Barkin’ Dogs.

September 22nd, 2009 by Ruth

When my dogs are barkin’ (in really bad shape), there’s nothing I love more than treating myself to a pedicure and coming home to a cozy pair of slippers. Inspired by moccasins, which have been worn since pre-recorded time, these soft, classic slippers are one simple luxury no one should go without. Check out my picks below for ultimate comfort.

Minnetonka Slipper

Minnetonka, notorious for their Native American beaded Thunderbird Soft Sole slip-on, brings comfort in the home with the Women’s Sheepskin Softsole Moc. While a little on the steep side, at $56, the sheepskin lining and genuine sheepskin construction will keep you warm and toasty for years to come.

Available in five colors, the Microfiber Suede Scuff is an affordable addition to your collection. Blurring the lines between slippers and shoes, Dearfoams has created a soothing slipper that provides the ultimate relaxation and comfort you crave. Available in stores at JcPenney and coming to Amazon.com on October 1, they can be yours for $22.

Wearable rainbow.

P244710_heroIn the past couple of years, I’ve amassed quite a stash of eyeshadows, very likely spending a small fortune on makeup from all brands under the sun. Necessary? Definitely not. And although I’m now armed with the colors of the rainbow, I really ought to downsize things a bit, now that my cosmetics cases are beginning to overflow. With that in mind, I’m heading straight to Sephora and nipping my eyeshadow fixation in the bud with the new Colorful Artist Palette. Included in the compact are 15 paraben-free shades that can be applied wet or dry for infinite hue possibilities. Take it from me – this is one palette that artists dream about!
