Several months ago, I had a rather glamorous Thursday. I even took pictures of it and subsequently promised to blog about it later. The glamorousness sort of faded as time went on. However, I still have the pictures, and I think I'll try to revisit what lingering glamour is left by finally blogging about it now. That's a good way to celebrate on of
the most uninspiring, un-glamorous, UNmotivated weeks I've had in my entire life. (That week is happening right now.)
Mmmmm. Butter London paintnolish. :)
One of the best things about Glamorous Thursday was that I was able to ignore the impossible mess around me and just enjoy my day with Alexander and his blessed smiles and naps.
A robe from a thrift store might not seem the most glamorous thing to be wearing all day, but it
is when the tag says two special words: Neiman Marcus. And I any day where you see the word "vogue", no matter where, becomes a little less mundane.
Oh, here's the mess. A small part of it, only. I guess I thought it was glamorous too. It sort of is, isn't it?
Red lipstick adds a lot to your day sometimes. Especially if it happens to be Chanel.
I know Alexander seems to think so...
And I also know that I got the inspiration that day to paint my bedside table mustard yellow and avocado green. It was a great day. I don't know when I'll be inspired to have another glamorous Thursday, but I hope it will be soon.

LOVE this!!! What thrift stores do you go to? I would love to go with you sometime....I've never been!!
Carrie-- thanks! The robe is from Castaways, the thrift store I grew up going to in my hometown. :) Here, I go to Treasure City Thrift (@ E 7th and Robert J Martinez), St. Vincents on South Congress, Top Drawer Vintage (on Burnet and 50-something) and Savers on Burnet just a little north of Top Drawer. :) Since they're all so far south I haven't gone much since A was born, but we should try to go!
The last picture made me LOL. Really it did. I want to steal it and use it, but I won't because stealing is illegal/not nice.
P.S. I miss you
lol Nay! You can have the pic if you want. :) :) I know, it's so funny isn't it, because he sort of looks less than pleased, but like he's bearing it patiently. It's good to be back on blogs these days! Miss you too!!
