my two.

my family

I never want to get out of bed because of this.

A big closet is the way to my heart.

My lover is making our old computer room, a closet for me.
YES blog babies, the WHOLE room will be used for my clothes/shoes/purses you name it!!! :) isn't he lovely???
He is soo my Big.

I saw this idea from this month's Domino Mag.

They featured the house tour of J Crew's fashion visionary, Jenna Lyons.

Loved it.

Esp. the idea she gave me for my shoes...

things that made my day.

So I've been feeling pretty BLA lately, for no reason really... Courtney emailed me this today :) because she saw it on tmz.com and thought of me. Robbie Williams!!! the man of my dreams reaching for um... ya lol It was sweet of her xo

other things that made my day?

C trying so sweetly to fix my cd player in my go-kart (car). And then his reply to my msg that my Mark Scarf came in!!! :

"I'm happy for your scarf!!! It's lucky to be able to touch you so much."

Omg. Do I not have THE best bf in the world???? le sigh. btw-- lovies, you neeeeed this scarf in your wardrobe! it's even prettier in person. Now... if only I can learn how to wear it like Rachel Bilson.

speaking things I love...

TARGET!!! you already know my love for GO International! Well, their Exhilaration brand is really stepping up! you can get a cute dress for only $24! like this one I wore on election day. Simple sweater-like dress... LOVE IT!Also found at Target....

Elnett Hairspray. Apparently this expensive bottle of hairspray is BIG on runways in Europe and it just now made it's way overseas...

$14 a bottle... I think I'm willing to pay that much to check it out. all in the name of fashion... :)

this cutie also made my day!!! My older sis sent me pics of my youngest niece Sophia dressed up for Halloween as Eyore.

Just tooo cute!!!!

I can't wait to have babies. :)

Trick or Trunk ;)

I miss my bambinas every single day.

awww and they INSTANTLY bring joy to their auntie's life.

A President For The World

YES we can!!!!

look at the lovely soon-to-be First Family

Wow... is all I could say seeing the screen that said he would be the 44th President of the US and seeing all the emotions in Chicago. Pretty Amazing to be an American right now.

On the Early Show today, they had this story about how far we've come in this country when it comes to Race. They showed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech where he says, "We shall overcome"--- and the same time, you heard Obama say it...

*side story... In Elementary we had to dress up as someone we looked up to and I dressed up as MLK. I wore my Dad's suit coat and drew a picture of Dr. King :)

pretty powerful.

It's a different America... A one that wants to Change.

This weekend, we went and saw "The Secret Life of Bees." At first, C complained about going because it's a 'chic flick' but- "it's quality time with my gf." :) He was glad he did. AMAZING acting. AMAZING message and a sense that, we really have come a long way.

In the movie, Jennifer Hudson's character just wants to have the right to vote. Risks her life to do so.

Obama IS the New Hope.

But I would like to say, when McCain conceded the Presidency, and gave a very humbling/gracious speech... it touched my heart. I wanted to hug him. :)

I think me and Abbie should get this shirt!

It will be a close one!!!

I hope everyone has hit the polls or has plans to!

I said yes, to obama.

C hit the polls before work today:

my text: I love you my fave Republican!

C: Love you more my favorite swing voter!

it's true. This is a historical election for MANY reasons, but also personally for me. It's the first time I voted outside my political party.

C is going to be busy at work all day, and though I know how exciting it would have been to work at a news station tonight... I'm not thinking I'm going to be missing out [though for the record-- my news director wanted me to work! lol Conflict of interest with my current job] because I will be watching my bf inform me :) and I will be in front of the tv with my family... just like we were during the summer Olympics.

so here's to our country! and tonight, for we will know who our next President will be.

such a heavy note to leave on, so I will leave you with another cute text C wrote me:

"Due to long lines today, all Obama voters are asked to vote on Wednesday. Thank u!"

Feeling Sorry For Myself.

I hate:

Our house is a mess and I don't know where to begin to fix it. (sorry lover)

That it's not fancy/artsy/vintage-y/chic as the pages of my Domino magazine.

That I can't cook.

That I can't get over the weight I've gained since leaving the News.

That since I don't have to "worry" about my appearance so much, I can't seem to remember how to do my hair. *plus side? it gets done wens!!! Spa Bella, it's been waaaaay too long!

That I'm too nice.

That I drink waaaaay to much coffee.

That I will never be the kind of girl to pull off bangs/tucked in shirts/looking cute in a hat though I DESPERATELY want to be.

That I lose my fave pair of earrings/rings cos I'm such a scatterbrain.

That I haven't been able to go to the gym cos I work too much.

That it feels like forever since I've been to church.

That I'm not totally complaining that I work too much cos I shop waaaaay too much.

That I don't see my Momma as often as I'd like.

I hate that I'm complaining at all!!!!

sigh.

I have the best bf in the world. After his long day at work, he's stopping by the store to pick up a wall kit so he can hang up a mirror in our living room and "The Kiss" print I bought today and had especially framed. My most favorite piece of art in the world... and it will be in sight for my lover and i when we wake up and he holds me in his arms just like in the painting... heavenly. magical.


amore... just the opposite of hate.

Halloween Fun 2008!

Halloween Fun 2008! us girls did the alice in wonderland theme.

I was the cheshire cat, steph was a flapper *ok not part of the theme lol*, marianne is the white rabbit, and lauren (hostest with the mostest) was the Queen Of Hearts.

my cheshire cat costume didn't keep me warm outside :)

steph borrowing C. :) C's costume was um... "hung like a horse." ha i know... classy.....

lauren & mehle decorated the backyard so cute!!!

my blackberry didn't take such a great pic but! it's funny cos it's a bat ring and me and marianne joked that it was honestly a sexy vampire, think Lestat from Interview With the Vampire. :) lol

Lovies, I hope you all had a great and fun halloween as well!!!

I know someone who had a FABULOUS/LOVELY one... ;) congrats to the couple-to-be xo
