i heart ... nana & grandpa's cabin


while stephanie and her family were in town
we had to make a trip to nana & grandpa's cabin in lakeside for the weekend.
stephanie and her family hadn't been there in awhile,
and neither had i.
i just love nana & grandpa's cabin so much!
i remember going there every summer when i was growing up.
it felt so good to go there again
where everything is the same,
frozen in time.
it was like stepping back into my childhood.
i love that!

here's what we did:



we rode on the old saddle from sundown ranch...




... we colored pictures ...



... we churned some butter ...



... we played the piano ...



... we swung on the swing ...



... we did puzzles ...



... (a new tradition) we went to walmart and checked out the new awesome british-inspired miley cyrus & max azria collection ...
(yes, max azria at walmart. something is definitely not right about that!)



... we read ...




... we played badminton ...



... we admired dead things in grandpa's shed...



of course, we made s'mores...







... the brave ones watched "the 6th sense" in the tent...



... we went canoeing at rainbow lake ...







... and also fed the ducks ...






... the end.

i heart ... xxx shine lip gloss!

earlier i posted about the urban decay primer potion that i love...
but today i'm posting about my favorite product from urban decay.

actually, it's my favorite product of all make-up products... period.

it's urban decay xxx shine lip gloss in "ozone".












it's my favorite lip gloss because it is long lasting...
but most of all because
it's über glossy and shiny!

i heart ... the oscars!



i love, love, love the oscars!
mostly i just love to see what everyone is wearing.
here are my favorites:





this is my very favorite dress of the night. so fairy princess.
dior



penelope had seen this dress 8 years ago in a vintage shop. she knew she would love to wear it for a special occasion and was lucky enough to find it again so she could wear it to the oscars. it is a 60-year-old vintage gown.
pierre balmain



this dress is a bit mummy-ish, but beautiful at the same time. strange. roberto cavalli


sparkles! i love sparkles!

armani



this dress just made me say, "wow!" i'm a bit of an expert on pleating because i do watch "project runway", you know. pleating is a difficult thing. just look at all that pleating! this dress was someones labor of love.
versace




now, my favorite thing of the whole oscars was angelina's jewelry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
emeralds are my favorite, and these are emeralds to die for!
seriously. i would die for them.

i heart ... urban decay


... urban decay eyeshadow primer potion, that is. it is the best! it helps my eyeshadow stay set all day. my eyeshadow looks as fresh at the end of the day as it does at the start of the day. i've tried other brands but they don't compare. is this sounding like a commercial?
