Can You Help Me Occupy My Brain? Ohh Yeah!

The other day I woke up and decided to start being a human being again. I had breakfast lunch and dinner, answered mostly all of my calls(if you called me this week and I didn't get back to there is a huge explanation), tissue papered most cloths and and I even took a shower(looking at my hair alone you could tell I was on a bad run!) Sorry about leaving for a while but as i stated before I do run into seasonal depression and well Pittsburgh has not been over around 25 degrees for weeks. Actually on the news tonight, the weather man actually said it was going to warm up for the football game. All the way to 16 degrees!!! Anyways I'm out in a little so I'm feeling better about everything.

Tonight the Steelers(my hometown team) won the championship title and are gong to the Superbowl.........again. I'm happy though cause I know Doody's real pumped and since she didn't have a voice tonight due to the flu, I dedicated myself to the game and screamed for her. It was kind of fun! This is my only problem with the Steelers going to the Superbowl this year. Any other year I think it's awesome but our QB did some terrible things and for some reason, in Gods plans, is having him go to his 3rd Superbowl. If it were me, I believe Ben should have been fired. I've seen him a few times at clubs and his actions were gross and rude. That's not something I'm pondering on though because if you get really drunk everyone actions get wild. But as I write this 2 of my loved ones are wishing for hope, freedom, and be able to fight their disease. These 2 people are REALLY amazing beautiful souls and everything seems to happen to them. So what I am trying ask is-Why do all the bad things happen to good people and the bad people are breezing through life?

Wow I'm truly sorry. Fuck i didn't even do my Golden Globe dresses yes or say how delish Johnny looked! Black Swan.....I never did my piece on Black Swan! (I hope you all have seen it by now but if not don't read that blog). Or gosh just anything! I'm moving this week so writing will be a good distraction from packing. Hope you all are well!!!

I'll leave you know with photos of my STUNNING Armani Underwear Ads Rafael Nadel is doing!!!! Also don't for get abut the Australian open this week.....Vamos Rafa

Peace & Love

RIP Andrea-Your in a much better place now free of the pain that is killing us all. You are missed greatly.

This is How We Used to Make the Party Start

After skipping a month of 'Must Haves" due to I can't remember why I didn't do them. maybe August nothing was really that great to be had......but ohh don't you worry because September does! Enjoy loves!!!!

September Must Haves

10. The Pretty Reckless. Album release September 10th. Get on it.

9. Tights, tights, and more tights. This, to me is wayyy old news but for all you girls out there who do not already rock out mad tights, it's a essential for fall. If you really wanna have bad ass tights check out Ebay or any of my listed fashion sites. I bought the hands down most awesome tights recently from Revolve. Yeah the cost me $56, and that was at half off, but damn were they worth it.

8. Old School Albums. Dig through your CD collection or go to your local Record Exchange and pick up all your favs. Music was never better than when we were young so get to it.

7. Double Breasted Coat. Guys, this is all you. I know a lot of fashionable guys out there and they already know that this is Fall at it's finest.

6. Free Lil' Weezy.

5. MTV Video Music Awards. My favorite awards show hands down. Shit is crazy, fashion is crazy, and you never know if Kanye will cry or write an ALL CAPS blog the next day. Unfortunately they are being held in LA this year but it should still a good show. It's ALWAYS better when held at Radio City though. Nothing like that NYC energy!

4. Sony PlayStation Move. This thing is absolutely the shit. Google it and look it up for yourself but as my last review I read on it stated, "The technology is actually pretty similar to Nintendo's, but on Steroids!" Must have for any tech junkie. Sept. 15th UK release date. US still unannounced.

3. Dom Perignon-Andy Warhol Limited Edition. Simply fabulous and a wonderful collectors item for any Warhol fan. $229
2. Rafael Nadal. I'm sure your all sick of hearing me talk about him so I'll spare you but in the last and final week of the US Open he needs even more love then he already gets. Already has 8 Grand Slams under his belt but the only one missing is the US Open. I think this year is gonna be his year. Vamos!!!

1. Best Friends

Happy Memorial Day......I mean Labor Day haha

Peace & Love

It's Too Darn Hot!

So it's May 11th(ok technically May 12th but I haven't gotten there yet) and I am just doing Must Haves of May. Sorry for the delay but you know all the drama and business that's been occurring lately. Please excuse. So let's get to it!

10. Nobody's Daughter by Hole. It's classic Courtney. It's not her best work but if you are a longtime Ms. Love fan than it is a must have for your collection. Better yet you want to try to hit up one of Courtney's gigs when she's in your area. Girl is a hell of a performer which I'm sure you all know. Now off to Courtney's nemesis these days; the young and talented rocker.........

9. The Pretty Reckless starring Taylor Momsen. Courtney has been snapping at Ms. Momsen for a while now about her image and her musical influences. I think Courtney needs to take a step back and admire the fact that Momsen is, in her own little way, imitating the successful Ms. Love. Imitation is always the most sincere form of flattery. We all know I love rock and grunge and Taylor is doing an exceptional job. Please go take a look at her website, listen to a few things, and see for yourself. In my eyes I think she is going to do extremely well. But Taylor.....never never say "I really want to be like Kurt" ever again. That's really sweet but he is not living. At least you didn't say "Kurt Cobain is my ideal boyfriend", like that skanky Miley girl did. http://www.theprettyreckless.com/splash/

8. The Brides of May. Best of luck to you all. Be beautiful and bring your own style into your day. This is supposedly the "best day of your life" so make sure you take all of it in and relax. And most importantly......do not drink alcohol! We have all seen what a stirr that causes. To Ms. Bowden, Ms. Patrinos, and Ms. Flamino, I wish I could be with you all on this last weekend of May. I will in my heart and Ms. Bowden we are going to have the time of our lives. Congrats Tera, Lara, and Ash!

