I'm On The Naughty List
If Santa had a list of bad bloggers, I'd surely be near the top of the list. I don't know where my time has gone, but it definitely hasn't been devoted to this space lately. I promise I'm working on some things, more to come over the break and in the new year. In the meantime, pop on over to JOAT to see a few of my favorite things among other goodies. Merry Merry!
I'm sure the majority of us agree that Mondays typically blow. We're sleepy, in need of coffee and one more day to get things done. I wish every weekend could be a three day weekend. But this Monday means I'm one day closer to heading to San Diego for the weekend to see my bff, B who's in town to do her thing at the San Diego State game. Can't wait! xo
No Words
Recently I experienced something that truly rocked my world and shook me to my core. 23 days ago my bff married Andy, the man of her dreams. I proudly stood up there with them sharing in their utmost special of days. 14 days ago the world and my bff lost Andy. I've never encountered anything so incomprehensible, unimaginably painful and heartbreaking. Absolutely no words suffice, zero.zip.zilch, to even express the tragedy of this loss. My silly little blog seems so ridiculous and unimportant. Who cares about clothes, shoes, hair, makeup and cute celebs. I would give away all my belongings so my girl could have her husband back even for one more day...one more hour. I am blessed to have known and loved him - he was amazing and so is she. I hope to be inspired by the kindness, imagination, convictions and faith of my pal Andy. Please extend your thoughts and prayers for peace and healing to all. I will pick back up again, but for now, it just doesn't seem right going on about frivolous things while part of my heart is missing.
In memory
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you."
-Winnie the Pooh
This is the Life...
Five days at the beach - sans makeup, a blowdryer and anything more than a swimsuit coverup and PJs. Novels, walks scouring for beach glass, sandwiches on white bread, naps on lounge chairs, sunshine, crashing waves and family.

Why, hello there!
My postings have been a tad infrequent as of late. Not exactly sure why, but I guess part of it is due to the fact that my recent online browsing has been focused on looking for bridesmaids dresses for my bff's wedding. Who knew finding a black dress would be so difficult?! I've also been on staycations the past few weekends and will be out of town the next two. Bring on the summer - visitors, concerts, parties, weddings, beach time and fun! I'll attempt to be consistent amongst the looming busyness.

Staycation
I'm very excited to be going on a mini-vacay this weekend...in town. We'll be celebrating my girl Christy's 30th at the London with a day of lounging in a poolside cabana. Later we'll have what's sure to be a delicious dinner at Fig & Olive (I've looked at the menu like five times - what to order, what to order?) and then toasting the birthday gal out on the town. Sounds like fabulous plan to me!
Perfection
Happy Easter, friends! I had a delightful weekend in Palm Springs with my gals - sunning, drinking, eating, playing games and chatting - what else could you ask for?

Must.Be.Strong
I gave up cheese and chocolate for Lent - crazy I know, especially since I'm not even Catholic. As I suspected, going sans chocolate hasn't been that hard, unless face to face with a delicious-looking treat containing the self-enforced forbidden ingredient. Much more tempting and prevalent daily, is cheese. It's in so many things I like to eat. While it's easy to get dishes without, it's just not the same knowing how much more enjoyable things taste with the addition of cheese. Oh well, 40 days really isn't very long in the scheme of things and I almost decided to nix dairy completely. I shouldn't complain and I'm pretty sure I'll live. Actually, my body is probably thanking me. *Sigh*
TGIF
I am headed to Ohio for an extra long weekend visit with one of my bffs Jackie, her hubby and their sweet three month old who is sure to steal my heart the moment I lay eyes on her. After some difficulty deciding what to bring for what weather.com describes as sunshine, wintry mix, light wintry mix and partial clouds during my stay, I am packed and ready to go. I could probably put money on the fact that I'll be in sweats/pjs 80% of the time, but you just never know (btw, the wintry mix intrigues me).
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will leave you with more images of my Fashion Week faves.

Today is the day, it's finally here! I am off to Paris and Greece with JOAT for what I can only imagine will be an incredible vacation. I've never been to either place and am so excited! I'm fairly certain I packed entirely too much. And shockingly, I am carrying on (as many of you know, this is always difficult for me to accomplish). Here's hoping for safe and effortless travel, delicious food and drinks, warm weather, beautiful sites and fun adventures! *a cute boy two thrown into the mix wouldn't hurt either*
Can't Wait!
As I mentioned earlier, I am leaving for Hawaii in two short weeks! I started packing quite a while ago and think about six days of relaxing in the sun with friends about 20x a day!
Moi
I found this fun little quiz via Michelle, Courtney and Kris....turns out I belong in Paris! I would love to think this is true! Sadly, I have never been to Paris, but I am dying to go.
You Belong in Paris |
 Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth. |
Happy Birthday Jackie!
Hope you had a great day!
*Sorry it's a few days late, I didn't have Internet access while I was gone.
