It began in the morning when I was putting on my makeup.
My mascara wand flicked out of my hand, rolled down my gorgeous Tommy Hilfiger vest, rolled down my arm, rolled down my favorite Banana Republic grey pants, and onto the floor.
I just sat there and looked at the lines of black on my vest, my arm, my pants, and the rug before throwing my head back, letting out a loud sigh, and trying again to properly apply.
Thank God for Tide sticks. Those stains were gone in an hour.
Then, at work, I was put on a project that frustrated me and made me feel totally incompetent until I finally began to understand after three hours.
Then, I busted out Guitar Hero at night and totally screwed up my last song -- on the last note.
That's the worst.
Apparently, Guitar Hero makes me prone to violent outbursts of anger and slamming doors in Mr. A's face.
Tory Burch's current collection of clothes sucks.
I would like to issue a PSA to her designers: Please revamp your clothing line. It's is boring and dowdy. Unless you are marketing yourself to 60-year old women, then you need to rethink your fashion.
The shoes and bags, on the other hand, are ... okay.
Here are three that pass the test.
(Only three.)

They will be mine.

Saks describes this bag as being "buttery smooth." I don't think I could have said it better myself. Besides, ya'll know I am a sucker for a chain strap.



I had a not-so-good Monday too :/ Last night (to top things off), I accidentally dropped my plastic lash glue bottle and the glue scattered all over the place. Eeek sticky mess
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that bag! Especially the color :D
I also wasn't a big fan of her most recent collection...it's just seems kind of tired and derivative.

hahaha!!! i agree with you on this! now, dont get me wrong, i like tory burch's designs. but i am over the revas (yes, i own a pair) because all it reminds me of is those girls in blogland who spend their husbands money on revas and other expensive things. kind of weird and i don't want to be like one of them. with that being said, i do like the top shoe you displayed. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with your PSA. Although, I must say, I almost never like clogs, but I am really loving the studded ones you have here.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you are too funny! I have to say I'm not too much of a TB fan. But I do love her handbags! The last one is very cute!
ReplyDeleteStop by again soon!! xoxo!

Sorry to hear about your bad day...I hope today is better!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the current TBurch collection. The wedges are keepers, though!
Ahhahhaa :D I am like that (or even worse) EVERY time I lose at ANYTHING! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a relief that you've managed to salvage the clothes!!! X
P.S. Don’t forget about my new giveaway!

Ohh I love that bag! And I also love tide sticks, for emergencies such as yours. I swear, I always get mascara on me. It's so annoying.
ReplyDeleteSo, Tide sticks do work?!?
ReplyDeleteSo going to Target right now. Thanks.
PS. I learn something new every time I come here. That's awesome.
Awe!! Your post made me laugh. I was laughing WITH you (if you are laughing yet, that it). I have been there. Oh, have I been there. I'm sorry dear. Tuesday? Is it going any better?

I hate makeup! It ruins everything. Urgh. I like the wedges and bag. I need to shop. I'm stuck in a no-shopping challenge. Its so not fair.
ReplyDeleteThe first shoes are pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHaven't really seen much of this clothing line - have seen some accessories that I really loved eg a gorgeous black cuff. Looks like I don't need to check out the clothing line though as I'm not quite 60 yet! XXX
ReplyDeleteLove the first pair!!
ReplyDeleteLove those second shoes!
ReplyDeleteDropping your mascara is a nightmare :D x
I was also wondering if you could vote for me? Its for an elle magazine contest.
It only takes 5 seconds :D !
Go to the Nokia facebook page and then press gallery and view by date. When you see ‘The Black Maze’ with my picture just press 'i like' and you've voted!
Would be so nice! Thanks! :) x
That little bag is waaaay too cute!

Oh my goodness, mascara is the worst, I get it everywhere without being sure how! Love that bag, chain straps are a classic
ReplyDeleteoh my , I love the latest collection ! <3
ReplyDeletei'm a sucker for a chain strap too. they're so gorgeous on bags! and love that wedge boot. just bought a jeffrey campbell pair. they look slightly clownish yet so cool!

yeah her clothes can be a little blah but she excels at the accessories! oh, and i love her cardis.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'd be so angry too! I love the shoes :) Shame the rest of the collection sucks.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the bad day Monday! Hope the rest of the week turns around.
ReplyDeleteI'm digging that purse too!
Mondays are always BAD!! hope your Tuesday was better!!
ReplyDeletehey the other day I was watching ur old Vlogs...tha facebook one is really funny!! haha
btw I love the bag :):)
have a great week ahead!!
Jamesface is awesome at guitar hero but I can't even get one note right haha. I seriously get booed on the easy level. I think it's because I've been playing piano for years and every time I play guitar hero, I feel like it's a sideways, weirdo, piano. I always play mario kart with him though. I'm pretty good but sometimes he comes out with a red koopa shell on the LAST SECOND of the level and I slam doors and throw things at him.. so it's okay. I feel your pain haha.
ReplyDeleteSome days my personal motto could be "tide stick." It's usually salsa with me... I think I have a dribbling problem haha.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could buy brand names shoes all the time! I want one now
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you don't have another horrible day like that again. I would have been seriously frustrated if that happened with my mascara.
ReplyDeleteI always love her collections -- and that little bag is phenomenal!

Mondays are a bitch - Monday I ate too much cake, felt sick couldn't work out properly and then just felt like a fail. This was mostly all my fault but I'm still blaiming Monday fever. Then yesterday I again ate too much cake but workedout like a beast... so it must've been monday failing right? Ok I'm rambling now but yeah sorry Monday was a bitch to you at least we're rockin wednesday now :) and you've found some fiiierce wedges to again make me drool haha.

Wow - all that from a mascara wand - know what you mean though, those little things can cause enormous havoc!I love Mondays since I stopped working, but Sunday nights are always a killer for me. Love that handbag...really love it, love camel everything!
ReplyDeleteaww boo for having the case of the mondays...happened to me one too many times where ive flicked that mascara wand...and even worse I get ready at the gym...so there have been days where I have gone to work with makeup on my blouse or skirt...grrr.
ReplyDeleteI HATE when I drop my mascara. I seriously do it way too often!
ReplyDeleteHope your week is a lot better than your Monday! Ehh as well but the last bag is cute!
ReplyDeletep.s. I veered off the list a few weeks ago for the cutest lace skirt. I wonder why I didn't have multiple lace things on my list. Yep I'm controlling my shopping ADD too!

wow, those clogs are a-mazing! now i want to check out the tory burch line to see if it really is that terrible, lol!
ReplyDeleteso i'm not a fan of tory burch but am digging that buttery soft purse. And the logo isn't too obscene as well (unlike a lot of her accessories) so I'll check it out. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteNice shoes!!
ReplyDeleteLoving that first dress!
