It was “WOW” at first sight, when I stumbled upon the above Hide Wedges on Oysho. That “WOW” quickly turned into “WAH,” with the realization that the shoes aren’t readily available to Americans. Aren’t they beautiful? I guess you win some, you lose some.

I’ve been a fan of A Softer World for quite some time. I saw the above strip today and thought I’d share some favorites from the site that I’ve collected over the years.

Lately, my go-to accessory: button pins. I never got into the stud craze, but I’ll admit that I’ve been adding button pins in places where many would add studs, such as outerwear, bags, jeans and collars.
Watch my button haul video below. The first four pins were purchased at a Brian Jonestown Massacre gig ($0.25 each or 4-for-$1), and the other four I bought at a local boutique called Frances Vintage ($1 each).
Because pins are inexpensive and versatile, I know I’ll be adding a lot more to my collection. I won’t be satisfied until I have a “Sick Sad World” button.
Do you accesorize with button pins?

Let the record show that I am NOT looking forward to the summer heat, but if I have to deal with it (I do), I’d like a few things…
1. Joy Division Unknown Pleasures tote bag, $15.99 via SoYouThinkYouCanRock. Nice big bag for day trips and small adventures downtown.
2. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Tops in taupe, milk or white. I’ve been wanting a pair of high-top sneakers for the longest and this picture (via TwoKools) made me want them even more!
3. Floppy Summer Hat, $38 via American Apparel (pictured is Mocha color).
4. Photorito Lens Wrap, $20 via Photojojo. Now that I have more than a kit lens, I need something to carry lenses and this is far cooler than my camera bag.
5. Salvador Dali in Voluptate Mors 1951 tank dress, $15.99 via SoYouThinkYouCanRock. This would be great for the warmer days, paired with a colorful, lightweight cardigan.

Let me start by saying: I love sandwiches. To such a great degree that I find it hard to believe there are people who do not like sandwiches.
While browsing Tumblr, which is heavy on “food porn,” I ran across a recipe for a guacamole grilled cheese sandwich.
I had most of the ingredients in the kitchen and so the decision to make the sandwich was an easy one. The result, even without lime juice (I opted for lemon juice) and jalapeño, was delicious.
I cut up fresh cucumber and asparagus to munch on the side. Yummy, healthy food that is quick and easy to make? Yes, please!

As a woman who rarely wears make up – foundation (never) and concealer (occasionally) – keeping my skin in good condition is important. Lately I’ve had a natural glow.
These are the five natural products that have done wonders for my skin:
1) Water! It’s very important to regularly wash your face. I do so with a mild soap, a Dove beauty bar, to be exact. Also, it’s common sense, but drink at least eight full glasses of water a day.
2) Blueberries! This little fruit is packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. I eat a couple handfuls a day. The colder and fresher they are, the better.
3) Aloe Vera! I extract the pure gel from the plant (I have several growing in my yard) and use it as a face mask. Since doing this, my skin is noticeably softer. Aloe vera can also be used for cuts, burns, rashes, and consumed for internal health benefits (it’s a little too bitter for my taste).
4) Lemon juice! Lemon juice is great for spot treatment of blemishes. It’s a natural toner. Whenever I’m dealing with a stubborn blemish, I use a cotton swab to apply the juice to the area, at least twice a day. In no time, the blemish fades.
5) Olive oil! My trick is rubbing a dab of olive oil on my face every night before bed. I know it sounds scary, but it works! It can also be applied to areas that are prone to dryness, such as the knees and elbows.
These natural products work well for my super-sensitive skin, but they may not be the best for everyone. Before applying anything to your face, test an area of your skin to make sure you’re not allergic.
