take a bow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvsFra0FFw0

This version is so much better and meaningful than Rihanna's.

"I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take bow"

I'm feelin' good

I love old school mixed with hip hop.  And I mean real hip hop, not that shit you hear on the radio now.  Enjoy this song.  It just makes you feel good.

I've been obsessed with Wax Tailor recently.  The music is so melancholic.  I consider it a melting pot of jazz, electronic, hip hop and experimental.  Put on your headphones and listen

DIY Halloween!!

The best Halloween is all about DIY, not store bought. I heart Halloween!!

Ghost lollipops

My niece's costume, she was Angelina Ballerina. And yes, I made the ears and my sister made the nose. :)

Homemade Reese's Pieces, my bf's favorite... but he only ate 1 >:(

Me, myself and I

"That's all I got in the end."

People call me selfish and self centered. I say, why not? I'm always the one there for me. I'm the one who has to pick myself up at the end of the day. I need to satisfy myself before others, because that's who I have in the end, just me, myself and I. So be selfish. There's no one else who's always there for you, besides the person you see in the mirror.

A nice October afternoon

It's actually beautiful today, and it's October!  Unfortunately it'll be temporary, but no complaints!  I do love fall!  And so does this little one!

Halloween idea...

Except a big girl version  :)  A beautiful Catrina.  Not sure what I'm gonna be doing for Halloween, but it is one of my favorite holidays  :) 

Determination and motivation... it's the fire

This song is so inspiring.

My first tea party looked a little something like this...

So I've always wanted a tea party when I was younger but never had one, so my sisters and I decided to have one for my little niece.  It was so much fun.  We bought most of the stuff from the thrift store, and we kinda went all out.  But it was so worth it, my nieces had so much fun!

The Princesses.  My sister and I make the floral crowns they're wearing.

Home made chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate truffles

"Alice"  Her mom made the dress.  Such a cutie.

Crafts for the girls

Funfetti cupcakes with french vanilla frosting

It was so much fun  :)

Been drooling over these. Which one would you get??

YSL's Chyc Flap Bag, Celine's Box bag or the Hermes Constance bag?  They are all so gorgeous!  The epitome of ladylike chic.

friends + good music = great memories

A little reunion at the Legendary First Ave.  One of my bfs moved to the Big Apple a few months ago and she finally came back to visit.  Nothing we love more than music and drankin'  :)

With D-Block

Me and my ugly friends.  <3

I'll be fortunate enough to see him this Sunday!!  And so will 1,000s of other people, for he will be in concert at First Ave.  His music is so experimental and he is fricking awesome at it.  Can't wait!!!

June.. my favorite month

Why is it my favorite?  Summer summer summer time!!  Though it doesn't feel like summer here.  AND my birthday is in June.  It was such a great birthday.  My family got me the black patent leather YSL Tribute Sandals and my bf got me the awesome Cricut machine, yes I <3 doing crafts, the kate spade "Lauralee" sequin bag and a trip to Vegas.  He was going there for a conference and I was just lucky enough to tag along.  Here are pictures from our trip.

Stayed here.  We got a very standard room.  Pool was nice. Casino was good too.

Seafood buffet at Rio.  Round 1

Round 2

Round 3, I quit after this round

Round 4 for the bf

AND dessert.  Yum.

The gorgeous men of Chippendales are at Rio

It was 5am and the hotels were so deserted that we had them all to ourselves.

The pretty bathrooms

Us

Paris

So empty

Exchanging my shoes

At Fashion Show

Lunch at El Segundo.  The home made guac dip was dee-lish

Goin' out

Nothing like pho to cure a hangover.  @TI

Southbound...

My trip to FL... Went there for my boyfriend's birthday.  It was great getting that much needed sun.  It's still cold here in MN, we got snow last week, luckily it melted as it touched the ground, but c'mon, it's SPRING!!!!!  Anyway......

Our arrival!!  On our way to the resort

Our first meal, Seafood paella... well something like paella, plantains, and I forgot what the fish was, but it was good.  

The next morning, nothing like waking up to a tequila sunrise in the a.m.  :)

Looking clueless...

Met up with some girlfriends at the Hard Rock Cafe

The next morning, Thai food!!  I LOVE Thai food!!  Outside of the restaurant was a crane, I thought it was fake a first glance, then it moved and frightened me, hence, the face...  LOL

  This was grouper in a basil sauce and shrimp pad thai.  It was yums. 

 Green tea ice cream.

Then we watched the sunset.  Gorgeous.

:)  Totally cheesy

JUMP for JOY!

Dinner.  "Blackened" walleye sandwich and bbq salmon. 

Driving to airport.

Goodbye beautiful 90 degree weather!  Hopefully we'll meet in MN soon!!
