AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE TENTACLES GROWING OUT OF OUR FACES IS RIGHT...
I found this on the Imaginary Foundation's blog and loved it so I decided to share. Don't say that I never gave you anything.

Lovely Weekend
Inspiration for life...
I had the most lovely weekend and it's lovingly spilling over into my week. This is my favorite time of year :) I love all of the holidays, the feeling in the air, the food, the gifts...it's all just magnificent isn't it? I wish that I could feel like this all the time. Anywho, Friday night Steve and I went to the Museum of Fine Arts. On Saturday I chilled all day. I did something during the day that I can't remember, and then that night I went out with my mom, sisters, and a few other family members. That was fantastic. I spent all day Sunday dancing with my brother then we went to Texas Roadhouse with my bestfriend and his gf and I had the biggest meal I've ever ordered. I brought the leftovers to lunch for work. I'm so amped...I still have a 3 day work week, Thanksgiving at my moms, and my fav holiday of all Black Friday to look forward to. Lovely, lovely, lovely :)
My chicken was cute at first...then I realized that it resembled a bleeding heart. Weird.
Add Sweet Potatoe with marshmallows on top, Chili with green onions and cheese, Pulled Pork, and Half a slab of ribs to my meal. I went too hard.
I love this pic from the MFA. lol. Look at his leopard throw he has thrown over his shoulder like so...diva.
This is probably the greatest room that I've ever seen in my life. I am so taking inspiration from it for something.
This is my future bed in law. A girl can dream.
By far the fanciest coat rack I've ever seen in my life. I love this thing it's crazy.
If I owned this I would drink everything out of it from water to whiskey.
The colors in this hallway pleased me. I didn't even notice it til just now, but it's the same colorway as my buisness cards. lol. I was probably so attracted to it because of the familiarity and because it's already a combo I've worked with.
Close up of the lovely hallway. I don't know that I agree with that black frame. There were a few frames that I could have done without in that hallway the gold ones suited the look and feel best. There was a black one with red specks in particular that I was all set with. lol.
Idk what this is...a podium? I like it though.
Imagine having pillars like this outside your front door?! Dopeness.
This chest is simple and magnificent at the same time.
Everytime I go to the MFA I take a picture of this colored relief. I LOVE it.
I think this is an urn...but either way it would like in my house.
Wreath necklace. Pure and solid gold. What I wouldn't give to rock that around my neck...*sigh*
More pics to come...I think I've had the problem before of only being able to post 15 pics at a time. Whatevs. I hope that all of you are having as lovely a time as I am. Kisses.

Arthur Court
Never heard of Arthur Court before, but I'm going to pay more attention now that I've viewed this lovliness on Rue La La...I love embellishment more than you could ever know.

LYDIA COURTEILLE
I don't know where to begin. I don't think I have the vocabulary to speak what I felt when I saw these pics. I nearly fainted, I can say that much. Oh, Lydia! How long have you roamed this sweet earth before I knew of you?! This jewelry is bananas. The drawings are RIDICULOUS. I am in love. I've posted the website below the pics...please pay homage.
I didn't comment on the other pics, but I had to for this one cuz that snake thing on her arm/hand?! WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK?! I want that SO bad! I've never seen anything like it. I'm sure the prices for all of this stuff is way out of my range, but a girl can look/dream/hope :-/

TAJ UPDATE
Just in case you were wondering how TAJ is doing, he is quite swell. He fell asleep in one of my shoe boxes the other day and I woke him up while trying to get the perfect pic. He yelled at me :(
Still Mommy's baby :)

Halloween Outfit
Just a quick outfit post. I wore this to my sisters' Halloween party. I just had no time to put together a costume. Anyway, the party was a good time. Too good almost.
Added more shoes to the collection. I bought those bracelets at the same time. I wore them both to the party. The color is all wrong because my camera is trash, but they look cute like this too. I guess.
The next morning I found like 20 drunk pics of me in my moms mirror in her bathroom. lol. This was the most decent looking one.

