GO RED!!

Today is the American Heart Association's Wear Red for Women Day! The goal is to raise awareness about heart disease in women, and the devastating effect it can have. Talk about it! Go to the doctor! Exercise! Eat well! Take care of yourself - there are so many people who love you and want you around. Heart disease is a silent killer - but you can prevent it. Do it for the people you love, and do it for yourself.Yes, Abby dolled up for Wear Red day! Excuse her expression, she was coming off the pain meds from her spaying....

I wore red today too! Red rose blouse by F21, jeans from Express (Stella Barely Boot), Cardigan from Macy's


If you wear red to Macy's from now through Sunday, you get 20% off most purchases! I scored a sweet little Chanel knock-off long cardigan for $21 - marked down from $90, oh yes yes yes.

Sloppy makeup picture- eyes were all MAC- Melon pigment, Rose pigment, Vanilla pigment, Entremauve pigment, Teddy liner; cheeks were MAC Mocha; lips were MAC Hot Tahiti

And a slightly more dignified shot of the beauteous Abigail.

I Love You 5

never shout never. (new blog) | MySpace Music Videos


Husband is in this video. He's one of the guys who pulls back the curtain and looks through the window. His moment of glory is at 1:07. Sorry, the song is not...well, it's not my personal favorite. The singer is a sweet kid though, and I'm glad he's doing so well.

Chris & Tell! Spring is coming!







I got Lancome's newest in their Pret-a-Pout line today- the Chris Benz-designed Chris & Tell lipstick. I'm in LOVE!! It's a happy, sunny shade of coral that screams spring without screaming "TACKY PALM BEACH"! And yes, I definitely modeled this outfit to fit the vibe of the lipstick. Hey, it's my blog, I can do what I want.
Breakdown:
Lips- Lancome Chris & Tell
Outfit- Express cardigan and pants, Gap tank, Target loafers
Puppy- perfect angel
Now off to bed to dream of spring....

Dressed by three women today...

Jacket by Diane Von Furstenburg
Tights and bracelets by Vera Wang (for Kohls)

I am enjoying this dressing-up experiment! Mondays are normally a day that I show up in jeans and a sweater, and even my business casual outfit yesterday was a step up. I'm not sure how much was merely a placebo effect and what was truly feeling better about looking better, but I was VERY productive yesterday. I didn't look up from my computer till 2:30, and I was astonished by how quickly the time had passed. Very interesting!

(Yes, Abby liked the outfit too. So much so, in fact, that she brought me her favorite toy in exchange for the shoes. Unfortunately for her, I passed.)

It's a Monday, all right...

Nails of the day (to be taken off soon)- 1 coat of Zoya Jennifer, followed by 1 coat of Zoya Buffy.
Really pretty color, but terrible sloppy application and sheet marks.



Puppy Face of the Day- HOW do I manage to leave this every morning??




Outfit of the Day:
American Eagle pants (via TJ Maxx clearance rack)
Tank and cardigan- NY & Co
Necklace- F21 (via generous Mom)
Boots- Etienne Aigner, Macy's clearance rack

Lines for Act 2 are due tonight, and I'm not terribly sure of myself...luckily, I think a lot of my participation in Act 2 is fairly peripheral. In other news, Sally Hansen is BOGO50% at Walgreens, and I think I need to try their new polish. And Abbydoo is getting fixed on Thursday, and I'm already a nervous wreck. My BABY! I know she'll be fine, but...my BABY!

I am RESOLVED

So I've been cleaning out my closet and obsessively reorganizing things (hey, I'm snowed in and I've finished all my library books- what else am I gonna do?) and decided I really need to make some style resolutions. I have WAY too much stuff that isn't getting worn, and I'm not using my creative synapses when it comes to putting my outfits together, especially for work. Now, that may not sound like a big deal, and in my fairly casual office, it probably isn't- but it is to me. Studies show that when you're dressed up, you feel better about yourself, and are more productive, happy, and efficient. Three things I like to be. HENCE-
Marley's Style Resolutions
1. Jeans may only be worn twice a week! (Saturday is wild card day, I can wear whatever I want)
2. Skirt/dress at least twice a week
3. Gym clothes are for working out. And that is all.
4. Keep lipstick neatly applied and fresh! (I have a habit of putting it on in the morning and forgetting about it the rest of the day - hence I've never used up an entire tube of lipstick, although I have nineteen million of them)
Additional rules can be added.
Ok, so I know this sounds a lot like "We wear pink on Wednesdays" from Mean Girls, but hey- if I have to give myself rules to stop being such a lazy bum, I'll do it! Pictoral evidence to follow, and if anyone wants to badger me about sticking to the plan, feel free- I could use a nice badger.

Walking On Sunshine!




Thank you Fyrinnae, for clearing away my blizzard blues! We got about ten feet of snow today (I think seven inches or something), and it was miserable. Imagine my happiness at the package of pretties from Fyrinnae that I've been eagerly awaiting! A much-needed bright spot in a dreary day...
Eyes- (All Fyrinnae) Pixie Epoxy as base, Melty (peach shade), The Fancy Lad (sparkly pink), Darling Misfit (fuschia), lined with Immortality
Lips- Glitter Kittiez topped with Lollipop-pop (both by Fyrinnae)
Of course, I'm not going anywhere- in fact, I'm probably not leaving the house again till Monday, but it was so much fun to play!
