Super Size Your Photos

As an anniversary present I had a photo from my honeymoon turned into a HUGE art print to hang over our bed. We had been looking for a nice beach scene to hang and couldn't find one. Everything we saw was of the ocean during a storm - not exactly what you want hanging in your bedroom. I'm thrilled with the result.

Hard to get to, but so relaxing & peaceful.

My Adorable Puppies


Here's a picture of my adorable puppies Bentley & Winston. This past Summer I was laying out by the pool and went inside for a moment to refill my drink. While I was gone they had taken over my lounger, and Bentley is even laughing at me.

Gucci on Rue La La



Recently the flash shopping sale websites have had some high-end brands. Chanel was on Beyond the Rack, Hermes on ideeli, and now Gucci on Rue La La. The Gucci prices on Rue La La are actually a "sale price". I just ordered a large Sukey purse that I've been checking out for awhile. It retails for $995 on Gucci's website and was on sale for $799 on Rue La La. So, it was about $200 off the regular store price. I wasn't sure if I should get the large size vs. the medium size, but went with the large. I hope that it's not too ridiculously big. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Pinterest

I just joined Pinterest & I'm on cool idea overload. Basically there's an appelet that you add to your browsers toolbar. Whenever you see something cool you can "Pin It" (similiar to bookmark it). Then you can add the pins to different "Boards" (similiar to folders if you had bookmarked it) that you set up. The difference between this & bookmarking though is that it's visual & you can see what your friends are pinning too. Check it out.

Birthday Present to Myself




In July I bought myself an early birthday present. I've had handbag-envy for months. Two of my friends at the Junior League have this & I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. It's a Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM tote. It's huge! I went with the Damier Ebene print rather than the traditional LV. I figure that I can use it when I travel as my airplane bag, and also use it at work since the sales rep. said the straps are crafted to hold up to 200+ lbs. They even used the hot stamper to put my initials on the base of one of the handles.
