Attention Whore- HOURS late!

So yesterday around 6 PM I wanted to get a blog post up that would allow me to totally just attention whore. But for some reason blogger was adding my videos insanely slow!


Then I come back around 11:30 PM thinking that FB would upload them faster and I could just embed them here....but no luck....


And in the midst of all of this more great stuff happened (new stuff in red text)


But for some reason I laid awake until 5 AM and I'm up now (at 8:45 AM) and feel totally awake which is sooooo strange.


*****************************************************************
I had a totally different post in mind for today but I've been lagging (didn't take a shower until 12) and this particular post requires me to search for video (that DOES exist) somewhere on my computer.... (Edit: I started typing this post out at like 5 PM. It's now 11:25 and I'm still trying to get it up because of stoopid blogger.) 


So do you mind if I take a minute to completely attention whore some really cool stuff? 


First my husband decided today was a good day to love me in my language....which just happens to be gift receiving (hush...I'm not really shallow). He came home and surprised with my first sewing table, flowers, and sewing machine case. He's now been working on putting the thing together for about 2 hours. I start my sewing class Monday and I'm getting all kinds of goosebumps!

Then when my lovely hubby arrived home so did my now all-time favorite sexy mom high-heels. OMG I am soooooo in love with these (and so is my husband). They are super comfy, the right size heel to chase a terrorizing terrific toddler in, and just plain AWESOME. I've been watching these on Piperlime and thinking them over for awhile and the other day I was in my email searching my "Items Wanted" (I clearly I have issues) folder with a hankering to purchase and came across these. And it was my lucky day because they we're on sale for $60. Unfortunately it's not your lucky day because they are no longer on sale...but trust me....they are worth it. Even my hubby agrees I should spend the extra $40 and get another pair.

Then Cody Simpson's (click here to find out who Cody is) iYiY hit iTunes yesterday (front page) and we just found out that in 24 hours iYiY is number #95 on the top 100 iTunes list. This is AWESOME for new artist and it's only the second day! And it's number #19 on the Australian iTunes chart! To hear the song in full hit his YouTube page.

Edit: Now as of Thursday, June 3rd at 8:47 AM the song jumped 27 spots overnight and is now #68 on US charts!

And #14 on Aussie charts!

But that's not all folks. The Billboard article on Cody (and featuring a mini quote from the hubsters) is also on-line as the front page! And on news stands the 5th.

And not to be out down.......... A delicious grilled lunch Phoenix made for me today.

Boy does it get any better??

Our Personal Fall Lookbook

Before each season I like to think about what look I want to go for, for that upcoming season. This summer it was dresses and boho. A constant in the winter for me is always a great pair of boots, last year it was booties. This year, I want flat riding style boots. Haven't found that pair yet so if you see any good one holla' at yo girl homie :-P

While pursing the latest celebrity rags I stumbled upon the same photo of Kate Hudson. And couldn't help but think how much I loved her style.

I loved the whole effortless look she had going on and even though it was this oversized guy shirt it was very sexy.

This picture made me decide my Fall look would be The Boyfriend look. Gap is a great help in achieving this look as is Piperlime. And of course your husband or boyfriends closet.
I tried the look out Friday and I loved it, but it was like 90 degrees so I was a bit hot.

So for me it's going to be oversized button downs, cardigans, loose t shirts, tight tshirts, boyfriend jeans (look at Gap for these), trench coats, blazers and a good belt.







For shoes, I'm thinking moccasins or these great Sanuk Sidewalk Surfers for when I'm running to Target or My Gym.





For more sexier, gown up times I'm thinking sexy stillettos. Even those Coach ones I have my eyes on.



Here's a good article I found while looking for pictures. The article said that you still want to add girly touches. Big earrings, necklaces, braclets. If you are going to do a button down, pair it with skinny jeans and stilettos. Baggy cuffed jeans? Tight vintage inspired tshirts. Get it?

Do you like to plan out a look for the season? If so what's yours going to be?

I also have started planning Phoenix's look as well. He has two looks this fall. Preppy baby. Button down with the sleeves rolled up and baseball caps (ha like he'll wear them), puffy vests, baby Uggs and converse.


His second look is going to be rocker baby chic. Washed out demin and skinny jeans. And yes they make skinny jeans for boys at of all places TARGET! I'm not finding good examples of this baby rock look. But you get the idea right?

And these great shoes I found from Esty will be a perfect compliment to his baby rocker style.
