Song Of The Week: Car Song (Feat. Santigold)

"car song" by spank rock is another great summer jam.  while i have never heard of spank rock before but am very familiar with santigold (i adore her voice so much) so i had a feeling i would like it.  feeling confirmed.

enjoy!

Happy Weekend!

yahoo for friday!  this week has been a busy one at work and i am looking forward to the weekend more than usual. 

 

tonight i'm heading out to celebrate sweet kimi's b*day, tomorrow morning i've got circuit works brentwood with my fresh from paris gal pal christy, a much overdue haircut (still no idea what i am doing to it) and a night out to fully maximize the great blowout i receive.

wishing y'all a fantabulous weekend full of sunshine and smiles!

Lusting Lately ~ Spring 2013

 

this zara leather jacket w/ ruffle detail is incredible.  it's the perfect color for spring, with just the right feminine touches - peplum, ruffles and zippers oh my!

 

i heart this rebecca minkoff m.a.c. shoulder bag.  i love the camel contrast with the navy print.  it screams spring fun. 

 

my gf cari was wearing these celine sunnies last week and i made the mistake of trying them on, and falling massively in love.

i love pretty much anything dvf puts out, and these opal wedges are to die for.  rose gold strap, cream crisscross and wood wedge, i heart them so much!

 

i heart one of these items so much, i did a bad, bad thing and purchased it.  not for the price listed, but still, quite a luxurious purchase for this girl. 

 

any guess what that item was?  be sure to check out my instagram (@lyndsylee) later next week to see!

 

what luxury items are you craving this spring?

Song of the Week: Sweater Weather

i cannot stop groovin' to the neighbourhood's "sweater weather".  it gets me in the mood for summer (i realize spring has just sprung) and makes me want to cruise down the pch with my sunroof open and watching the waves crash by.  

Happy Weekend!

wowza!  it's already april?  how in the world did that happen?

 

i am officially all moved into the new abode and couldn't be more excited.  the only issue is our new couch and love seat will not be ready for another 6-8 weeks so the place is looking a little empty (sans the boxes we still have to unpack) but i have to admit it is feeling a little more like home every day. 

 

this weekend i need to find homes for all the shits and giggles, get some shelves up, find some artwork for the walls and enjoy my gf iona who is visiting from amsterdam. 

 

wishing you all a lovely first weekend of april!

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Steal vs. Splurge

 

if you like these archer sandals by dolce vita for $68.95, you will LOVE these even more...

 

forever 21 is currently selling these almost identical metal-trimmed thong sandals  (except in price) for $16.80!  for the price of one dv sandal you can get three!  i may not be a genius when it comes to math, but i know a good deal when i see one, and this my friends is a great deal!

 

 

 

Gap Goodies ~ Spring 2013

 

my gf samela and i popped into the gap at lunch yesterday and let me just say thank gosh i accidentally left my wallet on my desk or i could have done some major damage there. 

 

spring has officially sprung at the gap and the store is filled with brights, florals and all things sunny. 

 

my current lust list includes this shrunken boyfriend gingham shirt (with some white jeans), this animal print scarf (which is light and soft and perfect for spring), these rose blush leather flip flops (in every color - seriously they are the best flip flops EVER) and this roll-sleeve pocket shirtdress (in active yellow). 

 

i only ended up bringing this  harbor jersey striped dress home with me (a steal of a deal at $30 including tax) but am hoping to stop in tomorrow (with my wallet this time) and pick up a few of the items above.

Full Heart

{via}

 

my heart is full of happiness, joy and relief. 

 

i found out this past weekend that my girlfriend karah is officially cancer free! 

 

it is the kind of news that makes you smile and cry at the same time.  it's the kind of news that reminds you of whats really important and to stop stressing over the little things (like the massive amounts of boxes i still have left to unpack) and really get out and enjoy everyday as well as every one in your life. 

 

full heart.

Gone Girl...

 

i borrowed "gone girl" from my coworker and was so excited to finally get to read the book that everyone was talking about!

 

except, every time some one saw me reading it, i head this comment "good book, terrible ending".  which left me feeling confused as to whether i should even bother reading it. 

 

the answer is yes. 

 

yes the ending was less than pleasing.  but the first 2/3rds of the book is compelling, well-written and suspenseful.  i enjoyed it immensely and didn't want to put the book down.  considering my book reading has been at an all time low, i welcomed the excitement i felt when reading this book. 

 

i cannot really review this book without giving anything away, but what i will tell you is that it is refreshing.  not refreshing like a jump in the pool, but refreshing as in i have never read anything similar or dare i say as honest as gone girl. 

 

i wish the ending had been different.  that said, i am happy i read it and am looking forward to reading another one of her books.  i am excited for the book to be made into a movie.  i am dying to see who they cast to play amy and nick.  most of all i am intrigued to see if they keep the much hated ending as is, or hollywood it up. 

 

did you read gone girl?  what did you think?  and what on earth should i read next?!

 

(ps - while i was reading gone girl, i happened upon this page in the book from b.  such a sweet surprise!  only problem is the book wasn't mine.  guess it is now!)
