Golden Globes Best Dressed Edition

Hey there! So it's definitley been a bit since I've posted. I have had so much going on you wouldn't even believe. I could use a minute to breathe, but that just isn't going to happen anytime soon. I know I promised a holiday recap, and I promise I will do that soon, even if it is a month over due. I also have an announcement to make! Anywho...onto the post.

As everyone knows, the Golden Globes were this past Sunday. Normally, I'm all about awards season and can't wait to see all the red carpet fashions and watch in anticipation of who's going to win what. Unfortunately, this year I just wasn't into it. I mean, the Golden Globes bored me to death last year, so this year I skipped it. I was feeling a bit under the weather as well, but I definitely did not dismiss the red carpet fashions this year. Here are my top 5 Best Dressed accoring to me :-D

            
Julie Bowen in Reem Acra - sweet and feminine

Emma Stone in Lanvin

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang - You know I LOVE navy!


Jessica Alba in Gucci

And my #1 Red Carpet look is....

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture - The headband was a GREAT addition to her look

Well, that's all for now! I hope to make some time to do those promised posts. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have a little more time. Thanks for reading! Until next time!

2012 has arrived!

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! I can't believe the first week of 2012 has come and gone. I've been meaning to post, but coming back from a holiday, it's so hard to get back in the groove of things, ya know? I've been really busy/exhausted with work, but fear not, I plan on doing a holiday recap post with lots of photos from Christmas/New Years. To sum up my New Years, since I know you're dying to know ;-) We left last Saturday for Harrah's Casino. Let me tell ya, we were the youngest people there! The average age was 70 and the attire was jeans, sweatshirts, and fanny packs. Needless to say, we were also the most overdressed people there. That's okay! My motto is "I'd rather be overdressed than underdressed". Didn't do any gambling, but we had a great meal at Paula Deen's kitchen. The whole experience was just "okay" meaning, I won't be back, but all in all, it was a great time being surrounded by some of my best friends.

 
As far as New Years resolutions go, I don't usually make them. I don't believe in it. I did think about it though and what I came up with is this:

 
  • Floss more
  • Take more vitamins
  • Get rid of clutter/Get organized
  • Being happy with myself/Be more confident(a constant struggle for me)
  • Find the man of my dreams haha (not 100% serious, but a boyfriend would be nice)
  • Find a new job/Start my career


 
And if you know me, then you know that my top priority every single day is finding a new job/career. I am dead set on becoming a Buyer, but getting there has been quite a slow process. So slow, that I've not even made a dent in the goals I've set for myself. I've been out of school for 2 years and I'm in my mid 20's. I feel it's time to buckle down and get started on my career. So hopefully 2012 is going to come with some new and great opportunities. I'm just going to trust that God will lead me to where I need to be.

 
Hope everyone had a great New Years and first week of 2012. I wish you all well with the new year!

 
xoxo,
