Thank You Justin For Posting This

From http://www.mojointhemorning.com/ :

Justin Timberlake suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - and the anxiety-based condition is taking over his life. JT says he is overly-obsessed with neatness and often spends hours making sure objects are lined up perfectly, but the stress that comes with the disorder is often debilitating. Plus, Justin said that he's also dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Sufferers experience forgetfulness, hyperactivity, and are easily distracted. Justin claims he has managed to get his condition under control, but it still creates everyday challenges for him. He says, "I have OCD mixed with ADD. You try living with that. It's complicated."

I completely understand JT, I completely understand. Thank you.

It Wasn't Real!

A while back I posted a story about a wallet I had recieved through a friend. I questioned it's authenticity, and now I know it was fake. Reason #1, the front button popped off after 1 months use. Reason #2, when I took it to the leather shop to be repaired, the repair man laughed at me. He told me the repair would cost more than the wallet. And the repair was $11.00! (He was right).

Reason #3....ummm....Louis Vuitton store said so :(

But oh well, I will still stick the $10.00 wallet in my $996.00 bag!

What A Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hubby bought me a R-E-A-L Louis!

Oh my goodness! He'd been bugging me to get one (I guess he felt for some reason that I deserved one) and I kept saying no no no. Well, he got a promotion yesterday, and this morning I woke up and decided "sure" let's go spend a mortgage payment.

I drove 1 hour with a friend to get to Troy, MI and wow was I in wonderland! Summerset Mall had every store! Coach, Gucci, Betsy Johnson, Max Azria, Juicy, Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton!
Stepping into the Louis Vuitton store was undescribable. All the sales people were so posh and proper. I didn't know if I should touch anything. I have been looking for weeks for the perfect bag, and I decided it was the Popincourt Haute. I inspected it and even the smallest imperfection I found the salesperson would deem the bag unsellable, and back to the shop it would go. After weighing my options (everything looks so different in person) that's what I walked out with.

My stomach was turning when we were in the store, and I almost didn't go through with it. But I gotta say......I bet when I walked in there with my 14.99 purse from Payless, and my 6.99 flip flops from Target....they never thought they would get a sale out of me.....I felt so important.

And I know this is probably so amateurish of me but...I touched a Herve Leger dress today! The Max Azria store caught my eye just as we were walking by, and there it was....the bandage dress. I would never try one on (I could tell the sales people were already wondering why I was in that store) but to actually feel them was incredible! They had everything from his Spring 08 collection (my fav). I just stared in awe.

I also realized today that I LOVE Betsy Johnson. Her party dresses are incredible!

This shopping trip to get a Louis turned out to be so fab! I felt in a fantasy land. This mall was so huge, and the high-society women walking around was almost laughable. Oh and not to mention the gangster "wannabe" pimps buying their "ho's" something special from Gucci....laughable.

*sigh* I am off to fill my purse (then call my husband -who works out of town- to tell him that I actually went through with it.....I don't think he knows how much they ACTUALLY cost)

It was a good day :)

Loving it!

This is the perfect dress for someone who loves their legs and hates their arms....aka...ME! J Lo wore this a few years ago and it's by Alberta Ferretti.

I love a good mini dress, especially one that gives some loose room in the tummy section too! If I raided a local thrift store, I could probably find something that looks remotely close....with a 70's style. Any chance I could just call up Alberta Ferretti and ask for a copy:)

Or I could take the advice of another blogger..."If you blog it, it will come"

Secret Twins?

This past Friday a friend and I went to see "The Happening" which starred Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. It was such a waste of an evening and I will never get those 90 minutes of my life back. Throughout the movie I was thinking that Zooey Deschanel really looks familiar (I've only seen a few of her movies) and then it came to me...she looks exactly like Katy Perry. For those of you who DON'T know...Katy Perry is a new artist who sings that song "I Kissed A Girl". It's a very annoying song, but does have a catchy beat. I then went home and researched some comparasin photos of the two ladies, and they look like identical twins! See for yourself. Zooey is on the left, and Katy is on the right.

Dandelion Blush Set

I was flipping through In Style this weekend and saw this super cute blush box in an ad for Benefit Cosmetics. I've never heard of them before so I checked out their site benefitcosmetics.com. I absoultely love the idea of blush being in a cute box, but $28 is a little pricey for me. I like that it's a flat brush because I hate using a jumbo round one for blush. The hairs spread out from the pressure on your skin, and then ruin very easily. I might have to buy this and try applying blush using the "sweeping" technique.

Think THIS Is Cute?

Thanks so much to another blogger who posted this hilarious site. Soft baby heels!!!
http://www.heelarious.com/index.php
I myself just started getting an obsession with cute high heels in the last few years
and even though this idea is a little creepy, I would totally get a par of the "Ella" (shown below) for my new born daughter. I am gonna order a pair as soon as I find out I am having a girl.

