Pure Insanity!

So..This week I've officially re-started (I started it 2 times before and only made it to workout 3) Shaun T's Insanity workout.





I've done P90X and I gotta say, I love Tony Horton to death, but Insanity is exactly what the name says it is. I'm wondering how long it took the people in the video to be able to do those HIIT- High Intensity Interval Training for those who don't speak "Workout"- back to back like they do. I'm dying over here, however I am SO determined to get into shape by March because if The Arnold is coming back to Ohio next year I wanna be there.. looking good!

A Rise Above

Picture this.. the coldest of winter days, snow about 2.5 feet deep, a lil icy and slippery, however you just don't wanna break out the functional snow boots, and you passed up the multi-colored Tommy's.  You could step outta the house in these.

I was browsing Nastygal.com and stumbled upon these Josh Buckled Shearling Boot by Dolce Vita. Are they not my perfect color? And how cool are the buckles really!! I love that it still has the hiking boot sole so you get better traction on a wet day, but I guess the heel height (4.35") doesn't exactly add to their safety factor.

All in all they are still a beautiful boot. For $245.00 a pop however... I may wait til a sale.  http://www.shopnastygal.com/products/new/clothing/shoes/Josh-Buckled-Shearling-Boot.html

So Beautiful

I recently saw Adam Hurst and his Gypsy Cello play at my county's Witches Ball Festival. I was entranced and amazed. Definitely up my alley. I should've bought a cd. Soon...soon.

The Call of the Celts

I'm posting this one for... FFFFRRRRREEEEEEDDDOOOOMMM!!!!!  Was Willam Wallace even Celtic??  All I know for is ths Fob-ulous necklace from Modcloth.com appears t  be.

I've never been one for elaborate necklaces. Lord knows I didn't hop on the bib-necklace trend, but this one is kinda special. For something that is such a bargain price at $27.99 it really looks

like it cost so much more.  From the image provided by the website the gold doesn't

look like it was spray painted on aluminum.

I also really dig the fact that it is actually a watch and not just a pendant making it timeless and giving it heirloom quality.  My only gripe it that it is such a large piece. I would rather it small and dainty but how can you go wrong with something so damn pretty!

I Love The 80's!

My My...Talk about the ultimate 80's boot. 

These Dynamite Booties are courtesy of Lulu's.com.  Who...well many people don't love all things 80's but I am not one of those people.  These boots take me back to all my favorite movies.  From Valley Girl to Just One of the Guys. Fortunately for someone these boots are only available in a size 6 and are going for only $68.00.  Bring out your inner Jennifer Beals as Alex Owens in Flashdance and own it!

Oh My My!

I've never been one to hop on the fringe bandwagon.  I always thought it looked too "hippie/ I haven't washed my hair in weeks" -like,  but this Portola Sweater Wrap from Billabong has swayed me otherwise.

Despite my...about 25% Native American background I didn't see myself sporting anything this cultural either.  I am in love with this wrap!  The design, the colors, the pockets and yes... even the fringe.  I'm all over this one!

$79.00 @ Lulus.com
