Magical Moments Monday

I hope you all had a great weekend! Despite all the rain and gloom in our neck of the woods, we had a really action-packed one! Here are some of the moments that made it, and the rest of last week, so special;

x. receiving an invite to a blogger event
x. playing sloshball with good friends
x. karaoking to No Doubt
x. surprise visit by friends that led to talking for hours over fruity drinks
x. creating a new playlist on Spotify, Powerful
x. putting together my application to sit for certification – big deal
x. lunch date with old coworkers/friends
x. getting a package from Romwe with adorable accessories
x. finding the perfect affordable foundation (Revlon’s ColorStay if interested)
x. starting to pack for Europe (now 2 weeks away!!)
x. Zachary Quinto finally came out

Lots of shopping to do this week – picking up final little items for our trip, as well as Halloween costumes! I love October!

Lovable Friday!

1. Harajuku for Target

I love all things Gwen Stefani (I kind of want to be her when I grow up), so naturally I’m a big fan of all her fashion lines. You can imagine how excited I got when I found out she was not only making a more budget kiddie line, but that it would be exclusively sold at Target stores! Sure, I don’t have any children just yet, but it’s not too early to start collecting swag, right? OK, so that might be a little crazy, but this girl right here does not care. I just may try to squeeze into that perfect little tutu skirt! {God help me if I have a daughter.} Let’s just hope it doesn’t result in another Missoni debacle.

Happy Hump Day: Shia LaBeouf

Sure, sure. I can be a cougar at times – what of it?? Although at times I would watch Even Stevens (my friend’s little sister really loved the show), it wasn’t until Transformers that I really noticed how adorable Shia LaBeouf was – and how talented. Sure, he’s basically a somewhat self-contained trainwreck now, but at the time, he was just the best thing since sliced bread. I don’t think I have to say that aside from amazing CGI work, he carried that movie with his perfect comedic timing and charm (too bad the same cannot be said about the other two). I just wish he would clean up the ridiculous antics and mildly creepy facial hair, because I’m pretty sure he could rework his image and be that charming kid again. Until then, enjoy the hump!

ps; like my new hump day hottie badge? I had to give the boys some kind of honor!

Magical Moments Monday

So while I was driving last week, this huge and ridiculous smile spread across my face. Why? It was an absolutely gorgeous day, I was listening to one of my favorite bands on the radio and there was little to no traffic on the expressway. I got to thinking that the most simple things in life often go overlooked. However, oftentimes these overlooked moments are what makes life so magical. We tend to focus on the negative…well, maybe I should rephrase that. I tend to focus on the negative. I like to think that I am a pretty cheerful person, but I sometimes let myself get too overwhelmed with the seemingly bad or stressful. I won’t lie, this year has been a difficult one, but in the grand scheme of things: I am such a lucky girl.

1. Initial ring

I really love nameplates and initials on jewelry. I like the personalization and the simplicity. Believe it or not, despite my loud wardrobe, I prefer simple jewelry. These initial rings by Laladesignstudio on Etsy scream understated perfection. And it seems I’m not the only one that felt that way, due to overwhelming demand, she had to close her shop to catch up on orders. No worries though, you can ask to be notified when the shop is ready to be opened once more!