BOOMERANGS
I went to Boomerangs this weekend for the first time ever. My mom insists that we've gone there together before, but there's no way I wouldn't remember being in there. They are selling pure thrift magic. I wish I could have gone through the gear...I saw plenty of gaudy shit right up my alley sticking out on the racks...but I'm in full home mode so I was all about finding things that would make my apartment pretty :). These pictures are absolutely terrible (would you expect from me?) but I just wanted to share. Yay to Boomerangs!
A vase and a tile coaster that I intend to rest it on. They were $3 and $1.50, respectively.
Lovely plates! The flower ones were 50 cents each, the black ones are from Pfaltzgraaf's Midnight Sun collection ( I LIVE to look shit up. lol) and they were $1 each which is a steal seeing as though they're still available on the company's website for $7.99 apiece. The red one's are made by a company called Franciscan and they were $1 each as well. The company doesn't seem to have its own website, but I was able to find some of their stuff on various websites and according to the steep prices I saw I'm assuming I got a pretty great deal on those as well.
Worst pic ever. This lamp was only $10! the color is SO lovely...I couldn't leave it behind. The plug and cord make me believe it's super old. I wish I would have thought to take a pic. I don't think I've ever seen a plug quite like it. Besides the color I was enthused to get it home and plug it in and find out that not only does it work perfectly, there's a dimmer box on the cord. :). I will have to remind myself to never leave it plugged in if I'm not near it though. Idk how much I trust that old ass cord. lol.
Oddly enough I saw this, picked it up, and said I can put my bananas on this. And that's exactly what it's doing right now. Holding bananas. I think it was $2-$3.
I bought a few other things as well...a handmade bowl I plan to use on the kitchen table as a fruit bowl and a zebra print picture frame that came with an autographed pic of Kim Zmeskal inside (anyone want that?!)...I can't remember if there was anything else. I am absolutely planning on returning soon though. There was a huge trunk there that they were selling for $20 (!) but we couldn't get it open. They promised that they'd work on it for me and give me a call if they got it to open. I hope they do I have budgeted $200 for a trunk and I'd cry if I could get one for 10x less. My mom tells me that they have another location. Sometimes I swear that Boston is too good to me.

VIVALDI, FOUR SEASONS (WINTER)
This is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen (or heard). The plain white masks with the heapings of colorful tulle... *dies*. Art makes my world go round and this gives my rotation a kick.

SHOE PORN cont.
Had to continue the post. Apparently blogger only allows 15 pics per post...? I guess.
Charlotte Olympia for Peter Som on the feet of one of my fav bloggers Jane from Sea of Shoes
A funky jutting heel from United Nude. I can dig it.
These Raphael Young beauties are probably not for me, but I can absolutely appreciate that heel and the blue. Very pleasing to the eye.
Pucci! OMG these are fuh-ly
I think I've shown these Nicholas Kirkwood feat. Keith Haring print heels before, but I just can't get over the man's genius. His interpretation of it all is crazy.

SHOE PORN
I am a hoarder of pictures of shoes. I have so many folders filled with pictures of shoes because I just right click and save whenever I see them. And because I scout them out that happens to be often. And with that said...because I love the art of the heel...
A lovely spin on a classic silhouette. Just Cavalli got it right imo.
I remember having an Iceberg shirt when I was in high school. It was somewhat ugly, but I was so obsessed with the idea of my poor ass having something designer that it didn't matter. I also had a red Moschino sweater...now that I think about it...where the hell did I get those? lol. Anyway, these shoes are great.
Gaetano Nevarra I <3!
As you know, Francesco Scognamiglio is my fav designer like ever. How I let his spring/summer shoe collection slip me by is beyond me. I won't let it happen again. Both of the following pics are his work. *fainting*
These are Blumarine. I can't say that I love very many white shoes, especially not boots, but I will rock these bad boys in a millisecond
I first got a glimpse of Aquilano.Rimondi last year and I loved what I saw so much that I posted some of their pieces here last year around this same time. Needless to say, with these shoes they continue to impress.
Talk about fun! Never heard of Arnoldo and Battois before, but I will definitely be keeping an eye out from now on
Anastasia Radevich ass busters. lol. I like to think I'm pretty good in my heels, but idk how even I would fare in these. Maybe they look a lot crazier than they actually are. I think it may be all the empty space has me thinking they might be less than stable. I don't even know if these are for wear. I should look that up. Either way, aren't they LOVELY? Fiber optics and all.
I love Alberta Ferretti's romantic take on sandals. There needs to be more of this going on.
Versace...the tan and blues on the right...sheesh
YSL WOWZERS! The pony hair! Bad Bitch material if I've ever seen it.
The B in Balenciaga stands for B. E. A. U. T. Y. lol My GOSH I love this!
Christian Dior playful funness
McQueen...ay dios mio
