The one…
In which I stumble into Starbucks at 3pm, look down and realize “holy crap my toes are bright.” Amber (looove Amber p.s) here it is!-Essie Punchy Pink. Kind of obsessed with it. Easing into the dayglo/neon revival…
The one in which I realize my True Religions are getting looser which excites me (thank you Jillian Michaels you hooker), and annoys me because my jeans aren’t cheap. Seriously, my airfare to GA=a pair of jeans. INSANITY. (But oh so worth it, don’t get it twisted.)
The one in which I realize that I might be getting in my car tomorrow and driving 5 hours to be with Chrystina.* Because that’s just what you do sometimes. Whats a 5 hour drive between best friends? A hot minute if you ask me.
The one in which I realize I might need these for Fall/Oofa/Retail Therapy. On sale at Nordies. 
{That heel. The slouch. Badass.}
The one in which you realize I got my credit cards back. Haha
*Chrystina-I heard from her Mom around 5 my time that she was finally in recovery. JUST NOW received this text…and I quote…pls note that she is in horrific pain, yet these are the kind of sunshiney texts I get…can you feel her personality? Ahhmazing.
“Oh my gosh I appreciate the prayers SO much!!!! I could feel them. I had a calmness right before going under! I knew everyone was praying for me!”
The one in which I realize the power of prayer and positive thoughts.
Some days I wonder why the hell I blog.
The one in which I will never wonder that again.
XOXO,
Liz

So GLAD to hear about Chrystina!
You are such an amazing friend – you have NO freakin'idea Lizzy girl..
Luv.you.tons.
It gave me goosebumps, the text message, I prayed and still am!
I love this post!! How you feel about your jeans is how I feel about my Moleskines lol
I'm so glad to hear Chrystina is in recovery! And I loved this post!
The one in which I say that you're a great friend, a fab fashionista (but is there any other kind?) and saucy shredder.
I am so glad she is in recovery now!! Here is to a quick, hopefully pain free recovery! The poor darling!!
And you lizzie, I need your drive! I am sooo lazy when it comes to the shred!! I need to tone up big time for my second summer in aus arghh
I told myself this morning "Ok, I will get up, do the dishes and later today do the shred."
Well, I got up… looked at the dishes and was like "HELL NO"… so you can imagine how I will be for the rest of the day haha.
And yes, drive to see her! The time is nothing once you get to give her a cuddle! It definitely will be worth it. So, drive safe darling! Where your seat belt and try not to call anyone while your belting out the pussycat dolls!!
love you xxx

the one in which everyone left you multiple comments…haha…

finding out chrystina was in recovery made me declare, 'He is good, all the time He is good'…
seeing your friggen twig legs…we are FRIGGEN SHREDHEADS!!! and basically are going to resemble fourteen year old boys…
coming to see me…HELL FREAKING YES!!!! THE SHOPPING THE DANCING THE GETTING READY THE LAUGHING THE DRINKING…i just don't know what i am most looking forward to…
um…those boots…they absolutely will be MINE!!! no doubt son…
and last but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST IS THE FREAKING BADGER COLONY!!! we canNOT leave our banana out…we have to have a menage a trois immediately…i am thinking vegas and i am thinking SOON!
I will continue to pray for your friend. I do wish her the best. I hope she gets better soon. Take care.
holy moly, i hope you get to go up and see her! i am hoping she has a speedy recovery (and some merciful doctors that will ease her pain and quicken said recovery, STAT!!!!!).
and fucking aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, GET THOSE BOOTS!!! they are so gorgeous! they would crucify my feet, but you are much more of a lady and you can take it! do it! love them!
and when in the world do you sleep?!?!?! i don't know how you have time for working, blogging and commenting like mad, plus you legion of friends! you are pretty UHMAZING!!!!!!!
The one in which we all realize how lucky we are to know someone as incredible as you! I'm so glad she came through it safely and she'll be better in no time with you by her side. Hugs.
Excuse the deleted comment, I just made some many mistakes in it, it was a total shame. LOL.
Awwww my LizzyMarie ! Chrystina is a trooper and you're pretty Ahhhmazing yourself
)
If there's even a remote possibility for you to take the time to go visit her, I totally encourage you to do so .. no 5-hour drive should keep you two apart !!
You're 110% there with her mentally but the physical presence would be terrific support, I'm sure
Thanks for the hidden linky love, I *WISH* I could hug you as well my NeonPink lover ! xoxo A xoxo
aaw yay, im glad the surgery went ok for your friend and that the prayers helped. nothing like the bonds of girls coming together from all across the globe
have a safe trip/drive safely if you do take on the 5hr road trip!!
The neon thing is growing on me. I saw a couple girls the other day with various shade of neon toes and wasn't repulsed. On my pale ass, haven't seen the sun all summer body though…I'm thinkin' notsomuch.
Still praying for Chrystina! Glad her surgery went well. Five hours to see your best friend is nothing!
I'm liking that nail polish! And the boots actually
Recovery is better than waiting any day. 5 hours is nothing to be there for someone who needs you. You're a good friend. xoxox
SO glad to hear Chrystina is in recovery! My heart has been breaking for her (and you!). And yes, prayer is absolutely amazing.
Um, cannot TELL you how excited I am to have made an appearance on your blog… I'm faaammmous haha! And that picture confirms that I need some Essie Punchy Pink in my life immediately.
Oh and I kind of love those boots. I have some that are that color and slouchy but minus the fabulous heel.
Have a great day, my love! XOXO

