You're so vain

" I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny"

(Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel

I need CUTE comfortable walking shoes and a CUTE warm jacket!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED it. Really.
So, I have been packing and getting ready to leave for a few days now. I am all packed but I feel like maybe I over packed outfits. All I really need are CUTE comfortable walking shoes and a CUTE warm jacket!!!!!!!!!!!



I have tons of clothes packed and tomorrow morning before I leave I am going to take some out.

I have already removed two pairs of shoes, an Aldo flat and a Chinese Laundry flat. Why? I don't know. I will probably wish I had them but I remember wearing the CL in the winter here and my feet were cold so I can imagine being uncomfortable in NZ.

 I have another Aldo flat packed, a pair of Aldo wedge ankle boots, and a Nanette Lepore flat. I also have some walking shoes with tread but they look hideous with ALL my clothes, even my jeans and I packed ONE pair of peep toe heels by Doll House. Whatever. I will hopefully find some good shoes in Orange County or in Oz.

Have you ever......

Have you ever heard of LUSH!?

 Walking from Mandalay Bay back to Excalibur Morgan, Angie, Kati, Georgia and I walked into LUSH. Jeszi had been talking about it but I had never been in a store. Little did I know. It is all handmade, edible, and fresh. Everything is made out of fruit and vegetables including two of my favorites, avocados and strawberries. YUM. The store smells divine! They sell by the pound so it is kinda like grocery shopping. Silly and fun! 

 When Brian came to Vegas I talked about it so much we went and he bought me a massage bar. It is like a bar of lotion. Love it!

"HEAVANILLI"

"We loved the smell of Vanillary so much we just had to put it in everything, and the thought of rubbing a cocoa butter Vanillary scented massage bar all over ourselves got us quite excited. So we infused the bar with sweet and seductive vanilla and tonka bean absolute for a rich and sexy massage. We like to rub this all over ourselves, dust with Vanilla Puff duster and walk around sniffing our own arms and legs; you've been warned, it's what Vanillary does to you."

If you are interested in LUSH, they have shops all over the 

world. You can order online, they have an online catalog or 

one they can mail. But they encourage paperless :) 

Thanks for reading! <3

An extra 6 bucks!

So I returned the shoes this morning. It was hard thing to do, but I know it was the right thing to do. Because I bought them on sale I was only eligible for an exchange or store credit. I have been wanting an across the body purse that would be easy for crusin' and walkin' around leaving my hands and arms to be able to move about freely and unrestrained by awkward purse handles. I did some research online and decided on the KAVU Sydney purse. It is named Sydney and I am flying to Sydney May 17th! How perfect is that? I chose the black purse because I can not take myself seriously with the wild patterns KAVU produces, however pretty, just not for me.  The purse was 34.99 from Mountain High in Cahaba Heights near Whole Foods on 280. 

I also bought this wallet for 19.99. I do not know if I really needed it, but it will  be nice to have. 

"Mid-sized wallet with complete zip closure, external strap to clutch, exterior patch work construction, internal zip coin pocket, credit card and ID holders, pen slot, and mesh stash pocket that's perfect for a passport or other important documents"

I have a problem

I am not in denial, I know I have a problem. But how can I help my problem!? I needed these shoes!!!!

I purchased these Vegan Red Wrap Boots from Mountain High Outfitters, (formally known as High Country) on Sale for $56. (They were $98!) I saw them and knew I had to have them! I really hope they are as comfortable to walk in as they look. 

When I got home and displayed my new purchase to my mom and step-dad he laughed and said it looked like a foot brace. He joked it looked like the shoe they gave him when he had ankle surgery. 

I am a little nervous about the canvas wearing thin. They were as expensive as leather shoes from Clarks. I hope I made a good choice. 

I have a few days to think about it. They only draw back is Mountain High will only give credit or exchanges. They have a Kavu purse I kinda want but it is $30 and they have a cute jacket but its over $100 and I don't know if I really need it. I don't want it. If I need a jacket in NZ I will buy one in NZ. 

Any advice?
