didn’t you learn that about me w/ the sequin sheath? 
but ugh, the serious pain I get in my foot has caused me to pay extra special attention to this product recommendation. In a nutshell, Yoga Toes are a soft and flexible foot stretcher. These are supposed to strengthen and help align your toes after being cramped in fancy heels and boots all day long.
The reason I’m particularly sold on the idea is that after my bunion (ewwwwwwwww and very painful) surgeries in high school–due to my genetic predisposition to have those bony wide toe knuckles–I was confined to these awesome ::insert sarcasm here:: shoe-boot thingeys with bandaging in between all my toes to align my foot while healing. My sister had it even worse, yuck!, but the bottom line is that post-surgery we felt so much better. Well ya, that was a major foot structure issue being repaired during the surgery but the aligning process post-chopup felt so good (in a weird way) and I really think that there’s something to this aligning effort that can help my short wide feet.
So keep your 4″ heels and boots in your fashion rotation, but be sure to let those tootsies have a break. Now should I order pink or green?

Bobbi Brown has done it again! The new fall metallics just came out this week and are starting to hit the beauty counters. Always noted for sticking to the mature neutral tones, Bobbi has delivered on her promise to provide pigment and shine for this Fall’s collection. Swoon, I think I’m in lurve but I’m going to try to sit this lemming out until post-DSS.
Been on my wishlist for 9 months now, hmmm…time to take the plunge since only MY SIZE is in stock? Sigh, no sale.
****updated 9/20: they both went back 
this dress is pretty fab but not accommodating to the non-flat chested, don’t say i didn’t warn you
Rumor has it that the BE final auto-delivery set is also shipping next week! Eeeek! All this make-up at once, I may have to eBay some of this away and take advantage of the discounted listing fees going on.

and on a side note, Pinkberry knockoff (SweetGreen in Georgetown) was deliciously amazing. Probably the only type of knockoff I allow in my life, but I definitely enjoyed the real yogurt flavor with blackberries, strawberries, and lady finger cookies on top Mmmmmm
Thanks to DCfabulous for pointing out that Georgetown’s SweetGreen finally opened up!
Somewhat like the story of Jamba Juice (go CalPoly!), SweetGreen is the story of 4 Georgetown grads that put their heads together to create a pretty cool and different (healthy) place to catch some grub.
DCfabulous’ review convinced us to check it out for dessert tonight
Here’s a little excerpt:
“I was there for the fake Pinkberry, not salad. I ordered the small, which included up to 3 toppings. I went the fresh fruit route and topped my fake Pinkberry with blackberries, strawberries, and mango.
First bite. Delicious. Second bite. Delicious. Third bite. Delicious. Fourth bite. Almost finished. I am all for portion control. But their sizes are ridiculous, especially when it costs $4. Sweetgreen’s small is about a quarter the same size as Pinkberry, for the same price. Next time, I will order the large, but for $6, it is a little ridiculous.”
I wonder if my dad has this, hmmmm. Photographers of the family must unite.
Anyway, I saw a little bit of what this program can do to RAW images and I really think this might provide some serious help to us beginners.
and a pretty cool blog that shows tips to using this program: LightRoom Killer Tips
