around

I'm still around. I've really been lacking in posting so please forgive me. I've been occupied with John Mayer's new album, Born and Raised (yes, you need it!). And I've joined the bandwagon and starting reading Fifty Shades of Grey. It's an entertaining and easy read  so the times flies by once you sit down and start. I'm on the third book so hopefully I get back to posting my regularly. Have you read the book? What are your thoughts? Will you see the movie? Who should they cast?

Last week, everyone was buzzing about the new trailer for The Hunger Games.  I was out of the loop. I hadn't read any of the books in the series. Well, I have quickly changed that. I immediately went out and purchased the first book in the trilogy and was hooked from the first page. I just finished the first one and am now onto the second. I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out in March. I highly recommend the reads before then though. Oh, and how perfect is the Stella & Dot On The Mark necklace for this series? Have you read the books? Thoughts? Excited for the movie?

Take a look at the trailer and you'll be sucked in too.

Allure

I am reading the wonderful book "All You Need To Be Impossibly French: A Witty Investigation Into The Lives, Lusts, And Little Secrets Of French Women". I just finished the chapter on how French women view lingerie. It is a very fun read for any wannabe French girl.

Buy it here.

French women are so sophisticated, glamourous, and seductive. Here are some photos from one of my favorite French girl's fashion blog....Le Blog de Betty.

do you secretly long to be French too?

(or at least have an ounce of their style and class)

I miss them.

I loved the Berenstain Bears! Gosh, I need to find these books again. Why did we ever give them away?! Ebay, here I come.

Pick your side

Sometimes I like to act like I am still a 13 year old girl. Meaning....I love my Twilight books and movies. I saw New Moon last night and it was a major improvement from Twilight (not hard to do though). So now it is time for a poll. Yippee!

So whose team are you on? Team Edward? or Team Jacob?

(I am Team Jacob. I have been on his team since I read the books a long while back. Edward is dull to me.)

Add it to the bookshelf

I am pretty sure this book was made with me in mind. I might have to pick it up from Urban Outfitters.

Come fly with me

I am interrupting this as getting on a plane and traveling. That is what I want to do right now. Give me the boarding pass and I'll bring my passport. Let's go.
