Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Emersonmade

I have been a fan of Emersonmade for quite some time now and been meaning to share all her darling goods with you all.  I was reminded of my need to post this morning when I saw this darling Summer Clutch that is just SCREAMING my name. 

I need, need, need to own this clutch.  The size, color and flower are the perfect for the sunny days ahead. 

Another piece I am coveting is this Flower Chain necklace in White & Ivory.  The perfect piece to dress up the most basic outfit.  I love the way she is wearing it here (in fact I really want to replicate this look immediately) but am also imagining it with for work when I have to wear a suit.  Should help me stand apart from the rest!

And I really wish that I had planned my SATC 2 outfit better, as this Cheeky Dahlia would have been a great tribute to Carrie's revival of the bold flower accessory.  Again, Emerson's look here is spot on and exactly how I would want to wear it.  Although I am loving it worn below as well....

Another great way to bring fashion into the office!

On a random side note, I always think it is so funny how in blog-o-sphere often you are thinking (or working on) the exact same subject, topic, trend as someone else?  Happened to me today over at Jamie of all Trades (she also happens to be one of my favorite girls out there - so be sure to give her some love).  I guess great minds think alike and we are all thinking Emersonmade is pretty damn great!

Sex And The City 2 Premiere Red Carpet

I am pretty sure every girl everywhere is anxiously counting down the days/hours until the release of the new SATC movie. I am also one of them and plan to see it very late and a couple of cocktails deep with some girlfriends on Friday night.

Some lucky peeps in NYC got to attend the premiere last night, and while the red carpet looks could have been a little more daring and fun, my girl SJP did not disappoint (and I am pretty sure Carrie would not have complained either) with her stunning neon yellow Valentino gown.

Zimbio

The color, the draping the flow of it all.  Absolutely breathtaking!

Zimbio

Her hair color is perfect for summer, the loose waves are sexy and gorgeous and her makeup is perfection!

Zimbio

Kristin Davis looked every bit her character of Charlotte in this bold pink vintage Jean Desses.  I adore the color but would have liked to see her with her hair different or something to make her stand out a bit more. 

Zimbio

I liked where Kim Catrall was headed with this Naeem Khan "Old Hollywood" glamour but it just didn't really work that well for me.  Perhaps if she had more of (spray) tan or the color was a little less muted. 

Zimbio

Cynthia Nixon wowed me in her fitted Caroline Herrera number.  Yes it was plain, but it fit her perfectly and combined with her simple hair (loving the color and cut) and glowing makeup, she really had the whole package going for her.

Zimbio

Jennifer Love Hewitt showed off her hot bod and tan in a Herve Leger bandage dress.  However, she wore an almost identical dress not too long ago.  Carrie Bradshaw wouldn't be too pleased.

I think Carrie Bradshaw would have given Whitney Port two thumbs way up for her Moschino dress and black booties.  Loved everything from her head to her toes! 

Zimbio

Candace Bushnell may be able to create one hell of series that everyone is addicted to, but she seems to be lacking in the putting together an incredible ensemble for a huge premiere look.  Blech.

Zimbio

I am pretty sure nobody will be knocking on Suzanne Somers door to borrow this tacky number.  Her legs look great but this dress is just a big mess. 

Are any of you attending a midnight showing tomorrow of the movie?  Will you be waiting to see it over Memorial Day Weekend or just ignoring the crowds all together and wait for it to come out on DVD? 

Waldo's Got Skills!

Yes I am still pimping out my sweet Waldo for cutest pet in L.A. and need your vote. The website is awful and you have to register BUT they do not sign you up for any emails or newsletters, so if you can find the time in these next few days (Voting ends 05/27) please vote for Waldo here! It may take two or three tries but it should work :)

And as a thank you for voting, Waldo would like to share his skills with you all!

Song Of The Week: Airplanes

Maybe I am biased because I work in the aviation industry, but I am seriously loving me some Airplanes, Part II [Feat Eminem & Hayley Williams Of Paramore] (Explicit Album Version) by B.o.B.  The song is extremely catchy and I heart the chorus mucho! I also enjoyed B.o.B.'s first hit Nothin' On You [Feat. Bruno Mars] (Album Version), but am a wee bit (okay A LOT) over it since it appears to be on heavy rotation on any and every radio station in L.A.

I also wish that I could jump on an airplane and head over to NJ to see the lovely Mrs. S who is celebrating her birthday today!  The last time I saw this gorgeous gal was when she was about to give birth to her sweet little baby boy, who is now 26 weeks (give or a take a week).  I am ecstatic to get to see her in July and meet that precious little bundle of joy!

Happy Birthday Mrs. S!  Love you lots and lots!

XOXOXO

Happy Birthday Carebear!

The happiest of birthdays to my very bestest friend in the whole wide world Mrs. R!

Welcome to 30!  You have been looking forward to this day since Mr. R turned 30!  I so wish I was in DC celebrating the special occasion with you!  I cherish all our memories from these past 12 years and look forward to all the memories we have ahead of us. 

Some of my favorites:

*Ta-Tonka 

*Drunken Beer Fights in Frats

*Rally in the Roto

*Neptune Marina

*Those Crazy Frenchies

*Food Network Dance Off

*Wine and Life Guard Towers

*Miami (thank you, thank you, thank you)

*Starbucks

*Mariah Carey in the streets of Solvang

There are really too many to list, but thank you for always being so supportive and inspiring.  I feel like the luckiest girl alive to call you my BFF!  May this year bring quarterly visits, success, relaxation, vacations, luck and extra love.  You are a phenomenal woman and I love you with all my heart!

XOXO

Forever Frugal Friday

A few weekends ago at the Uno de Mayo party I attended, one of the girls had those cute hair ties that look like this...

And I absolutely adored the look and wanted to pick some up for home.  Now, while I do love the Bop Bijoux variety and styles, I do not appreciate the $45 price tag that comes along with 18 of these ties.  Call me cheap, but inevitably these cute (expensive) ties will be lost in the car, eaten by Waldo or loaned out to a girlfriend.  Which is why I was so excited to find these guys!

Yes they aren't as fancy as the Bop Bijoux ones and are made of a different material but all I care about is the variety of colors and that the look in my hair is the same. That extra $40 I save can be used towards my next hair cut.  These little guys will be perfect for pulling my hair back poolside, or even just walking around town.  Love!
