Good morning angels! (Oh wow, I know…haha)

So last night while lying in bed I was thinking about the types of guys I tend to attract.  They’re usually fairly intelligent, if not neurotic, awkwardly funny, and on the short side—no big problem there since I’m hardly model-height myself.  Oh my God, did I just describe Woody Allen?  A little bitchier and with more of an affinity for snapping nude pics and just call me Scar-Jo ;) 

Here’s the thing though, I am attracted to these guys for one over-arching reason: self-preservation.  They tend to be more open, honest, and generally better communicators than the average 20 or 30 something.  Yea, right.  As I’m currently experiencing with Mr. Wonderful #...blahblah, this comforting quality, like looks and in his case HAIR, is fleeting.  That’s what I loved liked about you: if I was being a little crazy, you told me—in a sweet, you’re only young once/ live and learn kind of way.  And after all, I don’t judge you for all your shortcomings and flaws (not out-loud anyway).

TOPIC #2: Fluff of the Week::

Some things I can currently endorse: 

(1) Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe on the cover of October’s Vogue.

While I initially had my doubts when I heard she was going to be portraying arguably the most beautiful woman of all time, I have been made into a believer after looking through the magazine’s gorgeous spread.  Slide #5 is my favorite, backless dresses are so exquisite—backs are very sexy and under-rated.  My grandmother used to tell me that I had a pretty neck and I always thought that was such a weird compliment but now I get it.  Long, gently sloping necks and backs are the picture of old-fashioned elegance and grace.

(2) OPI’s mini sets at ULTA—namely the Touring America collection.

Too pricey to buy any and every shade, the miniature collections solve this problem by giving you enough for multiple uses in 4 bold and unique colors.  This is the perfect way to add to your inventory without breaking the bank, and as anyone who knows me will agree, I am a geography NERD so I very much enjoyed the cheese factor of the names.  I am currently wearing ‘Honk if you love OPI’ (a luxurious plum) on one hand and ‘French Quarter for your thoughts’ (my first experimentation with grey—can’t say that being named after my favorite city on the planet didn’t influence my decision somewhat…) on the other. 

            Now go pick your new shade:

(3) The Season Opener of SNL           

I am hardly Alec Baldwin’s number 1 fan; his name still elicits flashbacks of his manic tirade, wherein he called his 11-year-old daughter a ‘pig’—sweet parenting!  However, this episode still had some laugh-out-loud moments, and while the maracas were a bit much, Radiohead is always entertaining and innovative, obviously.  My choice for best skit of the night has to go to the Top Gun audition outtakes.  I don’t know how people think of this stuff, amazing.  Kudos.

Okay, that’s all for now.  Go enjoy this beautiful day!  I’m going home to walk Georgie, who, by the way, is the MOST loving puppy you’ll ever meet.  All she wants is to be held and cuddle…Carli’s sweetest Angel ;) See y’all next time!
