Hooked on HGTV...

I don't know what it is about HGTV that is so addicting. I love the fact that the things they "make" are so cheap and darn cute or what. I don't know if it's that I live in this funky little bungalow and everytime someone comes in they coo and say they have always wanted to live in a bungalow- am I striving to have one of those homes like on the local home tours?

Well my newest obsession is an untouched room...our master bedroom. It's really like (like 25 x 12) which my dad, an architect, says is a big no-no. Apparently rooms are supposed to be 1 x 1.4 when looking at space. More square. Well we are switching that up, opening up the 2 side closets and creating a walk-in with some of the length.

So of course I'm looking fast forwards past the week of demolition to the decorating stage. I think I want 3 walls painted, with one wall wallpapered- the wall with the headboard. Sounds awful, I know. But I found this website- www.flavorpaper.com. They have the COOLEST paper in the world. I think when I have kids, I will do my baby's room in it too. I couldn't even tell you my favorite, but I know it's going to be a fun battle with the hubby to get him to agree to me putting it up!

These are a Few of My Favorite Things...

I'm a creature of habit and here are a few of my favorite things!

Cole Haan Nike Air Heels

I'm not a "heels" girl. I live in flats, and I'm such a baby when I'm out all night and on my toes. These shoes have Nike Air technology and walking in them feels like walking on pillows!

Tom Ford FT0040 Margaux sunglasses

I love these. They are a super flattering shape, I get alot of compliments, and I see lot of famous people in USWeekly wearing them. Mine are more brown then gold...

lululemon Boogie Crops!

I'm such a lululemon freak. I have 3pairs of these crops for Pilates or running sometimes. They are so comfortable and they make your butt loo amazing!

JCrew Bathing Suits
It' pretty much all I wear and living by the beach, I have more than a few. I have DD boobies, so I'm big on support and these just work. I also got a few of the bottoms monogrammed on the hip and I get a ton of compliments on them.

Sue London Flats

I live in these shoes. They come in all sorts of cute colors and I have them in chocolate, bronze, black, silver, shimmery purple...I won't bore you with the rest :) . They fold up tiny to travel with you and they are the SOFTEST leather.

Nicole Miller Dresses

I've had such good luck with Nicole Miller dresses lately. Especially with wedding after wedding these days. I have one similar to this one in more of a slate color (this style is called 'stretch metal') and it great for your curves- hides all trouble spots!

Kicking Butt and Taking Names!

Spent last weekend (Mother's Day Weekend) at Walt Disney World in Orlando. We don't live very far from there, less than a hour, so it's not that big of a trip for us. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort (I love the room and proximity to the Magic Kingdom) and spent Saturday at Animal Kingdom (10pm-11pm we hopped over to Magic Kingdom-rode 4 rides) and then we spent Sunday at Magic Kingdom again with our fam.

Primary reason was for the trip was the Danskin SheRox Triathlon I competed in. I love these races and highly recommend them to anyone, no matter your athletic ability, shape, size, or age. They are women-only events and they raise money for Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer charity. I met women of all ages, from California, Wisconsin, South Carolina...And all ages! I met one women competing- 75 years old! I couldn't believe it. So when people say "Wow I can't believe you do those races!", I encourage them to bring out the inner-triathlete in them. Over 2000 women were registered. All these kids were there with signs saying "My Mom Rox!". I always get emotional, like "that's so sweet" emotional when I see that stuff. Jut like when I cry during "Extreme Home Makeover".

There is another event in Miami in a few weeks with the same race series, but I think the hubby needs a break from dragging my bike all over creation, waking up at 5:30am on a weekend, etc. The website is http://www.danskinwomenstri.com/.

Side note- I heart RueLala. Got my Lilly Pulitzer green seer sucker skirt in the mail today. Sure enough, the retail price wa $148 and I to it for $48!

Side note x 2- Getting psyched for my girl trip with my college roommate to Europe next month! June 19th marks my arrival in Switzerland! Sooo excited!!!

auf Wiedersehen!
