Misc: Oh the joy of shoes!

Happy New Year lovelies! I hope you all had a great New Year celebration as we have.

Finally, all the madness of shopping and rushing to find the perfect gifts, wrapping, cooking and tons of eating is over! I loved all the gifts I got for Christmas - everything with meaning and purpose =). However, there are small stuff that just spelled M-E!

So, I would like to share this present from our little munchkins that made... my heart beat fast... my eyes open wide in delight... my hands shake with excitement when I opened it!

Okay, maybe I am being too melodramatic but I really love my present!

Each day for 365 days I get a different designer shoe! From Chanel to Choo to Louboutin to Manolo - you name it!

***Available here

Uh, yes, it's a gallery calendar of shoes. Gorgeous, gorgeous shoes!

BTW, this gorgeous also has a handbag version for all you lovely handbag lovers =).

This will hopefully satisfy my shoe craving for this year since I have vowed to save and refrain from shoe shopping as my new year's resolution. The operative word being - REFRAIN. Hey, I live in the real world - I know my limits lol

Oh, and what a way to start the New Year than to receive these gorgeous roses from GG! Okay, all together now - "Awwwwwww"... lol

I know!!! He's sooo sweet!!!!

So, I am back in full force blogging mode!!!! The winter weather is not really my fave but I will do my best to do a few look book posts. I already have a couple of giveaways lined up for all of you so be sure to check back soon! I am headed your bloggy way now too!

I missed you all my lovelies!!!

Look: Biker Chic(k).... and Perricone Give away winner

GG and his dad have Harleys. They ride every once in a while specially when the weather is nice. Dad brought his bike over for thanksgiving and so we decided to go on a ride. Yes, my lovelies, I agreed to ride on a Harley. Scared as hell, I stalled and thought of every possible excuse I could come up with so as not to get on the bike with GG. From fixing my hair, to eating, to picking on my food, to you name it! Alas, I run out of reason and off we went...

I don't have riding clothes so I had to come up with the best outfit I could find to look like a biker chick. ;-)

What I was wearing:
Leather jacket: Ann Taylor
Cashmere sweater: Ann Taylor
Jeans: Citizen of Humanity
kitten heels boots: Tommy Hilfigher
sunnies: BCBG Max Azria
leather gloves: unknown

After a few nerve wracking turns, I got the hang of it and enjoyed the cool breeze, the scenic views, and the different scents we miss out on when we are in the car driving. So, here's the deal - I liked it! Looking forward to our next ride =)

Look: Not so vintage and Angels and Demons

What I am wearing:
jacket: Anthropologie
jeans: Citizen of Humanity
lace tank: Banana Republic
shoes: Banana Republic (seen here - on sale now)
bag: BCBG
accessories: diamond stud earrings, wrap around glass bead bracelet (gift)

Ever had that feeling where you have that closet full of clothes with nothing to wear? That's how I felt yesterday morning. One thing I know for sure, it's Friday so I can wear jeans. There I was standing in the middle of my walk-in and just staring at everything I have for a good 5 minutes. Then I saw my dry cleaned winter jackets still in the bags on the corner, decided to move them where they are supposed to go. Glad I did cause there it was, this jacket that I forgot I had. I found this top at Anthropologie and fell in love with it. It has that vintage feel with the modern cut. The colors are fresh and the three fourths sleeves are perfect for spring. Ever bought stuff you forget you have?

Angels and Demons

Anyway, we saw Angels and Demons last night. A movie based on the novel by Dan Brown. Robert Langdon's (Tom Hanks) character is back to trace a 400 year old trail of ancient symbols to save the Catholic Church from a deadly threat posed by the resurgence of the Illuminati - an ancient secret brotherhood. He was assisted by Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) an Italian scientist, and the Carmerlengo played by Ewan McGregor.

The scenes were mostly shot in the Vatican City and were stunning. The movie was well made, very much what you would expect from Ron Howard. It has more action than the Da Vinci Code with a few twists in the end. Overall, I would say I liked the movie.

xs:
I am leaving you with that for now, I will be a little late in replying to your comments. I have my CAPSIM exam on Wednesday and will need to study for it. Yes, my Summer A classes have started. It's a grueling 6 weeks of 3.5 hours per meeting. But I can almost see the light at the end of the Grad school tunnel and it will be worth it!

So, with that said, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend my lovelies!!

Friday night dinner...

Last night we went to dinner with friends to celebrate The Mr.'s birthday at Biscottis. The food was really good but the dessert was even better. Their Chocolate Truffle cake was to die for!



After dinner, we then proceeded to The Brick for some wine, coffee and cheese plate. Meet Trixie my dearest gal pal and shopping buddy. She also loves purses and shoes, Oh you should see her vast collection!


It was a bit chilly outside thus the coat and sweater in our picture. This is what I was wearing:

dress: Metropark
jeans: Citizens of Humanity
strappy heels: Bruno Magli - Cervia
accessories: BCBG link bracelet, hoop earings
bag: BCBG MaxAzria (on sale here)

Enjoy your weekend lovelies!
