I have been wanting this Rachel Pally dress FOREVER! Here I am shopping for resort wear while it’s freezing outside, all I can think about is Hawaii! It’s so important for the hubby and I to pack up and get out of town! Shooot, get out of the state, or better yet, out of the country! Now that i’m older, i’d much rather buy experiences over material things. LOL Ok, who am I kidding, I still enjoy an occassional Louboutin here or a Prada bag there. Might as well enjoy the fruits of our labor, right? RIGHT… and not to mention, help this terrible economy out! I’m doing my part. This dress will be mine with a new pair of cream colored Christians! =)

Yummy
Hello Beautiful! These yummy Manolo Blahnik’s are calling my name! I am in LOVE with the color! The perfect pop to a black and white dress! These shoes also remind me of the SATC episode where Carrie’s shoes get stolen at a baby shower. Can you imagine someone stealing your shoes at a party? lol I digress…
Dear Husband, if you are reading this, these shoes would make the perfect v-day gift. Actually, we don’t even celebrate v-day since everyday is valentines! Luckily for me, I married a very loving man who performs very romantic gestures on any given day of the year. I love you boo!

Tutu Blossoms
What is the perfect gift for the quintessential girly girl who already has everything? The answer: a Tutu Blossom! We were at a loss as to what to get our Goddaughter and her sister for Christmas. Thanks to our friend Melsa, she referred us to her gf who makes custom tutus which come in a huge selection of yummy colors! The images do them no justice and are even cuter in person. This may be our staple gift for our friends with little future fashionistas. They make for great pictures too!

Happy New Years 2009
|
2009 is upon us and I’m starting it off sick! Boohoo. Last year, us and the besties headed to the east coast and celebrated 08 New York style – GREAT times. To ring in 2009 we stayed local with a group of 9 and had dinner in Rockridge at Citron. This was our first time dining at Citron which was really cute, it was NYE ready with balloons. We each opted for 3 courses for $65, with drinks it ended up being $100 per person – not too bad I suppose. The presentation was excellent – my first course was lobster bisque and avocado lobster salad, second course was steak (according to Lil Miss Fit I am to eat lots of steak and cinnamon rolls – shouldn’t be too hard – and for those who don’t know Miss Fit or more like Lil Misfit, she is my sister who is a fitness fanatic). For dessert I had sorbet with champagne – yummy! It was a great last meal for 2008 – on Yelp, many have reviewed Citron for brunch – will have to try!
After dinner we headed back to our friend’s home and played Loaded Questions. I must say, we learned some intimate details about our friends playing that game! Some people were just obsessed with midgets and baby blue undies. LOL The husband and I had a great time! Thanks for the laughs and cheers to many more dinners with those near and dear to our hearts! Hold up, how could I forget about what I wore! I am a self proclaimed shop-a-holic like most women. I love buying clothes and investing in quality pieces rather then quantity although I must say that I have been really good lately and trying to save especially in this crappy economy. Anyhow, I remember exactly what I wore last year… a 3.1 Phillip Lim pleated black blouse, paige skinny jeans and Prada knee high stiletto boots with a huge North Face puffer jacket – mind you, we were in NY and FREEZING. This year I knew I wanted to wear a dress with some sparkle. It is new years right?! I must admit that I check out shopbop.com daily, who can beat free shipping and no tax! I went with a Foley + Corrina two-tone silk-chiffon dress with rhinestone appliqué throughout paired with a flesh patent leather Jimmy Choo stiletto sandal. Lucky for me the dress was on sale! My dress arrived, tried it on and it was more sheer then I thought. Let’s just say, the dress could not be worn with a bra. I have always seen those sticker petals to cover nipples for us modest gals and had to try – they worked out and no peek a boo nipples were to be seen! Woo! I would use them again if need be. Back to shopbop, so that same day I noticed my dress was marked down even more! I was so mad, so I called, and to my surprise they credited me the difference! Hurray for shopbop – I am loving them even more. Now the hubby will have to take me out somewhere special so I can wear the sparkly frock again! Or better yet, if any of my gals want to borrow let me know! xoxo, bon |
