Doctors, Denim, and Deals...

Can you believe it’s already November? Pretty soon I'll be posting about the holiday rush or my knack for decorating Christmas Trees-- and between you and me, I totally rock at the 'more is more' style of decorating for Christmas.

But anyway. Monday was my first appointment with the new dermatologist at the swanky skin care center. I was very pleased with the facility and with the staff. The PA I saw was young and never once lectured me about my make-up wearing. After all, I'm 27 years old and if I want to wear make-up I will. But thankfully, she got down to business-- she listened to my story, examined my face, and she gave me her honest opinion. Surprisingly, she suggested that I try Accutane, sighting my mild to moderate acne should respond to that course of treatment over the topical treatments I've been trying. According to her, after a six month course I should be dealing with clear skin that is less oily-- which would be a welcome change from the ‘fried-chicken greasey’ skin I’ve been experiencing in the last few years!

In other news-- my birthday Joe's Jeans arrived today. I'm happy over all with them. I need to wash them so the dark dye doesn't bleed onto my furniture or other clothing. I can tell you-- for me, they ride a little higher than my 7's & Citizens ‘do, but I think the days of the super-low cut jeans are thankfully fading. I especially appreciate the quality of the denim—super, super soft—and I’m pleased with the shortened length. With a pair of 3 inch heels they are perfect for my 5 foot frame.

Moreover, today I managed to snag a J. Crew Lady Day Coat for less than $110 bucks! They are running an online special through today taking an extra 30% off (hurry). Smarty that I am—I saved up my last big J. Crew gift card from Christmas last year (thanks Mama & Daddy) and put it to the coat with the extra 30% off! And since it’s not final sale—if I end up hating it, which I doubt, I can always send it back.

I ordered it in the brown color as I have an array in several other colors.







Happy Hump Day!
