Happy Thursday my friends.

This song is amazing. No words to describe it but it's really cute and poppy and simply great.

DROOL LIST

I haven't really been a big fan of the Alexander Wang bag line since launching in 2008 but I'm starting to slowly come around. Ever since I saw Ms Witherspoon here carrying the A.W Rocco bag around in the tan color, I'm slowly drooling. It has a simple shape to it, like a LV speedy duffel bag but without all the logos. It's a creammy butter leather that quite simply put, you could powder your nose with. I'm drooling and slowly considering splurging on it. $850? Is it worth it? Nay or Yay? I'm seriously leaning towards YAY!



collections: {camels}

It's been all over the runways and streets these days, and it seems like everyone can't get enough of it, including me! camels... of all shades is the it color of the moment and it isn't dying down anytime soon. It's the new black. I'm loving the neutral vibe that the color invokes, because it can seriously go with anything? I, myself, have been eyeing a camel boyfriend jacket... I just haven't found the right one.. i'm picky about these things; when I see something I want, I won't settle for less until I get it just right.
Well enjoy the camel collection my loves and have a lovely start off to the week. Hopefully this May Gray will go away soon.

Cannes Film Festival 2010

LA has the Oscars. NYC? The Met Gala. Europe? The Cannes Film Festival. Every year around this time, men and woman of all parts of the world glam in up and glitz out the glamorous lifestyle. More Grace Kelly, Monte Carlo, French Rivera type ambiance. And I can't get enough of it. That being said, here are some of the beautiful ladies that graced this years red carpet in Cannes...

Quote of the Week

May Gray is starting to kick it and I think it looks like showers slowly creeping in too.
As much as I love summer weather, it's nice to have crisp and scraf weather every once in a blue moon. Hence, the quote above.
Have a good day my dears and stay dry and warm.

happy hump day


I know we're only halfway through the week but I truly feel like this is the longest week ever... like EVER. I'm actually thinking I am taking off early from work today. Almost done with a project so once that is completed, I think I will head out and go home and relax.
Like the picture says, I'm wide awake, it's morning.
happy hump day my loves.

whew. that was tough.

you ever had one of those weeks where everything just hit you all at once, things keep popping up one after the other? this past week was a tough one but i got through it. after everything, i feel lik,e just break down and passing out on a comfy retro 50's sofa.
hopefully this week will be a better one. i'm going to take a break in the blog today but i promise that i will be back, bright and early tomorrow.
xoxo my dears

Best Dress :The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala

Once a year, around the beginning of May, NYC hosts one of the most glamourous events. They call it the East Coast version of the Oscar but minus the awards stuff. All that matters is who's wearing what. I was a little disappointed with the gowns that walked down the red carpet BUT in my opinion there were two gals who stood.

Chanel Iman (Victoria Secret model) in a custom made Michael Kors gold jumpsuit. I don't know about you but I happen to like jumpsuits... if it's done the right way. I though Chanel's number was edgy, youthful, eye catching and yet still somewhat glamourous enough to be carried off on the red carpet. Along with the smokey eye make, non-fuss locks and the chill attitude, Chanel was def on someone's best dress list.. MINES!


Camille Belle looked like the belle of the ball! Her custom made Jason Wu red carpet red gown was a stand out. Usually red dresses/gowns/outfits don't work on the red carpets because they tend to clash but some how this one worked out pretty well. It didn't drown out. Her skin tone, sleek back but still casual hair bun, simple make-up and clevege worked well with the dress. Her's was definite a red carpet wonder and favorite of mines'. Extra kudos for dress holding up her breast that could go one like no other.
xo.

Less than a 50 days until the first game of the World Cup

and I am excited! so So SO excited! It will be a little tough with my schedule this summer, but I'm going to make it work. I have to make it work. If not, gosh help us all. I've been prepping, researching, tallying, keeping scores and doing gosh knows what I can do in order to prepare myself for the world's biggest sporting event. Here's what I've been doing.


Vanity Fair (US version) "s June 2010 issue is out and it's all about the boys in color coordinated uniforms and shin-guards. What makes this issue even more special is that they're not even in their uniforms. More like their birthday suits. I'll be reading this issue from cover to cover.
I bought two copies published by ESPN called the Guide to the World Cup 2010. This will be my bible. My haven. My stats about who's who and who's what and everything else "informational". And these don't come cheap either. It was like buying a textbook for college classes all over again. You kind of cringed when they tallyed up the total.
www.kickette.com : Like any chica, I like my juicy gossip. Throw anything involving football/soccer and I'll be your devoted follower until death do us part. I came across kickkette abpout 43 years ago. It was right around the time the World Cup of 2006 was ending. While trying to get any and I ean ANY information aout the fabulous and gorgeious players, I came across kickette. No words can explain the amount of gratitude (for having a place to get my daily dirt) and love (gatherings of other fellow lady soccer followers/lovers) that I have for what is KICKETTE. It's like that pringle comercial... once you pop you won't stop. And I promise you'll be book-marking this page for daily reads... I knwo I do.
I'll be publishing my personal rendition of the World Cup soon. I am hoping to have it edit and ready to post by this weekend. Keep an eye out for it.
Till next time my loves... IKER!





sleepy Wednesday


I saw this and just had to post it! Although I am not a cat person, at all, I saw and just fell in love right away. Mostly with the baby and the adorable sleeping position. So cute!
Have a lovely and wonderful Wednesday!

Polyvore Outfit of the Week



the weather has inspire this outfit.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

it's beginning to look a lot like....

hello my loves! how is your week going so far?? mine has been going smooth but it's going to be a little bit bumpy the next couple of days, but in a good way. with work, upcoming finals for my recreational classes, lots of baby time, making cranes, planning an absolutely fabulous hen party with me not being there, gift wrapping, mother's day planning and AWW! so much but so little time! tomorrow i'll have a day off but it will probably be anything but relaxing. however i will get some one-on-one time with my sweet baby nephew and perhaps we'll go for a cup of tea and scones later in the afternoon by the beach. i'm soooo looking forward to that part of the day. and to make matters more fab, the weather has been absolutely divine. it's beginning to look a lot like spring with a little summer! i love this weather. i live for this weather. i breathe this weather. heck, it's why i quit my day job and moved back down here. to experience sunshine without wind. to feel warmth without needing to wear a scraf. to rock flip flops and not get my feet frozen 20 minutes later.
i think i'll go put my feet up, wear a pretty spring necklace and perhaps go to the beach.
it remains to be seen whether i'll take a chance and frolic into the weather (probably not)
till next time my loves!

Strawberries Glory

these past weekend we headed up to Carlsbad for some berry picking fun-ness. it was a real treat. for 15 bucks you would think that might be a little steep for strawberries, but it's actually pretty worth it. with a bucket of strawberries, you get to pick which to pick, eat along the way (to be honest, by the end of the pickings, i was a little strawberried out) and the experience of the whole thing. it was lots of fun! this was of course baby vinny's first strawberry picking's trip and he had uber fun! he went through 3 outfit changes, 4-5 mashed up berries and end up with a very red chin for the rest of the day.
i am planning on coming here again next weekend for mother's day and hopefully my stomach can hold on to the berries.
If your in the neighborhood or wanting to plan a fun family day, i would suggest heading to Carlsbad for some berry fun.
