I heart Iced Coffee

how cool is this!? 

I've been experimenting with making iced coffee for a few months now...for convenience and of course for the $$ savings...but this coffee press from Crate & Barrel makes iced coffee!

wouldn't mind sealing these envelopes!

envelopes...flavored like bacon.  genius!!!  there is nothing worse then the taste of the glue on an envelope flap...am I right??  thank you for these bacon flavored envelopes - you can find them at Uncommon Goods!

personal intervention...nail polish

hi, my name is Lauren, and I'm addicted to nail polish...

it's true, one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday night, is to give myself a nice little manicure...just something to make my hands feel pretty, and to start the week on a good note...I obviously can't afford to have my nails done, and quite frankly, the process of having someone else file my nails gives me chills just thinking about it...but anyway...

I have a nice collection of nail polish- but lately I've been getting emails from Sephora, and they have these adorable mini nail polish sets...so you can try lots of colors without buying a whole big bottle!  and now, they even have colors inspired by Glee, one of my very favorite shows...

I'm a sucker for color combinations, and these are some of my most recent favorites...

one of my awesome Christmas presents?  this mega mini nail polish set!

Thursday's shoe story .:. maroon and orange pride .:.

how cute are these?  I have been looking for rain boots, because well, I don't like when my feet get wet, and we know how I feel about cute shoes :)


Stadium Stompers is the company that makes these water proof, and team spirited boots...and they have several other color collections, so you can keep your feet dry, and cheer on your team at the same time!

red carpet ready

so I don't frequently get dressed up, or have reasons to do glamorous makeup, but that doesn't mean that I can't pine for some really fabulous makeup sets just in case the occasion should arise...

Stila and E! designed this line of makeup- Live From the Red Carpet...and I so would rock this Glamour Goddess collection!

because you can never have too much glitter...

ahh shoes, one of my many weaknesses...but I've been pretty good in the recent months to curtail my urge to buy multiple pairs of shoes...although I really could use a good pair of rain boots...but I digress...

so this Thursday's shoe story isn't about shoes I own...but rather shoes I feel like I should...

hello...they have glitter on them...like everything else in my life (not all on purpose)...super cute new shoes at Payless...can I resist??

*I'm a size 9, should anyone feel compelled to get them for me...

takes me back

I was a huge fan of the Muppets when I was growing up, and I still make time, every Christmas season to watch the Muppet Family Christmas, where they all storm into Mrs Bears house, and Miss Piggy braves the snowstorm to be with them by the end...and of course the Fraggles in the basement, the stand up comic snowman and my absolute favorite, the Swedish Chef...

so you can imagine my glee, when I stumbled across this adorable print by Eric Slager...

I need to have this hanging somewhere in my house!  you can find it here!
