Sunday Best

"Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out.....strut down the street and have your picture took...."

Whether this song makes you think of Hello Dolly (like me)

I am IN Love!

I have been SEARCHING....seriously I have been SEARCHING for weeks for the perfect brown pair of boots. I have looked everywhere. No really! Everywhere. And I keep coming back to these. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them. But.....they are PRICEY....not just a little "should I" pricey but "sell all your other shoes on Ebay" pricey. OUCH! I so LOVE them. What do I do??? The cheapest I have seen them is $348. YOWZA! Right? But realistically how can you not? I LOVE the way the leather looks worn in already. I LOVE the extra piece of leather over the front. I LOVE how it V's at the calf. I LOVE the heel height. I think they are SO beautiful!!!! Perfect really!

Is it Just ME???

I love to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I dont know why its so intriguing to watch ALL THE DRAMA! But it is SO captivating to me to see how crazy these girls act. And the whole idea of it all. He is thrown into all these relationships and someone....actually several someones get hurt. BAD! Its really sad to watch. So why do I continue to watch it??? Who knows! But I LOVE IT! So here is what I have been freaking about this whole time. This girl Emily. She is THE sweetest girl on the show in my opinion. As a matter of fact one of the girls on the show commented last week "I want to hate her...BUT how can you hate a perfect little barbie doll with the heart of Mother Theresa" haha! So true!
She is absolutley beautiful with a rockin body but the thing Im tripping over is she looks IDENTICAL to... THIS GIRL! Is it just me OR does Emily look EXACTLY like Hugh Heffners favorite girl?

Well....What do you think???

Pink

Pink...not the color...even though this looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING :) especially this late at night. Mmmmm! But this one! Pink has never been one of my favorite artists but at the same time I have always liked her. Yet, I have never bought any of her songs bc they are played PLENTY on the radio. But, tonight my neighbor told me to watch a YouTube video of one of her latest songs. And I LOVE IT! The song is about her breakup with her Ex. (pictured below) Anyway they were together for 6 years and finally called it quits. Then she wrote this song and they got back together. Her story is: she was selfish for the 6 years they were together and she was always trying to change him. So writing this song was really humbling for her and made her want him back. Super sweet song! (all my facts are from watching OPRAH btw. haha!)I just had to post this picture bc I think it is SO adoreable!!! LOVE IT! Arent kissing pictures the cutest! Love her sunglasses, LOVE her haircut, Love his jawbone. So sweet :)



Back to the song. Its called "I Dont Believe You". Its a chill song....totally different than her other music. And my favorite part is the chorus. Just listen to it! I hope you LOVE it as much as I do. ENJOY!!!

Pink - I Don't Believe You Live on Oprah

(If you want to skip over the Oprah interview skip to 2:48 and thats when she will perform the song.)

I found it! I mean them :)

My latest craze has been wide hip belts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these 3. This one is from Free People. LOVE IT! This one is Anthropologie. Ahhhhhh....sigh....perfect right!
I only found the image of this one while I was googling :) Not sure where its from or how much. But I SO want it! LOL. So cute and flirty. LOVE it!
My dillema: Anytime I want something made out of leather my husband gives me a hard time if I buy it BC he owns a business where he makes leather products. However anyone who knows the saying "If your married to a plummer you have leaky faucets" well if your married to a man who works with leather...I am the last thing on his list of custom pieces. So whats a girl supposed to do? Buy it and risk him wanting to take it apart so he can make one too OR just wait it out till he will make me a PIMP custom belt that will be his newest, hottest item and everyone will want one?
