Kissable Kouture

All those who live in cold climates should be having the same feelings as me:
Despising the plethora of snow confining the ground and the freezing temperatures!!
I would prefer sunshine and at least over freezing temperatures (with no WIND).




This is more like it! I cannot change the weather to my liking but....I can change my location! Who's with me? Well funny we should mention cruises. 3 of my coworkers are on cruise ships as we speak to warm climates of Australia, Caribbean and more Caribbean! I am stuck in Northern Virginia with inches and inches of snow. 

So my mind is always thinking about something. Usualy how to afford those shoes I would kill for! But when I am done thinking about material obsessions, I tend to think about my love. His birthday is coming up in the next couple days and he is a chocoholic....We were meant to be.... : )  Since its his birthday he can splurge a little and gain ten pounds. And how can he feel bad eating so many calories when the love of his life made them for him? Well, he cant. Ironclad plan to demolish his diet! A little dramatic? Thats just my current mood.

Anyways...On to the yummy delights I have in mind for him. Or me.

These are from Edible Arrangements and I know he would laugh at them but I think they are sweet! I was thinking of sending them to his house with just like this (my DIY project) with a bow around the box and cute little card. Instead of the layout above, I was thinking only one side with the strawberries. Any ideas? This arrangement runs for $70 plus $12 for shipping! They must be crazy! If I do this project I'll let you know how much I spent compared to their price. As well as how to do it yourself! So excited!


Cake time! He loves ice cream cake. And did I mention chocolate? So I am planning on getting him the Double Chocolate Indulgence Ice Cream Cake from Baskin Robbins. Hopefully it is as yummy as it sounds. "This captivating ice cream cake is layered with premium Chocolate ice cream and indulgent devil’s food cake then covered in rich chocolate frosting. Topped off with fudge rosettes, fine European Chocolates and a caramel drizzle, it’s the ultimate rich and creamy chocolate indulgence."

I did have an idea to make my own ice cream cake, but I'm not that talented!




Google is odd. Apparently balloons means hot air balloons! Funny considering my boyfriend is a pilot! Not of balloons but airplanes! If I had my pick, it would be balloons. One day I hope to take a flight in it. The both of us. It would be cute and romantic and he'd enjoy because it deals with aviation.




Instead of maps it would be perfect if it were wrapped with Sectional or Terminal Charts. Cute! But I wont do that. Too easy... Still not sure what to get him. Concert tickets. Technology. Getaway Vacation. Couple Time. ; ) Open to suggestions from anyone! Hope everyone is having a good week! It's halfway over for those who dread trudging into work. (but grateful for having one) Comment below!

Sleep is important for the body. At least this is my way of assuring myself that spending $500 dollars on a down comforter is reasonable. This is how I rationalize with everything I buy. To all you sales employees: I am your best shopper! I really do beleive when I find a deal buy one item get the next half off, that I AM saving. Others would argue that I'm really just wasting my money because I didn't 'need' the first item and defianetly not the second....But I'd rather live freely and go with the flow. Or the "so called" sales that call my name as I wonder through the money-saving (blowing) mall. Well since I have already invested in a down comforter a few months ago, it is now time for a much needed upgrade on the sheets. I cant have an outstanding comforter and a childish paisely flannel looking sheets. It just doesn't combine to make the perfect sleep combination.

As I was the surfing through many websites this evening, I stubbled across some Hotel Collection Sheets that have my name written all over it. 600 Thread Count, Egyptian Cotten Deep Pocket Sheets. There is a God!

It's a sad sad time right now. Haiti is in everyone's prayers. I really hope that we can provide as much food and security as possible. With the help of everyone, that could be possible.

I was reading an article today about tourism in Haiti as we speak. They are docking ships in Haiti's beaches and providing them with food and water but they tourists are still having fun and enjoying the weather not too many miles away from where a catastrophic event occurred. I agree that it is nice of  Royal Caribbean to keep providing them with money from tourism and providing food and supplies, however, this is a time for mourning and grieving and I just would not feel comfortable at port on Haiti's beach swimming while children and adults are stranded looking for food. What are your comments? Whoever you are that's reading this. : ) Don't be shy.

If you look to your left on the blog there is a button on how YOU can help Haiti. I have already donated money to them. Now I am seeking information on how I could volunteer. There was another article I was reading about all the homeless children without any parents. Just makes me so sad. Wish I could help. : (

Those affected in the Haiti Earthquake are in my prayers.

I know what you are thinking....How do you wear this and look hot? I know horizontal stripes are known for having a bad reputation. But I can show you how to make a stripe tee look good casual and sexy! I rummaged through my closet today and found two striped shirts that I will use. I dont remember the last time I've had these on. Stripes are not my favorite. But, with the perfect combinations and accesories I could make it work wonders!

The first look is my casual but office classic look. I paired a long sleeve black and white sailor tee with a gray A-line skirt. A casual tan jacket, brown pumps, and jewelry make this a girly yet casual look.
