It’s Swimsuit Season!

Or at least pretty damn close, right?
Usually this is a time of year that makes most females cringe, drop that cupcake and hit the gym in a fury. Luckily, this year I can’t wait to buy some new swimsuits because #1: I may have a pool come spring (!) and #2: Thanks to my amazing trainer, I have lost over 10lbs and 2 inches off my hips (!!!). Victoria’s Secret must have sensed my enthusiasm because I just got their Swim ’10 catalog and I’m loving so many pieces! Now if only I could get their models’ abs & tans!

Plasticland Favorites

One of my new favorite online shops is Plasticland. You may remember that I purchased the most awesome-sauce pink cuckoo clock there for my new pink room. Well, they don’t just have housewares. They have a variety of amazingly fun and retro items to choose from. And here are some of my most recent favorites:

P91126702

Watermelon Mini Skirt – $44

Can I get one in every color under the sun? I would literally wear this skirt every single day.

P91117901

Bardot Platform Pumps -$39

Oh heck yes. Pair this with a black dress or with a pair of skinny jeans and you will get all the right kind of stares.

P00209018

Decorated Tin Cupcake Carrier – $36

Being a big fan of baking and eating cupcakes, I often struggle with how I will transport them to parties or to my office. This is the most perfect and adorable solution ever.

1. Wear Today, Gone Tomorrow
1. Wear Today, Gone Tomorrow

I really love dress shopping (no secret on this blog), but I really hate how I often times have to pick the runners up because my favorites for events are usually way out of my price range. So I stroke them a few times, give them a kiss and then set them back on the rack. But I just discovered the site, Wear Today Gone Tomorrow, and I cannot wait to give it a try! The site is much like those seen for purses or even camera lenses – you get to borrow high-end designer dresses at 90% off for however long you’d like and then return them right back and pick up a new one! The lovely Paul and Joe Sister number above is one of the dresses on my current wish list and is only $34.50/week. Best part is I doubt I will need any of my dresses for more than one week as I’ll just be snagging them for special events like weddings, parties and showers. Has anyone used this site before? I plan on giving it a test drive next month so I’ll let you all know how it goes!

1. This incredible cake
1. This incredible cake

As most of you know, my blog will be one year old next week. When I first started blogging, I never imagined that anyone would really care to read about my life and the things I like to do, wear, see and hear. Now, I average about 300 hits a day. I know that does not make me the next Dooce or anything, but it is definitely more than I ever expected. I was kind of bummed because all the projects I had planned for my anniversary either fell through or just didn’t happen because of time restraints and then my friend Rosie shows up with this amazing cake! She is always one of the first to comment and is always singing my praises all over the Internets. She is really the sweetest and most incredible person. So thank you so much, Rosie! I know I told you a million times, but you made my month and totally caught me off guard! I heart you 🙂
