Free Cone Day

Get to the closest participating Ben & Jerry's and get what's yours. A free scoop of delicious ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet. I had a scoop of the Imagine World Peace and it was incredible. It really does make the day that much better!

Scoops!

Thanks for Thanks

I am a very lucky girl to have such crafty friends. I received a set of the gorgeously, perfect thank you cards above from my dear friend Jamie at my bridal shower.

This gift warmed my heart as, A) I definitely needed some Thank You cards and B) she personalized them with lemons to match my wedding theme.

Now you too can give a cute, thank you card to your dearest friends because Jamie sells her handmade cards via her Etsy page Tangergreetings . There are many cute, original cards that are sure to satisfy any occasion, and I guarantee you that these cards will definitely make the fridge of whoever is receiving them.

Thanks again Jamie for the cards! I heart them!

Dreamy Dress

I covet this Foley + Corrina Hollywood Dress in cobalt (also available in black, coral and indigo). The perfect amount of sexy, flirty and tasteful all at the same time. I would love for this dress to be my summer wedding guest dress but at $323 on sale is unfortunately just a dream of a dress.

Song of the Week: I'm So Excited

">

So I may not be quite as excited as Jessie Spano (as I handle my caffeine addiction much better), but Elon's ticket has been booked and he arrives into LAX tomorrow at 1:40 PM! I have many things to be excited for this week which is why The Pointer Sisters, I'm So Excited will be continuously repeating on my Itunes and in my head. Let's get excited!

Friday Night Music

I am off to Hotel Cafe in Hollywood with the girls to hear some fantastic music by Freeman. If you are looking for something fun to do tonight in LA, I highly recommend stopping by at 9 PM. You will not be sorry!

Have a sunny weekend everyone!

Forever Frugal Friday

So I think I found them! Remember a few posts back I was looking for a cheaper version of the JCrew Flip Flops? Well, I bought the Gap ones and they are SO not the same (nor very comfortable), but these F21 Leather Flip Flops might be exactly the right shoe and the right price. I am rushing over to my closest Forever 21 tomorrow and stocking up for this summer, next summer, the summer after that...you get the picture!

Bravo Starbucks!

This nifty little stick may not look like much...

But when added to your latte cup, it might equal one of the greatest inventions ever (okay I am totally exaggerating, but it is pretty great!)

Imagine you're on your way to work, latte in hand and pulling out of the parking lot of your favorite coffee shop and that's when it happens...you know, coffee spewing through that little opening on the lid. All over your car, the lid of your cup and quite possibly down the front of your blouse. Originally, most coffee shops would cover that hole with a sticker, which is great until you get adhesive all over your lips and want to cover the hole back up. Well my friends, this could all be a thing of the past, as Starbucks in beta testing these neat little sticks.

You know you have a coffee addiction (and are a huge nerd) when you and your friend see this stick at a Starbucks in Seattle while visiting and squeal with glee at this new creation (true story, we jumped up and down). I keep my little stick in my purse and wash it after each use, and my car is a happier place to be now because of it.

My only question now...why didn't I think of this?

Perfectly Nude

No, this isn't one of those postings...rather an innocent (if you call $575 heels innocent) posting on the most gorgeously, perfectly nude heels I have ever laid my eyes on (besides these).

I am so dumb sometimes, when I saw these Luciano Padovan Sparkle Patent Pumps at CUSP, I should have turned around and walked the other direction. Instead, I chose to just check the size on the floor shoe, and it just so happened to be my size and all of a sudden it was on my foot, and I was in love. I love the silver trim which sets it apart from all those other nudies, and I can't imagine a more perfect shoe for those summer days ahead. I also cannot imagine a way to talk Elon into allowing me to buy these shoes....

*Sigh*

Super Model in a Bottle

I don't recall where I first heard the label "Super Model in a Bottle" when describing Benefit's High Beam luminizer, but I gotta say it is a product I cannot live without.

True that when I use this product, the reflection in the mirror is not Cindy Crawford staring back at me, (yes I chose Cindy Crawford because growing up she was THE definition of Super Model) but I must say this product does give me that certain glow you only find in the magazines (or via photoshop).

I used up my first bottle of High Beam (I purchased it in 2003!) earlier this year and decided that I would peruse some new products to compare. Well my friends, nothing compares and I quickly picked up a new bottle and vowed never to leave its side again.

I use High Beam just on my cheek bones to give them a little extra definition, but other popular areas are on your brow bones and the bridge of your nose. Basically anywhere that you want to deflect light and make dewy. A little goes a long way, and I promise you will notice a difference immediately in pictures.

So let your inner Cindy, Linda, or Naomi out and work it like the true model you are!

Wino Wednesday

I have been finding that I am quite a fan on Pinot Noirs and gravitate towards that section when looking for a tasty red. I like Pinot Noirs because they are lighter than most reds, and yet still plump and juicy and full of flavor. The Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir isn't awful, but not really that good either.

It was fruity (strawberries and cherries) and tart like a Pinot should be and while I didn't spit it out, I wasn't inclined to continue drinking. This bottle will only run you around $7, which is a pretty good deal. But, I wouldn't suggest buying this bottle to share at dinner or with friends who have a more mature and refined palate. Chances are that the bottle will sit opened and undrunk, and then who looks the fool?
