Jim Carrey AND penguins?!!!!

Basically this movie was MADE for me. Oh how I looooove penguins.

I heart Rachel Zoe

Besides her being just fabulous in every way, she is now possibly the most fabulously glamorous pregnant lady of all time.

Rachel Zoe Won’t Style Snooki For Any Amount Of Money

 After her first job as a fashion assistant in New York at the now-defunct YM magazine (her salary: $18,000), Zoe went freelance at 25 and began styling for the likes of Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys from a one-bedroom West Village apartment. “I worked 20-something hours a day, seven days a week,” Zoe says. “I was completely obsessed with fashion and spent all my money flying to Paris to go to couture because that was the dream. I crashed shows, stood in line for Marc Jacobs.”

Zoe, an admitted hippie who walked down the aisle to the Grateful Dead’s “Truckin’,” swears she’s never touched a drug in her life. As for the 30 Dead shows she attended (compared with Berman’s 91), she was no doubt the only girl at Washington’s RFK Stadium wearing heeled wedges under her kaftan — and under the influence of nothing more than a wine cooler. 

tyling celebrities and a few private clients (says Zoe, “Sometimes princesses will fly in for three days from Dubai or Russia or London — that’s always fun”) remains RZI’s bread and butter, but she’s not looking to expand the roster anytime soon. “That’s not to say I wouldn’t take on new clients,” Zoe says, “if I was really excited about someone and if it was the right fit.” And if that person were, say, Snooki waving a $10,000 fee? “I don’t have time,” coos Zoe, who says she’s never seen an episode of Jersey Shore. “No really, because she’s so out there right now, that’s like a full-time job. It’s nothing against Snooki.”

Cooking for Geeks: Real Science, Great Hacks, and Good Food

More than just a cookbook, Cooking for Geeks applies your curiosity to discovery, inspiration, and invention in the kitchen. Why is medium-rare steak so popular? Why do we bake some things at 350° F/175° C and others at 375° F/190° C? And how quickly does a pizza cook if we overclock an oven to 1,000° F/540° C? Author and cooking geek Jeff Potter provides the answers and offers a unique take on recipes — from the sweet (a "mean" chocolate chip cookie) to the savory (duck confit sugo).
This book is an excellent and intriguing resource for anyone who wants to experiment with cooking, even if you don't consider yourself a geek.

Christmas List

My mother has been asking me for the last couple of weeks what I want for Christmas. Funny how the older we get, the more "practical" the gifts I ask for have become. Well, maybe not ALL of the gifts I ask for are practical....we all remember the tiger blanket/snuggie/booty buddy from urbanoutfitters.....

But I do have a list of items I would LOVE but I feel bad for asking for. Is that weird? Or maybe it's just me...
Either way, here's a list of some of my favs for this year:


Kate Spade Lever Back Earrings in red/ruby (but I'd take the emerald or black!)

Sony - Internet Connectable/Wi-Fi Ready Blu-ray Disc Player

 

Michael Kors Women's Leather Zip Front Motocross Jacket

Tickets to the BCS Orange Bowl in Miami or the Chick-fil-A Bowl Game (depending on which one FSU goes to, preferably the orange bowl- BCS baby!!!)

I do love my list thus far :)

I miss....

My favorite pair of red sunglasses. They were truly my favorite pair of sunglasses I have ever owned, and trust me, I have owned A LOT of sunglasses.

le sigh.

I will find another adequate enough pair to replace them, but until then....

Memories, like the corners of my mind.......Misty colored memories, of the way we weeeeeere!

Not Gonna Lie...

But I REALLY want this!

Tiger Booty Buddy

My brain just exploded with happiness!

Shipyard Brewery Company just came out with a NEW PUMPKIN ale!

Must. Find.
Must. Drink.

Flawless

Ok, I'll admit it. While in high school I watched Laguna Beach. Sad, but true. Did I watch The Hills afterward? Hrmmmm, sometimes if it was on n the sorority house or my sister was watching it, but other than that, nah. One thing that I still follow and love? Lauren Conrad. I think this girl is FLAWLESS. If I could have ANYONE's closet, it would be hers. There is practically nothing that I wouldn't wear of hers.....that is if I could wear it. She after all probably only weighs 110 soaking wet.

I mean, look...

And don't even get me started on her GORGEOUS hair.
Ugh.
Lauren, can I live in your closet? PLEASE?!

Well, Dazzle me happy!

