Bondage

I think I love the packaging more than the fragrance.

Isn't She Lovely?

Isn't she wonderful?

Have A Merry Christmas

Back To Life, Back To Blogging.

I miss it. I won't attempt to lie to myself or you into believing I will commit to blogging every day or week. But I will commit to blogging more.

A Rose By Any Other Name...

Valentine's Day is filled with candy,stuff animals,cards and most of all flowers,especially roses. I told my hubs forgo the plant life(which die eventually). I told him I will take my "stems" in the form of pair of dusty rose Christian Louboutin 'Moirismo' espadrilles. I think I made the right decision. Happy Valentine's Day. Smooches.

The Fact About Fiction

Remember when you wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer? What? I can't be the only one? I believe Dance Fever fueled my love for the color gold. I think secretly my feet were more disappointed that the show was cancelled than I was. So imagine my feet's surprise when they hear that Chanel, the pioneers of producing the most sought after nail lacquer around, has a LIMITED EDITION(yes I am yelling...my two favorite words) polish named Gold Fiction. It is not a pale gold or a dusty gold. Not 10 kt,14kt or but gold gold...18kt. The goldminers of 49 would feen at first glance. The application is so smooth but what else do you expect from Chanel? As I am painting, I can feel each of my toes eagerly awaiting its turn to be dressed up in metallic love. Is possible that this precious liquid element is flying under the rador? I walked right into Nordies and snatched one right up. At $30 a pop, mind you. But it was so worth it. Forget having a pocket full of sunshine(sorry, Natasha). I have it in a 0.08 oz bottle.

Smooth Criminal

We have all heard the term"Killer Heels". I admit it could have a positive or negative spin. I personally prefer the former. I love em...low end...high end. Doesn't matter. Come to think of it, what red-blooded diva doesn't? It is encoded in our DNA. But there is,my friends, a very fragile line between love and hate. No matter how deep my love runnings for elevated footwear, I am realizing that regardless of which cost end I pluck from..well...heels are gonna hurt. Or so I thought. I believe Tamara Mellon(Founder and President of Jimmy Choo) has me eating humble pie and I hate pie. I bought my first pair of Jimmy Choos(style: Smooth in a metallic silver) . They are a classic staple in any glamozon's wardrobe. I love em. Can't stop wearing em. They fit like a glove. Like most couture works of art, the craftmanship is exquisite. Much to my delight, they feel like an eighteen hour bra but for feet. Now don't misunderstand, heels are heels, ladies...so eventually all of them will turn on your pedals in the end. Remember we all want the same thing: pretty shoes but don't want to end up with dead "Dawgs" walking!

Just a Touch

When I miss out on a hot beauty product...let's just say...I am not a Camp Rock alum. Picture it: Bloomies 2006/07, YSL releases the best on the go nail product ever: Nail Touch. I wrestled internally. Should I get it? Do I really need it? Other cosmetic companies had similar products, so why spend the extra for YSL? Before I could finally make up my mind to take the plunge...it was 'N Sync...GONE! I was informed that it was L.E. But there were rumors of a revival coming soon. So I waited on the regret sideline. Boy was it lonely but worth the wait. Besides the following facts:

1. One-handed operation(yes...I can carry baby on my hip and paint my nails at the same time).
   


2. An array of 4 color choices: 1 Crystal, 2 Beige, 3Pink(my choice), 4Pearly.
   


3. The packaging is darling in a metallic gold(biased I am).
   


4. It delivers loooooong lasting wear.

It dries ultra fast. I have things to do. Waiting for nails to dry when I know I have a diaper to change is not one of them. Which makes the Touch the bestest. Chicettes unite. Raise your golden nail varnish wheeling wand high in the air or tuck it in your back pocket and head out the door.

Satin Touch

Is it possible to have a crush on an object? I am in love with Chanel's latest must have item: Black Satin. Nail polish for those not in the know. It's black. Midnight black. Vamp black. Onyx black. So chic. I must say my toes look foward to being sexed up fully coated in satin. It is not only popular with me but with almost every it fashionista. I heard it was the official must have color to wear at MTV VMAs. It is two of my favorite words: Limited Edition. But that was what was said about Chanel's all time top seller: Vamp. It is sold out most places. But I know where to buy it in bulk. But to quote Brittany Muphy in Don't Say a Word..."I'll Never Tell". Smooches

Dior, My Dear, Watson

After westling the Dillard's department store invite to preview the new Dior cosmetic fall line out of my husband's hand. He tried to say it was his since it was addressed to him. That was a mere technicality. There was a free Dior necklace at stake and he was playing. Anyways, during my visit to the counter, I encountered my next treasture: Dior Detective Palette. Dior's answer to Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compact. And to think I almost cheated on one of my favorite Cosmetic lovers. I have to give props to Ms. Brown. The Compact kept calling me. No, seriously, it kept calling me with debit card in hand. Dior must have sensed my wandering eyes. Now I am thinking should I buy now(Ebay has corrupted me) or let someone bless me with it as Christmas present? Must...fight...erge to buy now. Must...stand...ground. Will...not...bend...to Dior's will. Heck,I am going to lunch. I need to clear my mind...at the Dior counter. Shamed. Smooches.

