snow’s coming…sport a pedicure

October 19, 2009

Every lifestyle, gossip and fashion blog I visited today had advertising for ‘It’s On With Alexa Chung.”  Can’t imagine that MTV’s show that airs at 3:30pm is gunning for my 29 year old viewership, but I still clicked through to see the latest on Ms. Chung.  I was happy to see a section devoted to her style and a breakdown of the outfits she wears on the show.  One item caught my eye:

comme-des-garcons-bare-feet

They’re by Comme Des Garcons…and they’re fugly interesting aren’t they?  At first glance I want to make fun, but the more I stare they start to grow on me.  They’re the kind of shoes I’d SAY I’d wear, but never would.   Although by February when the snow is piled high and toes are hidden beneath wool socks these may seem more appealing and wearable.  If you’re feeling love for the barefoot shoes right now, head on over to snag a pair (they come in black too).

ipod for your baby

October 8, 2009

Who says iPod’s are for adults?!  Ok, yes, they absolutely are, but maybe your baby can work the iPod style?     I have a ton of friends who are expecting and I’ve been looking for some unique baby clothes.   I came across iPopMyBaby.com’s adorable line of iPod inspired baby onesies and tees:

They also have simpler iPod versions, each onesie or tee is about $19.95.  Now I don’t just want an iPhone I want an iPhone onesie for my friend’s babies!

slimy swamp creatures

October 8, 2009

Halloween is a really big deal in my house.  The first jack-o-lantern went out in early September.  The little one loves Halloween activities and recently found a great Halloween recipe book.  One “recipe” we tried out last week was for slimy swamp creatures.  I hesitate to call it a recipe because it involves Jell-o and gummie worms:

Take one packet of green Jell-o, prepare per instructions…once the Jello-o has set, break it up and stir in gummie worms (we added Swedish Fish as well) and voila…Slimy Swamp Creatures!
