Lovable Friday!

1. Mismatched Triangle Studs

Little triangles seem to be all the rage in terms of accessories this Winter. Although I no longer visit brick and mortar stores, and am visiting proper online stores less and less frequently as of late, I can report that this is at least the case on Etsy. I have favorited many a triangular necklace, ring or, in this case, earrings. Not on Etsy (& coming with a major price tag), this mismatched pair of studs just makes me smile. I think it would make the perfect gift for a fashionista wife or sister, what say you?

Happy Hump Day: Hugh Grant

My friend used to pose a question to all girls he met, “Ewan McGregor or Hugh Grant?” He believed that this would lend some insight into their personality, but eventually became a source of frustration. Why, you ask? Well, because he realized every single girl he encountered would reply with Hugh Grant. He just couldn’t understand why. I always told him that it was his boyish charm that won us ladies over (despite that pesky arrest for lewd behavior). Since those college days, he has moved out of Florida and we don’t keep in touch steadily, but I do wonder if he ever met a girl that replied Ewan.

Since you all know what I answered, what would you?

Happy Hump Day: Viggo Mortensen

It’s impossible not to take note of Viggo Mortensen. Not only is he all sorts of lovely, but he’s a jack of all trades: musician, photographer, artist, and these are just a few. Although I knew of him, I fell in love with him in the role of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I can’t imagine anyone else in the role, although a funny tidbit is that it was initially supposed to go to Stuart Townsend, who was actually fired after a few days for being too young. And the rest, as they say, is history. During filming, he carried his camera around at all times and managed to snap some of my favorite pictures of Elijah and Dominic. He also was known for being overly affectionate with all members of the cast and Miranda Otto, who played Eowyn, stated in an interview that it was not difficult to act as if she was in love with him. I think we can all agree with you, girl.

Magical Moments Monday

There is definitely a lot to be thankful for on this magical Monday, so I won’t waste any more time and just get to it:

x. The hubs and I just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary & it was perfectly low key & romantic. Just our style.
x. Being home after a wonderful 2-week vacation. I missed our house and dogs so much!
x. Watching a shirtless Henry Cavill parade around with large sticks and bedazzled bows (as in archery, not hair accessories) in The Immortals.
x. Catching up on all our missed TV. What’s better than one episode of Fringe? THREE.
x. Pumpkin pie froyo date at TCBY.
x. A full-length Hunger Games trailer. And it looks amazing.
x. Getting my hubby completely enraptured with the HG series – now I can fangirl out with him!
x. Feeling the love on our new couple blog, The Bombardment Society.
x. Finding a fully stocked Harajuku Mini collection at my local Target AND being able to fit into a size XL!

Hope the rest of you had a fabulous week!
You all better keep on those strict diets leading up to Thursday’s turkey extravaganza!
Gobble gobble!

Happy Hump Day: Adam Levine

I first discovered Maroon 5 when they were featured in a popular Floridian department store’s commercial about 9 years ago or so. I loved the song (can’t even remember the single they used now), and my friends were resourceful enough to find out that this wonderful band was coming in concert. So we bought their CD and our $5 tickets (yes, really) and saw them perform in the backstage area of an amphitheater. What I remember the most is their amazing cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Closer, and apparently what I remember the least is that a very young (& adorable) Jason Mraz opened for them. Aside from their vintage musical stylings (yeah, I’m not a fan of their more recent material), what I loved the most was Mr. Adam Levine’s good looks. Sure, he’s a d-bag and the whole nine, but have you seen him work that microphone? And have you seen him topless? It almost makes me forget that their new single sounds like the season’s new gay anthem (not that there’s anything wrong with that). 😉