I'm so glad to hear she is doing okay!!!!
There really is something MAGICAL about blogging, isn't there?!
So glad your friend is doing well! =) And that nail color is ahhhhmazzzing. I love it.
Hey Sweet Pea! Gonna switch it up with Lizzy Whizzy every now and again OK?
I'm so happy to hear Chrystina is in recovery. I will continue to pray for a speedy one
It's wonderful you'll get to drive out and see her. Please be safe and don't super speed, she needs you there in one piece. So do I 
Those boots are hot. And what a steal!!! Yay for credit cards and online shopping
I'd hug you everyday if I could. Seriously.
Don't EVER stop blogging.
xx
TOLD YOU Chrystina would do okay
I just know these things, you would do well to trust me, missy!
Also, those boots. I FAINTED.

i'm gonna catch up reading your posts!
much love
eden
I have that same color on my toes! Love itttttt.
You gave me goosebumps girlie! I hope Chrystina has a very FAST recovery!
And I totally know what you mean about clothing not fitting! It sucks b/c they are still great pieces of clothing, but it's worth it!
Liz, what a great post…! So good to hear Chrystina is in recovery.
Thanks for your sweet comment! Nope, I did not hit the Barney's sale b/c I am currently suffering from the "no money honey" illness. *cries* Did you?
Hey crazy lady! I feel like I am so behind on what’s been happening. Blogger stresses me out, for realz. Haha!
Anyway, I have yet to “invest†In a pair of $300 – $400 jeans. I can’t get myself to do it. I was already quite uncomfortable letting my boyfriend buy a $105 t-shirt. =S
I am so thankful that Chrystina is in recovery and I am sending lots of positive energy her way for a speedy recovery.
I once drove 8 hours straight to get to my best friend. 5 will feel like nothing.
I am also sending lots of positive energy your way to help you stay strong and be all the support your friend needs!
Wow, this was an amazing post, lover. Your work ALWAYS inspires me-today you just struck a different cord.
PS the boots are f'ing SHINY.
I'm glad she's in recovery! And I hope she's good as new soon.
Congrats on the Jillian Michaels stuff, I love those workouts. I think she really is the genius of exercise!
PS Thank you for your comment, it made my dad! =)
Awwwe, babe, I wish I could give you the biggest hug too!
Oh man, I can't do those Jillian Michaels workouts. No thank you! I think the worst part about losing weight is the thought of having to buy all new jeans! I feel your pain, girl!
Love you and I'm keeping Chrystina in my prayers and thoughts all day!
why? The one in which you make us feel warm and cozy and relate to everything you post =) and get a sigh of relief after reading it and realizing that – I am not alone – =) that kind… Thank you girl!
Oh I am so glad that she is in recovery and you are such a good friend to be thinking about driving her way! I will be praying and it is so true that positive thoughts and prayers do the world of a difference.
I think I have the same essie color! haha! cool..
*loves*
i soooo rock that toe nail polish, but my "before baby" pedi is still holding up nicely so i can't bring myself to take it off yet…
it is totally appropriate for jeans $ > car payment $. unless your husband finds out.
that is why i have to get back into those suckers. one.day.at.a.time.
So happy to hear the good news about your friend, darling!
Love the neon pink toes and those slouchy grey boots!
xoxox,
CC
VEGASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
First, I love that you blog. I love hearing about your life (and your fab. style tips). I'm soooooooooo glad you're driving to see your friend! Second, I love your title and concept of your post because it reminds me of Friends and we just watched a whole bunch of Friends at work today in the breakroom because it was storming
, third, I could really use some starbucks and I love your toenails (they would look even more awesome at like a club that had black lights in it or something 
