Pretty in Pink

One Fabulous Mom tagged me to share my top 5 favorite pink things. That is VERY hard! I had a hard time narrowing down my list but here are my favorites (DC edition, non-clothing items):


PB Teen necklace holder, Palm Gifts cosmetic bag, heart shaped box that holds my bracelets


Just got this at Target. It holds my smaller purses/bags


Lilly Pulitzer bed skirt


Pink and brown chair from Target (with my new toile pillow!)


Elephant bookend from Target


Pink lamp shade


Pink dresser (I am trying out the brown flower decals. What do you think?), with my Target damask tray (and of course Elton in the back ;) )

***Inauguration photos will be posted tomorrow!***

Photos from the next Gossip Girl episode, "You've Got Yale":

I LOVE Blair's coat!

I like Serena's stripe top (dress?)

Photos from the CW

We Are One concert

Did you all catch the concert on HBO? Well I was there! M, K, J and I headed over early yesterday morning to get prime spots for the show. It was warmer today (so happy) and an experience I will never forgot. This was the first time I ever heard a president speak live. My favorite photos:

Me and K (note my Vineyard Vines hat-kept me very warm!):


When Obama was speaking (my zoom is awful!):


Snipers on the roof:


See that pink thing by the tree?


It's a Vineyard Vines whale!

Bride Wars

InStyle has a lookbook for Bride Wars. I loved the fashion in the movie!

Liv in a Burberry coat, Emma in green Vera Wang Lavender coat (LOVED this one)


I love Emma's Marc Jacobs dress


What did we all think of Liv's Vera Wang wedding dress? I really liked the ribbon/bow look


Emma's dress was supposed to be "vintage," from her mother. Did you know it was designed by Vera Wang too?

Happy weekend!

Don't forget to vote for my entry over at Life in the Cove. Go here: #5!

1. Stay warm! This Southern California girl is having a hard time with a wind chill of -1. Yep, I am even wearing long underwear!
2. Get ready for Inauguration updates! I am heading downtown for work today and will try to take some photos of the setting-up. I am also (fingers crossed) going to brave the crowds and attend the huge concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday.
3. Next week I will be doing a Tucker Blair GIVEAWAY!
4. If you have not already emailed me (or commented) about the DC/MD/VA meetup, please do so ASAP! More updates will come next week after this craziness is over.

One last visit to Homegoods

Before I left LA I stopped at Homegoods. Tons of Vera Bradley plus some new finds!


Pink and green toile pillow. SO tempting!


Pink and green polka dot backets


Blue and white toile duffel


Pink and brown polka dot storage boxes

What I bought:

This anchor picture frame was on clearance!

And lastly, one of my best finds EVER:

Kate Spade Manners book! I will keep looking for the other Kate Spade books

New at The Crew

I am back in the bitter cold (of course it warmed up in LA right after I left) and already looking forward to spring!

This outfit would be perfect for sightseeing on my upcoming cruise:


I love this dress!


And this one is so pretty too:


Let's hope I have a job to wear this outfit to:


I need these these shorts:


Beautiful bow clutch:


There is ALWAYS room for another elephant in my collection! Necklace


Off topic but: Does anyone have LL Bean discount codes or free shipping codes??

Monogram your Herve too!

A lot of you commented on my Herve Chapelier bag that I got monogrammed. Here is your chance to get your own! A while back the amazing Kappa Prep posted about really cheap (but totally authentic) Herve bags on ebay (I bookmarked the post of course). Here is her post and the ebay seller: here. These bags are perfect to monogram! They are way less expensive so you won't feel guilty (1) spending money on the monogram or (2) buying multiple if you change your monogram in the future (for all you soon to be brides!)

Starting 2009 off right!
