Weekend Highlights: Star Trek edition

sat3494532457_9d889cf8d7

All the stars aligned on Friday afternoon, when my good friend Aurora (check out her great cocktail reviews on Miami.com) gave me a call. The last thing I expected her to tell me was that she had an extra advanced screening pass for two to see Star Trek Saturday morning, but she did. Needless to say, both Augi and I shifted our schedules to be able to make this happen!

We got to Sunset Place two hours early to ensure that we’d be let in and basked in the ultimate J.J. Abrams-fan-nerdiness that were our fellow movie goers. It was very hard not to interject when I heard all the LOST theories being thrown around, but I managed as best as I could! It was just really fun to be around so many enthusiastic people – unfortunately, there are not many around these parts.

But enough about that, let me get to the good stuff: the movie! Warning: I will obviously be talking about the movie’s plot & characters, so make sure you know what you are doing when you click to continue reading. There will be spoilers, so don’t say I didn’t warn you (in large bold letters)!

As a girl that struggles putting together appropriate and chic outfits for the office, I can truly appreciate the advice given on the WorkChic blog. Unlike other working girl blogs, they cover a variety of different budgets as well as different levels of formality from casual to professional and everything in between. My difficulties stem from having to put together business casual outfits while knowing that I will be working with children. Plus, I tend to gravitate more towards the “fun clothes” while shopping. Hopefully by putting WorkChic on my list of favorite blogs, I can be inspired to be one hot office fashionista ;) [Read more…]

Weekend Highlights

friday12009_monsters_vs_aliens_0011

Friday night I was lucky enough to join the AgencyNet gang for a night of fun, which was all put together by the chairman of awesomeness, Omar. Seriously. That’s his title. The night consisted of pizza, booze and Monsters vs. Aliens 3D at the IMAX theater! I have to say that the movie was not the most spectacular thing in the world, but it was cute. The 3D really didn’t give it that much of a boost either. I would probably recommend a rental for this one. Although I’m pretty much in love with Insectasaurus, that big crazy looking thing in the photo above. I couldn’t help but think of my baby Boston, Gwen (if you know her, you understand). On that note, I move on to Saturday…

The show that took New York City by storm is finally making its way to Miami. FuerzaBruta is described as being “a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion and kinetic aerial imagery.” The audience are active members in the performance with the majority of the action taking place inches above their heads. Intrigued, right? I know I am! I hope to be able to pick up some tickets to see this infamous show at the Adrienne Arsht Center. If you want to as well, click here!

I’m currently enjoying my third Boston Lager (chill, I wrote this Thursday night) and I totally love it. Although I am a beer novice, only being introduced to the many joys a few months back, I absolutely love this one. Granted, it is no White ale (my personal favorite), but it’s delicious. It’s Friday, it’s time for celebration. Throw a few of these back in my honor. ;)

Making Trek look good

picture-12

It’s Thursday, which makes it almost Friday, which means we all need a little pick-me-up to get us through the day and one step closer to the weekend. What works best for me?

Pretty boys.
And here are two just for all of you!

Chris Pine & Zachary Quinto have just begun their tour of the world to support J.J. Abrams’ newly vamped Star Trek. It premiered in Sydney, Australia just a couple of days ago and a surprise screening was held in Austin earlier this week for a few lucky fans complete with Leonard Nimoy introduction. So that means the reviews have started rolling in. What is everyone saying? That it is a-freaking-mazing, that’s what.

Nothing describes a more perfect weekend than going out for a photoshoot with my husband. Although photography is just his hobby, he is extremely passionate about it (as well as talented). Even though sometimes I get embarrassed when posing out in public for his shots, I always tend to love the results when I finally relax and get comfortable. This weekend we’ll be heading to the Fair for a photoshoot with a bunch of friends. Can’t wait!

I ordered a big girl item from my friend, Nadia’s, Etsy store (which I featured earlier this month) and I was excited to get the package the other night. What I wasn’t expecting was the adorable surprise included: Smashing Pumpkin clippies! For those 2 people that still do not know, I am a huge Pumpkins fan and have been since I was about 13/14 years old. Unfortunately, I just got the most terrible news also this week: Drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin, decided to leave the band. I don’t know if I can fully be behind a band with the Pumpkins’ name without Jimmy being involved. We’ll see. Either way, these clippies made me smile from ear to ear & I plan on wearing them a lot. Actually, I’m wearing them right now! I love my friends.

Weekend Highlights

Since I don’t post on weekends, I’ve decided that maybe Monday’s should recap all the fun or maybe not-so-fun things that happened Friday through Sunday. Does that sound like a good idea? Let me know! You all know I love comments & I don’t get enough of them!

So here we go, my weekend roundup:

friday1

- I finished watching the So NoTORIous episodes. It was hilarious. I want my own GBFF.
– Gwen became very concerned while watching Tori’s pug, Mimi La Rue.
– OK, I just discovered Mimi La Rue died. Sadness! May the little ham stuffed in a doile rest in peace.

1. 500 Days of Summer
1. 500 Days of Summer

This movie just instantly had me. And I haven’t even seen it. In fact, it won’t come out until July but there is just something to its lovable quirkiness that makes me certain that it will be one of my all time favorites. The movie is about Tom, a hopeless romantic, that is caught off guard when his girlfriend, Summer, breaks up with him. This causes him to go back and relive all 500 days that they were together to try to see where they went wrong. Hint: it wasn’t in the fashion or looks department. These two are absolutely adorable! Check out the trailer here.
