Why don’t you…
* Drink something different? Vodka and dry ginger ale? Merlot? Whisky on the rocks? Have a fabulous signature drink unlike anyone else?
* Buy you and your best lady matching jewels? Go to the markets and buy two matching wooden bangles? Two woven leather bracelets? Two jade rings? Take this quaint playground tradition and put an adult spin on it?
* Give things away? Those gorgeous sandals that you never wear because they make your feet hurt? That beautiful necklace that you bought but never wear because it’s just not quite right? That hat that doesn’t go with anything? Let go of the sentimental value and pass them on to someone who will love it AND wear it?
* Get regular haircuts? Every six weeks? Not only when you really need one?
* Allow yourself to buy anything that you desire but only if it is utterly perfect? A beautifully fitting cream dress? A deliciously slouchy grey wool hat? The ultimate chunky black wedges? Don’t settle for anything less than amazing?
* Wear a delicate charm on a very fine chain?
* Have a ridiculous amount of pillows on your bed? All different shapes and sizes? Put them in a pile, curl up like a cat and read a divine book?
Love Lady Smaggle

I tried a grapetini last night. It was not a pleasant experience. Think I’ll stick to my Bloody Mary, thanks!

That last one sounds amazing. I dream of being able to do that!

“Don’t settle for anything less than amazing”, I love this! I have a picture in my head of the perfect black stilettos, and I can’t bring myself to buy a pair that is even just kinda like them. I am waiting for the manifestation of this imagined pair to present themselves to me, and then I will make a purchase.

Giving things away is so good. My partner and I recently cleared the house from top to bottom, and the amount of things we had that we didn’t really want or need was insane. We have four big boxes of homewares/electrical goods etc., and two garbage bags of clothes to give away, and it feels really good to let those things go.

These are some of my favorite posts, so simple and so good at reminding me of the joy inherent in the littlest things!
My latest drink(s) adventures:
1) lemon vodka with ginger ale on the rocks – luscious!
2) orange juice concentrate/ice/vanilla vodka blended with a splash of Grand Mariner and a splash of peach schnapps. Frozen yum, tastes like a dreamsicle w/ a kick!xox,

Very fitting post. I’ve got a stack of things I need to find homes for. I also bought a delicious dress this past weekend that was a tad on the expensive side but it fit SO well I just couldn’t leave it.
