Weekend Read:The Red Queen

I have been terrible with reading lately.  Since my post on The White Queen, I have been waiting to actually read the follow up novel, The Red Queen.  I FINALLY got to it and it was fantastic.  I loved hearing the exact same story from the other side.  That is something to make note of.  Do not read The Red Queen until you have read The White Queen.  Philippa Gregory has a talent of captivating her audiences and understanding an era from so long ago.  I am really looking forward to the next book in this series as I am sure it is going to be just as entertaining. 

Wish List: Christian Louboutin Markesling

I know, I know.  You are sick of all the animal print.  Beginning next week I will start obsessing over another trend.  But COME ON!  These shoes are insane!

I WAS going to Miami today...

That's right.  Today I was going to be heading to Miami and the W South Beach for four days to indulge in sun, pool and spa.  As of yesterday, plans changed.  Our middle man is having a hard time adjusting to going to school five days a week.  I get it.  He is four years old and five days is a lot.  After a lot of thought, my hubby and I agreed it would be better to not screw up his schedule more by leaving town, but to stay and not add any more changes to his already new schedule.  Am I sad to miss laying by the pool by myself, reading a book?  Yes.  Would I ever put this before my children?  Absolutely not.  Parenting comes first and so I will just have to indulge in Miami another time.  And you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world.

On another note, every time I have thought about this trip, this song has popped in my head...



And finally, have you RSVPed to the Juggling in Heels and Space NK event at Bloomingdale's yet?  If not, you better hurry!  Spots are filling up fast!

Join me at Bloomingdale's for a Space NK Event!

As mentioned in numerous posts, I am a skincare addict.  So imagine my excitement when I was asked by Bloomingdale's, South Coast Plaza to host a master class by Nicky Kinnaird of Space NK!  Nicky is a skincare specialist known around the world for identifying only the highest quality of effective skincare products.  Beginning her career in London, she has now stretched across the pond with a number of apothecaries throughout the US and in select Bloomingdale's stores.  I am so excited to be a part of this event and hope you are able to attend!  Space is limited so make sure you RSVP soon as I don't want you to miss out!

See you at Bloomingdales!    

My Little Tom Boy Princess

One day you might find Baby Girl wearing a Spiderman helmet, blue t-shirt and jeans, trying to ride her brothers Ezy Roller.

The next day, you might find her walking around the neighborhood at 7:30am wearing a dress with a tutu over it.

Every morning, you never know what your going to get and I LOVE it.  It is not uncommon to see her lying face down on a baseball field in a little dress.  She has also been known to chase after her brothers with a lightsaber while wearing bracelets.  Watch out boys.  This little one will have you buy her nice things and then beat the crap out of you.  It makes Mommy so proud.  

Who Didn't Love These Movies?

A quick Twitter conversation with Gilt Groupe last week reminded me of some absolutely fabulous movies I loved when I was younger.  As a matter of fact, if I was to turn on TBS and see any of these movies playing, I would stop everything that I was doing and watch.

Clueless
This one tops the list!
Cher, plaid mini skirts, mini backpacks and falling in love with Paul Rudd.
What is not to love about this movie?

Girls Just Want To Have Fun
I adored SJP and Helen Hunt in this movie!
Being a Catholic School girl myself, I could only dream of dancing in my
uniform and ending up on Dance TV
And lets not forget how hot Jeff was!

Can't Buy Me Love
I thought if I prayed hard enough, I would be Cindy Mancini.
I was obsessed with the white leather outfit and Rabbit Convertible.
And of course, ending up with Patrick Dempsey is not too shabby either.

The Bodyguard
I cannot explain why, but I LOVED this movie.
I blame Kevin Costner for being at the top of his game and hot.
And don't lie, you ALL loved the song (you know what I am talking about).

So I am starting to see a trend here.  Apparently a young girl loves movies that are cheesy, romantic and involve good looking guys.  Oh, and I cannot forget the amazing quotes ("Your a virgin who can't drive.").  Now if I could only find a VHS player to watch them.... 

Piperlime Sale = Time To Load Up On Some Accessories!

Lately I have realized how terrible I have been at updating my accessories (earrings, bracelets and necklaces).  It is embarassing.  Piperlime must have noticed that I needed some help because they just kicked off their Fall's Most Wanted Event.  Yes they have shoes  and apparel as a part of the event, but my goal was to hit up the accessories section.  There are some AH-MAZING prices and I was able to pick up a number of items for practically nothing (I must use the word "practically" because my husband would argue that "nothing" would mean free.....and it wasn't free.....but almost!).  And with Piperlime's FREE shipping, it makes the sale even better.  Here are some of my favorites but I HIGHLY recommend checking it out if you are in need of an accessory lift too!
