Comments:
As most of you probably know by now, I have an adorable black and white cat called Maxi that likes to make casual appearances in my photos. He isn't the friendliest of cats to be honest, but he is a lot friendlier with me than with anyone else. For that reason, I have grown very attached to him and I always say he is my kitty (rather than everyone's kitty).

Anyway, Maxi has been sooooooooo much friendlier lately for some reason. And when I mean friendlier, I mean much friendlier. He follows me all around the house, waits outside my bedroom door for me, and always goes to the backyard with me to play. In fact, he is lying right next to me as I write this post! This may not seem like a big deal to you, but to me these acts of affection are really special. I feel so loved!! :)

Comments:
Today I'm trying out one of the many fun nail polishes I received in the mail the other day! When I was a little girl, I would loooooooove to paint my fingernails and toenails with glow-in-the-dark nail polish. So it is kind of nostalgic to wear this type of nail polish once again.
Feb 28 (9)

I found the polish to be kind of transparent-ish, so instead of wearing it by itself, I decided to layer it over another green nail polish I already owned. I love the finished look as well as how they glow at night! So fun!! I feel like a kid all over again :)

Did you ever wear glow-in-the-dark nail polish when you were a kid? Would you still wear it now?

Closet Inventory: Shoe-Addict for sure :)

06 June 11 - Sugar Doll Award (12)
**This is a pretty old picture of my shoe collection. Now there are a lot less sneakers and a lot more high heels :)

A lovely (and very patient) reader once asked me to post an inventory list of all of my items of clothing and accessories. As fun as that sounds (and it does sound fun, I love making lists!), I truly have so many things that it would be really hard to list them all. So, I thought that a good substitute would be to post an inventory of my vast shoe collection!


Let me start by saying that I have A LOT of shoes (to say I'm a shoe addict would be a true understatement). In my defense, shoes are very inexpensive here in Panama (I'm talking about $10-$15 shoes!!) and I keep shoes for many many years (I have shoes as old as 8 years old!).

Anyway, here is the list of shoes I own organized by color. Click on each link if you want to see an outfit of me wearing each shoe. Hope you like it!

Comments:
I love hats, plain and simple, but wearing hats in Panama truly is a challenge. Most people in Panama dress in the same way, so when there is someone who wears something out of the box, it truly is like a sore thumb that stands out. That said, it is always a challenge for me to wear hats because nobody here in Panama wears them.
Feb 25 (7)

For that reason, I've learned that confidence is a key ingredient to wearing my funky colorful hats in this country. I always get many stares, whispers, and comments (sometimes good sometimes bad). I also have people who look at me like "who does she think she is?!". But you know what? I love hats, and I will keep wearing my hats no matter how many people stare at me or whisper things about me.
Feb 25 (8)

I dress for myself and for nobody else. I feel so proud of myself for being myself and not caring about what other people think. I hope you all stay true to yourselves as well! You are all special and wonderful, no matter what other people say. Be you, cuz you are great!

My mom bought me this adorable floral purse yesterday, isn't it cute!? I always love when I come back tired from work and she surprises me with something special like this purse, or a new dress. My mom has always been so thoughtful and loving.

You know what's the best part of this new purse?! It comes with a kitty included!

Hahaha, just kidding. That's just our kitten Jones :) I wanted to take a picture of him peeking his head through the purse, but he was so stubborn that this was the best shot I got. lol.
