{I live for puppy yawns.}

Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend had it all wrong. Her dog totally is.

Chad snapped these shots of Doak and me last night when I got home from work. I was in a foul mood all day. Cantankerous. A grumpalous, as my dad would say. I don’t know who put a bee in my bonnet (in fact, I only had to work a half day) but let’s just blame it on A Case of the Mondays. Blech.

When you walk in the door from one of those awful days, the I’ve-never-been-more-excited-to-see-you greeting from your four-legged friend is the best mood lifter, right?You’d never tell from these pictures that just hours earlier I was a crotchety nightmare. I love him so.

“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”

No time to chat this evening. I’m off to grab drinks and an early dinner with The Mister, hopefully followed by a movie in. How are we already another week into 2012?!

Happy Friday, friends!

product review: anastasia beverly hills “beauty express for brows and eyes”

Let’s sit down and have a little chat, girl-to-girl, about something seriously important: your eyebrows.

I’m mildly obsessed with brows. They’re one of the most important — and under-appreciated — aspects of your face. They frame your features, and getting them right can make all the difference in opening up your face and highlighting your pretty peepers.

Mondays are good days for lots o’ layers. They help disguise weekend indiscretions {like the aforementioned seven layer dip in the last post}. Mondays that happen to be Halloween are especially good days for layers. Because you’ve already eaten about five fun-size Butterfingers and a cupcake. An there’s still a lot of sugary debauchery to be had.

Here’s an easy no-bake recipe for a cute layered outfit:

Start with a dash of sparkle — sequins, beads, or a cute graphic tee.

Lightly cover with an easy button-up. (Don’t worry about ironing it, we’re going to cover it up anyway.)

Top with a slouchy vest. The slouchier the better.

Garnish with cherry red lips. And a sock bun.
