Hope everyone had a nice holiday! I caught up on some Grey's Anatomy (I finally finished the 2nd season!)

I also watched this disaster yesterday..

So so so so very boring. I can't really say much else. It was a bit odd to see Kristin Stewart play a "call girl" but she still was Kristin Stewart. I love her but she can't really be anyone else besides Kristin Stewart lol.

This comes in the mailbox this week.. and I've heard great things about it so hopefully it is!

Plus Michael Cera is so geeky cute ;)

What's on your must-watch list?

Thanks to Netflix for the pictures!

Manic Monday

And indeed it is.. I'm sure many of us Americans are either at a barbecue at the moment or are heading to one (which I will be once my husband is FINALLY  ready to go!) hehe.. so in honor of Memorial Day, my songs this week are patriotic or culturally American in some way.

Estelle f/Kanye West- American Boy

They played this a lot in Italy, believe it or not, and this is my husband's ringtone when he calls me :)

Bruce Springsteen- Born in the USA

Mr. Springsteen and I share the same birthday :)

Jay-Z f/Alicia Keys- Empire State of Mind

Some would argue that New York is the best city in the world. Many would argue its the best city in the United States. I would argue that I need to visit SOON!

Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend! Thanks to YouTube for the videos!

Ti Amo Thursdays

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a lovely week.. I know I am looking forward to the long holiday weekend (hopefully it doesn't rain the whole time!) Here are my picks for the week:

Bird Print Ruched Sleeve Dress from GoJane

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!

Colin Stuart Strappy Platform Pump from Victoria's Secret

These just scream "bombshell" at me. My favorites are the nude with black straps but the yellow is a close second.

Rosetti Cross-Body Handbag from Kohls

The day after I buy a handbag, I'm already on the hunt for a next. I am so picky when it comes to purses that it usually takes months to find one that will work for me. I really enjoy this cross-body and I love the color!

So, what have you had your eyes on lately?

My Monday yesterday was so manic, I didn't have time to post my Manic Monday. As the only contributor to this blog with a full time job and now school, there will prob be times that I won't be able to post. Which sucks royally. I wish there were 7 of me to help me get everything done.

Over the weekend, I watched Vampire Sucks. While Matt Lanter is oh so yummy, there were only a few ha-ha moments and the rest of the movie was spent shaking my head at the ludicrous parody.

Coming in the mail today is...

To be honest, I'm a little nervous about it. Ricky Gervais is usually hilarious but his performance while hosting the Golden Globes was so uncomfortable, I'm hoping this movie doesn't contain bitter Ricky.

What are you watching this week?

Fabulous Buys

As promised, I told you I would share some of my recent buys!

Women's Mid-Rise Trouser Jeans from Old Navy

These were oh so flattering on me and for only $9.99 on their clearance rack, I was beyond thrilled.

This is not the exact tank but I bought one similar to this from Charlotte Russe for only $10--no jewels in front and it was racerback. I don't own a lot of white and I've recently been stocking it!

I have to admit, I went a little crazy at Forever 21 a few weeks ago hehe but scored some truly fabulous things. Hope you agree :)

Floral Tie Waist Shorts

These are oh so comfy and cute at the same time!!!

Waved Stripes Top

The one I bought is cream and black.

Babushka Doll Necklace

These dolls were everywhere when we went to Prague last fall so when I saw this necklace I had to have it and for only $1.50 what's not to love?!

I bought a few more tops from Forever 21 as well but can't seem to find them on the website. Regardless, its been a successful and frugal few weeks for me :)

Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks to Old Navy, Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 for the pictures!!!



Ti Amo Thursdays

This week has been finale week for many of the CW shows and many of them are ending with pregnancy cliff-hangers!! lol its completely unrelated to my picks for the week but just had to share that thought.

Cut out Patent Bow Platform from GoJane

This just screams Blair Waldorf. I love the classiness of them and for under $30 you can have high style within your budget!

Endless Eyelets Dress from Forever 21

I am loving the simple silhouette but the eyelet detail provides just the right amount of texture to it. So cute!

Adele 21 from Amazon

I don't think I've been this crazy about a new artist since I discovered Silversun Pickups three years ago. Her voice is so insanely good and certain music just reaches right into your soul.. she's one of 'em.

