Useful Dog Tricks

I love this video! Jesse's mom uses modern positive reinforcement techniques like the ones I use and love so much. And listen to this: with a little time, patience, love (and treats!) most dogs can learn to do pretty much all of the behaviors he demonstrates. The best part? When given the opportunity, dogs really do enjoy getting to use their minds and bodies... it's fun!

Old Navy Cross Front Jersey Dress Review



Although they're meant to be normal dress-dresses, I've been using these supercheap, little 100% Cotton Old Navy dresses as comfy nighties, instead. They remind me of some of the really pretty chemises Anthropologie makes, just a gazillion times less expensive. I bought both the purple and coral floral print versions and plan on snoozing in them as much as possible this summer. The details:

*Adjustable straps
*Tagless for comfort
*Machine washable, 100% cotton jersey
*Runs a little small (so maybe consider sizing up?)
*Falls between midthigh and knee (get the Tall version if you like things longer)




Cute, right?

Style Muse: Yvette Mimieux




Yvette shared the same birthday as Elvis (January 8, 1942.) She loved wearing big, bold statement pieces; most often necklaces and hats. Besides being an actress (Weena, anyone?), she was also an anthropologist!

PSA: Clinique Bonus Time Spring 2011



Fun Girly Stuff News: Did you know that it's Clinique Bonus Time at Macy's? It's scheduled to end Saturday, April 23. You only have to spend $21.50 (I highly recommend the Black Honey Almost Lipstick. Lovelovelove that stuff!) and the free bonus time gift this time around is sort of awesome. I got mine yesterday, and it includes:

A really pretty Medium Pink Floral Print Fabric Cosmetic Bag
A matching Small Floral Print Fabric Cosmetic Bag
Lash doubling Mascara in black
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
Take the Day Off Eye Makeup Remover
Compact Rose Wine Eye Shadow Duo and Soft-Pressed Pink Blush
Lipstick & Gloss Duo in Think Bronze and Air Kiss

I chose the pinks collection, but you can also choose a plums kit, which has eye and lip colors that are more plummy.

Free things are good...
