Happy {V-Ball} Weekend

{via}

This weekend has me spending Saturday in Manhattan Beach, to experience the madness that is 6 Man. I am excited to hang with the girls, soak up so sun and see some incredible costumes (I will be capturing pictures). Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (perhaps boys do too)!

XOXO

Forever Frugal Friday

I want this necklace badly. The perfect accessory to add to that simple white tee or tank this summer. Done and done!

Designer Crush ~ Yumi Kim

I first learned of the awesome designs of Yumi Kim from my girl Jaime B (now Mrs. F). I borrowed this cute silk number to wear to the Sex and the City movie premiere with the girls.

Please excuse The Hulk...He was upset about his movie not doing so well...

From what I can tell, all of Yumi Kim's designs are made from this yummy soft silk and the patterns are bright, bold and fun. These designs are not for those bland at heart. Below are some of my favorite pieces from her Summer 2009 Collection (may I please have one of each).

I have been eying this Woori Paintbrush Top for quite some time, and it just went on sale across the street (uh-oh). I want to wear it with white pants to a outdoor eatery. Accessory of choice: glass of champagne.

I am still hesitant to think I call pull of the romper look, but I might just give this Nicole Romper a shot. Love the color, love the print and love that subtle ruching.

This dress screams "Hello Summer" to me. The Woori Dress in Green Pixie is just what that casual shindig you've been fretting about calls for. Light and airy with a fun ruffle to top it off. Love it!

Miami called, they want me to come back and visit wearing this hot fuchsia Juniper Natalie Dress. I am happy to oblige.

Going out for drinks with the girls or that special guy has never looked sassier than in this
Beige Abstract Silk Andrea Halter. Foxy!

Last but most definitely not least this purple Hydrangea Mandy Top can get your from work, to play in no time at all. The tiered layers are feminine and sexy at the same time.

Now comes the REALLY good part. If you are loving Yumi's designs as much as I am, Lucky Magazine fashioned up one fabulous discount code to use at Yumi Kim. Just enter "luckybreaks8" at checkout to receive not 10, not 20, but rather 30% off you goods. It's just that easy. Yay!

I am crushing hardcore on Hayden Panettiere's Zuhair Murad magenta frock. The fit is perfection, and the color is out of this world. Miss P has been on my fashion radar lately and her stylist receives many kudos from me.

Zuhair Murad has dressed the likes of Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and Jenna Fischer. His pieces are bold and extreme, and I am kind of dying to attend one of his shows. His Spring/Summer 2009 collection reminded me of The Little Mermaid, full of bright colors, and whimsical details. Keep an eye out for this guy!

The Reynolds Farewell Tour

Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds left for DC last Friday, but did not leave without a bang. Here is a roundup of the week long activities before they left LA.

First Up: Farewell Party at The Otheroom in Venice

The couple of the hour!

A light refreshing wine to start the night off (an additional 3+ bottles were ordered after this one).

The ladies will miss Mr. R!

WSU girls reunited and it feels so good (until the departure)

I am gonna miss this girl!

I mean could they be any cuter?

Next In Line: Coldplay Concert @ The Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine

On our way to the concert in convertible Connie (yes we all name our cars).

Dinner to beat the crowds before the concert.

In our seats waiting for the show to begin!

Bud Light makes any concert even better!

A song with a special place in my heart. Yellow! The yellow balloons were filled with confetti. So cool!

The confetti finale was incredible!

Confetti aftermath. The show was the MOST incredible thing I have ever seen. Absolutely invigorating and exciting. Made me love Coldplay even more than before.

Last Night: Dinner at Sushi Roku followed by a ride on the Ferris Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier

Mrs. R and Me :)

It was a good tour and I am already looking forward to our next reunion in August, for the Del Mar Races. Lots of love to the two of them and their new adventures back east!

The East Coast has never looked so good!

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Happy Birthday to my fantastically awesome friend Michelle! (Sorry this is a day late as blogger did not schedule as requested) Glad you had a fun weekend and hope all your wishes come true!

XOXOXO

Song Of The Week: Fireflies

I love Starbucks and Itunes. I always grab the free music download of the week whilst enjoying my cup of coffee and I always download the free song of the week every Tuesday on Itunes. Some of the music is really good and others leave something to be desired.

Two weeks ago they featured a band that I was unfamiliar with but instantly a fan of. Owl City's Fireflies is electric and I was in love at first listen. They remind me a lot of Postal Service (heart them) and the beats just makes you happy. I mean, just listen to this song and try to be in a pissy mood (it's really hard). Owl City is great for walking the dog, laying by the pool or your next road trip. If you are looking for new tunes, look no further...

Owl City = Awesome.
