As a super fan since age 16 I naturally pre-booked 4 tickets for the midnight showing tomorrow night. That was the easy part...now what to wear???

It seems the most in demand outfit from the preview is the "J'Adore Dior" tee/purple silk skirt combo.
You can get a very similar look for less than $100.00 to wear to the movie or just to get Carried away with this weekend ;)

Life is a Mystery...Me a Minister?




When two of my best friends got engaged and asked me to officiate their wedding ceremony I was ecstatic...and a little nervous. But I did what I always do in nerve-wracking situations: ask myself the inevitable: WWMD?

The verdict: she would need it to be totes legit! So I went to the best rated minister ordination site I could find:
Open-Ministry.org, where not only can you get ordained for free, but can order complete ceremony documents and wedding kits.

I'm super excited for my bestie's wedding this Fall and highly recommend Open Ministry if you or someone you know wants to perform a ceremony!!


Now for what to wear....if any of you come across a sexy, yet tasteful and serious priest inspired ensemble send it my way ;)

my love (of shoes) is a REVOLVER




For those of you who know me personally you probs know about my love hate relationship with my gun heeled pumps.
On the upside, they are super sexy and definitely an attention grabber. They also comfort me when I have fleeting thoughts of zombie attacks (as pictured). On the otherhand they are not for a frequent flying femme! I learned this when I was rudely pulled out of a security line at O' Hare, taken to an american airlines security room, photographed (and told that it was 'ok because my eyes would be blacked out' Helllooo i at least want the free publicity...sheesh), and then had my fav shoes confiscated and checked!

I still love them for homefield events of course.

Today, when I was googling the brand to refer to a friend of mine I learned that Shiekh Shoes now sells them online in gold and silver!!!!!!! I'm ordering one of each naturally!!!

Sweet Date Spot! Vegan Chocolate- who knew?



I was recently looking for a cute wine and appetizer spot to take my mom and godmother before our dinner reservation. Anne and I love Cocoa V for their yummy dark chocolates and strange (but amazing) flavour combinations (ie chocolate covered edimame) They also offer all organic, free trade and vegan chocolates.

But we had never sat in their lounge area before. We decided to try it out and absolutely loved the adorable interior, great wine list and delicious chocolate plates. The chocolate plates are def the star of the menu! Served cheeseplate style on a cutting board with knives for sharing, the plates are thoughtfully prepared in categories:
-5 piece of chocolates of either Pure, Nut, Crunchy, Fruity or Exotic Fruit selections, $13.00/plate
( You can also create your own combination of 5 chocolates.)

We had a great time and I totes recommend Cocoa V as an adorable before or after dinner drink spot.

Hello Kitty Sparkling "Sweet Pink" (Half Size) - This semi-sweet sparkler has floral notes with almond reminiscience

2008 Hello Kitty Angel White - a fresh, very "blanc" white wine made entirely from Pinot Noir free run juice.

2006 Hello Kitty Devil Red - Garnet red with brickish highlights, this is a classically rendered Pinot Noir that presents a seductive bouquet of wild flowers and forest aromas.
