I've been lusting after this gold metallic Marc Jacobs Quilted Bow bag for a few weeks now. The little bow with the stud in the middle has totally stolen my heart....who knows maybe it will even steal my paycheck...

..::Go Fish::..


Photobucket

Every once in a while I need to remind myself that there's more sushi in the sea, but then again I'm quickly reminded that LaLa Land isn't quite the sea I'd like it to be. It's more of a pond. Today I'm sick of fishing, you know what I mean?

It's my PARTY and I'll cry if I want to....WAIT, WHAT?!!? There's no crying allowed on your birthday, well not my birthday at least. Lolopalooza 2010 has been amazing so far and just because today is my actual birthday doesn't mean its over! I still have one more celebration back home with all my friends and family next week and I couldn't be more excited. I have a feeling that this year is going to be the most FABULOUS year yet. Why, you ask? BECAUSE I woke up today and just felt like I was going to take over the world. Its a great feeling. Can't wait to see what adventures the day brings...watch out BOSTON!

..::I'm a FIREWORK::..

Dear Katy Perry,
Thank you for this song. It totally made my day today.
For a split second, I almost forgot who I was, but you're right.
I AM A FIREWORK. Now excuse me while I go and give someone
a piece of my mind.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Naturally since its my birthday week all I can think about are things that sparkle. Yesterday I wore my sparkly ballet flats to work and that definitely lifted my spirits throughout the day. Today I'm lusting after this gorgeous ring from Anthropologie. I love the hammered gold setting and twisted band. I need this in my life. Perhaps I'll walk down the street and try it on today. Its a lovely November day to not be working.

When it rains, it pours. Sometimes in my imagination, when it rains, it rains couture gowns. Other times it rains with the sudden attention of the wrong parties. Last week was kind of crazy for me. Pasadena one day, Newport Beach the next, Wednesday-Friday in Vegas, a date night with the Prince, an afternoon in the hair chair, and a my LA Lolopalooza Party. Thus the lack of posts in case anyone out there was wondering where I happened to fall off to. This week is similarly crazy....its a good thing I love crazy. I'm headed to Boston on Thursday and I'm super excited, especially because I'll be spending my birthday there. I've decided that if I do one thing while I'm there, I have to go to the original CHEERS. I grew up in a house above Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson and I just feel like its mandatory that I pay homage to my childhood in this way. Any other suggestions for must see stops in Bean Town?

I know Halloween is long gone and I had hoped to post this sooner, but let's face it, I'm a busy girl these days. Okay, I'm always busy, but I figured it was better late than never especially considering I'm still being reminded of the costume as I keep finding heart cards in the most random places. In fact, just last week my friend Erin found one wedged in the back seat of her car! The costume won major originality points, but failed the durability test. Unfortunately it was a one time wear, a true original. I'm pretty sure I left a "piece of my heart" all over LaLa Land. Success.

Life is complicated, but in reality there are usually reasons behind every action. Sometimes its necessary to sit back and realize that the world doesn't revolve around your schedule and that's okay. Everything will work itself out in time.

Fell in LOVE with this bangle at Madewell.com. It would look amazing with my Michael Kors watch, which is currently in need of a little more sparkle.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backward.
You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." - Steve Jobs

A blessing or a curse? Or sometimes both? Its a bizarre realization that when you are involved in something you can't always see as clearly as when its over and you're standing on the outside looking back. In the end I prefer to look back and think of my mistakes as lesson's learned, but sometimes those lessons are hard to swallow and eventually are repeated. Regrets? Never. Because at one time, it was exactly what I wanted and I'll never sacrifice what I want. Here's hoping that these new dots are going to connect in my future into the picture I've always dreamed of....

SUNDAYS. I LOVE SUNDAYS. I know most people aren't fond of Sunday because it means the weekend is over, but I feel quite opposite about the last day of the week. Sundays are usually my most productive and relaxing days all in one. I guess that's what happens when you combine chores and mimosas....I'm telling you, its the only way to do chores. Happy Sunday.

..::November Sizzle::..


Photobucket

There are some days that I don't have a single creative thought left in my brain. This week has been full of 90* weather and holiday window displays, which has been an interesting combo to say the least. Waking up before dawn after little sleep is hard, but phone calls that last well into the wee hours of the night are well worth it. Needless to say I've felt a lack of creativity this week, but hoping to be back in full effect next week after a fun filled weekend with the Prince, a Mother - Daughter drinking and shopping adventure and then brunch with my girlfriends. This photograph describes my sentiments towards the heat....too hot for anything but cute, lacey underthings and ice cold champagne.

I've been on the hunt for a bag in this shade of camel for several months. I've come across a few that I like, but there's something about this Rebecca Minkoff that I can't get out of my head. I love the size of it and the fact that I can wear it cross body...who doesn't love having free hands?!? Perhaps this will be my present to myself for Lolopalooza this year....after all I've been a very good girl, well sort of....

I LOVE this feeling. Everyone deserves this feeling.
Today is day one of Lolopalooza and I can't think of a better way to start birthday month than with date night, especially when date night includes cookies and ice cream.