7. The One Piece Swimsuit. If you don't feel like showing it all off this summer in a teeny bikini, don't fret....you have options. I actually just purchased one my self! But it was returned because I do not need another swimsuit in my life when I barely go out in the sun(we'll have a whole blog about that!). Here are some great places where I found GREAT one piece suits-Anthropologie, Juicy(so cute), and Target(the Zac Posen for Target line.) Let talk about the Posen line 1st. Amazing but only amazing if you have the hottest bod around! That's the sucky part. Due to this being a high end line for a low end store they still do the same cuts as they usually would. Very skimpy in the behind area. I personally LOVEDDDD it but I kinda felt like I was almost wearing a thong. Moving on. Anthroplogie. One of my girlfriends found 2 gorge one pieces from them. Very covering as well. Juicy. Juicy is a great in between model. If you don't want to cover up too much but you still don't want a bikini then these one pieces may be perfect for you. P.S. Never go swimsuit shopping after a night of eating and drinking. Just don't.

6. Bows. Last year I was wearing huge flowers in my hair at this time and this year I am wearing huge bows. This is a trend. If you do not feel comfortable rocking out a huge bow whether it be on your head or on your shoes, then simply don't attempt it. You have to go into this one with confidence. I adore the bow but I've always adored the bow so putting a headband on me with a floppy bow the size of my head isn't going to bother me. But I know it does bother most. What you can do to still be able to use this but not be self conscious is get a new bag with a bow on it. That is a simple way to express that you know whats gong on in the fashion world but are a simple girl. Pictured above is a lovely Valentino handbag. This is perfect. Or if you've ever seen the huge clutch that is just one gigantic bow that Vanentino does as well, that will work too. have fun with this!

5. Eyelash Extentions. I said it last month and I'll say it again. Eyelash extensions are it. And absolutely perfect for wedding season. Find a salon or spa near you that can fit your needs. And don't ever look at anyone on TV(even all the reality people) and think that their lashes are real. NO one has real lashes or hair right now. Everyone is a fake mess! I approve of lashes and hair but that's where I put an end to the madness out there! Cost=I have no f'ing clue.

4. Nude. It's all about the color nude. Love it. If not you need to learn to love it because it's hot and I said so. 1st-Nude colored Loubitons. These entend the leg in length where boys and girls will be dropping their jaws everytime you walk past. Since some of us cannot afford Loubitons(me), settle for a line such as BCBG MaxAzria. Max Azria has amazing amazing shoes which look very expensive. So instead of paying $795 for Loubs prepare to Spend about $225 for Max Azrias. It's worth it. And to go with those yummy long legs(please look at the photo of Taylor on the fan page) you will need yummy long long fingers! Chanel's spring polish in Django is worth every penny. I drool everytime I apply it I love it so much.

3. Rafael Nadal. It's Clay season as we all better know! And with that let me bring you the king of clay himself.....Mr. Rafael Nadal. Not only is Rafa a hot piece but he is also a world class tennis player and all around guy. BTW Rafa is kicking butt right now and has won everything over in Europe in the ATP tournament. Let's wish him luck this week in Madrid. XO hottie!

2. Attn: all hot boys and hot girls. Hello it's time to get your summer fling on! Do I need say more. P.S. I'm actually single so whoever gets to me 1st gets a kiss. x

1. Best Friends. Obviously

Peace & Love

TE DIJO TE AMO

Even though the next Grand Slam for all of you tennis addicts, like myself, isn't until January in Australia, we can still all get excited for next weeks Paris BNP Master Series. Why are we excited? Love of the sport-yes, but most importantly, the love of Rafael Nadal. Now all of you that know me know I have a mild to intense love for Rafa. It was kind of like my spring/summer moto......Vamos Rafa! I lived and breathed tennis. Injury struck Rafa and left him out of the French and Wimbledon grand slams and bringing his ranking down to #2, letting Federer have his #1 position back.

Well guess what people....Rafa's back! And he's gonna bring it. Often people assume I am obsessed with Rafa for his looks, but this isn't the entire truth. I love the way he plays the game as well. It's rough, it's real, it's fascinating! And yes, on top of all that he is my idea of gorgeous. Rafa has everything I love in the looks area. Dark eyes, dark hair, dark skin, and his hot Spanish tongue. These have always been my types of guys. My 9th grade bf was a tortured artist. His drawings spoke to me and his guitar playing sent me into a lovely obyess. He looked just like Rafa when Rafa's hair was shoulder length. Sometimes I still wonder where he is and what he's doing but I found that out the other day and he is engaged with child. Not so hot.

So everyone can jump on the Rafael Nadal bandwagon along with me, let me give you some important details so you sound knowledgeable.
1. He grew up and lives on the island of Mallorca, Spain.
2. His gf's name is Franchesca and they met through his little sister.
3. Sponsored by Nike.
4. LOVES chocolate croissants. If you haven't tried one, you must! Whole Foods has the best.
5. He listens to Phantom of the Opera before he gets on the court. Pumps him up.
6. Hair looks best shoulder length, in sleeveless shirts, and Nike head wraps.
7. In the land of Spain he is followed like a movies star and Spain says that "Rafa defines Spain"

VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!
Hopefully one day I'll get to go see him in person but for now I just intensely watch the Tennis Channel. I suggest you do the same.

Peace and Love,
