maybe i am jealous?

every time i see this picture of gisele, i think "that is such a cute picture"...then my thoughts change. i think, seriously, how can she sit in that drawer and the chest not topple over on her? maybe i am jealous b/c i am 33 wks pregnant, and she can actually see her toenails to paint them...or maybe i am slightly bitter b/c i am finding it difficult to open the refrigerator door and not have it hit my belly when i am standing in front of it. who knows, maybe i should just go back to thought #1: that is such a cute picture...and i'm happy that gisele looks amazing in that bra and panty set, sitting in a drawer painting her toenails....

coral

for some reason, this color isn't one that i use a lot but every time i see a picture w/ it, i fall in love. here is some inspiration of how wonderful coral looks mixed w/ color or as an accent. and to serve as a reminder to myself as a color that i would like to use in the near future.

it's true.

i used to wear my makeup like this (circa 1993-1997)...for every friday night football game in high school (HOT, i know). when i saw this picture, i was instantly taken back to my days on dance team. the only thing that needs to change is her hair- it needs to be in a tight french braid...the kind that makes your eyes water b/c it's pulled so tight. i looked on facebook for a picture to show y'all....luckily, i couldn't find any.

on another note, keely from luxe+ lillies was nice enough to ask me to participate in her wander over wednesday post...

boys...

i tend to feature a lot of girl's rooms vs. boy's rooms on here. not intentionally, but b/c i have a little girl. i have to keep reminding myself that's going to change very soon! it's time to see what boys dig these days...

also, catherine from the amazing blog, rikshaw design, asked me to participate in her series called "what's next"....i have no business giving my opinion but if you want to see several blogger's ideas on what she should create next in her amazing line, check in out here!! thanks again catherine for asking me :)
