New Year Odds and Ends

First mani of 2011: Essie Demure Vixen. Soon to be replaced by Wet n Wild Morbid.

New shoes! I've had my eye on these beauties for a while and just happened to spy them at the Clarks outlet on our way out of town for New Year's.

I like their sort of witchy, English boarding school headmistress vibe. I'm wearing them with this:

Drapey watercolor dress, Ann Taylor LOFT. Superpower ring, Rachel Roy. Oh, and you can see the Essie on my thumb in this shot. 

Coming up soon: More unhinged nail follies. Back in 2010, I ordered a mini set of four colors from the OPI Katy Perry Collection and a full-size bottle of the Black Shatter that should arrive soon. I also took advantage of Zoya's Facebook giveaway today and just ordered three FREE bottles from them, only paying shipping. From now on, I'm on a strict NO BUY I swear! Oh, that is until I find Milani Jewel FX Gems in stock somewhere...

And hopefully tomorrow I'll have my Things I Want to Do in 2011 list ready to post.

Hmm, what else? Excited about trying the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart! And I went to the gym today! Not sure if I could be more "New Year's" cliche...

Lastly, dear reader, is it wrong for me to love this bag? Tell me true.

Happy New Year!

Things I Accomplished This Week

1. Downloaded Tetris to my phone and henceforth stopped paying attention to reality.
2. Became the owner of a bright red "vintage" (called vintage because that's the only word for "used" on etsy) Coach drawstring bucket backpack thanks to some surprise Christmas money (thanks, Mom!). I'm looking forward to "accidentally" hitting unsuspecting strangers with it when I toss it back onto my shoulder.
3. Ordered FOUR pairs of the same pants from Old Navy in four different sizes. Will return three. This means my tush size is fluctuating at an alarming rate.
4. Fantasized about exercising, detoxing, going vegan (see number 3 above).
5. Had a kick-ass Christmas with my wonderful family!
6. Ordered more sample eyeglass frames. None of the first five made the cut.
7. Made Martha Stewart's macaroni and cheese and felt my life shorten a little while eating it.
