Things Will Go Wrong > Reporting live from my closet

I intended to have a fabulously crafty post today.

Really, I did.

Instead, what I have, is one crazy disaster after another. Oh, BTW - I'm stuck in my closet.

So I decided share it with all of you in true Chaos & Gloss form. First up, the ugly:

THE CHAOS:

My computer's internal Wifi isn't working, so I am having to connect with a cable to my modem/router where it comes into my house- which is in my closet. Under the stairs.

It's all very Harry Potter-ish without all the fun magic and with a lot of swear words that I'm pretty sure Harry wouldn't say...

I am having to diaper my dog.

Yes, we here in my household have long since said goodbye to those days, but I am now having to wrestle down a jack russel terrier, that is possessed by the strength of a mastiff, to tape her into her doggie diaper. Yep. A doggie diaper.

All things motorized and mechanical at our house have decided to go on strike until further notice or until we have spent our all of our savings on them. They are not cheap dates. I am now wishing that I had bought that Missoni bike from Target so that I have some transportation...

I went to my son's very touching Veteran's Day assembly

in a great Frock Me Friday outfit, only to discover that my shirt was OBVIOUSLY inside out. Which was less mortifying because it was covered by a great chunky knit sweater. Until I started to sniffle and SWEAT from said sweater and the effort to not cry from all the heartfelt pictures and stories. My sweet son came over to hug me after it was over and said, "Mom, you are all sweaty and hot! Why don't you take off your sweater?" My son is a genius, which is great because his mother is an idiot.

I am having 20 people over to

 my house for Thanksgiving and my house looks like a bad game of I Spy. Ya know, can you spy the cordless phone in this Mount Everest pile of laundry... can you spy the your winter coat under this carpet made of shoes, hats, gloves, and backbacks...?!

THE GLOSS

My son came to me in the morning and said, "Hello, best momma in the whole wide world." Awwww. My heart melts.

Then he asked if he could have Halloween candy for breakfast, but I'm positive that the two are not related...

I also received a special, hand drawn, "monster identification book", because my other son said, "just in case, mom." So I am all set and protected if I come across any unidentifiable monsters.

Thanks, son!

Now I have to get out of this closet and clean, because somone's shoes really stink in here. A better post tomorrow, I promise!

Frock Me Friday > It's All About The Bootie

Whaaat - the bootie?  You know the "ankle boot."  Were you thinking about a different bootie?  Okay, this is "Frock Me Friday" and my post was inspired by this to- die -for closet on Pinterest.  I have a serious crush on closets - I don't know why, that's probably a question for Dr. Phil.   You can't read it but the sign above the door says "Fairy Tales Do Come True."  REALLY, because you have open shelves for shoes.  YOU NEED MORE SHOES!!!!  I think booties or the ankle boot is the perfect transition between fall and the all out winter boot. Check out some of these great booties that I found.

Shoes: Louboutin Bootie, Shoes found at CharlotteRusse.com, Victoriasecret.com, Makemechic.com, Wanelo.com

Okay, maybe the open toed ones are not technically fall booties in all the states, but some people live in warmer states and the golden color of the one on the top right is a great fall color - it's kind of the same color as the Autumn banner that Angela Glossy Flossy posted the other day.  


Love the Bootie!!! (That's the ankle boot.)


Now back to my other crush.  Check out this closet.

If fairy tales do come true, then I'm sure all the shelves behind these doors are packed full of swoon worthy shoes.
