Forever Frugal Friday

Happy Friday everyone! My girlfriends and I are planning to catch the SATC matinee tomorrow, and it seems very fitting to dress the part for the occasion, I mean this isn't your average movie! Even if I cannot afford all the same luxuries that those girls do, doesn't mean I can't look the part!

I love these Studded Enamel Rings in all the colors. At $5.80 they are the perfect pop or punch to any outfit or going out. Do as Carrie would and go ahead and throw on that extra accessory. Even if you think they are a bit bright or a bit much, the thing I have learned from those SATC girls is that if you own the look, you will look marvelous!

Hello Lovah.....

Just in time for the SATC premiere tomorrow, CUSP has some fabulous shoes that would definitely be appropriate for your inner Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda. As an added bonus they are all on sale!!

A while back I blogged about these amazing Manolo Blahnik Satin Gala Pump that I just had to have. Well, I ended up loving my Stewies and no longer require these fabulous pinkies, but that doesn't mean you don't need them. I totally see Carrie wearing these with some cargo pants, and a fabulous blouse, whilst trotting around the streets of New York.

These shoes were first brought to my attention by bride to be Shelby, as a possible wedding shoe and I gotta say that these Lamb Peep Toe Slit Detailed Pumps have got this girl Holla-ing back alright. I imagine power house Samantha Jones sauntering in these pumps with a sleek jersey dress and some big dramatic earrings. Prrr....

I love these green Lamb Crisscross Woven Sandals, which would be the perfect compliment to any LBD (Little Black Dress). These guys are totally for Miranda and her skinny after baby jeans, or they could also spice up her basic lawyer suits. These shoes will definitely drive Steve crazy, and perhaps lead to another Brady!

Sweet, classy Charlotte could easily wear these Manolo Blahnik Patent Heels to many of her charitable functions, or just to greet her sweet husband Harry at the door in...and perhaps nothing else.

Which ever girl your style is more like, just throw on some shoes and walk it out!

Wino Wednesday

Guess who's back...back again...Wino's back...tell a friend. Woo-hoo! Let's just say that after a mini-moon in Solvang I am ready to share some goodies with ya'll.

Elon and I rushed to Solvang the Sunday after our wedding (and by rushed I mean, enjoyed breakfast on our balcony at The Fairmont, which was followed by meeting up with friends and family at a brunch in Malibu) for a quick little mini-moon.

We began our private tour at Sunstone (above) and I instantly had a feeling I was gonna like this place a lot. We learned that one of the set designers for Indiana Jones helped design Sunstone, which became pretty apparent once I did some more touring around. Sunstone is unique in that all the grapes grown on location are organic. So most of all their wines are 100 % certified organic and most of their blends also are mostly organic. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and the whole setting was just so serene.

The staff was very friendly and so knowledgeable about any of our questions. Plus our gal gave us a tour of their storage barrels and showed us the super swanky VIP/Reserve wine tasting room for club members. After our tasting of six wines, came the tedious task of picking which bottle we wanted to take home (we wanted them all!). After careful consideration we decided on the Doce da Alma.

The Doce da Alma is a 100% organic Syrah Port Style Dessert Wine. Now, if you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I am a big fan of Syrah's. What I am not a fan of is Ports. Elon has been working on getting me to like them and they are just too heavy and remind me of old man. The Doce da Alma however is outrageously delicious. Smooth, sweet without making my mouth pucker, fruity and it left just the slightest sugary sensation in my mouth at the end. It was quite sexy actually...

So we have added this stunning bottle to our little (but growing) collection and I also grabbed a club membership card, because I believe this is the winery for us. If you find your self in Solvang I HIGHLY recommend making it over to Sunstone.

Forever Frugal Friday

It's too bad I didn't see this sweet Yellow & Ivory Nautical Tote Bag before my rehearsal dinner or you better have believed these bags would have doubled as gift bags. The perfect bag for the beach, boat, road trip or in my case bridesmaid gift bag. Easily roomy enough to fit your latest trashy romance novel, some water, a towel and some SPF.

If you are lucky enough to be getting away for Memorial Weekend somewhere sunny, this bag is a must have and comes in a variety of colors. I am thinking of picking one up in hopes that the sun will come out tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Carebear!

I totally need these pocket adventures! Especially now that summer is near and walks or rides on the beach cruiser are a must. Who knew Forever carried items like this?
