Loves

Brilliance New York lipstick in Blaze. I splurged on this baby back in February, and I am so in love. It is bright and fun when first applied, and then fades to a pretty stain. Perfect for summer.

MWF Seeking BFF.  New city, 52 friend-dates. If I'd seen her blog while she was doing this project and if she lived in my city, I would totally have sent Rachel a fan email. As it stands, I did so anyway after reading the book (hey, she's coming to Miami next week...I have a shot, right?).

Cap-toed shoes. I'm considering DIYing one of my older pairs if I can't find a pair I like in my budget. Any ideas on how to paint leather or faux leather?

    I love the idea of painting your own cap-toe shoes! Maegan at lovemaegan.com painted her own shoes awhile back, and I kept the link just in case! Good luck!!

    Great advice! Especially when it comes to silhouette.
    I notice in quite a few (so-called well dressed people) the lines of the apparel are not in harmony with the shape of the shoe.

    I just finished MWF Seeking BFF, and I loved it! I wished I had read it two years ago, before moving to my new city (but it was still great to read now, making new friends-wise, and entertainment-wise). I kind of want to be Rachel's friend too...

    (And I would love to see a cap-toed DIY!)
