I know it’s only mid February but I was flipping through the most recent j.jill catalog and was lured in by these sweet clogs.  I love the details… the thick strap, flower cut-outs and scalloped edges. What did the groundhog predict again?  (hopefully spring comes sooner than later)

Our two nieces’ birthday party is next weekend so Steve and I spent part of Saturday shopping for some fun girlie goodies to put together for them.  We couldn’t resist these punchy pink converse high tops for Morgan.  I added a couple of ‘girl power’ charms from our store’s charm-it it display for a little extra flair. And we both fell in love with these rockin’ cowgirl boots for Madeline. The inside lining is .

Sometimes my afternoons at my home office feel like that Ellen DeGeneres commercial for American Express (see below) Our bully, Samson is always eagerly perched on the edge of the love seat in our office watching the computer screen and Tuesday helps out when I need to maneuver the mouse.  I can’t rely on them for any grand business ideas; however they’re pretty talented at warming my heart.

With the temperatures dipping down in the single digits lately, my sweater rotation has been on the upswing… so when I spotted this clever under garment it perked my interest. I think I need to add a couple of these to my wardrobe for numerous reasons… ~ it’s lightweight, whisper-thin, form-fitting fabric that adds no bulk under clothing (because who wants to look bigger than they are!?) ~ it takes the edge off itchy .

Here’s a clever Canandian commercial that keeps you guessing about what happens under the mistletoe.
