Moody Style: Laboring Away

Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day.  I hope that everyone had fun and relaxing weekend.  Unfortunately for me, I had work today so I didn’t get to travel anywhere fun.  Now before you start feeling sorry for me, just know that I’m not totally broken up about the day.  I learned last week that I’m getting a floating holiday to use at my leisure, so I’ll still get a day off.  I’ve already decided that I’m going to use it this Friday and I can’t wait.  I figure that at this point, I can’t complain too much about working this holiday.  I’ve only been working at this job a little over a month now.  And I’m just thankful to have a job period especially with so many people out of work right now. What did you do for Labor Day? Did you do anything fun?  I'd love to hear all about it in the comments.

Fresh Picks to Follow – Twinkle Toes

I have to admit something to you all.  Lately I’ve been obsessing over lots of shoes with glitter, rhinestones and sequins.  I’ve been checking out these shoes in the stores and on the Internet and I just haven’t grabbed a pair.  These days, you can easily find sparkly shoes made with glitter anywhere from $40 to 60 or more expensive shoes made with Austrian crystals anywhere from $500 to $3,000.00.  And even if you can’t afford to spend money on this shoe trend, there are plenty of DIY videos to help you customize your own twinkle toes. I don’t own a pair of any of these yet, but I’m definitely going to add a pair to my collection, even if I have to make a pair myself.  For this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 favorite shoes that sparkle.  Have any of you already incorporated this shoe trend in your closet?  Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Tossing and Turning

For some reason I’m having a little trouble sleeping tonight.  I wish that I can say that this is the first this has happened to me, but I can't.  It happens more often than I care to remember and it really sucks.  Right now it’s about 3am and I’m not sure why I’m awake and why I’m not the least bit sleepy.  It could be the fact that I took a quick nap earlier when I got home from work or because of the mini argument I had with my boyfriend.  I’m not sure what it is because I’ve experienced these two examples before and I’ve been able to fall asleep with no problem in the past.  What’s frustrating is that I’m going to be super exhausted all day especially since my alarm is scheduled to go off in a few hours.

Well my fellow bloggers, I figure that since I’m up, then I might as well post a picture of one of my outfits that I wore to work this week.  I wore one of my favorite skirts from Anthropologie – the aqua san pedro pencil skirt. It doesn’t look aqua in the picture, but trust me it is.  The lighting was a little off.  Have any of you suffered from a little insomnia from time to time? How do you get rid of it?  Do any of you do anything special to ensure that you have a restful slumber?  I would love to know, so this doesn’t happen again.  Let me know in the comments.
