Heat & It's Ugly Effects

[EDIT: Had to scale down the pics, they were massive]
I need you to take a look at this picture and tell me what's wrong with it.

Alright, I totally set myself up for that. I mean, you're probably thinking, "where do I begin?" So, I'm not talking about my head looking about 5 sizes too big for my body - they don't call me *lollipop* for nothing. I doubt you missed that...I'm wearing....only one earring?!?
WTHeck???
So basically my cousin J called me on my Bberry, I've got a terrible habit of cradling the phone between my ear and my neck. So, 40 minutes into the convo I realize, this isn't going to be a short call. I tell her *hold a sec* and remove the earring from my right ear. I get back on the phone and another 40 minutes later, hang up. And walk out the door. I didn't realize I pulled this *gem* until we got home.
While we were out S snapped some shots. I'm not quite sure if a) he noticed or b) he thought I was trying to make a statement {I'm a dork???}...either way, at least he documented my bonehead move.

Apparently, I'm on a roll with mishaps this week, I blame the incredible heat, here's what else I did:

• Drove to Goodwill. Parked. Popped the trunk. Realized the bag of clothes I was donating....still at home.
  

• Almost bought an "Encouragement" card instead of an "Engagement" card.

Good thing I decided to read it over before rushing to pay or I would've handed the bride & groom-to-be a card that said,
"May you remember the Lord is with you at this difficult time."

My cousin and her fiance would have been utterly confused. I know I was.
"What kind of an engagement card is this???" I thought.
Oh, and they probably would've been *slightly* offended.

{OK, I have a slight obsession with this tee from Zara, in stores now. I'd wear it everyday if I could. It's so nice and loose. Bangles & necklace, H&M}

{Excuse the funky toes. I loved the horizontal pleating on this thrifted purple skirt. Shoes are from Brown's, bought online here}

Oh and I didn’t forget, the winner of the Love Hangover Tee is the lovely Clare at Clarabelle! Congratulations, gorgeous!

Happy weekend everyone!

p.s. Does the heat have any ugly effects on you, or am I all alone here?

Hi My Name is Ela...and I am a Shoeaholic.

I'm feeling mighty guilty about snagging some shoes late last year and earlier this year that I still haven't worn.

Seeing as the first step to changing is to admit you have a problem, I decided to share them with you...sorry, I'm not giving them away,
I just mean sharing with a post :)

Nude Booties - Zara
(because I thought I would wear them with everything)

Grey Boots - Zara
(because they're versatile - love that you can fold over the brown lining)

Brown Sandals I adore - LAMB
(because they're scrumptious)

Gladiators - Modern Vintage
(died for the metallic snakeskin and studs)

Navy Patent Ballerinas - Juicy Couture
(because I had an obessession with navy...and gold)

Patent Mary Janes - Tahari
(because they were blue...and the buttons called my name)

'Deluth' Sandals - Jessica Simpson
(fell in love with the zippers)


'Pttika' Rhinestone Buckle Kitten Heels - Nine West
poor things are not so photoghenic but are quite cute on
(got distracted by the sparkle)

Sequins, Rhinestones and Bows
(because they're fun)


'Betsie' Sandals - Arturo Chiang
again...much cuter on
(fell for the studs and zipper)

Brown Leather Pumps - Coach
if they look familiar, it's cause I have them in black patent, which I do wear
(comfy, classic and needed brown)

Patent Platforms - Zara
(um, just because)

In case you were wondering,
NO...my husband doesn't know.
Apparently he doesn't read my blog...only the comments, so...

It's one thing to buy a lot of shoes,
but a completely different story to buy shoes and not wear them.
Seriously, there's gotta be a cure.
Do YOU buy things and not wear them?

I will be wearing them, just haven't had the chance...or sorry, made the effort.

Just one more thing before I go...