), and last, I hate when jeans are too darn tight when you first buy them. I hate feeling bloated and having to squeeze it all in, but once those jeans are broken in, they are soooooooo comfy! It's amazing! Have a safe drive!
I love the neon pink on your toes! I want color like that!!
hehe I like expensive jeans too… I'm trying to save up for a pair of rock and republic lately
And I'm happy to hear about your friend's good news! take care hot stuff!
You had me at 'Starbucks'…
Love the nailpolish! I really need to start adding color instead of constantly going for black or dark red. Congrats on getting your CC's back… done any damage yet? And those boots are SO hot… mmmm.
P.S. Good to hear Chrystina's ok. Are you sure that's not the morphine talking though? It would make anyone happy and sunshiney… just kidding. But if she's in pain… really… tell her she needs morphine. I was given that after surgery once – it was my savior! And then they took it away from me… sigh…
drive safely and glad about Chrystina. You are a good friend.
As for Sapphire, it is a neat place. i think we should round up some OC bloggers for a get together somewhere. : )
Seriously, you make my day…"thank you Jillian Michaels you hooker"
The Essie polish looks great! Punchy Pink is perfect for the summer.
Glad Chrystina is recovering.
I am just getting caught up on your blog, but glad to hear about Crystina.
On a separate note, that nail polish is adorable! I must get a pedicure with it once my ankle heals and I'm allowed to wear two shoes again! The color makes me feel like summer isn't ending…:)
Glad to hear the news!
I do believe in the POWER darlin'
Adore the msg on that tee as well~
Hugging my PC for you*
Sunshine Smile*
xo*
Oh Honey! Thanks GOD! I'm so glad to hear Chrystina is better!
"The one in which I realize the power of prayer and positive thoughts". So Cool!
And, dear: I LOVE YOUR JEANS!
Yay for pink toes and Chrystina!
And um, I stayed under budget because well, it was ridic high to begin with…heehee!
That's so great Liz! I'm glad Chrystina is ok and i love her text to you. Awesome girls and friends you both are. Will continue to pray and have a good safe trip tomorrow.xo
Those boots are RIDOCULOUS…that's right I said it. lol. Hi sweetie come stop by today and tell me what's in your makeup bag?
Those Miu Miu flats are a-dorable, aren't they?! Of course they need to go on sale first.
I'm not very good at saving either. I tell myself that I'm helping the economy…go USA! Ha!
This is one very interesting post. : )
I know about the jeans. I'm the one who refuses to buy when I get fat b/c I think jeans shouldn't be bought in my big size.
You're a wonderful friend to Chrystina.
That is a long drive but it's crazy when you are in recovery and no one is there for you but family. friends are totally different. glad your friend is okay.
Dayglo neon is Summer is hot.
I am totally hugging you right now. Can you feel it! Sorry I am still a bit sweaty from running though.
your toes are cute! bright but cute!
I have literally almost bought those boots like 20 times. ..what stops me? seriously, they are HOT!
I'm glad your girl is alright!
Get the boots.
Your toes are hotness, I am getting a pedi today… should I do electric orange or pink?
Thank you baby jesus Chrystina is going to be ok! I am sending my positive vibes to you both!
Xoxo
so glad she's in recovery!! that poor doll!! she's so lucky to have a friend like you!
those boots on the other hand…i'm drooling…gorgeous!
I love your bright toes!!
even your toes are hot!
so glad that Chrystina is out of surgery. tell her I'm sending lots of hugs and good thoughts her way!
And of course big hugs to you girl! mwah! love you!
We are so sorry to hear about your friend. Hope she has a speedy recovery and gets well very soon. She is lucky to have such a sweet, thoughtful and caring lady like you in her life rallying for her.
On a side note, neon/dayglow is DEF the way to go especially for nail polish. We don't know anything but neon for our nails =)
Have a great weekend!
xoxo
Lovely boots!
