Rox: My baby left me

Happy Weekend!

I hope the next two days and nights are filled fun for you! Here’s what I’m hoping for me.

A little lovin’

Some rest  

Spring Flowers 

Dinner with friends (al fresco- natch) including a champagne toast photo_brunch.jpg

I’d like for boyfriend and I to talk wiggles on a long walk. (This is them – below) Aren’t they adorable? I am lucky!

In this park. Perhaps he’ll bring along delicious drinks for us to share?



I’ll swing and he’ll push. Then he may or may not have a picnic put together for us EXACTLY like the one below.

Sunday will bring peonies and coffee and lazing.

Wishing you the same and much more. xx

White Eyeliner & Lady GaGa

I’m not sure but I think I want to embrace the runway white eyeliner trend. See below on Jac – the “top model” of Paris Fashion week.

I really want to do it. It’s so glam and yet ethereal? Where does one find white eyeliner?

PS: If you haven’t already, check out the Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce “Telephone” video. It made me want to break out in dance in my cube.

I also love The Cut’s fashion analysis, check it out here.  Happy Friday!

For Music Lovers

If you’re like me, music gets you through the day and when you discover a new song you are into, you get excited. If you realize you can download that song for free and enjoy it as your very own, you get ecstatic. That happened to me today with some really interesting/entertaining music blogs. Here they are, go forth and listen.

Check those out if you know what’s good for you. Also found a site for blatantly free music…nice. Try-Music

I might as well tell you what I found for free that I’m obsessed with now.

What U want by Lupe Fiasco, Slippin by Quadron, Everything (Fleetwood Mac Cover) by Vampire Weekend, Life on Mars by Seu Jorge, Sexual Healing by Hot Chip, Sexual Healing by Hot 8 Brass Band, Where is my mind? by Emmy the great, Take me home country roads by Toots and the maytals, All at sea by Jamie Cullum, Band on the run by the Foo Fighters

Search for them or buy them. All amazing tunes and playing on repeat in my iPod.

One of “those” days

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing can pull you out of a strange funk? It’s like nothing is really going wrong but nothing’s really going right either. Even though you have things to look forward to, you can’t see them clearly in your mind. It’s like one of those cheesy Claritin clear commercials where the person can’t see for their allergies? Except it’s not allergies, it’s just the “can’t help it’s” as my mom used to call it.

Today is Tuesday. My office has tinting on the windows, so that people outside can’t see in. You’re supposed to be able to see out, but the tint is so extreme that everything ALWAYS looks gray unless the sun is so bright you’d be blinded if you were out of doors. Some days it bothers me more than others, today is one of those.

So…let’s see, what should I be happy about today? For one, it’s March. March can honestly be as dreadful as February but it’s at least nearing spring. Daylight savings is coming up. That’s always lovely. It feels gorgeous to be sitting outside at 8:30pm and still feel the sun shining on you.

I am looking forward to that and to sundresses. Hope you get out of your funk today. Music always helps.

Yummy NOLA music in honor of Mardi Gras





More V-Day Music

I’ve recently discovered Playlist.com and I really love it. I’m still trying to discover the catch. But…I haven’t yet. It’s really cool, a lot like the old imeem (may it rest). Anyway, I currently dig the Valentines day playlists! So fun!

Valentines

I’ve always loved V-day because it’s my 1/2 birthday! This year I’m excited to be celebrating with my adorable beau but I am very sad to be missing my first Mardi Gras in a couple of years.
