Met Gala Gorgeous

Ashley Olsen never looked better. Here she is wearing vintage Christian Dior couture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala. Set against the sleek black bodice, those billowing sleeves are to die for! This look is so romantic; her bare shoulders framed by those sleeves and her softly unkept updo is so caliente! In this dress, a woman is saved, tended to and protected. Holy Harlequin romance novel!

Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh

It's been raining a lot. So my classic black umbrella is feelin' pretty cocksure. But this chick - barefoot with her handsome pup and her clear umbrella has caused me to rethink my rainy day routine. Are you ready for it? A clear umbrella for Spring & Summer, a black umbrella for Fall & Winter. This makes perfect sense to me. Why haven't I thought of this before?! (...What? Were you expecting rocket science or something?)

Raspberry Ice

Let there be color! KitchenAid launched the Raspberry Ice 5-quart Artisan Series Stand Mixer to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Cook for the Cure; a program in partnership with Susan G. Komen raising money for breast cancer research. 

The other day, I was walking through the buying department at work on my way to a meeting when the gleaming hotness of this mixer stopped me dead in my tracks.  It was sitting all by its lonesome on a buyer's desk.  Needless to say, I want one.

Hunter Curzon

Well aren't these cute! The Hunter Original Wellington Boot is so widespread, I never expected to see anything beyond new patterns and shapes of the original boot. So the Hunter Curzon Ballerina Flat is a surprise addition to their line of waterproof footwear. The Curzon is like the waterproof version of the classic Chanel two-toned flat.  Cute, chic AND practical!  Now, which color do I want...

Pantalon Rouge

I want red pants. How fabulous does this chick look in her red pants and tan shirt?! I think you might have to be narrow hipped to pull these off, which I most certainly am not, but I'm willing to give them a try. Paired with the green bag, this outfit is red hot!
