Winner of the Cupcakes & Mace Giveaway!

Congratulations to Ang! She is the winner of a Cupcakes & Mace unicorn necklace! Please email me with which color you would like your little horny beast to be (you can choose from here), and your mailing address. Squee!

Thanks to everyone who participated – I really enjoyed reading all your unicorn memories! I noticed a lot of you mentioned the 80’s film, Legend, and I thought I would share with you all that I have never seen it. I know. Complete sacrilege. All your posts about it definitely has made me want to change that sooner than later though.

Thanks again & I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday! 🙂

90’s Flashback

As I mentioned during yesterday’s post, I am a teen of the 90’s. Some say I haven’t really moved on, especially musically. I just don’t think anyone can compare to the wonderfully grungy, alternative bands of the decade. Is that so wrong?

I was inspired by some fun I had on Facebook a few weeks ago, when I started uploading some of my favorite 90’s videos. All my friends seemed to love it, and we had a great time reminiscing about “the good old days” (are we getting old or what!). So without further ado, here were some of my most favorite 90’s music videos:

Happy Hump Day: Raine Maida

I am a adolescent of the 90’s. This is pretty evident once you get to know me and my CD collection. I have fond memories of using school computers to go on band fansites (I didn’t have Internet of my own just yet) and print out photos of all my favorite hot rockstars to wallpaper my locker or notebooks. I vividly remember Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace being one of them. Although they were a pretty big deal in the 90’s, I was surprised to see them still touring recently. They played at a local South Florida rock festival a couple of years ago that I attended and I was curious to see if they would still sound the same, worse? I was pleasantly surprised when they took the stage that they are still as great as ever and even appeased all us 90’s fans by playing their old material, which instantly took me back to being an angsty teenager (a place of comfort once you are an angsty adult). Another surprise? That lead singer, Raine, was just as hot as I remembered. But I’ll leave that opinion up to you all.

Dreaded Blog Question

Via Pinterest

When you have a blog, and you start putting it out there (or attempting to), the first question asked is always the most dreaded for me: “What kind of blog is it?” It seems like the most basic of questions. One you should be able to answer without a second thought, but for me, a blogger that has been struggling to find some sort of focus for 2 years, it is a nightmare. Or is it?

I had been putting off the search for focus because I like the fact that I can post about anything and everything. The sky is the limit; I am not pigeon holed to only discuss one topic. But at the same time, every video created by famous bloggers states that your number one goal is to narrow your focus and decide what kind of blogger you want to be. Well, shit.

Lovable Friday!

1. H&M striped dress

How perfectly Spring is this dress? It really makes me want to kick H&M in the rear for not having a South Florida store (although that will change in 2012) or a US online store (also changing in 2012). This gorgeous little number is only $30, ladies. THIR-TY. I pay more for gas weekly. Sometimes life just isn’t fair.
