Where Did 2006 Go?

I can't believe its almost 2007. The holidays have been hectic, but its
my favorite time of year so it makes everything worth it. I had a
wonderful Christmas and so did my family and that puts a BIG smile on my
face. So now I'm thinking what will my resolutions be this year. Last
year(well this year's really) was to slow things down. And I did...
drastically. Extreme? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely, and I think its one of
the best things I've done. That being said its time to pick up the pace,
not back to my old ways but there is a happy medium and that's where I
will dwell in 2007.

What I'm Listening To Now: Jay-Z

I am still breaking in my new iPod (yes I finally gave in for an
upgrade, its a little roomy but it fits)
Its not very often my void for GREAT Hip-Hop can be filled. So it was
only natural that when I came across Kingdom Come, I knew it was an
absolute must for heavy rotation. I don't feel the need to explain how
great I think Jay-Z is because if you have ever listened to his music
then you already know. So instead I will give you some of my personal
favs....
"Hollywood" feat. Beyonce'
"30 Something"
"Beach Chair" feat. Chris Martin of Coldplay (one of, if not my favorite
band...ever)
"Minority Report" feat. Ne-Yo... Wow!
"Lost One" feat. Chrisette Michele

-All grown up

Sex And The City: The Movie

I can't wait!
Hopefully it will stick this time.

Good News

Beginning November 30th "Men In Trees" moves to Thursdays (where it
belongs, in my opinion) not only is it moving to a new night, but a full
season of "MIT" has been ordered as well. Yeah!!!
-I'm excited

I Almost Forgot

I was perusing itunes earlier this week and I came across "Deal Breaker"
a slightly humorous short story about a woman's dating dilemmas, that
was directed by Gwyneth Palrow. Its up on the iTunes store main page and
its a free download as well. I'm not sure if its a like the free music
download they do weekly, but just in case it is you have until Tuesday
before it changes to something else. Just thought I should post this in
case there is a Gwyneth fan (like myself) that wants to add her
directing debut to their iTunes film collection.

Rewind

This summuer I did a post on Dave Barnes and I can't help gushing about
this artist again (He's that good.)The more I listen to him the more I
love his music. I can't believe that this guy has not been a Vh-1 artist
"You Outta Know"... YET. If you haven't heard this man's music and if
you are like me who is always looking for great music, listen Dave. He
is truly an amazing gift.
-Enjoy

Just A Friendly Reminder: Once Again

John Legend's sophomore album "Once Again" is out this Tuesday. If you
aren't sure of who he is let me refresh your memory...Grammy winner,
with hit songs, "Ordinary People" and "Use To Love You" works with
Kanye West. And if you still have no clue who Legend is, think Oprah and
her Legends Ball. He was the only male invited so he could croon for
the ladies. I've heard a few songs from the album and let me tell you,
its something special. "P.D.A." is already a favorite song, and I
haven't even heard the entire album yet.

Back To My Old Ways

I made way back to Saturday morning yoga practice, and I feel great. I
had stopped going to Saturday practice for a month or so, and now
there's a different instructor, in fact its the same instructor that use
to sub for Saturday practices(whenever it was needed) Anyway her style
in more of a power yoga (I posted about her a few months ago.) Today's
practice was a nice change, and a wonderful work out. It was a bit
slower than what she normally does, but I did a lower body workout and
lots of cardio yesterday so I didn't mind, at all. Its different when
you go in not knowing what to expect for the flow of practice, then
going in expecting something/someone and getting something totally
different. This morning I wasn't sure what/who to expect, so everything
worked out well. That being said I will be starting back to my regular
Saturday practices again. Adding in one power yoga practice to my weekly
routine will spice things up a bit.

What I'm Listening to Now: Corinne Bailey Rae

Sometimes my reaction to some music artists is very delayed. Case in
point, Corinne Bailey Rae. I've heard her music before, but I just
recently started to really appreciate her. I have been missing out. She
has this organic sound that's... perfectly, imperfect. A real
unrehearsed style that's amazing. Its going into heavy rotation. There I
said it.

Truth Be Told...

I'm enjoying getting use to my new Sidekick3 just as much as I enjoy
breaking in a new pair of shoes. So I miss my SK2.
...I'll get over it, I always do.

I've Got My Eyes On...

Although I've said in the past that this is not a fashion blog(and its not)but the fact is I love fashion. However my intention is not to bombard you with endless fashion posts, but to keep you abreast of what's popping on my radar :)


Let's catch up, shall we? I love the ballet flats movement. They are comfy and you can dress them up & down, and I'm all about versatility (We can finally give the Manolo's and Choo's a break and still look chic.)I love these flats in metallics, sparklies, black and as pictured in this cute leopard print. London Sole

If you can't tell by now, I am a big Anthropolgie fan. I especially love their fall and winter seasons. The pieces from this store all seem to have a hint of nostalgia to them, which I love.
This jacket has grown on me. Again, the versatility puts a smile on my face. I can dress it down it with jeans or wear it to work with a fabulous skirt. Anthropologie

While perusing Girlshop (another favorite) I stumbled upon this "find" by Ziji.

