LOST Day Special

A big THANK YOU to EWOnline for their ridiculous amount of LOST content. And thank you especially for these pictures that made my day.

The boys of Party of Five have had my heart since about 1994 when I watched my first episode, and Bailey and Charlie will be the names of Scott Wolf and Matthew Fox forever to me. This was definitely tricky when LOST began and Matthew Fox=Charlie but did NOT equal Charlie Pace. These days Jack/Charlie sometimes gets on my nerves (WHY do you have to run off into the jungle without talking to everyone first?) but he makes it hard for me to chose Sawyer over Jack, I am always torn.

Love the gray at the temples on Matt here. Love these photos. Can't wait for the episode tonight!!

RockBand Widow

I adore my husband. I really do. But one thing thats frustrates me about him is that anything he tries, he picks up really quickly and becomes good at. This is a true blessing in life, DON'T get me wrong I know this, but there are about a thousand examples over the nearly 12 (!!) years we have been together that show this and it sometimes gets under my skin. Examples include:

--His getting into the college that was BOTH of our favorites Early Decision while I had to wait for the waitlist--I swear I will hold this grudge to the grave....no, no, I'm over it.

--I started training for a 5K hugffing and puffing for weeks, and he had no interest, 2 months later he started with an ipod Nike+ and was jogging along with Tiger telling him he had a personal best...

--I get my dream camera and so far some of the best pictures come from his tinkering...

Anyway--the latest. DH got RockBand for Christmas and though a series of events, he only got it in his hands on Sunday. Since then, he has been playing when any available minutes arise, which has been extra challenging as my parents are in town and staying nearby so we have been hanging out with them. He of course got my mom and dad on the instruments, but thats for another post.

What I am talking about here is the spring in his step as we head into the apartment, and I know what that means--an hour of drum solos that he has seemed to learn overnight. I woke up Monday morning, a holiday, and I could tell he had been playing for about an hour. As I speak he is working on Drum technique to "Float On".

Now I love RockBand too, its really fun, but I knowingly am medicore at best. These songs are already haunting me in my dreams and now I have a new lovely piece of furniture for my living room, a plastic drum set that is about knee high and multi colored. Though I love that DH has such instant muic passion and ability I ask you...

Whats a girl to do?

Rain Rain Go Away

It has been raining here for four days straight. Even though it is a part of Spring, this rain has been cold and windy and makes me want to just bundle up completely.

The rain does give me a chance to wear my new Hunter wellies. Funny story about those--I love rubber boots and I had latched on to the Hunters as something that looked timeless and classic while that "Hunter" brand had just a small element of style. I was cruising Zappos.com when I realized that they now make a Hunter "Huntress" style that is for wider calves. Since I usually take the Extended Calf in JCrew boots, and I wanted to tuck jeans in to the boots. I decided to give them a whirl.

So the box arrived, and they were great! Pine green color, and they fit around the jeans as I hoped. But I looked closer for the cool cute modern "HUNTER" logo, and I realized these wide calf Huntress boots were branded "HUNTRESS" on the front. Hmm I thought. Is this an advertisement for "Hey I have fat calves" or "Hi, my boots might be knockoffs" or "I like to traipse through the woods with a bow and arrow"? I realize this is total shallow thinking, I mean they are just rain boots to keep water out. But it did give me pause. In the end, I ended up keeping them because they are comfortable, protect my feet, and look cute! Love the green.


I may end up traipsing through the woods with some bow and arrows though if the occaision comes up...I have got the boots for it! :)

Whats your favorite rainy day outfit?

Deal of the Day: Target Merona Moccasins

I am really hard on my shoes. For some reason, I am always wearing heels down to the metal pegleg, or scuffing, or smudging, or dirtying, any pair of shows I own. I am "that girl" who gets her heel stuck in a crack in the sidewalk, trips out with bare foot hopping, and pulls the shoe out to reveal a tear in the leather on the heel (this happened last night). I don't know what it is, I just know that shoes will never remain pristine in my care.

Because of this, I never spend more than $100 on shoes--I just know I won't be able to do them justice of fine care. Its almost a game, what are the best shoes I can get for under $100.

Today I reached new heights in this goal when I received a box from Target with my $5 Pearl Cluster necklace (so cute) and the Merona Micaela Moccasin.

The Mocasins are HERE for $17.49 and they are so comfortable! Like a slipper. I am sure they will fall apart eventually but at least I will get my money's worth!

Here is a pic, excuse the ugly carpet at my office:

Martin + Osa Delivery

This evening I arrived home to a box from Martin + Osa. Of course this meant an immediate try-on session. I was excited cause I had ordered a mix of work and casual wear. I ordered the:

Campfire Fleece Hoodie:
Cute zip up fleece, I ordered this is a Medium and it fits great and is the perfect go to hoodie for after work.



Men's Tattersall Check Shirt:
I have this funny thing where every once in a while I think a men's shirt would be great to have. I took a chance and ordered this shirt in a Small because it was about $11 after discounts. I also ordered one for my husband haha, with the commitment to never wear them at the same time! I plan on wearing it with either a slim pencil skirt or breezy pants. Please excuse my goofy face, I was happy because I think this experiment just might work!





Stripe VNeck Cashmere Cardigan in Brown:
Again, I ordered this in a Medium and it fits slimly but in the way I like cardigans to fit--also has a longer length good for layering. Its a chocolate brown with a orange striping. Even though the colors are fall-y, I think this will be cute into spring. Wearing it here with my wide JCrew jeans belt.

Osa Boot Jean:
After so much talk about the Osa Straight jeans, I decided to try the Boot fit jeans as well, and the same size fit, the 30s for me. I usually wear 31 in Paige and my Citizen (wider leg flare), but for some reason the Osa cut fits me really well. I recommend these jeans!!




I also got a silk cami but no pics of that. The best part is with the sale prices and a promotion code, I got all the items for around $100. Considering the cardigan started at $170, I would say thats a good deal. Kind of ridiculous, but a good deal!

LOST Brain Buster of the Day...

Just read this on the message boards, I didn't notice it myself when I watched...

Doc, I can't believe you missed the biggest Easter Egg of all. That was Hurley's voice reciting The Numbers on the transmission Danielle's crew was following.

!!!!

When the Frenchies are on the beach right before they ask Jin about a radio tower, you can hear the numbers through the radio. If that is Hurley's voice doing it...well, I just, I ....

THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!

Spring is in the Air...

...and I am Dreaming of this:



Green grass, long summer shadows, and the crack of the bat! Pitchers and Catchers report today! That means Opening Day is just around the corner.

Of course, this has to equate to clothes somehow. My spring/summer "uniform"...




White jeans, navy sweater, trusty Rainbow flip flops and weathered belt, Starfish necklace, and my perfectly faded Sox hat.

Play Ball!
