Forever Frugal Friday

I can hardly believe it is already Friday! I apologize for the lack of posts lately. To sum up the week, it has been very stressful. But things are on the up and up, so it pleases me to share this weeks frugal find.

I think there is nothing classier than a white button shirt with jeans. I mean talk about timeless and a look that will never go out of style. I adore this feminine Peplum Woven Shirt, and the navy blue sash that comes with it. I like this combo a lot, because it is super sweet and easily dresses up your jeans more than you standard Gap Oxford Button Down Shirt. Seeing as it is from Forever 21, I would worry about the sheerness of the shirt, but a simple fitted cami beneath is sure to do fix the sheerness.

In any case, whether you live on the east coast, or west coast this top is sure to have you covered for any occasion.

Lovely Yellow Ladies

These yellow Enzo Angiolini Gemma Pumps are just too perfect a shade of yellow. I generally prefer a thinner heel on my pump, but with a heel height of almost 4", these shoes are definitely a must have for my spring/summer wardrobe. Just imagine, a cute white sundress, tan legs (faux glow of course!) and these sassy shoes. Too perfect!

Forever Frugal Friday

Seeing as I didn't get much sleep last night due to one sick puppy (poor little Waldo!), all I want to do this wet, cold, weekend in LA is cuddle on the couch watching movies and the Oscars. This Chatterbox PJ Set looks super comfy, and is totally cute enough to run out the door pending any last minute items you are missing at home.

Reem Acra

WOWZA! I knew I loved Reem's wedding dresses, so I shouldn't be surprised that her Fall 2008 Collection is stunning! Here dresses are so flowy, dreamy and leave me feeling breathless. Below are some of my favorite pieces. (Images from Imaxtree.com)

This dress is B-E-A-utiful! I can totally see Angelina Jolie arriving on the red carpet wearing this gown and knocking Brad's socks off. I imagine myself wearing this while cascadind down a grand stairway...

The fabrics that Reem chose to use in these beautiful rich shades or purple and navy make my heart flutter.





Dare I say that we see a developing trend of the asymmetrical dress coming back in style? This dress reminds me of something Katie Holmes wore not too long ago. Classic.

I love everything about this ensemble. The ruffles, the belt, and the black skirt equal perfection.





Although it is a terrible color on me, I can appreciate the fantasticness that is chartreuse. The combination of the cream and chartreuse allows this to be a conservative yet saucy outfit.

If you prefer to stand out in a crowd, then just add some feathers and you my friend are sure to stick out.

Could this dress BE anymore lovely or dramatic. You would definitely need to have some guts to pull off this sheer dress without anything beneath but what an entrance you would make in this stunner!

This silky, slinky, silver/grey halter dress exudes sexiness. I mean it looks like liquid silver and is oh so gorgeous.

Whew....I only reviewed a few fashion collections and I am exhausted! I really wish that someday I will be lucky enough to get to actually attend a show, until then Project Runway and the internet will do. That's all folks!

Wino Wednesday

Oh boy, oh boy! Sorry for the lack of blogging but I am still catching up from Va-Va-Vegas. I thought I would share with ya'll one of my favorite chardonnay's out there. The Kendall Jackson Vitners' Reserve Chardonnay will never lead you down the wrong path. A favorite amongst most of my girlfriends and according to Bob the wine Seward, the best selling chardonnay out there. It is fruity, butter, light and with just the slightest bit of crisp. Near perfection if you ask me!

My girlfriend Christa served this wine at her wedding and let me just say that it goes down, oh so easily. They were lucky enough to take a few cases home with them left over from the wedding. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Bob explained to me that Kendall Jackson a couple years back offered this Chardonnay at an unbelievably low price one Thanksgiving (like $6.99 a bottle). Well people bought it, served it, loved it and now make it a tradition to serve this wine at ALL festivities even at its modern new price of about $13.99 a bottle. Smart marketing? I think so.

Viva Las Vegas!

I am off to Vegas this weekend! Yahoo! I am sure I will have plenty of PG stories to share next week. Have a fantastic 3 Day weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Even though Elon and I don't celebrate this day really, I do LOVE all the decorations. I just never can get enough pink in my life!

Forever Frugal Friday: Early Edition

As I will be in Vegas tomorrow, I will post my find of the week early.

This Chemise Dress is just too perfect for Valentine's Day. Even if you don't have a valentine, this dress is definitely bound to catch the eye of someone! The sheerness of this dress is pure sexiness but also sweet and innocent, which is what I adore most. Plus, every girl really does need a piece of red in their closet!

Wino Wednesday

I bought this 2005 Stonehedge Reserve Petite Syrah at my local Trader Joe's for about $9. I had Cassie open the bottle and air out for a bit before pouring and tasting. Being a HUGE fan of the Stag's Leap Petite Syrah I am always on the lookout for a great tasting Petite Syrah at a fraction of the cost. This wine was tasty, although it reminded me more of a Cabernet Sauvignon than a Petite Syrah (not necessarily a bad thing). It was pretty smooth going down but not as jammy or bold as one would expect from a Petite Syrah.

That being said, I would recommend this wine and might buy it again but not if I was in the mood for a bold, strong, Petite Syrah. Worth checking out although I wouldn't expect too much!

Tracy Reese

Oh Tracy, you've done it again. Created fabulous frocks that flatter most bodies, fantastic colors, luxurious fabrics and silhouettes that make me quiver with excitement.Can one register for Fall 2008 fashions? Hmm, I think I need to look into that... (Images from Imaxtree.com)






For the modest fashionista who wants to show a little bit of skin but still leave something to the imagination, there are these two beauties to choose from.

The bronze is bold and fierce while the blue is subtle and romantic.

For the girl who likes her fashion a bit more expressive, try pairing a jewel tone and a pattern. The emerald green ruffled blouse paired with the leopard skirt is one of my favorite looks so far.









Equally gorgeous is the patterned jewel strapless dress that will definitely have heads turning.

If you prefer more subtle colors but still want a sassy look for the evening, Tracy has got you covered. The black dress is timeless and classic, as a black dress should be.






The flowered sheath would look stunning to any night time affair you might have, and lets be honest here...the hat is so great!
