Could it all be so simple?

I'm a mixed bag of emotions today! Instead of going into it, I thought I'd leave you with this picture of a small indulgence from last night. Thank goodness for cupcakes & Sprite!

What about the way you love me?

This past Friday, I got to see one of my favorite singers in the ENTIRE WORLD! No, I seriously ♥ him like no other! (Well...maybe a few others but that's neither here nor there.) By him, I elude to the one & only Reverend Al Green! He was a part a concert series here that we have called Live at the Garden. When I bough the tickets, I had no idea what a great show that was in store. The event was sold out & the most diverse audience that I'd ever seen. Because it's outside & you have to get there early to jockey for prime position on the lawn, I forgot to get pictures. Here are just a few that I snapped on my BlackBerry while baking to a crisp in this crazy summer heat!

Our concert "neighbors" were some guys that drove from Nashville & they brought ribs!

Discreet photo FAIL!

If you know me, you know I'm anemic & keep a mean sock game for my cold footsies! LOL

Summer concert survival kit!

I've been on a bangles kick lately...these are my favs all stacked together!

Sweaty, tired, frizzy-haired & ready for Al to hit the stage!

Happy Hump Day!!

P.S. If you're an Al Green fan, then you recognize this post title as lyrics from his song Simply Beautiful! ;D

I D.I.Myself!

Last week, I was goofing off on the interwebz & catching up on Bloglovin' when I ran across an interesting D.I.Y by Leslie of FASHION du jour. Funny that I'd worn a skirt that was perfect for it just that day. Plus, I was attending a friend's engagement dinner this past weekend & it seemed like the perfect controlled setting to try it out. Check out some (unedited) pics I took after the dinner:

If you're interested in seeing how it's done, check out FASHION du jour's video here. My skirt/shirt was the AA interlock a-line skirt & was perfect for this. I added a tank underneath because I didn't want to flash anyone at dinner! Plus, it's hotter than monkey balls here and I hate feeling like I'm sweating through my clothes. Gotta keep it classy at all times!

*Trying* to hold my mule!!

I'm a love of all shiny things especially those that make you looked polished & proper! I've been wanting a [new] watch for so long and just haven't been able to find one that I would wear everyday...UNTIL NOW! I think I found the one that I really want. I blame it all on Cassie & her flouncing around Paris Fashion Week!

Eve & her apple tempting me!

Me test-driving the merchandise at Macy's

Now , I know that I don't NEED it but I sure as hell want it! It is an investment piece, RIGHT?!!?

Oh yeah, I'm not on twitter! Follow me!

Imperfect Prayers

Dear God,

It's me again! I left something out that last time we talked. Honestly, it probably wasn't really appropriate to mention it then. Let me stop rambling & get to the point of this because you're a busy man & I don't want to clog the main line. I was just hoping that maybe you could make sure that red lipstick is still hot once I get my braces off. PLEASE! I'm begging you! I've really tried to be good & stick to a nude lip with all of this shiny hardware in my mouth but it's getting really hard. I'm sure you remember my very first tube of red Fashion Fair lipstick. It was on point but definitely too much for a novice 7th grader like myself. Nontheless, I did by best to rock it even when I it was all smeared on my teeth & chin making me look like Courtney Love (post Kurt Cobain). And let's not even get started on how much of a disaster it was when it was time for band practice. Since then no other lipstick has captured my heart...UNTIL NOW! This is where Part Deux of this prayer comes in! Could you also make sure that MAC's Ruby Woo is not wiped off the face of the earth before I can get my grill completely in order? I know I'm not supposed to lust after things but I'm sure you would render this makeup marvel covetable! I promise that I will totally get it right this time & keep it classy with constant mirror checks. Ok, I'll let you get back to being your marvelous miracle working self! Keep it righteous!

Love Always,

T-Mack

The object of my affection! *sigh*

The result of a cancelled lunch date & nothing else for me to do!

I'm always going to want to blow your mind!

A sporadic trip to Anthropologie resulted in some cool finds & unexpected smiles!

I picked this up for my little sister for her apartment back at school.

Originally, grabbed this coffee table book for a birthday/going-away present for a friend but snagged one for myself. Just too irresistible of a deal & cutesy factor!

And now the stuff that makes me tingly & gitty to read:

Found this in the Book of Birthdays & I couldn't have written it better myself!

And look at the fortune for my name (Tiffany)!

And just for the heck of it, here's a shot that I snapped of my outfit in the dressing room! Sadly, i didn't get the dress hanging in the background. Bummer but my hair is great!


This song always brings a smile to my face! I'd like to believe it was written especially for me!
