Gaston!

I could not think of a better way to spend my day off than going to see Beauty and the Beast. 
In 3D, obviamente.

As a little child nugget, I would watch Beauty and the Beast on repeat and sing all of the songs until my momma's ears bled.

The character I am most excited to see in 3D amazingness is the most underrated character of all, Gaston.
I mean, look at that handsome hunk!
Big muscles, great singing voice, and a butt-chin? Me-ow.

And yes, I am dragging my husband to the movie as well.
He is secretly excited. Even little boys loved Disney movies.

I'm ready for my popcorn, licorice, and ICEE tummy ache!

Show Me Your Love

If you read Peppermint Bliss-and why wouldn't you?-you now know that Bailey has up'ed her cool factor because she went to boarding school with Lana Del Rey (I know, major jealous!).

In order to up my own cool factor, I'd like you to fall in love with an amazingly talented singer who I went to high school with.
Hottie boom bottie, right??


Ariana Savalas, daughter of legendary actor Telly Savalas, had me falling in love with her back when we attended our all-girls high school together. 
It was then that she recorded "Show Me Your Love" and unlike Christina Aguilera's classmates, we loved it and made her sing it whenever we had the chance.

There was no walking off the dance floor with this one.
Haters gonna hate.

Well, she just released her first single "Perfect Man" and her music video stars none other than McSteamy. Shirtless. A lot.
 Chick has skills.

My advice for Ariana?
1. I highly recommend re-releasing a little "Show Me Your Love" remix. The world is ready for some more bubble gum pop.
2. Next time, put it in Eric Dane's contract that making out is required.
3. Keep kickin' ass, girl!

Pleasure for your lovely ears. Ready, go!

Woo Hoo for Jason Wu

It seems like my mind has been full of fashion lately,
perhaps because all I seem to be doing is shopping for clothes.
Gracias, trip to Mexico.

As ya'll know I love Target, and designer collaborations with Target even more.
Remember this madness??

Well this time around, Target has teamed up with the fabulous Jason Wu to create a small (my wallet is crying tears of joy) collection that is as cute as can be.

Here are my top 10 favorite outfits...
Pleated front peplum top in gold and pleated skirt in black
Trench coat in black

Long sleeved blouse in blush and lace-printed straight skirt in blush

Long sleeved sheer blouse in white with black ribbon and pleated canvas skirt in belize blue
Pleated sleeveless shift dress in navy dots

Sleeveless top with sheer panel in navy floral and pleated skirt in navy floral

Long sleeved pointelle sweater in red, pleated cap sleeved blouse in red, and pleated skirt in navy floral

Jersey dress in red and navy stripes

Poplin dress in navy


And my absolute favorite...
Flared dress in cream with black patent belt

Aren't they all adorable?
And the best part? Everything is under $60...poor people after the holidays (me!!!) rejoice!

I hope you aren't getting too bored with all of the fashion posts...tomorrow I will be giving you a breath of fresh air, although very similar and little copycatish of Bailey's post today. 

Happy Hump Day!

vacation all I ever wanted

I don't know if I told you guys this, but I am taking a trip to Mexico at the end of February.
Insert happy "yay's" and terrified "I need to lose 8 el bee's" here.
Either way, I am on a wonderful mission to find the perfect beach outfits, bikinis, and cover-ups.

Ever since I saw the movie Something Borrowed (don't worry, I got it on Redbox and therefore only wasted a dollar and an hour and a half of my life on it) I have been obsessed with the white crochet shorts Kate Hudson wears.
Adorbs, right?

Well, the shorts are made by Letarte, a Maui-based label created by two sisters.
They have amazing pieces for all of your beach vay-cay activities.
Here are some of my favorites.
White crochet shorts, obviamente.

Leopard asymmetrical tunic
Perfect for grabbing lunch or shopping after relaxing on the beach.

White and navy triangle suit

Embroidered pom pom poncho
Who doesn't love a good pom pom?

I still have some more shopping to do, but making an online stop at Letarte was a must.
Sending you warm thoughts wherever you are!
Anyone else going on a mid-winter getaway?

I eventually do the things I say I will

Give me a break, I'm still on vacation!
But here is the room I promised...
Everything about this room makes me happy. From the yellow zebra-print chairs, to the bursting crystal 1950s chandie, and of course the nun painting by Tony Scherman. Like whoa.

Don't you just love it?

Now I must return to all of my very important pajama wearing activities.

Rule #43

Never blog on an iPad. I am 2 autocorrects away from screaming in the middle of this teeny tiny airport. So I apologize in advance for how this post may turn out, but I didn't want to leave all you lovelies hanging for so long. Lord knows when I am reunited with my homeland, my blogging is sure to decrease.

But because I have no idea how to work this thing when it comes to Blogger, I only have access to the few pictures I have saved on the iPad. Luckily, this little gem is one of them.

Just kidding, I can't figure it out. And I thought watching all those episodes of The Big Bang Theory were making me smarter. In any event, the room I wanted to share with you is not new, but I'm still so in love with it. It's the living room of Milly's Michelle Smith, ya know, the one with the huge nun painting by Tony Scherman? Maybe I'll post the picture tonight when I get to my mommala's house. Until then, hope you're having a wonderful Christmas Eve eve or fourth night of Hanukkah or what have you.

Talk to you all soon!

Shit Girls Say

My new favorite thing out in YouTube land are the Shit Girls Say videos.
There are only two out so far and I can't wait for the next ones.
In my humble opinion, they (they as in, yeah, just two) keep getting better.
Episode 1

"Hey, are you near a computer?"

"Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen...listen."

Episode 2

"Get these chips away from me!"

"That poor dog needs water."

Just a few of my personal favs from the episodes.
Hysterical, right?
And yes, we all sound like that. Whoopsies!
