Some days..

Some days are good hair days...

and some days are not...

today is one of those days.
There is something that helps though...

 I ran out of the shampoo (maybe this is why I look like chaka..)
It's Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioner and although it costs a pretty penny
(like $50 for the conditioner)
 it is worth every cent, lasts FOREVER
 and although my hair may not always look so great (my fault )
these products keep the chaka days to a minimum:)

Hoping you are having a good hair day,
 (and you watched Land of the Lost:)

A Beachy Bag

Kris and I were skyping the other day,showing each other our finds
(aka what we bought at Homegoods/Marshalls)
She found this adorable chevron make up bag (hers was blue...)

it is by Donna Dixon, do you remember her from Bosom Buddies? Or are we dating ourselves:)

  Well I knew I had to find my own and have also been in the market for a new beach/pool bag, as my old one has who-knows-what stuck to the inside bottom of it.  Alas, a new DONNA DIXON chevron print canvas tote was calling my name...and boy is it roomy.
Only 29.99 at my Marshalls/Homegoods mega store (aka Heaven)

Here are a few more cute ones, while we're at it.

And, of course, the classic J. Crew Market tote.

or this one from Kerry Cassill

obviously already dreaming about the beach and thanks to Donna I have the perfect bag:)

A chunky pair

Something's "off" in my dining room.  Well, ok, here's lots of things I would like to change but there's one thing I'm into now...changing my wussy "buffet lamp" to a couple of interesting , chunky lamps.
