Good morning, and happy Caturday to ya!
Guess what? Corsages are still a thing (just in case you were wondering). I haven’t thought about corsages since my high school prom. I just assumed they’d be out of fashion, but they’re not! — and you can still get them at floral shops. I found this out yesterday while looking for a corsage for Connor to wear to her school’s father-daughter dance. A local flower shop in town (Morning Glory Florist) made her a pretty custom corsage with pink roses.
She and El Hub danced the night away.
So I had a rare Friday night to myself. Originally, I was going to chill on the couch and veg with an episode of “The Dropout,” but I treated myself to a trip to Nordstrom Rack and a pair of casual tennis shoes instead.
These are the Winklace sneakers by Dr. Scholls, and they’re like clouds on my feet!
Years ago, I had a pair of Dr. Scholls flats and wore them practically into the ground. I loved them, but they didn’t last long — about a year or two, tops. I’m anticipating this new pair will have a similar shelf life. I’d much rather buy shoes that last, so if you know a brand that makes comfy, cute shoes that last for years, please let me know.
This week’s reading

I’m totally watching this.
Maybe Connor and I will go here someday!
What is going on here?
YES.
I’m going to need all these tools.
Build that muscle!
Love it!
Drop that knowledge.
What are you up to today? Got any time to relax?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Love the hula hoops!
I did some errands this morning, but then I took a nap with Hettie and Jiji. The dramatic weather changes here are killing my sinuses. I might try to box some stuff up for our upcoming move this evening though.
Those Dr. Scholl’s are cute! I’ve been doing high tops for the ankle support.
Happy Saturday Karen! Had to make a run to Ulta. I read your post yesterday about the Pattern hair products. I’ve always been curious about the brand, so I picked up the travel size Hydration Shampoo. I also picked up the Sun Bum Scalp and Hair Mist. I’ve been looking for a spf product that you can spray on your scalp.
Looks like Connor had a great time!
What is going on in this NKOTB video? I am not ready to see them like that!
Love Connor’s father/daughter dance! The prom gals these days (at least in these parts) wear wrist corsages, which is so much easier than pinning them on. No such luck for the fellas, though. 🙂 Amalfi is awesome, and I’ve always loved Let’s Groove. I’ll be there, after a while, if you want my love…. we can boogie… on DOWN. 😉
