Bad Dream

May 19, 2012

I in no way mean to trivialize the search of missing persons.  But I saw something similar to this on Pinterest yesterday and then I had a really bad dream last night where I was abducted.  Ugh, I don’ t even want to rehash what happened and none of this has to do with Food, Fashion, Foreign Travel or Fabulous Philanthropy…or being a Francophile, but I wanted to share.

Empty Yourself

I literally screamed, “OH MY GOD, SHE’S GORGEOUS” when the picture below popped up in my Facebook timeline. Now I’m at work, so my mini outburst caused quite the stir. People yanked around to ask if I was okay.  Another coworker came straight to my desk. They thought something was wrong. Boy were they completely overjoyed to take in the loveliness that is Miss Alaia Rose.

GET INTO THIS LITTLE GIRL!!!

She has the cutest little face ever! Can you say ADORBS?!?!?!

This little girl is giving me so much LIFE!!! Coworker totally thought she was mine. LOL

I’m sorry for coveting the daughter of Monica Rose, Stylist to the Kardashian sisters. If you follow her work, you know little Alaia totally ‘gets it from her mama‘!

Monica, if you’re reading this…and ever in NYC, I will totally babysit for you. For FREE!

I think I just found my calling.  I’m supposed to be a ‘Baby Stylist’!!! Who wants to be my 1st client?

Penelope Tree

April 25, 2012

Came home from a super long day at work and was delighted to find a new issue of MORE in the mail.  Yes, I read MORE and no, I’m not 45! LOL. I started reading the mag a few years ago while waiting in my chiropractors office and actually liked it, so I subscribed. **Random Fact – I like to read magazines from back to front**

Before today, I had no idea who Penelope Tree was but this quote coupled with all the gorgeous google images has definitely made me a fan.

This absolutely resonates with me! I can’t escape my love for Fashion. Some clothes are so beautiful…at times I can hardly breathe.

Her eyes are simply amazing! I totally get why she was the “It Girl” of the 1960′s.

And if that wasn’t enough, I came across a rare interview with Penelope where she talks about about her charity work, the misery behind her privileged upbringing – and how the Dalai Lama saved her life. She has literally brightened my day. Read the full interview and get a divine dose of Miss Penelope Tree right now!

{LoveStamp} Blessings

April 23, 2012

Hello Lovelies and Happy Monday!! Today has been absolutely divine. It’s only 1:30p and it’s been nothing but great news and blessings all around. The most important is that my contract at work has been extended through September! Woo hoo! **cartwheels and sashays all over this post** The rain outside can’t stop my SPARKLE today! I’m so thankful!

I fell in love with a lot of stuff this week. So much that I’ve had to edit and edit again…and I don’t want to do it anymore. So here’s this week Love Stamp. Hope you enjoy!

Diana Ross, Sequins and Birkin. This photo is giving me LIFE!

Football Chic

April 17, 2012

So, I’ve been a NY Giants fan all of my life since I met Honey. You know how it is…you meet a guy, he loves football, you fall for the guy and slowly you start to love the sport too. It’s amazing how excited I get now watching little men (Victor Cruz) run up and down the field scoring touchdowns and things.  It wasn’t always like this. Remember I Bleed Blue!

Now rewind to this past January while I’m preparing to attend a Super Bowl Party and I realize I have nothing to wear. I’m supposed to rock the team colors and I have to look cute.  So off I go to Honey’s t-shirt drawer to make magic happen. Yes, make magic happen. I have special powers. I’m a unicorn.

I’m a Unicorn

April 15, 2012

It was the day we laughed so hard
we made the orchids bloom

I was 10
it was sunny

we were running like cats
a game of hide and seek
happiness all balled up in our eyes
shooting out of us in shrieks and bellows

I’m a unicorn
she declared

and I decided I was too

an adored unicorn
with nothing to do
but chase the wind

they say it whips you in the face
but this isn’t how it works
if you run hard enough
the wind bores right into you

I don’t remember anything else
except the smell of the sunshine
sweet as strawberry shortcake

the wind carried the rest away.

*******

I absolutely LOVE this poem! So much so, I wish I wrote it myself.  But, I didn’t.

Coachella in the Rain!

April 13, 2012

As a proud HATER of rain, I’ve sang the “Rain, rain go awayCome again another day” song lots of times. Rain is just inconvenient and won’t let my life be great. I mean, a chica has things to do. Right?

That being said, when it does rain, I’m not one to let it cramp my style! You don’t get a pass for looking crazy in the rain. I’m actually working on a post “Rainy Day Chic” because some of you…ah nevermind.

But about THIS post, LOL!  I’m on my way to Coachella this weekend (in my mind) and I hear it’s going to rain. Yipee! I don’t know why, but for some reason the idea of rain at a music festival makes me happy. I just want to twirl to the music, flirt with the guy standing behind me, have a really good time and look fab doing it!
