Zuzu is in dire need of a new collar and I was thinking about getting her this LV Baxter collar {yes, I am serious} even though no one will be able to see it because she's so hairy. Maybe. Maybe. Almost-on-the-verge-of-ordering-it-tonight maybe {Except that Nicky is adamantly against it, but that shouldn't stop me. Right?}. She's such a good dog. She deserves something nice and I don't mind spending the money on her.

...{Friday}...

We had big plans for Friday: grab some food to-go from Sentry then picnic at {where else?} Picnic Point. Well...it didn't quite happen that way. I wanted to leave a little early from work to give us enough time to enjoy our picnic before the sun set...but that wasn't possible {very important things needed to be done...like finishing my beer at my desk}. We then decided to just go to Tenney Park, but that didn't happen either {Nicky took a "slight" detour and we realized it wasn't convenient to go in that direction anymore}. 

So, finally, we ended up at the Washburn Observatory just when the sun was setting. It was nice...until Zuzu went poopie and then stepped in it. {Needless to say} Nicky was not happy, because she had to sit in the back seat of his car with one poop smeared paw. It.was.hilarious.

...{Saturday}...



{A very nice older lady took the picture of all three of us, but it took her 5 minutes to figure out which button to press on Nicky's camera.}



Saturday was all about college football (Wisc vs. San Jose State - Wisconsin won, of course), but we were able to sneak away for a little bit to give Zuzu a walk on the trail. I love football season {can't wait for NFL Sunday! - Did you see Favre's sour face on Thursday? It was awesome.}. As much as I wanted to root for the Saints last year, I am a die-hard Colts fan so there was no doubt about who I wanted to win. Too bad they lost, but it was nice seeing the city of New Orleans celebrate their win {and boy can they throw a party}.



Oh, and we also had some drinks at the Great Dane {I got Nicky hooked on Mojitos}.



{Plus: I was able to wear my new Alice + Olivia Dress and use my Damier Azur Pochette.}



...{Sunday}...



Sunday = Football. Need I say more? Find us on the couch.



Hope you had a great weekend, too!



{I'm on a photo montage kick (if you haven't noticed). Putting these together was actually fun, so let's see how long this lasts...}

You write such {pretty} words, but life's no storybook.

{No one does the 3.1 Phillip Lim dress & Louboutin combo better.}

Commence loud squealing...now.

I am looking forward to:

...finally, finally getting my jeans hemmed {it will happen this weekend}...



{7 For All Mankind "A" Pocket Flare in Nikita (not to get confused with my Lexie and Cozumel A-pockets which are in a very convenient petite size)...I've been wearing these anyways even if they are too long. Ugh, I just keep buying more pairs without getting the previous ones hemmed. My new favorite brand Siwy Denim!}



...kicking my feet up and relaxing {after cleaning, of course}...



{I can't seem to get enough relaxing in.}



...and getting some more pictures taken of Zuzu for my scrapbook.



{I haven't done a very good job scrapbooking. I only have 3 pages and none are finished, so my goal is to at least finish my Zuzu page. The theme is "In the Jungle"...fitting for a Lion dog...expect lots of cute pictures to be posted this weekend.}



Have a {wonderful, wonderful} weekend!

Yes, yes not all of these are for your arms specifically but still lovely nonetheless...

{I ♥ ♥ ♥ YSL.}

The more sensible one...

Fall just started and I'm already thinking about winter. We all know Wisconsin winters are brutal, so in preparation I've armed myself with:

...this Louis Vuitton Logomania Scarf...

 ...this Burberry Check Rain Boot...

...speaking of UGGs, I bought these for Fall/Winter...



{They will probably need to be retired when the big snow comes...such a waste.}

...and these Burberry Check Earmuffs...

{I love Betty's style and this cape is spot on for Fall (capes have slowly become an obsession for me). Specifically, I have my eye on this one.}

{I really like this sweater and booties combination. Of course, I would need a chic coat/jacket to keep warm.}

{I'm not a leather jacket kind of a girl, but maybe (I said maybe) I'll finally get one this season if I find the right style. I haven't found the right one yet.}

{This combination from J. Crew is perfect for work. Nicky and I are big fans of J. Crew...inexpensive, quality items...who wouldn't love it?}

...a chilly fall morning, orange leaves everywhere, a cup of hot coffee keeping me warm...

...wearing my favorite skirts and dresses with leggings, boots, and scarves...





...a drive through the countryside to admire the leaves...





...and busting out my favorite Marc Jacobs grandpa sweater that is 2 sizes too big. I love this weather!





Wednesday already? Yes, indeed. Have a great day!

Today was just one of those off days in apartment 211. No one was feeling well {including the doggy} and as a result nothing was accomplished. Hopefully, a good night's sleep will bring a better tomorrow...

{I want this in Amarante.}



...and this LV Initiales Monogram 40 mm belt...



{One of these will be my next LV purchase.}

They are officially on my wish list {like I said, I'm a sucker for accessories}.

We all carry these things inside that no one else can see. They hold us down like {anchors}, they drown us out at sea.

I've had a great holiday weekend to myself...

  

 {Yes, it would have been nice to be on a beach somewhere but there is something wonderful about a weekend at home. I was able to lounge around in my pj's all day (without Nicky pacing around me) and do things when I want to do them.}

It's been a successful weekend shopping-wise.

I did some much needed house cleaning.

I had my fill of my favorite sandwich.

...and finally, I did some much needed maintenance on my blog {if you haven't noticed (:}. It was definitely a good weekend, but it's not over yet so I better go eat another sandwich!
