The Cozy

Watching Kell on Earth and the main focus is on the DKNY Cozy sweater campaign and I want one now. Did you guys like them? I would like the Kelly Green one, but all the colors are pretty amazing. Since it is spring, I am trying to really buy some pastels and I am little obsessed with the color yellow. I did get a cute sweater at Jcrew the other day, a yellow cashmere cropped sweater and some cute tanks. JCrew had amazing tanks for spring. I wanted tons... but tried to resist.

Do you have anything that you buy that makes you think spring?

Celtics and Jordan Knight

Last night, my friend and I went to the Celtics and ended up in the Premium Bar having drinks at the bar and all of a sudden Jordan Knight walked in. No crazy story about how I spoke to him or anything, but we made eye contact and all I could think about is when I left school early in the 4th grade to get home and watch NKOTB on Oprah. Being 8 I thought I would die if I met him and how things actually happen when you see this person face to face. I didn't die or actually really care... it was just a moment of OMG Jordan Knight is standing right by me at the bar. Even the bartender looked at me like OMFG...
My thoughts from seeing him so close... He is super cute, but shorter than I thought and sooooooo skinny. Seriously, what do these guys to do to stay so skinny??? Mananeroxia!

Seriously???

Relationships. Yuck. Is it me? I am not sure why every person I have dated in the last few years suck all the life from me.

A few weeks ago CD and I had a huge fight. Bad things were said. Things that hurt and I, to be very honest, said things nasty things too (so I am not an innocent party). For months things have been bad, but not really wanting to be single again, I let things go. I have tried to make my point about what bothers me, but he never gets it. He turns it around to be about him and what his needs are and if I was meeting those needs, then he would be there for me more. See what I mean? If you saw us on the street, you would think we were strangers. We aren't a lovey couple. There is no spark. Was there ever? Maybe... I can't remember anymore. It gets better... So since the fight, we haven't discussed what was going to happen, just kind of let it go until we were both calm enough to discuss it... like adults, I thought. CD and I went to the Bruins last night and apparently this was the time for him to feel the need to discuss things. Shocker... cause if I knew this I would not have gone. Actually, it started at the bar that I met him after work in so we could cab over together. Which preceded to continue in the cab and at the game. Fun, right? I know you are jealous. The kicker was for me that he started the conversation totally wrong, so all I could hear the whole time was negativity.
He said "loved". Past tense. I, of course, caught that. So now, all I hear is that... I tried to still have a good time. I am not a pouter and his friends were there too, so I didn't want anyone to know something was wrong, but I was very upset on the inside. I also heard that he is so consumed with everything else in his life there is no room for me. That hurts too, but it is ok. I am fine. I am ok... I think sometimes, it just helps to know where you stand. To be honest, I loved him too (past tense), but I am not a settler.... this is probably why I am 33 and single. But seriously, enough of the BS already. As of now, I am not sure where things stand, but even though I didn't think this conversation was fair, it happened and we can move on. And that makes me feel like a 200lb weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

The Script

I have been kind of non stop on Pandora listening to The Script. They kind of remind of Matchbox20 back when they were more edgy (not this song so much). Anyway, I finally googled to see a live performance and found their music video...and was pleasantly surprised. Look at him. Wow.

Shoe Sale... Lord & Taylor

Shop Now.

Spring... time for new shoes, so I was excited to see this little reminder in my email.

How do they get the cute little pup to not eat the shoe... Ruby would have this gonzo in two seconds.

This past weekend, my girlfriend came into town to visit. After a nice dinner at Toro and drinks we got back home, she changed out of her brand new see by chloe dress and left it in my room with the rest of her stuff and somewhere between, 1:30am and 8am Ruby ate the lace top off the dress. How embarrassing and awful. I felt so bad cause Ruby hasn't really been like that in months and it was never clothes, just shoes. Ugh - I am such a bad host!

Hello Friday

I am playing hookey today. I picked a good day to do so since it is going to be warm out. I am currently watching Regis and Kelly, and wondering how Kelly is that skinny. Every time I see her, I want her hair, clothes and feel like I need to hit the gym more.

I am heading up to Marblehead this afternoon to actually get my hair done, I am trying to go darker blonde to lessen the need for foils every three weeks, and I have gone almost 2.5 months due to some amazing low lights. It is so much more economical, but since now the sun is out and I am having spring fever, I feel the need to be blonder, but I am not going to do it!

We went to the Bruins game last night and they lost, but it was a fun way to start a long weekend... Hope everyone is going to enjoy their weekend.

Are you dating someone? If so where did you meet him? And if not what are 3 things you are looking for. 3 questions in one...kind of. ha.

I am. Funny, but I met him years ago, while I was waiting for a co-worker to arrive at a bar. We were chatting -- small talk -- but then when my co-worker showed up and I just kind of forgot about him. I ran into him again, years later, while my friend Nora and I were getting drinks before a tax free holiday shopping adventure. I didn't really remember him and really wanted nothing to do with him, but he kind of stuck around and by the end of the day we were all having a good time, so we went out again, again and again.

