Gladiator Booties

Sunday, June 21, 2009

The trend of the gladiator sandals have been in full force for a while, but now the open-toe gladiator ankle booties are making more and more appearances. And I am definitely digging this look:


CRAVE:
1. Jimmy Choo - Glenys Elaphe Snakeskin Sandals ($1,295.00)

2.
Burberry - Strappy Gladiator Sandal ($1,195.00)

3. Givenchy - Gladiator Bootie ($995.00)

SAVE:
4. Steve Madden - MADALYNN ($109.95)

5. Bebe - Gaby Leather Gladiator Sandal ($189.00)



Celebs working this look:





Pick up a pair of these sexy stompers for summer!


These aren't gladiator sandals, but these Cherie sandals that I just ordered from shoedazzle are amazing. I love the nude color for summer. Nude colored shoes are also great because they blend in with your skin tone and help lengthen the look of your legs!

Daddy's Little Girls

Friday, June 19, 2009

I'm such a sucker for dads with little daughters. I think it's so precious and cute to look at them together. So in honor of Father's Day this weekend, here are some adorable pictures of famous dads and their daughters:

Tom Cruise & Suri:


Brad Pitt & Shiloh:


Hugh Jackman & Ava:


Ben Affleck & Violet:


Will Smith & Willow:


Johnny Depp & Lily-Rose:


President Obama & Sasha, Malia:



I can't wait to have a daughter myself and see her with her daddy/my husband. I know it will make my heart melt. But of course that won't be for at least another few years!

Have a great weekend and Father's Day everyone!

***I also did Day 2 of the 30DS. I felt more sore on day 2 than I did on day 1. I think it was because my muscles were so sore from day 1 that it was making them more sore doing all the moves on the second day. I was also sweating like crazy and huffing and puffing (sexy, I know), but this is a good thing because I know that it's working! I hope the soreness goes away the more days I do it. More updates to come!

Feeling Sore...The good kind

I just received the 30 Day Shred DVD that I ordered thanks to the tip from Kristin. I've only done it for one day so far, but all I can say is WOW! I totally got my butt kicked. The DVD is a series of 20 minute workouts of 3 levels. I of course started at Level 1 thinking it wouldn't be too bad, but boy was I wrong!!! All of my 110 pounds was totally put to the test, and now I'm crazy sore. I'm sore in places I didn't even know could be sore! This is pretty much how I'm feeling right now:


Well, at least I know that it's working. I just hope I can keep this up! Fit body, here I come!!!

I Miss You, sniff sniff

Monday, June 15, 2009

These are some of my favorite shows that I really miss.....

Sex and the City


I can't wait for the second movie. I need my dose of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda. I wonder if we'll get to see Carrie and Big juniors running around.

Friends


Will there or won't there be a movie? I want to see Ross and Rachel officially get married!

How I Met Your Mother

I can't wait for Season 5! Do we finally get to meet the mother with the mysterious yellow umbrella?

Gossip Girl

My guilty pleasure. Will Chuck and Blair finally stay together or will Chuck mess up...AGAIN?

Project Runway

I am so excited for the new season to start this summer. It's going to be weird watching it on Lifetime though and not on Bravo.

Grey's Anatomy (the earlier seasons)

There's only so much Meredith and McDreamy drama I can take.

Will & Grace

I miss you Jack, where are you?

Shower Time!

Saturday, June 13, 2009


How long do you guys take to shower? I usually take 20-25 minutes, but I guess that's considered a long time. I know a lot of people just jump in the shower, do their business, and jump out ASAP in like 5-10 minutes, but I love to take my time in the shower and really relax and feel the water. I wish I had one of those showers that have those multiple shower heads like these:


It would be awesome to feel the water from all angles and not just on my head. I want that for my next house!
