Who's around?

[NachoProblem]

I've been drinking... and I'm tired of the dramz here. Can we talk about wine, boots, and/or nail polish?

[vampsterdam]

I'm here! Usually I'm not around at night, but today I am!

Which wine are you drinking?

And... What fashion trends are you excited for fall?

[bimbi284]

Took a study break, got caught up on the dramz (DAYUM, btw), and just want to say I love you all for the glittery good lucks you've sent my way!

I can't wait until I can play again for real!!!

[NachoProblem]

Renata - sorry no beer for you Do you just want something carbonated?

Fall trends - I'm just excited not to be sweaty anymore haha. I'm planning on doing some major damage at the outlets this weekend (tax free weekend! woot!). I'm in search of a leather moto jacket, cobalt pants, cognac slouchy boots, some new camis for layering... big things, big things. Anything on anyone else's radar?

[Dory1988]

Hi, I intro'd here when TN had the exodus. Life kind of got in the way since I had recently started a new job. Can we consider this my re-intro mid role call thread? I probably won't OOTD since I wear scrubs most days and, well, I doubt that's much of a fashion statement but, hi again.

[NachoProblem]

Hey FMFwife! Stick around! I don't OOTD either because I work in a lab and only wear things I don't mind destroying...

Just killed a bottle of cheap wine. H is on his way home with dinner.

I'm playing with my OG and stalking the progress of my nail polish rack (which is being sent by turtle...I mean USPS).

[NachoProblem]

Laura - what's a nail polish rack?

Nice! I bought cobalt colored denim a few weeks ago and I'm debating a faux leather peplum top but it's on back order until end of October! Boo.

I keeping seeing all the magazines/websites pushing "baroque" clothing, but all the pictures are too editorial...so not sure how this "big trend" will translate in real life. I'm just thinking no thanks, pass.

[Laura Palmer]

Thanks. I was almost afraid to put it there -- that it might offend someone, but it makes me laugh. And I don't laugh enough (few people do).

Only two more days until you can get yo party on lady. I'm sure you'll do great on your test.

I'm here and bored out of my mind. DS is asleep and DH is out "showing" a friend a car. In the dark. ^o)

Nata-You poor thing. I hope you get to feeling better.

[futurepivko]

I'm here, I just had some cherry jack and limeaid, whoot! My reward for working about 3 hours from home

Cab those boots will look awesome w leggings, jeans, and dresses. Me gusta.

thanks! They were on sale, and my last pair need to retire. H is going to have a FIT when all these packages come in the mail :/ whatevs.


Ditzy, I bought my car at night, if it makes you feel better <3

This is why I feed my online shopping addiction when DH is deployed...and then I buy him a few things too so he continues to let me do it.

[NachoProblem]

Renata - have you been thinking about maternity style yet? Anything you're planning on picking up for the fall/winter months?

[billysgirl07]

I'm here, just finished watching the Pirates game (go Buccos!) and am cleaning out my purse.

Fun times.

[glitzyglow]

It's been an emotional day, so I'm just lounging around tonight not doing much of anything.

I saw this pinned the other day and I must recreate this outfit for fall. I love it.

[bimbi284]

Proof that there very well may be a God, and that he loves me (and maybe that I'll actually pass this exam on Friday?):

I already had 3 margaritas at dinner and feel fat. I could use some distraction.

I'm here bc I can't get out of bed and function like a human being. All of a sudden my body decided to hate me and I can't move 2 inches w/o barfing

And the only thing that sounds appetizing is a beer.

I'm truly sorry you feel like shit and that sucks, but this made me LOL.

Hautelook has mini Orly polishes for $2.50 each.

This post is making me want to drink, so I just asked DH to make me something that has Malibu Rum.

Hope all is ok, glitzy. That is a cute outfit!

Ditto this. Tomorrow is a new day!

[Laura Palmer]

I want to buy boots and wear fall sweaters. But I'm sweating in a tank top today. :-(

To the person who asked, a nail polish rack is this (at least, the one I ordered):


I'm planning on hanging it in my home office behind the door so I can see the colors I have. My polish storage right now is pitiful and only leads to my buying more.

I am whiny.

[glitzyglow]

Thanks Cab and Billysgirl. It's sweet of you to offer up good wishes to a stranger. Long story short: ex-husband of 8 years had a destructive, horrible affair and ruined me financially (and what feels like emotionally). What would have been our wedding anniversary is next week and it's my first would-have-been-anniversary post-divorce. I hate what he did and I hate that I miss him.

I actually was thinking of making a nail polish rack. I don't even know how I planned on it, but I thought about it. I think I need to just buy one, lol!

[Laura Palmer]

Glitzy -- I watched a youtube tutorial how to make one (found it on pinterest). I'm lazy and figured I'd rather buy it. But along the same lines, I'm too lazy to look it up. So I'm sorry...but s/b fast to find if you look it up on pinterest!

Girl used foam board or something.

Lol, why did I even think to make it? It's 2012, I can buy anything! But my brain was all, "Hey, you should make a nail rack. You can paint it and everything!" I can paint a store-bought one, too. I have no tools or anything to make one!

[billysgirl07]

Yes, lots of hugs to you glitzy!

What a jerkface. I hate him for you.

[glitzyglow]

Thanks ladies. I had to see him tonight for some money he owed me and he handed me the ring I wore in our wedding (I didn't realize I had left it in the safe; it's made from sapphires that came from my deceased grandmother's favorite ring) and he had sad eyes and was all, "I love you and I would do anything to change everything."

I wish I had loads of money to go on a shopping spree to ease my pain! Although tomorrow I am going to treat myself to either a Stila lipgloss trio or the UD eyeliner in 1999. Choices choices.

I'm so sorry. That sucks, but I'm also soooo glad that you got your ring back since it has such sentimental value.

Divorce sucks. I remember the day probably just three months after my divorce when my ex came to my office to deliver money that was waaayyyyy overdue (I had to file a motion for contempt to even get him to address the issue of the money he owed me) and dude was wearing a shiny new wedding ring. Three months after our divorce. LOL. I facebook and google stalked and found that he married a chick he had known for EIGHT WEEKS.

Just remember that there is a reason they are our exes. They are shitheads and don't deserve us. As time goes on, this will become more and more clear to you and you will feel increasingly confident in where your new life without him is heading.

My ex ended up divorcing the new wife as well, and remarried again - to a woman he knew for only a couple of months. He is deeply fucked up, and sadly now has an innocent child with the most recent wife who now has to deal with a screwed up father.

And get the Stila lip glaze trio. I love their lip glazes. And then get one or more NYX Slide On eyeliners, which are just as good as the UD eyeliners for a fraction of the price.
