In Case You Are Interested....

This is what I will be doing tonight..........

Cocktails

Sushi

9:30 VIP Screening of New Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes... I am a Twilight Saga fan and damn proud of it! A friend of mine got me hooked on the book series last year and there was no going back! We have been waiting for this release for a year and the day has finally come! Can't wait!!! I love me some Edward Cullen!

Now lets just hope that the movie doesn't get spoiled by screaming teenage fans!

Have a Vamp-tastic night... I plan on it.

Reese Witherspoon: Pretty in Pink

It might just be me, but I like the fact that she comes off as such a regular woman. When she is out and about, she is never so over the top glam that you think she is going to a night club at 11am. Her style is relatable and easy to emulate. I like this look but I would have tweeked it a bit. I think a white tank would have been better suited, maybe something with a little ruffle. (I know, more of the ruffles but I can't help myself). So I recreated the outfit but then I also included an alternate top that I feel would work better... at least for me.

Jessica Alba: Earth Tones

I love how she color coordinates with her daughter. they both look so fall! I love everything about this look. I find myself gravitating towards leggings boots and sweater tunics daily. the color combination fits her well and looks gorgeous with her auburn hair.

It's Back!


There was quite a craze for this adorable Express sweater dress back in Winter of 2007. I was about 6 months pregnant that winter but I couldn't resist snagging the pink and grey one... belly and all. They went fast after Vanessa Minillo was photographed in one and about the only place you could find it afterward was Ebay. I am happy to report that they are back! There is only 2 colors available online in the stripes right now but I recommend checking your local Express store. My local stores only have black, gray and red so I will be snagging this online. There is also coupons floating around on the net for money off!

My ULTIMATE Wish List


I think we ALL have one of these lists. A list of ALLLLLLLL the pretty items we adore but don't splurge on. I create these lists in hopes of knocking a few items off of it as I go... particularly as they go on sale. While I like deals in any fashion, I have 2 stores that literally make me lose my willpower: J. Crew and Anthropologie. It's like a frenzy when I am in these stores and the word "budget" seems foreign and all self control is lost. So in order to keep my mind and wallet in check, I make wish lists. And I begin waiting.... and waiting.... for these items to go on sale or pop up on Ebay. I print pictures and keep them in a book so that even after seasons past, I search. I enjoy the hunt and the kill (okay, dramatic I know) of finding that item. I even use my lists to find a lookalike... and when it comes to J. Crew & Anthro... it really needs to be a near exact lookalike.

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share my extensive wish list. It is extreme (and obscene) but I can't help myself. While the prices on a lot of these items are not extreme, you can all relate that it ADDS UP. So patience is the key to this game.

As you can tell from my list, I am above and beyond girly. Ruffles, flowers, sequins, romantic detail, soft and silky flow, I am girly through and through..... and damn proud of it!

With that, I present my Anthropologie and J. Crew WISH LIST.
































































Lastly, not that I would ever do my wedding over, I am absolutely in LOVE with this wedding dress. The silhouette is so flattering and it has such a romantic flow to it.

Ashley Tisdale: Young & Fun




This look is a little bit mis-matched but I actually find it really cute on her. She always wears a random mix of things, yet I find that most times, she really pulls it off. That blue is gorgeous on her and I love it with the black tights and grey boots. That hat really brings a "winter feel" to this flirty little dress. The outer layers are a bit questionable. The jacket works but I wouldn't have done the sweater underneath. Too many colors. I also would have chosen a black bag... the Fendi seems to be a little out of place.

Besides that, I really dig her youthful style!

I also thought this dress would have been adorable for this look

Kate Moss: Stunning in Stripes

I think I understand why I love Fall & Winter so much: my boot obsession! I can't get enough of boots lately... it is almost out of hand! Boots are becoming my fall fashion trademark. My mom and I were out shopping the other day and I had my skinny jeans tucked into my boots and she says "That was so popular in the 70's, I always wore my boots like that!"... makes me want to save everything because somehow, the trends always come full circle!

Love the chic-ness of this look and the tuxedo blazer and of course... the boots.
