Dreamy White

Anyone else experiencing Blogger issues?! It's rather frustrating, Blogger...get with it!

On to more important things, like bedding! For some reason, I've always loved all white bedding. It just seems so clean, fresh, and inviting to snuggle up in! I've wanted to make the switch to stark white bedding for a while now, but the only problem is that I have a few bad bed habits, like performing the occasional quick-manicure on my nails before turning out my light, and sometimes, when I am really being flat-out lazy, I'll take my hand held mirror and do my makeup while sitting on my comfy bed. Not exactly the type of behavior that is required to maintain such a color of bedding. So until I can kick my bad habits, I will look at these perfectly fitted, all white beds.








Ok, now I'm ready for a nap!

Dolce & Gabbana Marilyn Dress

I think I might live under a rock, because I am just now seeing this amazing Fall/Winter 09 dress by Dolce & Gabbana that pays homage to the one and only, Marilyn Monroe. D&G debuted the piece at their March 2009 runway show and a few nights ago actress Molly Sims wore it to the CDFA Awards. Can I place my order now?! Ha!

Question: Who is your favorite beauty/leading-lady icon of all time?! I go back and forth between Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn...but they are so different that there is room for both in my heart!

Mark your calendars for November 14th my loves- I know I am!

Lakers Inspired

Okay, I don't want to get hate mail from those who don't like the Lakers, because honestly, I was there once too and I feel your disdain! But after moving to LA almost 6 years ago, I have finally warmed up to them and now look forward to their season (even if it is just to see Justin Timberlake on the "Kiss Cam" or Jack and his Ray Ban's sitting court-side).

So, in honor of the massive Victory Celebration parade that is going on right now in downtown Los Angeles, here are some fabulous pieces and interiors, all of which *of course* are purple and gold.

Congrats, Lakers fans. Again, no hate mail please :)

Nautical Girl

How cute are these nautical inspired pieces?! They make me want to rent a beach house in the Hampton's for the summer and go to soiree's with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Kelly Ripa, and all the other East Coast socialites!

Show Me Your Heart

The other day, Liz at the fabulous blog It's Unbeweavable tagged me in a "show me your heart" post. I had to twitter her for further clarification as to what tagging meant, and thankfully she helped me out! And then tonight, to my surprise, I was tagged and given an award by another great blog, OceanDreams. Thank you both so much for including me!

Really quick, before I "show you my heart," please be sure to check out It's Unbeweavable and OceanDreams- amazing girls with beautiful hearts and great blogs!

The tag:
"with as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in: a picture, a poem, a song (or piece of music), a phrase (or quote), an item of clothing, a place, and (just for fun) a Disney princess. If you want to join in, tag 6 more blogs."

P
oem: this helped me find strength and heal my heart when I suddenly lost my Mom last year:

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

Song: Who I am by Jessica Andrews. Here is a snippet of the lyrics:

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

Phrase: If it's not broke, don't fix it. (Something I tell my OCD-self all day long!)

Item of clothing: Burberry Quilted Jacket (I have this in black, pink, and red because they are so lightweight and versatile for LA weather)
Place: My parents condo on Waikola Beach in Hawaii

Disney Princess: Sleeping Beauty, but only if I can be in this photo with Zac Efron as my prince charming! Yes, he is too young for me, and yes, my boyfriend gets irritated with my little crush, but I cant help it! Too cute :)
OK...now on to the fun part! I tag AND pass along the Charming and Honest Award to these really amazing friends who I enjoy reading everyday! Please check them out:
