My New Favorite Thing (it's this picture, thats all...)

I stumbled upon this image today while perusing Cup of Jo's blog.....I think it is one of my favorite things ever, in the entire world.  I even placed it on my sidebar (see scroll all the way down, look on the right!) Paul Newman is truly stunning as is Joanne Woodward.  Oh the way they were....

Weekly Bag/Bow Me Over

As per usual I am a sucker for anything and everything with a bow on it.  When I was little Madre used to always stick them in my hair, and in high school every Summit girl thought they were the height of fashion.  Well in the case of this Valentino bag they are tres fashionable without being too cutesy or preppy.  I have to admit when I first saw this bag a few seasons ago I was not thrilled....but this beautiful grey has won me over.  It is patent, but in comparison to some other larger bags on the market it is somewhat reasonably price (remember it is Valentino!) also have you see Valentino : The Last Emperor yet??!?!? 

To Purchase:

The River

So again it's been a while, but over Memorial Day Madre and I went up to our dear, dear friends house on the St. Lawrence River in upstate NY. It was heavenly and not just because that Saturday was my first day off since Christmas vacation! We visited the local shops, took the doggie for long walks, ate amazing fish/shrimp, and perhaps most importantly we went for several BOAT RIDES. If you know me you know I was born to be on a boat....there is nothing I like more and no place I would rather be than on a boat when the sun is out!

VIVA Las Vegas

SO next weekend KW and I are going on a MUCH MUCH needed trip to VEGAS.  I've never been before but I am so excited, and I may or may not have seen The Hangover (umm Bradley Cooper is HOT) twice already.  Being the OCD person that I am I have been planning for weeks now booking show tickets, cabanas, club tickets and so on and so forth.  Anyone who has been to Vegas what am I missing that's important?  Any recommendations??  Thanks!!!!

I'm Back

So it's been way way too long since my last post....but I figured I would give it a try again....here's hoping.

The Reader

Last night I finally went to see Kate Winslet in The Reader, WOW I was blown away. I won't get too much into the plot in case some people haven't seen it (and you should!) but it was an amazing movie.

Last night was also the very first time that I have gone to a movie by myself. This may not seem like a big thing but to me it was. Honestly, I enjoyed it too. I went to The Paris Theatre, which happens to be right down the block from my new apartment. The Paris is on old school theatre, with a mezzanine seating level. When you walk in the screen is covered in thick velvet curtains that are drawn back just as the movie is starting. It was nice to watch a movie in this retro setting, instead of in one of those megaplex cinema places on the highway.
