Shoe of the week

So I may have to put these on my Christmas list for Santa, but I love these shoes! They are Prada hot pink patent loafers and I need them. How cute would they be with a pink turtleneck and black patent hangbag? I found these on Bluefly and they are having a fall sale... Score!

For those of us who cannot splurge on the Prada, (I know I can't) this Isaac Mizrahi for Target loafer gives you close to the same look for less. And by less I mean $29.99 and really it is just as cute!


Happy Shoe Shopping!

Pumpkin + Grey's = Perfect Thursday

What better way to celebrate fall? Philosophy's pumpkin spice muffin lipgloss! Mmmmmmmmmm! It is o-so fabulous and highly recommendable. I took this picture today at work when I needed a little mental break. Please notice my calendar in the background has Grey's written on it so I wouldn't forget. SERIOUSLY ... how excited are we?

Weight Watcher Wednesdays

That's right... I am back on the boat. I have gained some pounds back and need to get them off so I joined weight watchers last week (It's the only thing that works for this gal). Next June I will need to be dancing on stage and also am in a wedding in July, so thought I might as well start now because.... well BECAUSE! So I need your help, I will get weighed every Tuesday so I will post what I lose every week (Let's hope I do not a gain a thaaang).

So my first week on the scale I have lost 3.4 POUNDS! WooHoo!!!!

Monday Night Football

So it is true. I have jumped on the band wagon with Mr. Ralph Lauren in the yellow shirt to your right. I relate his obsession with football to mine of monogramming. I mean... it's totally ok that its me and the dog on Sundays......... and Mondays... alot of Saturdays... and the occasionally Thursday (SIGH). In years past I have gone to a few games and had a fabulous time. So yes, I can't believe that he has done this to me........ GOOOOOOOO EAGLES! E-A-G-L-E-S-EAGLES!! Now back to your regularly scheduled preppy.
