H to the P

So I decided to say Screw It! to Lovable Friday today to let you know how awesome Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince was. I was planning on a full review, but lately I have felt a little less than inspired and honestly very burnt out. All I can say is my vacation to San Diego can’t come soon enough!

Although not entirely true to the book (what movie is, really?), it did a great job capturing the feel and the basics. Plus the visuals were absolutely amazing! I wasn’t able to re-read the book in time for the movie, but I think it was one of the best so far. Unfortunately, the madness at the theater made me think twice about ever attending another midnight movie again and definitely solidified my plans to watch New Moon at Cinebistro (they showed the trailer & all the little girls shrieked like they had just been stabbed).

So with that, I wish you all a great weekend & hope you are not too disappointed with my lackluster post today. Good news? I’ll be cutting my hair this morning and hitting up Yard House for happy hour! Thank goodness for a little R&R to recharge the batteries!

What I Wore.

I know you are all still waiting on a review of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, but work has been driving me mad! I promise it’ll be part of Lovable Friday tomorrow morning!

I really look up to fashionista bloggers such as Jessica from What I Wore and even my own personal friends, like Ang, who manage to put together such great outfits on the daily and take such inspiring photos for the rest of us to try to emulate. Now Miami doesn’t have the best vintage shopping (if you know of any, please fill me in!) so I have to make due with what I find in “regular stores,” but I try my best to put together fun outfits full of personality as often as possible. And lucky for all of you, I decided to share some of my most recent get-ups.

New Toys!

My birthday came early today when I received not one, but two Fed/Ex packages at work! One was my new lens for my Canon 40D and the other was my new pink Speck case for the Macbook! So exciting. How perfect is that? Now my Macbook is Melificent approved and I can honestly say that I am ready for San Diego. Just one more week, people!

Happy Hump Day: Dominic Monaghan

27_11

Mr. Dom. Our love affair began a long time ago. Long before his role as has-been rockstar, Charlie, on LOST. It began when he had hairy feet and spent most of his time chillin’ in the Shire having second breakfasts. Although Elijah Wood has always been my favorite, I couldn’t overlook Dom’s manic and hilarious personality. He just seems like he’d be a really cool kid and someone I’d love to hang out with. Plus, he’s absolutely adorable even though he doesn’t exactly “measure up” to my standards (he’s an itty bitty 5’7″).

I also have to thank him for introducing me to now what is probably my favorite show of all time: LOST. When we attended Comic-Con in 2004, I made sure to be at the (first ever) LOST panel because he was going to be there. He is the reason both the hubs and I got sucked in from that day forward. And not a day goes by that I don’t miss his character to pieces (I can’t watch that episode – my heart breaks every single time!). There have been some hints that he might be returning to LOST (check out the infamous ABC promo) or even possibly on a new ABC show, Flash Forward. So let’s cross our fingers that we will be seeing more of Mr. Monaghan in the coming months, but for now, enjoy these pictures!

My Birthday Wist!

present

No, I haven’t developed a lisp, Wists are a great way to compile your very own interactive online wishlist! Every since I discovered Wists last year, I have been using & distributing them for my birthdays. Everyone is always so confused as to what to get someone for their big day, but Wists makes it oh-so-easy. I may have gone a little buck wild while scouring Etsy, but at least I gave people options, right? Hehe.

So if you feel like gifting me this year, I won’t hold you back! 😉
