Baby Dinosaurs

I had my driveway edged in red bricks, since that matches part of the trim on the house. But Doc and I are not the best drivers, so after repeatedly running over them, most were broken. So we replaced them with dinosaur eggs - 6" grey rocks.



That looks a lot better. That night, Wednesday, November 21, it poured rain. Yay !! It has been so dry here for so long. Here is the sunset that night, just before the downpour.


So let's go back to November 14th, and what I have been wearing .


This is my new Tom Ford dress. I love it. It's so unique and flattering. This time, I wore it with plain black tights.


I went with all blue aurora beads and bracelets. In this close up, you can see the mesh panels.


The next day, my other Tom Ford. This gave me another chance to wear my lavender Sam Edelman shoes.


When I bought them, I didn't realize how many things they would go with - they look like a slightly different color, depending on what they are paired with,


The shorter necklace is opal, and the longer one is moonstone and amethyst.


On Friday, I went for complete comfort with this pirate style dress from Nine West.



I wore my gold leather Calvin Klein belt and a costume crystal link necklace with it.


On Monday, it finally started to cool down. I wore a vintage tan leather pencil skirt with a tan Joseph A sweater.



It has green and brown stones embellishing the V neckline. The statement necklace is also green and brown and I got it at the hospital gift shop. My belt is from Paloma Picasso.


On Tuesday, I wore a vintage sweater and skirt set that I got from EBay.


I paired it with all sapphire and diamond jewelry and my black suede BCBG boots.


I also got my two cosmetic samples. From Birchbox:



From top to bottom:
1) Davines Alchemic Shampoo and Conditioner in Silver - it's purple and is designed to prevent yellow tones in silver or blonde hair.
2) Love of Color Glow Squad Quad single - in the foil packet. It's a bright pink shade that can be used on both lips and cheeks.
3) Marcelle Xtension Plus Curl Mascara - I needed one. I had one from Clinique, but it somehow dried out.
4) LXMI Creme du Nil - made with a rare Ugandan ingredient called Nilotica Reserve. It's supposed to make the skin plump and radiant - good for the face, but bad for the butt.


Then, my Ipsy bag came - it's purple with black hearts on it.


 It had Dermadeli Pumpkin Seed Serum and MAC Strobe Cream

Also Helios Beauty cream to powder eyeshadow in deep plum and Ciate setting powder.


And finally, Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - Oribe is one of my favorite brands.


Well, next time I shall tell you about my Black Friday escapades - one hint, there was no shopping involved. See you soon !!
