I guess there isn't a "Happy Rat Mom Day". Photo of Fred taken by Heather
And in other random bits from the past week.....
We welcomed two new groups of students to our graduate programs last week and this is what I wore to greet them. Really, how could they not feel welcomed with Hello Kitty? I found them on the sale rack at Forever 21 when I was in Toronto earlier in the week, and couldn't resist.
We've had some Spring-like weather lately, so inspired by flowers and budding trees I got out the purple and green. Clockwise from top left: silver bling from various sources, and bracelet purchased from Debra Rapoport; the summer madras plaid converse; my beautiful copper lady necklace found at Lovesick Vintage a couple of years ago.
It was even knee socks weather - ooooh, the delight of a warm breeze on bare knees!

I always look forward to getting a fresh 'do and last week my cool hair gal Melanie and I decided that dark pink and orange would be the summer colour combo (it matches my Krista necklace!) Then, on a whim, out came the curling iron and well, you can see from the photo above what happened. I have had straight hair all my life (except for that one terrible perm in Grade 13), so to suddenly have a tangle of pink and orange curls on my head made me so freaking happy - it doesn't take much, I tell ya. And yes, I bought my own curling iron this weekend.
Fab new hair! Love the color and the curls.

Hello! Why does this close-up remind me of Lucy? Is it the redish (dark pink and orange) curls or the lovely Lucy lips?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LUCY.

Your hair looks amazing! Really cool, Shelley - but then you are one of the coolest women I know! Love the black Hello Kitty outfit, and your rings and especially the pendant are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFred is such a cutie - she needs a Rat's Day all of her own! xxx
Fabulous outfit and curls!
ReplyDeletePink and orange with curls! You have discovered the summer hair to live for and I love it. I also adore the 'black and white with a touch of red' ensemble that greeted the new students. They must surely know that they've come to the right graduate program with you as a part of their life.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a Fred photo!
Your hair!!! Gasp! I LOVE IT!!! Very fetching, darling!
ReplyDeleteI am also crazy for your Hello Kitty tights-indeed, who wouldn't feel welcomed by you in those?!, and that pendant is divoon!
