jay-Z. Such a sweet moment on the VMA's when she revealed her teeny tiny bump.

Step into my office...

I'm a painter. I always have been. When I was a child I thought everyone ran home to break out their watercolors and paper, not sit and watch back to back episodes of Grange Hill.

So, I've already welcomed you into my closet, now I'd like to invite you into my favorite space, my office.

Top- (it was a dress that I cut up) Old Navy

My necklace was a present from my hubby for my birthday, he had it made specially for me! Yippee :)

Look at Marvin upstaging me and showing me how to pose! Meow! He should strut his stuff on a catwalk...yeah, that was a bad joke. Sorry.
