The Hills Artwork

I.Absolutely.Die

Sorry Eli Saab and Herve Leger...there's a new fav designer in town; Zuhair Murad.

He hails from Lebannon and his creations have that applique feel that a lot of Eastern designers use. He manages to add just enough glitter and frill without making the gown look like a 1980's Prom reject piece. Tons of celebs wear his creations and I can see why. Literally E-V-E-R-Y dress on his site is amazing.

Soooooooo Happy For Them!!!

Yay yay yay! I wanted her to pick Ed from the very beginning! As soon as he came back I knew he was going to be the one.

I was so irritated that she kept picking Wes (now it was obvious that it was the producers decision) and Kiptyn. What kind of a name is Kiptyn?

Because I am preggers I am already overly emotional, but when I watched the finale, oh my goodness did I cry. I cried through 90% of it, especialy when Ed looked in her eyes and said he loved her....."sigh". The front of my shirt was soaking wet by the first 30 mins!

Although I was also really rooting for Reid, I would have been so mad if she went against her heart and chose him. Thanks Chris Harrison for saying "Are you excited about Ed being your husband? Is that what you want in your heart? Then you know what you have to do". Phew that was a close one. I thought she might actually leave Ed!

I have not yet watched "After The Final Rose" but I hope everything worked out and I hope Wes has enough nerve to actually show up and get what's coming to him. Oh and by the way, his song that he sang over and over for Jillian......it's not that good, his voice kinda sucks, and he is a fool for thinking this is going to get him good publicity...everyone thinks he's a douch! So be prepared when his total record sales are only 200 copies; 46 that his mom will buy and 164 for us all to torch.

Jesus Peiro

I am already married but seem to still love looking at wedding dresses, especially designs from Jesus Peiro.

Isn't this next photo to die for!

Wedding dress? Evening wear? Who cares, they're gorgeous!

August 9th Will Be B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Season 2 of The Rachel Zoe Project starts in 13 days and I am super excited! I loved season 1 so much that I just rewatched it in preparation for next Sunday.

I don't live in L.A, I don't swoon over vintage, and I am certainly not a fashionista but this show had me hooked from episode 1. Rachel is just so funny and.....so "Rachel". And I LOVE Taylor and her hillarious facial expressions while bitching about one thing or another. Rachel will shut-it-down this season!

How beautiful is she!

Apartment Therapy Finds

THIS is why I head over to www.apartmenttherapy.com every day and browse through the endless posts. Great pics and finds like this make it worth sorting through all the eclectic, vintage, boho posts that really don't tickle my fancy.

I sooo want to have a cute little sand garden on my coffee table with bamboo, cactai, and of course the cute mini rake for play time!
And how cute of an idea is this coat rack? Need I say more?

Completely Vulgar And Completely Hillarious

Yes I went to see Bruno the DAY it opened! I had been waiting for this release for months and was sure it was going to be a crazy flic. What I was not prepared for was the straight on lengthly shots of Sasha's Penis flopping around while talking to the camera, the full on gay sex scenes using instruments I cannot even describe, or the amount of shocked gasps emitting from the theatre.

For about 30% of the film I was so in disbelief that I sat at the front of my chair with my hand over my mouth not knowing what to think. And there were moments when I laughed sooo hard I cried.

Was it vulgar, yes. Was it hillarious, yes. Was it all it was cracked up to be, ohh yes.

Beautiful Cavalli Ad Posters

Some Of Cavalli's Designs

After seeing the dress in the center on another blog, I became inspired to view more of Roberto Cavalli's dresses, like the one on the right which made an appearance at the 2009 Oscars.

Can anyone remember which uber-famous celeb wore the dress on the left a few years ago?

Lady G

Oh the wonder that is Lady Gaga. Some of my favorite pics:

Do I think she's nutty and off the wall? Completely, but she's so talented and stylish!

Designer Alexis Mabille

Thanks to Casando Ideias I found a new designer that I love. Alexis Mabille hails from France (obviously!) and his 9 years spent working at Dior definetly shows! The dress on the right is my fav. It has an "Elie Saab" feel.

Take A Bite Out Of These!

Check out these super cute post-it fruits! I saw them on www.apartmenttherapy.com and thought they were adorable. It would be neat if you could rip them out in bite size pieces.

Mmmm

How delish does THIS look! Would I actually have the guts to eat the cone though?
Although I am only 4 weeks along, and I have been craving salty more than sweet this looks amAzing right now!

A Beautiful Composer

Thanks to Limewire for giving me search results for the wonderfully talented pianist when I wasn't looking for him at all. His name is Yurimo and apparently he's done some tracks for the Twilight movie, and is gaining a lot of popularity right now. His music is so calming and "simple".

We Are......Expecting!

Today we found out we are going to have a baby! This is my first, and my husband's third.

I could not believe it when the stick showed a plus sign.....I had to look again and again to make sure! I ran into the bedroom and woke him up and started crying and laughing at the same time! We had only been trying for 2 months, so I consider this a miracle (since I was on birth control pills for 9 years!).

After talking to a good friend about my options, I have decided to go with a midwife to get that extra personal care and attention. My first appointment is not until July 16th, but according to internet calculators, the due date is Valentine's Day!

I have a "feeling" it's a girl. I just know it!

Oh How This Made Me Laugh

I saw this online yesterday with the heading "Verne Troyer Is In This Photo Somewhere"

Can you spot him? :)

My New PINK Camera

I decided to sell my Canon Powershot G3 and downgrade to something smaller and cuter :)

The Canon was too large to tote around and had too many specs that I never used.

So, being a typical girl, my first requirement in a new camera was that it was PINK! So I decided on the Fujifilm Finepix J20. It's a beautiful shade of fuschia and has a super large screen. It also came with a super cute fuschia carrying case. The megapixels are the same as my previous camera so hopefully the pics will turn out just as nice.

My New Favorite Game

Last night I learned 2 new games at the casino. For the first 30 minutes that I watched my hubby play Caribbean Stud I thought it was a stupid game with retarded odds. But then I started to understand the concept of the ante bet, and like the idea of winning that bet as long as the dealer does not qualify.

Then I ventured over to the Spanish 21 table. Now, I am a P-R-O at Blackjack, and have won countless amounts of money, but I have never wanted to dabble in Spanish 21 for fear of messing up on the 12's and 13's. Well, last night I found my new favorite game! I won $100 in 20 minutes, and I LOVE the concept of taking back half your bet, getting paid instantly on all 21's, hitting multiple times on split aces, and being able to double down anytime! How have I never played this before!!!!!!!

My First Garage Sale

This weekend I am having my first garage sale! Growing up I've done many combined with my mom and other family members, but never alone. I've prepared for weeks, organizing and pricing everything to a tee. Now I just hope people come!

I used to host my own little lemonade and cookie stand...but I think 26 is a little too old for that now :)

Goal: $220

Actual: 210