So ladies (and gents) what have you had your eyes on buying lately?

Thanks to GoJane, Forever 21 and Amazon for the pictures!

As I mentioned on Monday, I've been a little distracted with returning to grad school and being glued to my couch watching the following (there's not much else to do when your city is slowly turning into swampland!)

Last weekend, my husband and I watched this disaster of a movie:

I love both of these actors but man oh man did I struggle to get through this one. The story has been done better (See "Repo: The Genetic Opera") and the lack of song made the removal of body parts just well, bloody.

For the past couple of weeks we've been hooked on

I was sooooo skeptical about watching this and I'll admit it took about halfway through the first season for me to start to like it but oh my goodness once it has you hooked, you're done. The Sons are infectious with their constant drama and shenanigans. We just finished Season 2 last night and I'm itching to move on to Season 3.

Coming in the mail today is

I love musicals! And with this all star cast and subject matter, I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it! :)

So what have you been watching lately?

Thanks to Netflix for the pictures!



Manic Monday

Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend. I plan to do an impromptu post of "In the Queue" tomorrow to update you all on what has been keeping me away from you as well as some "Fabulous Buys" I've made recently.

But onto my music picks for the week. I'm basing today's picks on today's weather: rainy and dreary.

Garbage- I'm Only Happy when It Rains

oh, how I love Shirley Manson and her vibrant red hair.

Missy Elliot- I Can't Stand the Rain

We've had weeks and weeks of rain here, people. I'm starting to feel like I live in Seattle or London and I catch myself singing this song in my head anytime I back out of the garage and a raindrop hits my window.

Adele-Set Fire to the Rain

Adele is my favorite new artist right now. Love, love, love her voice!

Thanks to YouTube for the videos!

Ti Amo Thursdays

Hello lovelies! Hope you all have been having a nice week. The weather here in northern KY has been warm and sunny.. finally!!! Here are my picks for the week:

Pocketed Belted Collared Romper by GoJane

This just screams fun sophistication for me!

LANEY Stripey Patent Sandals in Red from TopShop

And wouldn't these be the perfect complement for that romper?! Hmm.. I could get them just in time for Memorial Day..

Horoscope Hand Sanitizer from Bath & Body Works

Everyone loves hand sani, especially the PocketBac from Bath & Body with the attachment that wraps around your purse handle. So why not display a part of your personality with your zodiac sign? Libra (my sign) smells divine!!

Thanks to GoJane, TopShop and Bath&Body Works for the pictures!



Manic Monday

I hope I don't sound like a broken record, but I apologize for the lack in posting last week. I am battling some kind of stomach issue and between work and life, I've been sleeping a lot more than normal. I also have started graduate school so time is lacking more than I would like. My songs today are based around the Fast & Furious films since we saw the 5th installment "Fast Five" last week.

DJ Shadow f/Mos Def- Six Days Remix

This comes from the 3rd film: Tokyo Drift which is mine and my husband's favorite.

Ludacris-Act a Fool

This is from the 2nd one which is my least favorite of the series, but it featured Ludacris who reappeared in the latest whom I do love <3

Saliva-Superstar

This is from the first one. I think its a good song to get "pumped" up for something, no?

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Thanks to YouTube for the videos!

Manic Monday

Not so much manic anymore, thank goodness. But I am preparing for the GMAT which I take this Friday since I am going back to school to get my MBA this fall.

Anyways, there's been lots of talk about classic rock this past week between myself, my husband and best friend so my picks this week are some of my favorite classic rock songs.

Led Zeppelin-Whole Lotta Love

I love pretty much anything by Led Zeppelin :)

Fleetwood Mac-Gold Dust Woman

Fleetwood Mac is probably in my top 10 of favorite bands of all time. I adore Stevie Nicks and would love love love to see her or Fleetwood Mac in concert. This song is hippy to the core but so fantastic. I remember being a little girl helping my mom clean the house to the Rumors record and belting out this song at the top of my lungs hehe.

Janis Joplin-Piece of My Heart

I love the gritty rawness to her voice. It gives me chills listening to her. But I understand that her sound is definitely an acquired taste.

Thanks to YouTube for the videos. Hope you all have a good week!!
