Bunches of Balloons

With 2010 right around the corner, I cant help but see things that I want to ring in the new year with! Balloons are a great reminder of celebrating in high heals and party hats (or in my case, bunny ears).

Stary Night

I love the feeling of magic these images evoke. Part of me wishes that people would leave Christmas lights up year round but that might just ruin the magic of it.

Merry Christmas!

Jingle Bell Rock!

Both highly criticized, these eccentric women are crazy beautiful in their own right.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Everyone has that one movie they watch on repeat when no one is around. My guilty pleasure is Marie Antoinette, especially after working wardrobe on a movie. I have a whole new appreciation for costume. The wardrobe department for this must have been a dream to work with. It must feel like reliving the actual era and I would be the nut who would lock myself up with these dresses!

Almost four years old now, I think everyone owes this movie a second watch!

All Hail The Queen Of Clubs!

Few things are sexier than a pair of Louboutins and few things are more intriguing than a fresh September issue. One thing that is more inspirational above it all is music. Music sets a mood, gets you moving and influences people no matter where they are from, or what language they speak.

I know one person who knows music above and beyond what I ever knew music to be. She mixes unique blends of the best sounds unrestricted by genre or era. DJ Alex Merrell, The Queen of Clubs has bestowed us with this weeks must hear rainy day mix. So listen up and All Hail The Queen Of Clubs!

Rainy Day Report

There is something refreshing and comforting about the sound of the drip droplets rain creates on your window. The smell of wet pavement on a warm summers day is what memories are made of. On a delightful December rainy day like today, all you need is a down comforter, a movie and some soup to warm your soul. If however, you must venture into the rain, be sure to go prepared!
