I don't know about anybody else, but I love Free People clothing especially the summer fashions. I've had this Free People dress for about three years now and these Kenneth Cole Reaction sandals for at least that long. The Murph asked why I would want to get a picture of me wearing the sandals since they weren't new. I couldn't believe he actually said that because it just set him up for all kinds of new shoe arguments. I mean when a woman of her own free will is wearing three + year old shoes (gladly and proudly) instead of going out and buying new ones, a man should be smart enough not to say anything but maybe, "Hey! Great shoes!! I LOVE them! Are they new???"
See what I mean?
Dress - Free People
Shoes - Kenneth Cole Reaction (old) :)
Bracelet - David Yurman - find similar here
Sunglasses - Oakley (last photo)
The pool is looking much better after several rounds of algaecide, lots of other chemicals and some vacuuming. It's still not up to the Running Nazi's standards, but she won't know if she doesn't get to see it. Right?
Moving onto another very important subject, I have finally found a red wine that I can drink that does not trigger migraines. I have never been able to drink red wines, especially aged red wines because of this problem and have stayed with white wines, mostly Rieslings. The guy at the local liquor store, who we call the "Beer Guy" turned me on to this one. It is very light, sweet, I love it and it's just a mere $6.19! Seriously though, I wanted to switch to reds for health reasons (of course). Who wouldn't want the anti-aging benefits of resveratrol found in red wines? Even cheap red wines!
You can find it here.
As I was trying to find the best spot take a picture of this oh so classy bottle of wine, I didn't notice a certain other something in both of the photos. I moved the bottle from the counter to the table and somehow the demanding cat ended up in both pictures. He's a fast, sneaky little bastard who fully appreciates a cheap bottle of red wine. And kitty Party Mix.
The Beer guy told me I probably wouldn't want to tell any of my wine snob friends that I drink this stuff so if you should want to try it, I would suggest the same for you.
It's our little secret!
Ha ha indeed! Love the cat's stare:)
ReplyDeleteYea, that cat's stare is just a little evil! lol
DeleteOh, how cute are you!
ReplyDeleteLOL Thx!
ReplyDeleteFree People is definitely looking good lately and that outfit is killer! Some of my favorite clothes are the ones that I have had forever. Hence the reason that I have had them forever.
ReplyDeletep.s. love the pic of your kitty staring down the glass of wine.
Love Free People! I usually end up having my favs and wearing them out and totally neglecting everything else.
DeleteSuch a cute dress. Love the white on you.
ReplyDeleteCadence has the Evil Eye...
Sulfites in wine could be the cause of your wine-induced headaches, as it is hard to find wine in the US without this preservative. Cheaply made wines often have more of the stuff. I learned a tad about sulfites from a former South African wine-maker. It's my understanding that all commercial wines made in or imported to the US must contain sulfites by law. In the BVI we had no trouble finding wine w/out sulfites because the laws there and elsewhere are not as paranoia-driven as the US. (It's that "everything can hurt you, let's add preservatives to protect everyone!" mindset.)
Interesting article I ran across says: "Consumption of sulfites is generally harmless, unless you suffer from severe asthma or do not have the particular enzymes necessary to break down sulfites in your body." True or not, it may be worth researching. Here's the link: http://www.thekitchn.com/sulfites-in-wine-necessary-or-100878
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. I looked at the wine bottle and it does have sulfites in it even though it is made in Italy.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress AND the 3+ year old shoes!
