Charm & Whimsy

Have you ever wanted to rush off and throw a party so badly in your life? I've been totally possessed by this over-the-top charming and utterly whimsical table setting. The color palette is killing me with its awesomeness and that darling baby horse is basically begging me to come play. I'm thinking I would serve mini cupcakes and rose-infused cocktails! What about you?

Golden Girl or Golden Goddess?

Have you ever sported a monokini? I usually go for an eensy teensy, teeny weeny bikini, but I do have one, hot hot pink might I add, cut out monokini that I snagged from American Apparel. I wore it with a criminally large golden yellow hat and even larger sunnies. I didn't feel "golden girl" at all (sorry, Blanche) actually more like golden goddess! So darlings, have you? Would you rock the monokini?

Are you Jenna or Jo?

What do you see when you look in the Cocktail Cart Cache- romantically glam or perfectly classic? An intoxicating elderflower cocktail? A no-fuss gin and tonic? These cocktail carts belong to two "I want to be her" ladies. Can you tell which one is J.Crew's Jenna and super blogger Joanna of A Cup of Jo? Which J are you?

Femme Fatale

This past weekend A and I watched The Tourist. From her make-up and outfits to her wickedly cool persona, Angelina was totally drop dead. The next day A even asked me to wear eyeliner like "Elise." These illustrations by Jacqueline Bissett reminded me of her femme fatale nature. How do you play up the charm and mystery? My "how" comes in the form of Urban Decay Zero ;)

Flying High

This sure beats looking like a disheveled grease ball after a 13 hour flight. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say she was not served seafood delight for dinner and made to put her tray table up and seat back in an upright position before landing.

Are you traveling somewhere fabulous soon? What will you wear? Do tell!
