going gray
Saturday was a gray day, here in Tuvalu.
It was warm and cloudy and it rained a few times - and I ran out of Sweettarts and I got an email from Anthropologie which whetted my appetite for some silvery gray things.
Aren't these lovely?
Indeed they are. But I cannot imagine walking around town with pearls on my shoes. In fact, the very idea of looking down and seeing pearls on my shoes whilst running around the office makes me smirk.
What about this pillow?
Pretty?
Yes, but I'm not buying any pillows.
Oooooooooooooh!
Meanwhile, I had been contemplating a pair of these
because my rain boots are full of cracks and holes. I'm having a hard time figuring them out though. Those ^ look too shiny to me. Can anyone tell me if they are available in shiny and not-so-shiny? Because these
don't look as shiny.
And this is exactly the way I'd wear them -
Anyway, back to the Anthromail...
Crazy Beautiful Gray Shoes.
Flutteringly Lovely Gray Dress.
HEY, WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?*
Stunning Gray Top Which, I Think, Only Looks Good On Her, Doing THAT.
I'm so smitten with the whole email that I find myself drawn to The Miner's Bottle though I have no idea WHY it is called a Miner's Bottle and no clue what I'd do with it.
So.
It was kind of gray here on Saturday.
*While researching new eyeglasses for K, we checked to see what kind of glasses Mr. Clapton wears as K has a similar facial structure and hairline. K is ordering small, round, wire-framed glasses, fyi.

I am struggling with the concept of you wearing Wellies. What would you do in them in Tuvalu? Anyway - if they are to be used in the mud and the rain as they are traditionally used in this country - they will not stay shiny for long.
And the boots, too.
EL - I've heard you are SO thin that one cannot imagine you EVER eating ANYTHING.
I had a pair of royal blue leather in the same style - oh so many, many years ago...they were perfect for this flapper-y dress I used to be able to fit into.
(Of course, Anthro's take on them is a lot more Deborah Turbeville Ghosts-of-Versailles than the Isaac Mizrahi Belgian loafer-look-alikes I bought.)
EL: Yes, I did it. I outed you. SO thin I believe Frau Mueller is simply a fairy tale to let us all crave pastries and gain lots of weight while you walk, exercise, Dance, skate, run and ultimately LAUGH about us all. Grunt.
On a totally different subject:
I WANT to meet Poppy. Now.

Gray here today, too.
Get the Wellies. I am splurging on a pair this autumn too. In Chocolate, though.

This is why you women fascinate me. You said the pearls on your shoes would make you smirk yet the shoes with, what is that, a Brazil nut, on them - and nothing! No smirk, no LOL, nothing!?! I'm flummoxed.
BTW, a miner's bottle is what you keep your gold nuggets in.
Yo, my secret word is mated!
I was lusting after those grey shoes too (the second ones, not the pearl ones) but then read Poppy's comment which gave me pause.
