MAY EDITION: Town and Country Magazine

Ladies, the May edition of Town and Country Magazine is tres' fab

However, my most favorite part is the interview with

Nadja Swarovski

at her parents home in Windsor Florida

Ok, not only is she beautiful

and an heiress to the Swarovski crystal fortune

her mother must be amazing.

Why you ask. Because of the 21 pictures in the spread

2 full page photos include her mothers desk + 1 little photo.

How do I know this? Well other than they said it was her parents house

this beyond amazing desk is PINK!

Oh yes. The entire desk is wrapped in pink embossed leather.

TO DIE FOR

If my mom had a giant pink leather desk I would think she was cool too.

Ps. did I mention she has 3 beautiful children and her hubs is british?

Are these preppy or what?

I finally started reading Town & Country magazine

and I saw the most marvelous preppy item EVER!

18kt gold pink sapphire and peridot drop earrings

OMG

Paolo Costagli Florentine Collection

I couldn't, um, borrow the image from the website

but seeing is believing

Posts

I've been thinking I will try to post more regularly.

It seems my bloggy peeps try to blog every day

but I really go in spurts

so I think I'll TRY to post 3 times a week.

What do you think?

Simply Vera: KOHLS

I need to stop reading INSTYLE

Once again my hopes are dashed by the retail gods

I saw this in INSTYLE magazine and thought it was tres' chic

so I flew over to KOHLS to pick it up

Did they have it?

NO

Silly me thinking an advertised product would actually be at the store, huh

So I went to the online store, uh, none their either

What is going on?

This shirt is $40

and it's a T-shirt

aren't we in a recession?

Suck-o-la

The UPS Man

Last week the UPS man came rang the bell

and went back to his truck

I made it in time for the bendy Butt shot

as he was getting into the truck

When he sat down he turned

and saw me drooling waving

He smiled and drove off into the sunset

Today he droped off the package

NO DOORBELL RING

RACED BACK TO THE TRUCK

AND SQUEELED OUT OF THE CUL D SAC

Geesh

He acts like he never saw a woman

waving before

humf

H & M

Living in Florida has its drawbacks

one of them being there are only 2 H and M's

in the entire state

I became especially upset by this while perusing

this months INSTYLE magazine

I thought this was beyond adorable and totally suited to Florida living

Unfortunately the closest H and M is in Orlando

90 minutes away

ARRRGH

H and M gods

if you are listening

Please open an online store

STAT

Thanks

WHAT IS GOING ON!

The hubs has been getting up for work

FUSHIA

holy cow, must have now

I think I'm in Love

Lisagh of Grosgrain Garage mentioned this book on her blog

Pretty in Plaid

Jen Lancaster

I thought the cover looked adorable so I picked it up at the library

I LOVED IT!

I think I should be her best friend  ;)

So I spent the day scouring the internet for all of her books

and then I pre-ordered her new book on amazon

This book was so funny I would burst out laughing and startled the hubs

although he sorta deserved it for veto-ing the pink chair purchase.

If your looking for a good laugh pick up any one of the books by

Jen Lancaster

Bitter is the New Black

Bright Lights Big Ass

Pretty in Plaid

Such a Pretty Fat

My Fair Lazy

and visit her blog it's Hilarious!

Nutty, Maybe.....

Getting snail mail is one of my most favorite things.

My mail carrier usually arrives at noon and it is now almost 3pm.

I realized how manic I have become when

1. I started tapping my foot incessantly

2. I checked 3 websites to be sure today isn't some weird holiday

3. I started looking out the window every 5 minutes.

Obsess much? Me? Pfft

GUILT GROUP, yep

I have been a huge fan of Titan Luggage since my trip to Las Vegas 4 years ago. Many of my friends have said "HOW COULD YOU SPEND $500 on 1 SUITCASE!"

My reply had always been "It was cute"

However, i also carry a Hays and after spending 2 hours trying to get through the airport with a broken wheel i will only buy Titan. They have a beautiful glossy finish, come in green and pink (YES!) The wheels have NEVER given me any trouble. They are hardsided so easy to keep clean especially when somone at the neighboring slot machine spills their drink on it and very easy to find if I check my luggage and the best part is they have a lifetime warrenty.

Gilt Groupe has the cosmetic case for $95 but it's not the X2 edition so I passed.

Unfortunately I have not been able to turn the hubs to the darkside. But today on Gilt Groupe they are on sale. The $540 computer bag is a mere $135 and it is a manly slate color. So I will not feel guilty about this purchase and I will hide it in my closet till his birthday. :)

I realize there is a chance that he may never use it but it is so super cool, I can't resist. Plus, I could always carry my laptop in it...right?

Have a great day!

Homegoods: The Chair

So I really liked this chair but I couldn't get it into the car with the cabinet

What do you think?

The Homegoods is about 40 minutes away

Lucky Me (says the hubs)

Homegoods Gods

Since Tickled P&G started doing her Homegoods updates and I had never ventured inside I figured I would go in and see what the rucus was about.... Good Lord....I may have to go back to work now to oay off my VISA bill. hahaaha

I fell in love at firstsight

There was a chair too but it wouldn't fit in my car and I'm not sure how I thought this would get into the house but I had to have it. I ended up asking the neighbor guy to help me in exchange for beer. :) 

That was one of the best lessons learned in College.

Anyhow, the hubs had a carpeted dolly and the neighbor got it in and positioned in about 5 minutes.

Young people  :)

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately the hubs hasn't noticed it yet.

Wait till I have it all decked out.

Sweet!

Have a great day!