When I was in Australia a few years ago, I was looking for some trendy pieces, Tsubi was one of the the brands that came highly recommended. Tsubi superskinny jeans with side zip, its time to pre-order at My Catwalk

I've Found My Way Back

Clearly I've been lost, why I haven't been able to make my way back to this blog. Besides the fact that I am absolutely devastated my sidekick is officially dead (which is what I do 80% of my blogging with) A few months ago I posted that I wanted the new Sidekick 3 but that was before it came out and I saw it in person and decided I prefer the SK2 instead. But now I have no choice but to upgrade. I thought about getting a Blackberry, but the Sidekick just seems more appealing to me its more fun and accommodates my needs more. So I'm giving in and upgrading...Whatever!
On the plus side its been nice having one phone to keep up with, but these days are soon over.

I have completely fallen off the Macrobiotics wagon. I will get back on....
I am narrowing down my list of what I've got my eyes on lately, so expect that post really soon.

Men In Trees

Kind of fills the Sex And The City void, in a PG sort of way.

That's It

Next year I will be having a Grey's Anatomy season premiere party. It
came to me a week ago that I should be doing a party but I didn't have
enough time to plan one. I am very annoyed with myself. But next year,
there will be a party. Everyone may have to wear scrubs, I don't know.
I hope everyone enjoyed the premiere as much as I did.

Let's Review

Let the gushing begin.
Continuum is brilliant. I absolutely adore this album. (I am very passionate about my music, if you haven't noticed by now.)The sound of this album is amazing. Songs like "Waiting On The World to Change & "Belief" are thought provoking and funky. The iPod heats up with the sexy sounds of "I Don't Trust Myself W/Loving You" & "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room." I love how innocent "Stop This Train" & "The Heart Of Life" are. And I can't stop hitting rewind and getting lost in "Bold As Love." And "In Repair" does nothing less than move me.

I expect we'll be hearing some of John Mayer's new music on Grey's
Anatomy this season (maybe a song or two. Just guessing) House already used "Gravity"(good choice, good episode) I also won't be shocked if I'm in a swanky, posh lounge somewhere, and the Dj plays a song from this album. This album just gives off that type of vibe.

Let Me Count The ways

Justin, Justin, Justin. How much do I love, love this album? It was
tough not to hit that rewind button, the first listen through but I stayed strong. Yes I have rules for listening to a new album...no rewinding any songs the first listen. All songs must be listened to in its entirety. (Gives all songs a fair chance.) This is a rule my cousin and I use to use for when N'Sync albums came out, since then I have implemented this rule for Justin and JC's efforts as well. From the first song "Futuresex/Lovesound I was like, yes, I like where he's taking us. "...My Love" & "Lovestoned..." I was trying not to break out in a dance(Loving the Prelude for both of those songs by the way, and the interlude for "What Goes Around" Insane!) Then I got to "Summer Love" Love It! I thought if there were no more great songs on this album I would still love it. And then there was "Losig My Way" Have I mentioned I love this album? Its safe to say more than Justified.Futuresex/Lovesound has officially been placed in heavy rotation.
- I'm lovin it

Who's First?

I've got both albums loaded in the iPod and I'm ready to go. And I've
decided to listen to Justin's album first, then Mr. Mayer. The deciding
factor was who I have been a fan of longer and (dare I say) MMC was
hands down(I may even have a few posters tucked away somewhere as
proof...maybe)
I haven't been this excited for an album release since Coldplay's "X&Y"
album.

I've Got My Eyes On...

I am not quite sure how often I will do this post. So I'm playing it by ear for now.

I'm a sucker for big bags and compartments. So I am loving this.. not-so little number( Marc by Marc Jacobs @ shopbop.com)


I have been a fan of White Trash Charms ever since Ms. Bradshaw wore her "Lightning Bolt" necklace on Sex And The City. This is...cute. The great thing about WTC righteous pieces are the chains come in not just one length, and you can get just about any of your pieces in silver or yellow or white gold. Whitetrashcharms


This dress is adorable for fall (maybe even the start of winter.)Anthropologie




I just may be the last person on earth who doesn't own a pair of these jeans. But I couldn't picture myself in them until now. But now that I can picture myself in them I will be getting them in a few colors(Oh yes, I've got shopping rules)Sass and Bide Net-A-Porter

Just A Friendly Reminder

As if you needed to be told, September 12th will be the release of John Mayer's 3rd (let's say)studio album Continuum.The man is so lyrically gifted (to say the least) its as though he can't stop putting music out there,(Bless him) so I won't bother including all of his live albums including the Trio.


Justin Timberlake's sophomore album Future Sex/Love Sounds will be another chart topper yet again. We got a little teaser at the MTV VMA's and all I'm saying is..."I liked what I heard."



Like normal if you pre-order on itunes, you get bonus tracks.
Reviews on both albums to follow.

Waiting with bated breath
