How on Earth-Hour???

29.3.09

by SHELL SHERREEYou know you have severe tardiness issues when you're late for Earth Hour...... as we were.Yes, I'm ashamed to admit that even in our own home ~ without going anywhere; without putting on makeup and getting tizzied up in the good clobber {and that's just hubby ~ let alone me}; without...

What a Bubbly Pear

27.3.09

Look: twins. One of my dear girlfriends, home from Hong Kong for a little holiday a few months ago, arrived for lunch Chez Shell and we looked like two peas in a pod, except for her beautiful white Kate Spade tote bag. Sigh. She softened my bag envy by kindly bringing a bottle of Eric Bordelet...

A Spot of Leopard

18.3.09

Stick a cute leopard in your print ad and I'll buy anything from you. Not seriously ... but I'll at least want to draw it. This one's inspired by Ralph Lauren Home. {I couldn't find an Out of Africa theme on their website, but as long as it wasn't harmed in any way, I'm OK with a handsome gratuitous...

BeGuinness Luck

17.3.09

by SHELL SHERREEAt the risk of starting a debate among a bunch of drunks bearing a startling resemblance to Kermit the Frog with grass stains, "Top o' the mornin' to you!"I can hear you asking, "Why would this friendly welcome cause Guinness fuelled fisty-cuffs?" {Yes, I can hear you.

Be Still, my Beating Heart-Wings

13.3.09

I've discovered a penchant for pretty winged things. And with Thomas Sabo, I can indulge a pendant penchant at the same time. If you'd rather fall for his charms, you'll find plenty of those as well. This gorgeous thing has a face covered with synthetic red garnets and is listed as a unisex item,...

by SHELL SHERREEHubby returned from his burger run this afternoon with a genuinely funny story, as opposed to the usual ones that I laugh at because I love him.While waiting for his chips to be 'up', the perky chicky-babe on his window informed him that their sister store a few suburbs away thwarted...

Raindrops on Daisies and Whiskers on Kittens

5.3.09

Daisy by Marc Jacobs {Eau de parfum} scores top marks for a gorgeous bottle and top marks for using an adorable four legged model instead of a two legged one {though I'll take the smell of a kitten over perfume any minute of the day}. I'm also awarding top marks for an enchanting website. You...

Sean Penn as Milk, no Sugar

4.3.09

by SHELL SHERREEI'm confused. {Just another day, you're thinking to yourself.}Where does Harvey Milk begin and Sean Penn end?Penn's portrayal of Milk in the biopic of the same name was so convincing that people were saying things like, "Sorry, was Sean Penn in that movie? I thought it was a documentary."He...

Wherefore Art Thou, Tote Bag?

3.3.09

This Belinda store has a window display to rival its fashionable contents. All the world's a stage and every day we get to wear different costumes. I can't decide whether I want the dress, the bag or the giant happy theatre ma...

The Forgotten Superheroes

2.3.09

by SHELL SHERREEThis morning, I saw a Warholian piece of street art depicting President Obama as Superman.Judging by the pallor of quiet desperation on night show comedians still unable to crack a joke or joke about crack at his expense, this sentiment continues to hold true.I have to wonder, though,...
