This is Halloween!

I (im)patiently waited for October 1st to start hauling out the box from my garage filled to the brim with Halloween decorations. This past Saturday marked the date I could begin making our house look spook-tacular and I wasted absolutely no time! I recruited my poor hubby (who wasn’t feeling his best) to help me and by late afternoon, we were patting each other on the back for a job well done.

As people walked up and down our neighborhood, I saw them already pointing and gawking at our festive decorations. That’s right. Welcome to how I roll in October, biatches.

Here are some snapshots of my favorite pieces:

Squeeworthy: Soft Watches

Watches are one of those accessories I love hoarding. You wouldn’t know it lately though, since I have been watch-less for several months. All my watches decided to poop out on me and I’ve been too lazy to replace their batteries, so I’ve been functioning without a watch for entirely too long. I tried to remedy the situation by finally getting my beautiful Betsey Johnson watch fitted, but was frustrated to find that not every jewelry store fixes products they don’t sell (annoying).

But then (!) I discovered a lovely website named Deal Pulp. Ladies, I totally recommend joining. Sure, it’s another one of those sale sites, but what I like about Deal Pulp is that it focuses mainly on accessories, and gives you promo codes for existing webstores or selects several items from one to feature at a (much) lower price on a daily basis. While perusing one of their daily emails featuring these deals, I saw one for Soft Watches! Those of you that follow me on Pinterest know that I had pinned these fun & simple watches to my wish list board. Wish, no longer!

Lovable Friday!

1. Cambridge Satchel Co

Words cannot express how much I love these satchels. If money was not a concern, I’m pretty sure I would have one in every color (especially those festive neon colors). I’d love to splurge and pick one up for our upcoming Euro trip, but looks like I’ll have to settle to just admire (aka; drool) from afar. Which one would be my pick? The lovely classic in this vibrant kelly green.

Squeeworthy: Fall Booties

Fashion confession: I have thick legs. So thick that I often cannot fit in all those trendy, hot knee high boots. This has made me sad for a very long time. Sure, we don’t have a whole lot of “sweater weather” down here in Miami, but when we do, my footsies ache to wear a beautiful pair of boots. I guess you can blame it on the you always want what you can’t have theory. This is where booties come in to save the day – now these I can wear without a problem and they still have the look and feel of a good fall boot! Plus, they are more than appropriate for our tropical weather as they aren’t as intense as their taller counterparts. Here are some of my favorites that I have stumbled on the web:

Happy Hump Day: Chris Zylka

I can’t lie – it’s been difficult trying to find a new hottie for each week’s hump day. I feel like I’ve already featured everyone out there, but I’m happy to say that now I’m pretty sure that could never happen. There is always some ridiculously good looking dude out there for me to share with all of you. Aren’t you lucky? This week brings you Chris Zylka. He’s been on a few tween TV shows such as Hannah Montana and 10 Things I Hate About You (I’m still confused as to WHY they defamed one of my favorite movies, but whatevs), along with some indie flicks (one with the strangest synopsis ever, Kaboom) and bad animal attack oens (Shark 3D, anyone?). But it seems as if he’s going to be more of a household name than just some pretty unknown face that I happened to find on JustJared – he’s playing Flash Thompson in the Spiderman reboot featuring another hump day hottie, Andrew Garfield. I was already looking forward to these new films (still trying to erase that terrible song & dance number in Spidey 3 from memory), but now I’ll definitely be picking up tickets opening weekend. What can I say? I’m a sucker for pretty boys (& geeky comic book inspired flicks).

What I Wore: Festivus

This past weekend we celebrated my hubs’ big 3-0. His birthday actually falls the week before we leave to Europe, but since it is such a milestone birthday, I didn’t want it to be something small and rushed due to the big trip taking over precedence. So we moved it up a month and invited all our friends to our pad for what would turn out to be one wild and crazy night complete with balloon-infested bouts of karaoke (look below for video evidence), shots of the KRAKEN and night swimming. Although I may have been harboring murderous thoughts about my nearest and dearest the next morning, I am so happy everyone came out to make his night so special. We are lucky to have some pretty cool people in our lives. Thanks for making this crazy ride called life so amazing, friends.

Since I was to be the hostess, I wanted to make sure I looked cute while still being able to play the part. I started off with a dress and really high booties (more on my bootie love later this week), but figured that wasn’t really practical. And I was totally right. That’s why I settled for this sweet little sailor meets Parisian outfit. I especially love the skirt – it is my most favorite in my closet due to comfort, the way it flatters the smallest part of my body and the fact that everyone always thinks it is a dress! I added some fun details like turning my awesome Ban.do shoe clips into a headband accessory and a very loud & glittery nail polish.

Happy Birthday LOST!

via Tumblr

Six years today, Oceanic flight 815 crashed on a seemingly deserted island. Happy birthday to my most favorite show, LOST. Thank you for the wild & crazy ride <3

Quickie!

It feels like I’ve been gone from the blogosphere for entirely too long, so I figured I would pop in real quick to give a little update! I’m busier than ever, but will try to continue posting regularly in the weeks to come.

{30 Day Photo Challenge}

I’m sure all of you think I have forgotten about my photo challenge, but I fooled you all! I have been silently hoarding photos in my iPhone & kept telling myself I had to share them, but I would forget every single time. So I hope you don’t mind spamming because here are days 7-11!

Pottermore

Was anyone else granted access to Pottermore this past weekend?
I was, and I almost careened my way off the road when I noticed I had received my owl (yeah, yeah. I know how awful it is to read your email while driving). Needless to say, the first thing I did when I got home was check the site and…it was down. I checked again: still down.

It wasn’t until I returned home after a raucous night with my derby sisters at 3am that I finally was able to get in and enjoy some of the site. I won’t spoil, but…So.much.fun. I managed to be given my wand before 4am, when I realized I was absolutely ridiculous, the biggest nerd on the planet and needed some sleep.
