when is boot time?

It's no secret on this blog that I'm very much enamored of boots. I look at them year-round trying to decide what new pair I'll buy in the fall. So, needless to say, when the months start to creep closer to cooler weather, I get the itch to break them out. That's assuming it will get cold enough here to actually wear them this fall/winter. (Bonus: I'm glad they'll cover up my inevitable cankles.)

I'm fully aware that August 31 is way too early to wear a knee boot, but when do you think is an appropriate time? I can't decide. After Labor Day? After the first official day of fall (September 22)? Not till October? At the first nip in the air? I'm interested to hear your thoughts...

Have a great weekend, darlings. Football season finally begins! Go Dawgs!

wish list wednesday

What am I wishing for this Wednesday?



* I haven't been able to get these popovers out of my head since seeing them on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

* Who wants to have a Favorite Things party with me and MK?

* That I could sing like Scarlett Johannson. Don't you want her and Pete Yorn to love each other in real life?

* Inclement weather always makes me want Hunter wellies.

* Prayers for my friends in Louisiana and on the MS Gulf Coast! Hang in there!

What's your wish?

Remember the dog silhouette art Anthropologie sold a long time ago?



I remember them well because of their cuteness, and I also seem to recall they were very expensive (as many items are there). I love to copy artwork for my own home, and on a whim I searched for "DIY dog silhouettes" and found these.



I (of course) already have pictures of my little pups' silhouettes, so I'd use those instead of just a generic dog image. But I think they're pretty darn cute!

What do you think? Do you woof them too?

What am I wishing for this Wednesday?

* A new 'do. Every few months or so, I get bored with my hair, and I want something different (read: calmer and less massive).

* How pretty is this dress? It would probably look good on about 1% of the world's population, but elegant nonetheless.

* I kind of adore this bag.

* How do y'all feel about these? I fully support them.

* Great weather at the beach. Yes, I'm going back!

What's your wish?

If this doesn't make you want to shop at Gap, nothing will.

that don't impress me much

I'm not over the Olympics. I would watch them for a solid month if we could find enough athletes to compete.

And I, like all Americans, are enamored of the ladies' gilded gymnastics team. I remember watching the Kerri Strug vault in real time, and McKayla's was just as exciting! Speaking of McKayla, have y'all seen this tumblr?

People are so clever! McKayla, teach me how to Dougie!

Have an impressive weekend, darlings.

wish list wednesday

What am I wishing for this Wednesday?

* Banana bread donuts with nutella glaze? Excuse me?

* Do y'all think the John Freida 3-Day Straight works? I wonder...

* Maybe when my fingers get fat, Kell will buy me this.

* A few extra prayers for my mom this week. She needs a boost!

* This iPad case is WAY cuter than the one I have (oh, and it TOTALLY matches my blog, too).

What's your wish?
