Fall Shoes

Fall is approaching which means my sandals will be hibernating and I need to bring out some more appropriate shoes. I love shoes but I hate buying them; in other words, I love looking at shoes on other people but I hate trying to find some for myself. In the past I have pretty much only worn the traditional Converse sneaker. This year I am opting for a more feminine look while sticking to the brand I love. Here are some options I am considering for this season.

Winning Losing

This week's challenge was to create an outfit out of recycled car parts. I like these challenges because it shows how innovative people really are and they always come up with some fun stuff. Thankfully, Keith got the boot this week. Man, that guy was buggin'. He thought he was the victim whenever the judges had some criticism; I'd like to see him make it in the industry with that kind of attitude!


Speaking of attitude, the Kenley girl is not-so-nice. She claims to have been really good friends with Daniel but 2 weeks ago, when everyone was on the runway she totally laughed out loud when he said he had classic taste. And almost every week she says, "I'm really concerned with (insert name)" and follows up with a comment about how their outfit stinks. She is so passive-aggressive but I bet she'll be around for a while.

Where on Earth is Christopher Michael?

If anyone has seen him can you tell him I miss him and he needs to come home before 10:00pm once in a while? I have been husbandless this week and I don't like it one bit! Chris hasn't come home before 12:00am a single time this week, the latest night being around 3:00am. I complain because I get lonely but poor Chris is trying to function on just a few hours of sleep everyday. I hope he knows how much I appreciate his hard work. I love him and miss him very much!

Dragtastic!

I will admit that this episode of Project Runway had me squirming in my seat a few times because I felt awkward but watching these ladies walk down the runway made me laugh pretty hard. This episode was all about designing an outfit for drag queens and it was a very interesting challenge. Here are the best and the worst of this week's challenge.

Here is a clip of all the ladies hitting the runway. Some of them have so much personality that I couldn't help but laugh. You can skip the first third of this clip to get to the good stuff.

Santa Barbara

We had a fun weekend up in Santa Barbara visiting Chris's grandparents and mom. Saturday afternoon we walked around the harbor and wharf during the Fiesta celebration and had lunch with Chris's uncle and another family friend. When we walked onto to pier we got to see these friendly sea lions. Chris and I considered getting one as a pet; they just look so friendly!

Sunday afternoon we took a walk to the pond near Chris's grandparent's house and ran into these feathered friends. We've been here before so we came prepared with bread crumbs. The geese had no problem coming right up to us and opening their mouths just waiting for a handout, but I tried to favor the duckies since the geese looked like they had their fair share of food.

Find Your Style

My sister and I have been talking about interior design lately, which has inspired me to pin down my design style a little more. I have been browsing some websites like Elle Decor and House Beautiful to help me in the process. Currently, I think my style falls into the cottage/contemporary fields. These are some of the rooms I either like entirely or like elements of.

SYTYCD Top Ten

Surprise, Comfort is back. I actually heard before the show that Jessica was injured and they brought back Comfort. As much as I don't like Jessica I thought she deserved to be there more than Comfort. And an even bigger surprise is that Comfort didn't get the boot this week! Kherington got the least votes and I am truly sad. Granted, Kherington's two-stop performance was pretty terrible, I just didn't see that coming. Chris and I knew we would be sad no matter what boy left; we love all the boys but we had to say goodbye to Gev. These were my favorites from Wednesday.


Pas de Deux with Katee and Will was really beautiful. Yes, they did mess up in the beginning but it was still a great performance.


Contemporary with Chelsie and Gev choreographed by Sonya. I am really liking Sonya; she is quirky and I did it.


Rumba with Courtney and Joshua. These slow dances aren't always my favorite but they did a wonderful job.
