If I Could Turn Back Time

I love me some Cher. She happens to be my all-time favorite actress; largely in part to her performances in Moonstruck and Mermaids.   And what a bod!  If only I was that tall & thin, even for one day.  But what I really admire about Cher is her amazingly eclectic sense of style.  Sure, she's had some wacky wardrobe choices over the years (hello biker babe with exposed butt cheeks!).  But nevertheless she always manages to pull off any look, all while exuding confidence.  I especially enjoy her glamorous styles from the sixties & seventies.  As you can see, Cher-esque looks have recently been reinterpreted.  And the beat goes on...seriously!

My Three Favorites

#1 . The Shopping Strike is over!  Thank the Lord.  Celebratory purchases were made at Target.

#2. My neighborhood restaurant Cassizzi's.  The former funeral home turned super cute Italian joint has a fantastic menu & a super accommodating staff.  It's fab!

#3. The new Showtime series The Borgias.  Very juicy story line & fabulous costumes.  Love!

Fabulous Friday!

Well, it's about that time!  Bring on the much needed cocktails and have a fabulous weekend!

Pretty Pretty Picnic

As I think of springtime and all the warm weather activities I want to partake in, a lovely outdoor picnic instantly comes to mind.  I haven't actually picnic-ed since my childhood years...what a blasphemous thought!  With that said, a gal can't go on her first picnic in decades without proper attire...right?  Or at the very least a super cute picnic basket.

Dear Mrs. Spade,

You are a genius. I would love to rock your flamingo bag on my upcoming trip to Florida. Can you please send me one...for free? Come on, I'll be your best friend! Think about it.

Love,

The Call Of The Wild

I have always been a fond admirer of leopard print.  Over the years I have owned just about everything you could possibly slap a leopard print on: car seat covers, fuzzy dice, pants (ooh boy), a check book cover, a day planner, shoes, purses, belts, undergarments, etc.  Something about leopard fashion items is impossibly chic and amazingly timeless.  In my humble opinion, wearing leopard the right way is an art form.  Too much at once can look trashy and cheap, but a sprinkling of leopard print among a simple ensemble can be very seductive.  Meee-ow!

My Three Favorites

1. Sonny & Joe's baba ganoush.  This is the best eggplant spread I've ever had.  It would be perfect alongside hummus, feta, peppers and fresh pita.  Num num.

2.  My new work commute.  I thought I would hate taking public transportation, but it's awesome not having to worry about traffic jams and the ever-increasing gas prices.

3. The library.  I always seem to forget there are a plethora of books and movies available for free!  Duh.
