Trendy Kettle

Hey look, I have an oxblood kettle!

 

Yesterday my old stainless steel kettle gave up the ghost (I saw the ghost going up and smelled it too - luckily I was home and the house was saved). So I had to run off in search of the new tea-machine. I decided to get a plastic kettle this time. The so called stainless steel had some rusty spots on it, go figure.

 

So now I have an oxblood kettle. Yeah!

 

Got a last chance to wear this dress before the rainy season. The pictures are dark but at least the dress is visible. And my comfy Steve Madden wedges.

By the way, I've been trying to lose some weight in order to fit into my jeans this winter. So far I've lost 3 kg in 2 weeks. I feel lighter already. If anybody is interested, I used Dr. Phil's Rapid Start Plan. It works for me. I'll keep going until I get used to live this way. Because the older you get, the tougher it is to lose those pounds. So I better keep it up.

On a slightly sadder note, my beloved wedge sandals from Nine West fell apart. I don't think they can be fixed. My shoe collection gets some balance, I mean, some of them have to go eventually.

And a happy note - I found and bought boyfriend jeans at the GAP. The label says "original fit" but they are basically boyfriend style. Now I just have to search the blogosphere and figure out how to style them on my not-so-slender (yet) body.
