Twilight: The Movie

I received Twilight from Netflix last Wednesday and waited ever so patiently for my friend Avery to finish the book so we could watch together. On Sunday we gathered together with some popcorn and eagerness for a boy named Edward.

Sadly, I was not a fan of the movie at all. I didn't hate it, but I was most definitely not feeling the enthusiasm for Twilight the movie as I had for the book. The connection between Bella and Edward was nothing special, those sensual moments between the two of them were non-existent and the cinematography of the film annoyed me more than anything. Yes Edward was hot, but his accent was bizarre, and I found myself more attracted to James than Edward which is not true when reading the book.

I am hopeful that since New Moon has a new director, I will enjoy it better than Twilight. Thoughts?

Song Of The Week: When The Sun Goes Down


Whenever I hear When The Sun Goes Down, it evokes summertime, tropical vibes. (Just the mood I am going for with Mexico just a few days away) I dedicate this song to beautiful bride-to-be Jaime (big day on Friday!), as we used to jam tough to this song when we were roomies. Love you girl! Can't wait for Friday!

Happy March Madness Weekend!


My plans this weekend include happy hour, visiting the passport agency (ugh), spa day with the girls and fitting some basketball games in there somewhere....

Here's hoping your brackets are going well and you have a ball this weekend!

Forever Frugal Friday

In my attempt to pack efficiently for my trip to Mexico next week (must carry on as connecting flight is too close for comfort), I sorted through my swimsuits and noticed that I do not own a simple, black bikini. Well lucky for me, Forever is carrying swimsuits now, and this Ruffle Trim Bikini is exactly what I am looking for, at exactly the right price.

Now I just need to find the amazing flat abs to go with it...any ideas ;)

Reese's Pieces

Can I just say that I have a major girl crush on Reese Witherspoon? I just think she is just the cutest thing ever! In a town where everyone seems a bit jaded and stuck on themselves, Miss Reese is a breath of fresh air. Down to earth, stylish, a good mother and toting a hot Jake with her around town, this gal has got it down. And just when I think she can’t get any cuter…she goes and looks like this!!

I gasped out loud last night when I saw video of sweet Reese looking incredible in a short, silver Rodarte dress and the most marvelous Balenciaga grey and yellow heels.

She's a mother of two, just turned 33 and looking the best I have ever seen her. I think I may have just found my new gym inspiration. Please look at those gams!

And if the dress, heels and legs weren’t enough….her hair is flawless! I must begin my gummy bear diet again, because her hair is exactly what I want!

I just love that Reese’s to pieces!

Song Of The Week: I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)


Daryl Hall - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) (Official Music Video) - Click here for the most popular videos

I have a weird obsession with mustaches...I think they are pretty damn sweet, which makes loving Hall & Oates sooo easy.

I have always enjoyed their catchy tunes and recently added I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) to a playlist and whenever it comes on in my car, I just groove along. Well, within the last month I have heard this song everywhere - it's the weirdest thing. The first time I heard it not on my IPod or in my car was at a bar, and then just last week I heard it play twice on different TV stations during the morning news. I am glad that Hall & Oates are getting the playtime they deserve as this song continues to rock.

So if you like mustaches, smokey music videos, keyboards and mullets...you will definitely enjoy this song!
