  3. Wow! Thanks for sharing. Tell your parents that at least one person out there in the wide world of the internet (me) thinks their house is completely fab. I’m at my parent’s house right now, and I’m totally jealous. My mom is really into knick knacks acquired at the Dollar General store. :-/ ha!

    Your painting is filled with the color of nature which makes me feel I am free (Although I will have a big examination…:()

  9. When it comes to metallic high heels, Christian Louboutin Flatsmany women only think of evening shoes. It's understandable, given that gold, silver, pewter, and bronze are all great choices for making an entrance at a more formal event.

Of course, there are some caveats. For one thing, evening shoes are still evening shoes — too glamorous, and they'll be out of place for most daylight events.

On the other hand, if you come across a pairJimmy Choo Pumps of high heel sandals that, in any other color, you'd wear with your favorite shorts, jeans, skirts or dresses, and those shoes happen to be offered in metallic finishes, then don't shy away from them. Instead, remind yourself how versatile gold, silver, and other metallics are, and then use them to dress up your favorite casual outfit, or to take any slightly-dressy outfit to a whole new level. Jimmy Choo SandalsFor example, these particular sandals would look great with skinny jeans and a tank, but they'd also look fantastic paired with your favorite little black dress.
