Luau of this, Luau of that

Luau tonight means flowered ankles and bitch'n wooden wedges! Gotta love summer "fashion".

Now for my fresh salsa and ribs...

It's a rib contest/cook-off/iron chef. Morgan is going with an understated dry rub. I'm making a classic, fresh (and organic salsa) salsa with black bean chips.

A Zebra By Any Other Name...

This a little out of character.. ok, a lot out of character. I had a rough day and a coupon. Sue me. I figure it'll be fun for a week or so.

Finger nails are back to my signature 'Barefoot in Barcelona' after being (gasp!) totally natural and bare for a week or so.

... I deeply prefer leopard print to zebra.. maybe next time? Ha!

Individual Pieces of Life Gold

New glitter pedicure! Now glitter is usually something I would never do, as I prefer the classic nail styles. However, cash is tight so I'm doing my nails at home and I had some of this gold glitter polish by 'Nicole by OPI' at home from a past Halloween costume... plus its summer! What the hell!

The name is 'Twist of Fate'. It must be from a theme collection where that made sense. So let's play.. better ideas?

Glitter Bombing

First Place Fierce (get it, first place is gold... yeah it was a stretch)

aaaand, my personal favorite...

Prada Madra Mine..ra?

I'm in love and it should come as no surprise it's with a handbag. I give you, from their Spring Summer 2011 collection, The Prada Madra bag.

She is beaut at roughly $2,000 U.S. dollars. I don't think I'll be finding this at TJ Maxx anytime soon.

Here it is with Jessica Alba and Uma Thurman. Lovely!

Green Thumb Manicures

Check out our cucumber plant! I never pictured myself as a gardner, but I'm loving it. Further updates and shots of our patio make-over coming!

Leave the Columns to the Greeks.

Michelle and the other guy (I kid, I kid) greet German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband for the State Dinner. Mrs. O is in a Naeem Khan gown.

She was widely praised for this choice, but I'm not so sure. Color is great and the her hair looks great. The shape... or should I say, lack-of? Not so great. Then again regardless of the body I'm never a real fan of square necklines and wide shoulder straps (without sleeves).

Even though the gown has a clear A-Line shape, the bulky top makes it look like a column dress to me. The beading only makes it look heavier.

All of that said, I would still kill to wear it any day of week. Rock on Mrs. O.

Pool Again, Pool Again

Check out my awesome new beach hat! I broke it in last week at Pensacola Beach... this week we are at the less exciting apartment complex pool. I found it for (drumroll....) $6! Thanks Shopko!
