Polyvore

Social Media is going to be the cause of my demise.

First it was Facebook and Twitter followed by LinkedIn.

Then I gut sucked into Pinterest and thought I might never get out alive.

Now I’m really in trouble. Big trouble.

I found Polyvore.

For those of you who like to be creative, have a penchant for fashion or like home decor, you are going to love (LOVE) this site. You can drag and drop clothing, backdrops, furniture, just about everything and anything you can imagine onto a “blank” canvas and create outfits, rooms, all kinds of fabulous and marvelous things.

I’m officially a goner.

I’ve only been playing on it since last weekend, but it is so much fun.

You can do stuff like this:

So you pick out the fashion pieces you like, arrange them however you want, add whatever accents tickle your fancy and then you can share it with others. Being someone who likes clothes and creativity, I can’t begin to tell you how this entertains me so.

Although I have only spent a few minutes being crazy with the home decor stuff, it looks like it could be a time-consuming wonderment, too.

I agree the pink room is a little much, but it was fun to put together.

Cute Shoes #15

Posted in Captain Cavedweller, Fashion, tagged , , , , , on March 7, 2012| 2 Comments »

Years ago I did some serious damage to my foot that resulted in some really painful spells of arthritis.

Due to that fact, I got rid of all my cute shoes and soon found my closet full of things like this:

Blah, bleck, boring – but they were comfortable.

Then one day, I woke up and realized I was tired of blah, bleck, boring shoes and went skipping down an entirely new path.

I’m so glad I did!

And, according to Captain Cavedweller, I’ve become a cute-shoe addict.

I can’t help it. Like chocolate, I spent too many years without any!

So the other day, I was quickly flipping through a website and these screamed out to me.

I couldn’t ignore their pleading for me to own them, so I thought about it for approximately 16.5 seconds before I bought them. They are so cute, so fun and I absolutely love them. I got them from Modcloth.com

Even CC agreed they were pretty cute shoes – for an up and coming shoe addict.

1950s Party Theme

Posted in Entertaining Ideas, Party Theme, tagged , , , on March 6, 2012| 2 Comments »

Thanks to a bizarre conversation I had recently with someone that made me feel trapped in a 1953 house-wife’s body, I started thinking about a 1950s themed dinner party.

Just for fun, I posted a question on Facebook Saturday asking what foods people would serve.

The responses were so fun. I loved them all.

So I am definitely toying with the idea of throwing a 1950s themed dinner party. When said event happens, I’ll take a ton of photos and share recipes.

For now, I’ll share some of the menu ideas from facebook:

Pot roast surrounded by potatoes & carrots

Jello salad, Jello Mold, Jello with fruit & cottage cheese (most definitely need Jello)

Iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing

Tuna casserole

Green bean casserole

Crown roast

Fondue

Spam

Canned Vienna Sausages in BBQ Sauce

Deviled eggs, deviled eggs and more deviled eggs

Pimento cheese stuffed celery

Swiss steak

Chicken pot pie

Baked Alaska

Sherbet

Rack of lamb

Dinner rolls

Peach cobbler and ice cream

Cocktail meatballs with sauce

Pigs in a blanket

Meat loaf with mushroom gravy

Cherry pie ala mode

Milk Shakes
