I love the big cat trend that's been prowling around the fashion scene in recent months. These shoes are a perfect interpretation of the trend - platform with studs and rhinestones, with cheetah printed on calf hair--gorgeous!! Animal prints (faux of course) are so fun, and should not be restricted to Lisa Frank stickers or the 1980's! I'm so glad it's back. Fashion trends have been more and more conservative (I think of it like a pendulum swinging) so it's nice to see that amongst all the muted tones, camel coats, relaxed slacks, and crisp tailoring, there is a little splash of leopard here and there to perk up an outfit!

My beloved (that's [houston], which does not stand for husband by the way!) flew back from Ft. Worth this past weekend to celebrate our 2 year anniversary (dating, not married...yet lol!). I missed him so much, and we had a great time making the most of the 36-or-so hours we had in each others' company. He's now in Los Angeles for his second away-rotation, at USC, and in three short weeks I will be on a plane to spend my week's vacation with him in sunny L.A.!

Thought I would share with you my latest wishlist (since that's what this blog initially started as, an outlet for my impulsive consumerism!)....

• Moroccanoil Light treatment (for blonde/fine hair)
• Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray (inspired by Taylor!)
• Montblanc Bohème Doué pen

Oh, and I've heard you loud and clear - will definitely be doing a video review of the beauty blender soon! Thanks loves!
