The Long Awaited Collection: Jason Wu for Target

Here is the long awaited and much coveted Jason Wu for Target Collection. Isn’t it awesome?!? As demonstrated through the previous collaborations of Target with Missoni, Rodarte, and Zac Posen, we are in for a real treat! The price tag may be that of Target (all items $59.99 or less) yet the quality and style should insure the longevity comparable to any designer piece. I’m thinking I could incorporate these items into my wardrobe for seasons to come. I’m eyeing the cat scarf, the blue floral scarf, the the blue floral shoulder bag, and trench. What will your indulgence be?

(don’t miss the event: February 5)

Welcoming the New Year!

The holidays are over. The presents have been unwrapped. The tree has been discarded. The thank you notes (hopefully) have been sent. Yet the only sign of the holiday season sits nowhere other than on our hips and thighs, and no, I’m not talking about a meal from El Pollo Loco.

My husband Dmitry and I finally took our honeymoon on the beautiful ship of Princess Cruises. The service, the entertainment, the making and unmaking of the bed 3 times a day, outside movie theater, and the constant availability of unbelievable creations posing as treats was truly amazing. We dined nightly while enjoying a scrumptious 3 (or sometimes 7) course meal, which was always, and I mean always followed by some incredible dessert. Now I’m not saying this wasn’t enjoyable, but I will admit that I do not, under any circumstances eat a soufflé on a daily basis.
You can imagine my “surprise” when I hit the scale upon our return. Yawza!

Both thankfully and ironically, the reading material during my two week cruise was Jillian Michael’s Master Your Metabolism ! A book that does a hell of a job presenting the reader with the foods that actually exist outside of the Jack in the Box drive through. To add to the matter, I came across Bon Appetit’s Food Lovers Cleanse. The 14 day meal plan includes both recipes and shopping lists to create some very appetizing breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and desserts. Can you believe this is a cleanse?!?

Ice Princesses

In my much loved blog reading activity, I came across these beautiful images. The simplicity, pale colors, and delicate essence are simply divine.

I’m not sure where exactly I saved it from, but I’d like to give credit where it’s due. If I got them from your blog, please let me know and I’ll add the link.

On another note, last night hubby and I saw the film “Bad Teacher” and I must say wow! As a teacher, I don’t think I could legally admit to having found this film spectacular, yet I absolutely did! Cameron Diaz did an awesome job portraying a teacher at her worst whose only concern is marrying rich and getting her much desired implants. Yet what she is willing to do to get the status of rich bimbo is absolutely electrifying. I wish I could play movies every day of the week, sleep at my desk, and write “stupid”, “stupider”, and “what the f*** is this?” on students’ assignments! or maybe not, but the movie s totally worth seeing.

Raaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr

I absolutely love these boots. The army green gives them that little something that has crazy glued my eyes to the picture. The thing is that the shoe collection, being what it is, doesn’t leave much room for the addition of extra pairs. But a girl’s gotta walk, right? What do you all think about these beauties?
