Red Carpet Dresses I Love

A Funny

Hahahaha, there are no words, no words to describe how absolutely hillarious this is!

Oh my gosh, this makes me laugh sooooooo hard! I love the look of animals in human clothes, and this just takes the cake. The little guy is all geared up and ready to go and he looks so serious!

The Most Beautiful Woman In The World

She is my opinion of the most beautiful woman in the world. When I first saw Donalds daughter Ivanka on The Apprentice a few seasons back I was struck by her beauty. She was so poised and confidant as her fathers "advisor" for the episode and I think she is a great role model considering all the other celebrities out there who claim to be role models. She has some of the same features as "Phoebe" from "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" but yet I do not find Phoebe that beautiful. Hmmm.

She also makes an amazing jewelery line. I love how most of the prices are shown on the site (something not a lot of clothing or jewelery lines do). Her Pagoda line is my fav. I love almost every piece, I also like her Mixed Cut Line. Although, I must say that for an impatient person, the flash website is a little slow transferring between imaegs.

Why Oh Why Can't I Get Through These

I've had American Psycho for almost 6 months, and The Truth About Diamonds for 2 years, and I just can't for the life of me finish either of them.

I obviously bought TTAB because of my love for Nicole Richie. The book was OK and had a lot of juicy plot lines, but I just never got around to finishing it. I then moved on to other reads.

I bought American Psycho because I heard that it was very gruesome (yup I'm a sicko). But I have yet to get to the good parts, and everything i've read so far is just borring. I find the characters unentertaining and a chore to read about.

But since these are the only two books I have NOT borrowed from the library, I feel I must get my money's worth and finish them soon.

You Put The Lime In The Coconut

How much would I give to be drinking out of THAT right now. It's been almost 2 years since I did this in Panama, and I think I am overdue.

My Blog Makes Me Happy

Today I realized that my blog makes me very happy.

There was a time when I felt my blog was bogging me down, and it was a chore to maintain it.

Now I love what it represents (my likes, dislikes,) and it gives me a chance to save all my creative ideas, or things I see that I might want to look over again in the future. I view it as a "memory box" for the digital age. I like searching for all the pictures for my posts, and love seeing the imges that make me smile, thus it makes me happy. Does yours make you happy. I hope so.

Adorable 40's Navy Pin Up Vectors

I found these super cute vector drawings online, and after some searching I found out they are part of the advertising campaign for an Xbox game called Battlestations Midway. I think the women in this decade were very sensual and feminine, so I can see why they used these images for the game. I wish they had made more, but all I can find are these 12. I just watched the trailer for the air/sea attack game, and it looks really cool. I don't think they have a version for PS2 though.

My Creativity Stops There

I can scrapbook like a mo-fo, create enless beautiful craft projects, and tickle the ivories to my own composed songs, but when it comes to drawing, my creativity stops there. I would LOVE to be able to draw fashion sketches especially haute couture like the ones above, but I cannot for the life of me make a human form look like anything other than a cammel with an extra hump (yes I've tried in an embarassing game of Pictionary).

If I lived in LA I would definetly enrol at FIDM but I guarantee I would get a 36% in sketch class.

4th Time Is A Charm

I have 3 tattoos already and all three of them I regret. But I don't think that would stop me from getting my new obesssion.........an exact replica of Nicole Ritchie's ankle rosary tattoo. I am struggling with the question of whether this tattoo would be blasphemous to my Christian faith. I do not pray to Mary, but to Jesus. I like the idea of a cross being on my body, but does the chain portion then make it a rosary? I might have to look into this a bit more first!

I Want You To Want Me

What Really Grinds My Gears

I saw this really cute post on another blog site, so here's my own "What Really Grinds My Gears" list:

-Slow Drivers
-Paperclips that have fallen on my office floor
-Radio Stations repeating the same music over and over
-Clothes not being hung up at the end of the day
-Crumbs and water rings on the glass coffee table
-Slow internet connections
-Customer Service Agents who can't speak english

Fashion Looks That I Love

One of my favorite things to do on the computer is to look for images in "google images" of celebrities and fashion. While most of the fashions and red carpet outfits are way out of my league, I still get great ideas from celebrities' everyday fashion, such as these.

Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful...

We had our first snowfall last night, and although it was barely enough to cover the ground it still made me fell all warm and Christmassy! I am now in the mood to bust out the Chrismas decorations and put up the tree that has been hiding for the past 10 months begging me to adorn its branches with the wonderful scheme of gold and copper that I chose.


Update: Ok it's the next morning and I awoke to THIS:

Beautiful Designs From Elie Saab

Is this week my "Fashion Week" or something?

I saw some Elie Saab gowns on celebrities, and they are so beautiful! I liked almost every dress I saw. I was disapointed though when I went to his site, and the gowns in his show and collection are not nearly as impressive as what I saw the celebs wearing on the red carpet recently. These are my 3 fav.

I also love this Elie Saab ad. Everything about it, the gown, the background, the pose....simply elegant.

Very Impressive Blog

Click here to go to an amazing Portuguese blog I found about weddings and fashion.

I am so impressed by the blog, I've scrolled through it for hours already, and have only gotten through 1 month of postings.

I found it by searching "Marchesa" in google. There are tons of images from fashion shows such as Channel, Gallilano, and YSL.

I am already married, but this blog is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G site for help with ideas on wedding dresses, cakes, favors, decorations, photography, and EVERYTHING else wedding-related. The photos are so beautiful and creative. Makes me want to become a wedding planner :)

If there were annual "bloggies", this site would definetly have my vote!

I think I might have to add this site to my daily list of "must-checks" each morning. This list currently includes:

Loving Marchesa's Designs!

Rachel Zoe is a huge fan of Marchesa and since watching The Rachel Zoe Project, I too have come to love their designs. They use a lot of black and white combined with embroidered patterns and lace. They also incorporate tons of organza, chiffon, and tulle which I LOVE. I've also noticed that frills and bunching of fabric is big in the Marchesa line. So cute. While the black and white pieces are very crisp and sophisticated, they also have some beautiful pastel gowns with lovely frills, and whimsical features.

Marchesa is definetly more friendly to my body type, as Herve Ledger was NOT (they call it a bandage dress for a reason). These are my top Marchesa designs.

And I love their ad photos. So light and angelic how the fabric flows in these unique shots.

Strip My Way To Fitness? Or Not

I have had the 1st and 2nd DVD's of her Aerobic Striptease for over 3 years now, and I think it's finally time to use them. I got into it for a few weeks in 2005, and learned some routines, but like everythis else fitness related that I start - I always give up early on. Even after typing this post, I already don't feel like going through with it :)

The Most Chic Way To Store Data

These is a Swarovski USB memory stick and I so want it. What a cute way to store all my files and pics! It also comes as a heart pendant that splits in two but I love the lock idea! I saw this in person at the Swarovski store in Edmonton. I can get it on Ebay for $178 approx. Too chic for my blood.

French Inspired Decorating!

I would love to have a room or two in my house that is decorated with antique french-inspired pieces. I love the look of brocade and antique patterned wallpaper. I found this amazing site which sells wonderful furniture pieces and accessories. I am in love with everything in their catalogue!
