Thirdtime's a Charm

I do believe this is my third attempt to try to restart this blog. That being said, I'm going back to square one. Blabbing, yes blabbing, about one of my most favorite things, fashion.

Update

So my sunnies arrived yesterday. And may I say they're huge. I'm talking Mary-Kate & Ashley huge. But I kind of dig that. We'll see I have to put them on again. They may be going back.

Only a few more days of "Restaurant Week" left, and may I suggest not going to Rosa Mexicano.

There's Nothing Like Great Customer Service

So I'm going to Chicago next week. And I am so pumped so I ordered a pair of the Grey Ant Status Sunglasses for my trip from Revolve Clothing yesterday. They have free 2-3 day shipping which would be enough time for my glasses to get here for my trip. However, things happen and they have been inundated with orders and my order's status hadn't changed yet. Naturally, I was getting nervous and decided to shoot them a quick WTF email (j/k) so they told me they've been backed up and my order would go out today. Normally, I would let it slide, but this meant that my shades wouldn't be arrive in time for my trip. So I explained if I knew this was going to be the case I would have opted to expedite my shipping. So, they apologized for the inconvenience and upgraded my shipping...NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. That's what I call service. I'm not sure if my other store (which shall remain nameless) would have done the same.



Happy Friday! The weather is gorgeous perfect for Alfresco.



Coming soon: "I've Got My Eyes"


Love & Luck

Color of the Week

One of my weekly rituals is getting a manicure. Part of the fun is picking a funky color. I try and pick a new color every week. Every once in a while, I love my pick so much that I will wear it two weeks in a row. The past two weeks my pick has been Essie's "Secret Stash" I've tried a lot of Essie's hot pink shades and "Secret Stash" is by far my favorite.

-I'll file this under T.M.I

Its Almost Here

Finally, after three years Coldplay is going to bless us with a new album. I am so excited I can hardly breathe. (I'm so dramatic, I know) But this is only my favorite band in the world. I am quite disappointed I didn't win tickets to the free show at MSG. But I'm ok, I will go see them in Jersey or Atlanta. Yes you read correctly Atlanta.

Just Wondering

By any chance did anyone happen to go to Dave Barnes' show last night at Mercury Lounge? I wanted so much to go, but I had to pack for my now delayed flight to Houston. The album just keeps growing on me and I am just wondering how the songs went over live.

-Boarding...FINALLY!!!

I'm Goin' to Texas

(In my best southern accent) Yes its true I'm heading to good old Texas on Friday. Houston to be exact. I've never been and I'm quite curious to see what Texas is all about. I'm going to have a laid back weekend with my family. They have it all planned out for me. When you live in a place like New York its like ok what can top this? So I go with an open mind ready to experience something new.

I've Found Them

I am almost positive these are them. I am so thrilled and now I can rest easy. Dita "Cruz" Sunglasses at Eye 5 $275.

-I'll take em!

I Want It Now!

I feel like breaking into song. Remember Veruca Salt? (Ok, I think that may have been a miss on that one)
Every time I see Shayne Lamas on the "Bachelor: London Calling" wearing her shades. I go crazy because I want them. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know who the designer is. I'm normally good at this sort of thing. Am I losing my touch??? God I hope not. I've posted the best pic I could find of her in her sunglasses. If you know who the designer is please put me out of my misery and let me know. Until then I will continue my search in hopes to find MY shades. (Just in case, she's the blonde)

Review: "Me and You and the World"

My last post came off a bit harsh. I'm not eating my words, but that was definitely not my intention. I have had this album in heavy rotation purely because I adore it, and I can't stop listening to it. Its comforting. "Nothing Else" gives you a nice, warm fuzzy feeling, soothing and soul pleasing. Dave is a pro at keeping his southern soulful, blues tone present in his music, and I love him for that (listen to "Since You Said I Do.") "Adeline" and "When a Heart Breaks" will touch you.
For a limited time iTunes has added "Me and You and the World" to the "Next Best Thing Sale" for only $5.99. Such a SOLID album. What a steal!

Between Us

I think when you find a good thing, you should share the wealth, so here I am sharing one of my favorite places in the city. Bloomie Nails for mani./pedi. nestled in Chelsea this is one weekly splurge that I have no apologies for. They have every essie and O.P.I color and on a slight chance they don't have it they will make sure its in the salon for your next visit. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for, great service and great location and a nice salon, what more could you ask for. Tracy and Lisa are my favs. I'm always up to try new places but I always leave disappointed and wishing I went to Bloomie.
Every week I try to use a different color, this week I went with a mixture of two new shades, "Looking for Love" and "Great Expectations" (both essie). Ok T.M.I. Looks adorable.

What I'm Listening to: Dave Barnes

"Me and You and the World" Is playing as I type. I like what I hear thus far. I will say that I'm a little disappointed that two of the songs are from his "Brother, Bring the Sun" album. Seems like the creative juices ran out, and those two songs were put in as "Fillers". But who am I to judge. They're good songs and maybe I'm wrong but hey... Other than that I'm enjoying the album its honest and catchy just like the Dave Barnes sound we're accustom to and love. Its a bit too "Studio" slightly over-processed at times. And that I think, can sometimes make a good song bad. But, I'm going to give this album a few good listens and see if my thoughts have changed.

What I'm Listening to Now: Danity Kane

Now that my iTunes shopping cart is fixed. (Those of you still waiting for the fix, email tech. support and they will and they will clear it out for you which will solve the 5002 error. I didn't get the memo, that my shopping cart shouldn't be used as a wish list. I digress.) "Welcome to the Dollhouse" was the first album to purchase and I like what I hear. "Strip Tease" totally Sick...LOVE IT! I bet this whole album will become part of my workout playlist.

I Can't Believe I Watched...

The Hills season premier. I'm not a big fan of the show, but every once in a while I'll tune in. How gorgeous was Paris??? I think I watched for that reason alone. I wonder how many trips are now in the works because of that episode, mine included?

-I'm glad Lauren got rid of that black nail polish.

I've Got My Eyes On...

Its been a long time since I have done a post of what I'm on the verge of purchasing. I've been eyeing this bag for a few weeks and I think it would be a nice addition.
ELuxury Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Hillier Hobo Bag $478. The smaller Dr. Q is at Neiman Marcus for $398. I could have sworn I saw it at Shopbopbut if I did its not there anymore, which is a shame...no tax and no shipping. Oh well!

I love Ksubi (Formerly Tsubi) jeans especially these babies : Super skinny Zip in "Grease Black" at My Catwalk $261.

These pants were made for strutting.

-Work it!

What "I've Been Listening" To: Sara Bareilles

Since I haven't done this post in forever I figured I need to play catch up with a few posts. So here it goes.
I didn't give in to this album until recently. I heard the catchy number "Love Song" too many times to count. I found myself singing the song at random moments (still do. *grin*) so I said "To iTunes" and the download began. To my pleasant surprise "Little Voice" is a good album. Unexpectedly good. Listen to "Vegas,". "Morningside," "Fairytale."

Revival

I have completely deserted this blog, and that is just poor. I always say I will do better. So this time I will try something new... Not say, just do.
More to come.

Fresh Out of Ideas

As you know I'm going on my first trip to Europe. So I am now desperately seeking some comfy, TRENDY shoes that I can prance around Europe in. I don't want to wear sneakers. Besides ballet flats, what are some other options? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
