Peanuts and Cracker Jack's...

Off to the Padres game! I am going to the game with Dylan and his Dad - we have a friendly rivalry going - as they are Giants fans and I am the sole Pads fan! I love baseball games... cant really sit through a whole game on TV but throw me a hot dog and some peanuts and I am good to go in the stands :-)

Play ball!

Boise Lovin'...

Sorry about not writing yesterday - after a whirlwind of a weekend I needed a day to decompress :-) I had a wonderful weekend in the land of potatoes! To be honest I wasn't expecting much from Boise - but boy was I wrong! Can I just say that I fell in love with the quaint, little town... seriously! I have never encountered such friendly people in my life! And the downtown area were some of the cleanest streets that I have ever walked on. The wedding was beautiful and the bride and groom couldn't be more perfect for each other... two of the most genuine, lovely people I have ever met - everything from the ceremony at a gorgeous church and the reception at the stadium - yep you heard me correctly... the reception was in the sky box with floor to ceiling windows overlooking downtown Boise, beautiful mountains and the coolest part - the blue football field which was obviously very fitting since the groom played football and the bride played soccer at Boise State! Seriously - it couldn't have been more perfect!

All and all it was a fabulous weekend spent with good peeps, fabulous setting and of course lots and lots of vino :-)

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Leaving tomorrow morning for Boise, Id... for a wedding! I am pretty excited! I have never been to Boise - so excited to check out a new city... I am sure there will be a lot more to offer than just potatoes :-)

I wont be posting for the remainder of the week... so have a fabulous rest of the work week and weekend! See ya Monday!

Eyelet Lovin'...

Tried this lovely on - seriously so flippin cute!
Loving the blue and white...

I love this crisp white number!

Perfect flowy top for the summer months...

Love the contrast sash to accentuate the waist...

Today my Mom and I made a trip to the mall to look for a last minute dress for me to wear to the wedding this weekend... of course our first stop - Anthropologie - was the only stop needed... which is sort of funny considering we have one less than five minutes from my house!

Anyways... while browsing the racks I kept coming across eyelet perfection! I remember wearing a lot of eyelet dresses when I was younger... I was smitten then and still smitten now. Unfortunately I had to force myself to stay on track of the current mission (wedding attire) so I didn't try too many of the eyelet pieces on (mostly white - and call me traditional but I would never show up to a wedding in white or ivory!)... seriously there are too many lovelies to show... but I have included a few of my favs!

Summer may not be in the air yet... but these beauties make it feel pretty darn close :-)

Holy Miss USA!

Miss California

Miss Minnesota

Miss South Dakota

Miss Tennessee Miss Wyoming

Wow! Have you seen the official photographs for the fifty-one contestants for the Miss USA pageant to be held this weekend?? I first saw them on The Today Show this morning and was shocked! I couldn't believe how provocative and racy they are! I am a little shocked that these are the pics representing each contestant. A little too racy for my liking... what do you think?? If they released these for a controversy marketing ploy - I am pretty sure they got their monies worth!

Isn't this the same pageant that has dethroned contestants and winners in the past for pics similar to these surfacing after pageants?? Interesting!

Busy Bee!

I have been a bad blogger buddy lately - missing both Friday and Monday posts! Ahhh! Sorry! I had an extremely busy weekend... Friday I drove up to San Clemente for Dylan's work event. I drove home Saturday morning and began preparing for the birthday party we were throwing for one of my good friends... which ended up going into the wee hours of the night - two late nights in a row - I am too old for this! Sunday was Mother's Day - so I headed over to my parent's house for a celebratory dinner for my Momma :-) I am now finally caught up on my sleep... just in time to be lacking in that department again... as I have a family friend's wedding in Boise, Idaho! I leave early Thursday morning through Sunday...

I promise to catch up on my posts before I leave!

Effortlessly Fab...

So I am pretty sure that I have made it public knowledge that I am a sucker for trashy reality TV - not the usual DWTS or American Idol - I am talking really trashy... like The Real Housewives (where ever the city may be), The Hills and The City. I know... totally losing braincells, should definitely be picking up a book instead but I just cant get enough. I watched the latest episode of The City last night - for those of you that have been living under a rock - this is a reality-based (key word based) show on MTV... a spin-off from The Hills... following the lives of four girls working in the NYC fashion industry - of course all with the most glamorous of apartments, jobs and my favorite - wardrobes! Seriously this is one of the reasons why I am still a fan - yes the arguments may all be the same but I LOVE to see what each person is wearing. This leads me into my favorite love to hate character, Olivia Palermo. It hurts watching sometimes because she comes off as such a snob - but seriously can I have her closet... or even just a quarter of it?? She is always dressed uber fabulous... like she put no thought or effort into it at all - and don't even get me started on her ever so perfect hair... I just cant get enough of her... absurd attitude and all!

Fiesta, Fiesta!

Happy Cinco de Mayo Amigos and Amigas! We all know the background of this festive holiday; however, many of us use it as an excuse to flash insanely bright colors, throw back the unneeded tequila shot, eat greasy, but delicious Mexican food and of course dance around in an over-sized sombrero :-) Gosh I love holidays... big or small!

One of my favorite brands, Theme, always have a number of fiesta inspired clothing - didn't disappoint. Theme is a line based in Los Angeles - launched their first line in 2007 - love them! Lucky for me it is carried in one of my favorite, local boutiques! Me and the main squeeze are planning on going out to get some festive cocktails and of course yummy tacos - I will be sporting one of their dresses that I bought last year... but here are a couple of my other favorites from their spring line!

Add a Little Spakle to Your Life...

I have been drooling over sequins this season... seriously can't get enough of the sparkly goodness - I should have been a dancer...

New Designer Alert - Whit...

My weekend was fantastic - spent with lots of time with friends... ans also the boy :-) One of my very best friends is in town for the next week - and over the weekend we celebrated her engagement to super, fabulous guy! The engagement party was lovely - the hosts thought of every detail. It was on the sand in Laguna - and we had great weather - seriously what is better than friends, sunset and of course cocktails!

So the niece of the ever so talented, Kate Spade, is creating a name for herself in the fashion world. The Brooklyn based designer is debuting her new line, Whit - and from what I have seen I am already a fan! She has released her fall 2010 look book - and it is seriously fab! The Refinery couldn't have said it better - her style is for 'the hipster that is all grown up'...
