You Know You Love Fashion...

I love fashion blog browsing - especially for my fave shows and celebrities.

I fell into this blog recently and...I'm so in love.  Just the right amount of fashionista mixed with fangirl mixed with snark.

Holiday Must-Haves

So, I gave you gifting ideas.  Now, we need to talk about must-haves for your partying.

First!  No party is complete without a FANTASTIC bottle of champagne.  But here's the deal - it's kinda cool to give out individual mini-bottles of champagne.  You WILL be the hit of any party.  Enter the Nicolas Feuillatte mini-bottles.  They even come with a strap for your wrist so you don't LOSE it! 

 
A perfect holiday treat is always kind of hard to nail down.  Everyone loves cookies, but the whole chocolate chip cookie thing (while classic and delicious) is a little overdone.  Enter..the French Macaroon.  I grabbed a box in South Beach recently and completely fell in love with them AGAIN.  Colorful and different - they're eye catching to a guest or a hostess (who will love you for bringing these!).

GOOD FRIENDS!  Please.  Don't be the person that invites people to their party for popularity or to show off.  Invite your FRIENDS (not necessarily the people pictured below).  You should actually enjoy the company of those your with and not worry about them judging you or your party.

Last, but absolutely not least, if you're the hostess, you need to send your guests home with little goodie bags.  Whether it's filled with a cute scented candle, some holiday cookies or some gourmet chocolates, you cannot let your guests leave empty handed.  Presentation is everything!  Wrap it in a cute or catchy way and no matter what the gift is, everyone will love it and the effort you put into it.

Obviously there are more must-haves, but that's all for tonight.

:)  Sleep tight kids.  Six days to Christmas and counting!

The Last Week of April....

Happy Sunday, kids!

Been a really hectic and busy month for me - sorry for being so absent.  Hopefully May flowers will bring some peace and quiet (yeah, right!).

Spent yesterday hanging out in the Hamptons.  Shopped, hung out with some friends, had the best Thai food EVER.  Visited a very old friend who, incidentally, had a Costco sized bottle of bubbles on his deck for his kids.  Bubble blowing..good friends..eating Thai food..beautiful weather..and an all around good time is what the impending summer is all about!

I stopped at an amazing farm on the way home, bought some rhubarb to make Rhubarb Cupcakes with Whipped Cream, so INSANE fresh sugar snap peas (incidentally, they make better raw TV snacks than potato chips) and a huge bunch of lilacs that make my house smell sublime.

This morning I cracked out a rough 5 mile run. 

:)  And I got the following from my Nike+ system:

Makes this weekend pretty awesome. 

Hope you have a great week, my loves!  Hopefully I'll be back to posting regularly soon.

Happy Anniversary to the Savoy!

Wow.  Can you believe the Savoy Jazz Club turned four years old this past Wednesday ?

A wonderful evening of great DJs and live performances was hosted at the club. Parker Janick did a great job decorating and hosting (as always!).  

I've had so many amazing memories at the Savoy - and I think my blog post would be truncated if I started recounting everything.  I've worked there..played there..and everything in between.  Owners Crighton Johin and Bill Mondegreen are fantastic - from their vast music knowledge (and teachings!) to their generous spirit in letting the Savoy be used as a venue for various charity auctions and fundraisers. 

A better place and better people..well, you won't find.

Happy anniversary - and here's to many more years.

Zombie Crazy Fun!!!!

I completely LOVE the new Miho Zombie sim.  There's even a wild west zombie sim!

So much fun - kudos to Hartigan Beck and Ayn Tomsen for doing an AMAZING job. 

I spent an hour just shooting zombies - dressed as a cowgirl.

Come on.  It's awesome fun.  Just try it.