DDR Diet

I have tried many diets......atkins, low carb, fatloss4idiots.com, flush the fat and low cal. I have only been able to lose 5 lbs with each one i try (after gaining the 5 back from the previous attempt) so now I am back on the low cal (sticking to under 1100 calories a day) and today I am adding the Dance Dance Revolution diet to it. I've read a lot about weight loss with this game, and I love how it can count the calories burned. I am borrowing the Mario version from a friend and I start my quest tonight.

I will keep you updated on my progress. I started my low cal diet on June 9th, weighing 165 lbs. Today June 13th I am down to 164 lbs!

My Love For Mediterannian Style Homes

My husband and I want to move in a few years, and we've very loosely talked about our mutual love for Mediterannian-style homes. I really like the two here but they are way too big for us. I think what draws me to this style of home is more so the red roof and yellow sides rather than the architecture itself. The first picture is my favorite because even though it's Mediterannian, it still feels a little country-tranditional with the cute porches on the side.

Boy Baby Room Ideas

If I DO have a boy, I really like these themes. Luckily for me, my mother sews so I think I'll ask her to make it all :) Although these are not as "peaceful" as some others, I love the dark rick brown and turquoise.

My New Shoes

I've never been much of a shoe hog but when walking through the mall last week, I saw these shoes that I just absolutely had to have! They didn't have my size but they special ordered them, and they should be in today!

$80 is a little more than I would spend on a pair of heels (since I rarely wear them) but I couldn't resist. Well, technically mommies bank account couldn't resist cause I used her card, tee hee. I bought the black ones.

Now I want them in pink too. I can just see myself all cute and pregnant in these adorable pink shoes! Hopefully my husband can too cause I'll have to explain to him why I have two pairs.

Is It Real?

Ok so...listen to this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G story. A friend of a friend ordered a sex chair (yes...a sex chair) from an online company who apparently gets their product from overseas sellers. When the postman delivered her box, she opened it up and there was an absence of a sex chair. Instead.....sneakily covered under garbage bags and wrap, were 20...count them...20 LOUIS VUITTON, CHANNEL, and GUCCI wallets!!!!!!!!!!! They were EACH in individual boxes, and inside the boxes they were wrapped in monogrammed tissue paper. In each box came an authenticity card, and care card. She freaked out and called her friend who called me. We went over and I got a Louis Vuitton wallet. Now, you have to understand....Louis Vuitton is my absolute FAV! I was so excited. I couldn't beleive it! I was shaking actually being able to hold and OWN one of these! Inside the folds of the wallet is stamped "made in paris", and the care card talks about Marc Jacobs and his new designs for Louis Vuitton. As soon as I got home I researched if this could at all be a fake....could it? From when the websites say, it seems real, and when you open the box and pull it out, the leather smell is sooooooo amazing.

I just feel too lucky for this to be real! Does anyone know how to FOR SURE tell? Would Louis Vuitton be offended if I went into their store and asked? I don't know what to do.

I almost felt like I shouldn't use it, but the pride I feel when I whip out my $600 wallet (for my $20 Wal-Mart purchase) is better than any feeling a sex chair could ever bring. She is well off and doesn't need the money, so she gave her friends the wallets at a price of $20.00 each!

So even though me and my friend are beaming over our wallets, the girl who ordered the chair is furious cause she wanted her chair! I guess the fact that she has over $10,000 worth of designer merchandise in her house doesn't matter. And to top it off...(which makes me think these items are definetly real) the company realized their mistake and have been sending her threatening emails demanding the product back! She's not going to return it, so things could turn ugly. This pic is exactly how my box came.....so is it real?

Love This Swimsuit

I've been noticing a lot lately that celebrities are sporting swimsuits that have tattoo designs on them. Denise Richards, Britney Spears, and Heidi Montag. They are all from "Ed Hardy" and his collection is awesome! Because I've gained 30 pounds in the last 2 years, I think I'll opt for the 1 piece cut out. He also makes sweats, tanks, and super cute long hoodies too.

The Bandage

Most celebrities and people in general usually have a fav designer. Well although I am not into fashion THAT much, I have found a designer in particular that I am in awe of. Herve Leger!
I was sitting on my front porch ready US Weekly (which is basically my 2nd Bible) and Christina Aguilera was wearing his dresses in all of her spreads. I fell in love with the so called "bandage dress". I could never fit into one of them myself (and still manage to look decent) but I immediately came inside and looked up his collection. I agree that his work is mostly for the pin-thin kind, but I still adore it! This has given me inspiration to find a fav designer of a more "couture" like collection.
