Making Trek look good

It’s Thursday, which makes it almost Friday, which means we all need a little pick-me-up to get us through the day and one step closer to the weekend. What works best for me?

Pretty boys.
And here are two just for all of you!

Chris Pine & Zachary Quinto have just begun their tour of the world to support J.J. Abrams’ newly vamped Star Trek. It premiered in Sydney, Australia just a couple of days ago and a surprise screening was held in Austin earlier this week for a few lucky fans complete with Leonard Nimoy introduction. So that means the reviews have started rolling in. What is everyone saying? That it is a-freaking-mazing, that’s what.

Cube-an.

My husband and I are car lovers. I come from a long line of car love and my family boasts some pretty awesome vehicles. Don’t believe me? Check out what I opted to ride in to my wedding rather than the usual Rolls. Muscle cars are where it’s at and I have been making my family very proud ever since I purchased my meaty 2006 Mustang GT, which is an absolute blast to drive and basically the love of my life.

But I may have a mistress in my future and her name is the Nissan Cube. The Cube made her U.S. television debut on Monday night during an episode of Heroes, but she was already imprinted in my heart months prior. I blame this love affair on my husband who showed me pictures and videos of the adorable little car on a whim. We were sucked in immediately. How could you not be? First, the car couldn’t look more Japanese, which is a huge plus for me: sleek, futuristic, modern, sexy. After that, all the positives continued to roll in: starts at $13,990, 33 mpg, 6-speed manual transmission, a ridiculous amount of head room, ipod integration, wrap around rear window, “sofa styled” backseat and an array of colorful add-ons & customization options. Basically, what is there not to love?

Probably the insane dealer mark up & terribly long waiting list.
Cheers!

Apparently people are getting a 404 error when trying to leave comments to certain entries and I’m really sorry about that!

Hopefully I’ll be able to get that taken care of by tonight, but I just wanted to give you all a heads up just in case you have been trying to leave some comment love & have been denied!

Melificent still loves you!
Promise 😉

Update; the comments are still down. I had my “team” on it last night & nothing could be done. Apparently it’s a WordPress glitch that they have to fix. So I will glare at you, WP, until this is taken care of.

Fashion Nugget

I absolutely love shopping. I love clothes. I am  your typical girly girl.
One of my favorite shopping tips is to look for items online. You may be able to find items that you wouldn’t usually find out at local shops. Plus, you are less likely to run into someone wearing your exact outfit (embarrassing). Since Miami isn’t the best for thrifting, it’s all I got to find original pieces. Thanks to my good friend (& fellow knottie), Roxy, I was able to discover a new site that can give you loads of inspiration when it comes to fashion: Polyvore.

Polyvore gives fashionistas the opportunity to mix and match items from their favorite stores to create perfect outfits that they can share with others. How amazing is that dress featured above? I am totally obsessed with it, but unfortunately it is only available on a UK site that charges $50 for shipping alone!

Weekend Highlights

Saturday, as planned, the hubs and I along with some friends headed over to the Youth Fair. It was ridiculously hot & humid, but that didn’t stop us from eating a lot of fried food and taking an insane amount of photos (and video). I was surprised to see the Fair so empty. It felt like it was a weekday! But we didn’t complain, there were no lines and no large groups of obnoxious people. The highlights for me were the free petting zoo and corndogs. Later that day, we had our friends over for some beers, video games and a little ringlight action.