I still have things I looking for, relationship or not...So my top 3 qualities that I like and look for are: Wit (love a quick thinker), guys with a backbone (I am tough) and someone that is happy & confident with themselves...(you can tell the difference).

I would love to know what your fav restaurant or bar is in Boston! I am always looking for new places to try & will also be in Boston on Saturday :)

I have tons... I will try and break it down. I tend to stay in my neighborhood a lot, but for dinner & drinks, I like Stella, Post 390, Beehive, Market at the W and Masa. For a really nice dinner I love Moo. Pre-drinks: Jerne at the Ritz. For a night out (less eating more drinking): Clink, Harvard Gardens, Stephanies on Newbury and the Seven's (Seven's is also my favorite divey kind of bar). Ok, I just realized I am a hotel bar lover since Clink, Moo, Jerne and Market are all located within a hotel.

What is your favorite store to shop at?

I am a JCrew and Club Monaco addict for basics, but Neiman's has my heart.

Whatcha Want? Whatcha Need?

I am having a hard time thinking about something to blog about lately, so I open it up to you....

5 questions or as many come in....(under 25... I am kidding cause I would be thoroughly surprised (read: excited) to get that many...
BTW, It doesn't have to be about me, can be about anything at all (fashion, relationship, events and/or advice). I am open to answer questions about me too.... although, I am not sure how interesting that is?!?

High Society

Yay. All the bad TV is coming back in which means I am falling in love with my DVR, all over again. Ahhh.. True Love.

After 90 mins of ANTM (I can't believe I watched it again), a little flash of something truly trashlicious popped up and just like that, I was hooked.

Please don't judge.
Did you watch it too?

It is horrific, but since I always read about Tinsley in Page Six - I already felt like I was in the know.

Thoughts:
What is up with her mom's eyebrows? Those babies are drawn in. She is NYC and rich. Why doesn't she call Anastasia?
Also, why doesn't her ex Topper want to be on the show (he is that big blurry guy with the navy blazer). You can find his pic easily "Topper Mortimer". Obviously, that was happier times.
That French/Greek/Whatever Prince Guy, I don't blame Tinsley... Did you see him?
The Trust Fund Gay Boy with the bow tie. Seriously? He is awful. I hope he is amping that up for TV. BTW, That girl something Kirby is literally the exact same as the gay bow tie guy. Exactly. Brats.
I have maybe,accidentally, gotten some liquor in my eye before too, but I don't think I have EVER EVER needed an ambulance before for it.
Crying/Sobbing on your bed, doesn't look so good on TV, but I did love the green ensemble, especially the Kelly Green Converse. Where can I get those?

10th Picture - Tagging

My lovely blog friend, MCW @ Saving The Best for Last tagged me in a photo tag game. Rules are: Open your 1st Photo Folder, Scroll to the 10th photo and Post the photo (no cheating) and the story behind it. Tag 5 or more people.
First Folder is called 1st KB (as in our first annual KB trip) and then pic, thank god, was a funny (to me) and appropriate to post, because some of them would have been rather embarrassing. So here it is...

Each year, a few girls and I go on our annual Key Biscayne trip and this was the first one. Note, most of us were new friends, but by the 2nd day, this day, you would have thought we were friends for years... We had a LBD night and went out to dinner which was a lot of drinking, less eating and somewhere along the way we ended up at the Delano in South Beach. Upon arrival, we rush to the bar to order drinks and I thought a Bellini sounded like a good choice... I was just chit chatting with the bartender about who knows and then ordered my drink. He brings it to me, a basic 3 sip Bellini, and says "$23". I stood there dumb for a second and said "$23 for that?" He smiles. I don't... but what I am going to do, so I pay it. I finally was like, "You should put a warning on the drink menu for those after 1am!!"

So here is the picture of me, my $23 bellini and Nora contemplating the purchase.

I am such a rule breaker, so I am going to tag all of you. Do it and send me a note, so I can read your story and see your pic.

BEPs and JM

My friend, KB and I were kind of dying to go to Black Eyed Peas last Friday (we had been trying to figure out tix for months, but didn't want to pay $150 for nosebleeds), and by some miracle -- a great co-worker on her part on the day of the show got us 8th row/free tickets with a little time with the Peas before. It was a super quick visit, but everyone seemed pretty cool. The concert was amazing! I haven't had a night like that in a long time. It took me two days to recover. I am covered with bruises from dancing. I don't know how?

John Mayer was a lot of fun too... He doesn't ever disappoint, oh and he kept his "philosophizing"to a minimum, so it was much more music -- less chatting. The way we all like it. He played, Why Georgia too, so maybe he read my blog before??

Heids and I enjoying our 2nd JM concert, although you can't see him cause it is too dark behind us. I was actually really bummed cause I tried to take a lot of pics and none of them really came out.