Today is a wonderours day, despite me having caught the sore throat/ cold from hell.

Today I got my first  order from ShoeDazzle in! I know, I know - Didn't I just write a blog about budgeting and being better with money? Well, if you know me, then you know that shoes are a great love of my life and that if i did NOT include a shoe budget for myself, would have been a crime I tell you, haha. In reality, as part of my plan to help me stick to my budget every month I signed up for Shoe Dazzle, this way I only buy one pair of shoes- at most- and keep my "shopping" budget under control. Can't shake a stick at a deal where everything being $39 bucks or under!

The Anticipation.....

Almost there!

Fabulous!!!

And fit like a glove!

Please ignore the funky angles of the photos of the shoes on my feet. very hard to get a good one without a big mirror laying around.

Each month when I get my new shoes from shoe dazzle I'll be sure to share. I'm in love!

That whole living on a "budget" thing

With every paycheck I get I am trying to become more thrifty, or budget controlled, one might say. The older I get, the more money I seem I have to spend. Pay my own rent? Yup. Pay for my own utilities? Yup. Student loans, unfortunately....yup. Never mind the the other important incidentals of life. No need to list them, we all know them.

So what did I decide to do? Well, at first it was creating the habit of constantly checking my bank account and making sure my work and home calenders were in sync with when bills, loans, and other items were due. I always immediately deduct money from my paycheck and do not even slightly indulge myself with the notion of, "Yay, money! Spend!". It was still easy to spend though. Isn't it always? But now I'm more motivated than ever to really get myself in check!

My friend suggested I start using Mint.com as my free online budget checker/follower/thing that shames me into submission.

This. Is. Awesome.

It works so well for what I need it for and it lets me arrange it very very specifically to my needs. Plus being able to load my bank information, credit cards, investments, and student loans all onto one page makes life so very much easier. I whole heartedly recommend everyone use something like this.

So, who's with me?

Friday!

The latest song I cannot seem to get out of my head lately...

MMMMM, fall tastes delicious!

If you know me, then you know I LOVE pumpkin spiced beer. No, seriously- I LOVE almost any kind of pumpkin type beer. I love it so much that when I saw the first shipment of Shipyard Pumpkinhead Beer in the store I literally jumped up and down and squealed like a 5 year old at Christmas. I'm a weirdo, I know this.

Besides the actual deliciousness of the beer, I also love all that comes along with it. Simply- the first sign of fall. This means cooler weather, football, bon fires, and general shenanigans. I mean, who doesn't love some good ole shenanigans once and awhile?

So in honor of my love and the beginning of the beer season....er....fall season, here's a list of my favorite
"pumpkin" spiced beers.


Shipyard Brewing Co. Pumpkinhead

Truly my favorite of all pumpkin beers. Smooth, delicious and it only being available in the fall makes it number one on my list, and plenty of other people's lists as well.

Magic hat #9 "Hex Ourtoberfest"

Brand new to the scene and making a huge headway is Magic Hat's latest and greatest. Went to a "launch" party for it last night and was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. Was I doubtful I wouldn't? No. I love all magic hat beers, but for it being a first year brew and to be so high on my list, yes, that was surprising.

Sam Adam's Octoberfest

I call this the "everyman" pumpkin beer. It's a great first time pumpkin beer drinker beer, and I recommend it to all who have never had a pumpkin beer and are wary of jumping to a new kind of beer.


Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

This one I honestly can't decide what to say about. Do I think it's good enough to drink? Most definitely. Would I want to have more than one at a time? probably not. It's good, but not one I would ever want to drink "a lot" of. It has a high alcohol content and can have a bite, but still a good beer.

Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale

I dub this one the "poor man's" beer. it's a light weight in the pumpkin arena and will ONLY drink it if there are no other alternatives and I HAVE to have a pumpkin beer. It's alright, and that's all say about that.



There are many many other pumpkin ales out there, but these are the ones I love and have readily availbale to me whenever I want them. So enjoy all! have a pumpkin beer and think of me!

CHEERS!

Very nice

In true girly fashion, myself and two of my girls watched the Emmy's on TV last night and loved and hated the winners/losers and what they were wearing. I am such a evening gown junkie. Not that I ever wear them, lol -  I just love admiring them. Some of my favorite things from the awards last night:

greatest celeb couple

Tallahassee native represent!

one of the most beautiful women in the world

and I DIE for this dress, even though it would look horrible on me!