Summertime in Venice

Why is it a new hairdo gives you a new attitude? Most women dye or cut their hair. But as you know I have to take it to the next level. For the summer, I got a half wig. Hey don't judge me. I had to cut my hair and now it is in the "inbetween stage". So I had no choice, so there. Her name is Venice Girl. I actually look oh so chic with her placed upon my head. What does my husband think you might ask? Well he loves it only because it is like he cheating on me with...me. Smooches.

Break Out the Bubbly

I have decided the turn over a new leaf: take better care of myself. First by starting with the small stuff: nails. Recently returned from ATL. While visiting the Lenox Mall(it is like putting gas in my car, I have to go), I stopped in the Kate Spade boutique. Picked up the much wanted gold metallic card case. Now you would think that was my only obsession. The SA had the world's cutest manicure with the world's cutest nail polish. I could not take my eyes off of her hands. I had to know the name: OPI's Bubble Bath. It universally looks great on anyone's hands. In keeping with my "new leaf", recently went in for a manicure and requested Bubble Bath. Even the manicurist was impressed;however, she didn't honor my OPI Black Onyx request. That is another talkshow topic in itself. So now I am stuck: should I continue to pamper myself and get a manicure every 2 weeks(FYI: doesn't even last for a good week) or should I just buy the dang polish and ditch the $18-$20 plus tip per salon visit expense? Yeah that is what I thought, there goes another "new leaf" blowing in the wind. Smooches.

Glazing the Trail

Think of the wonderful things that accompany the word glaze: chicken, donuts, lipgloss. Oh don't even act as if you didn't see that one coming. I have been on the never ending quest for chic gloss. Yes I could have just settled for any drugstore brand. But we are talking about me. I wanted something from a couture line of cosmetics that was transparent, non-sticky and would send any lipgloss loving chicette spinting to her nearest beauty counter. I have to first give credit where credit is do: Jennifer Lopez. She mentioned that she buys one lipgloss in bulk: Chanel Glossimer in Glaze. Could it be that great? It was not like she was the official spokesperson for Chanel. And how come I had not heard about it. I mean even through my Dior induded gloss overdoses, I have not once recall ever hearing any Chanel Glossimer devotee whispering that is was the holy grail of lip wear. At that point, I knew I needed a hit. At first I thought ok I am brown like a crayon. There is no way that I would every be able to wear that color. For crying out loud it was pink...PINK!!! Once the beauty associate removed the wand from the tube, the hook was in my mouth. Can Jen's lipgloss binge be warrented? Can it be that this lipgloss holds the Uber title? Yes to both. I have cleared out my makeup bag to allow only for IT and well the Dior sparkle lip palette(it has a mirror). I am after all a Dior addict. I refuse to stand before and tell you that I have sworn off buying anymore glosses. But I must admit,I await each moment(long wear) to dress up my kisser. And it makes my smooches much more meaningful if my lips are coated in Chanel. Smooches.

Double Take

It has been a long time since I have been to my old fashion forum stomping ground:VIP. Decided to pop in and low and behold, I chanced upon one of the most beautiful pair of shoes I have ever seen. Of course you know that price is no object when it comes to obtaining foot candy. But I was blessed to have found the same shoe at a fraction of the original. I love Couture and I don't feel like I am cheapens myself by purchasing the more cost effective version. Imitation, my dears, is the most sincerest form of flattery. Christian Louboutin or the king of rare original ideas: Steve Madden. The price you might ask. One is for $345 and the other is for 129. Now honestly can you tell the difference? Oh doesn't it feel good to payless. Smooches.

Blackberry Molasses

For inquiring minds, I am not referring to single released by the 90's male R&B group Mista. So excited. Finally got it. "It" being a Blackberry pda. Based off of an executive decision made by my best friend. If it wasn't for her, I would be still looking at it in hopes of owning it one day. Well she had enough of the window shopping. And yes I am so delighted she forced her hand. I absolutely love it. Can't put it down. Constantly holding it in my hand like gold...Heck platinum. I don't think that I am capable of actually ever owning another phone if it does not have a functional keypad built in. For those who have been considering coming to the darkside that a Crackberry would induce, I have one comment to make: The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. Smooches.

What Happens In Cabos...

Hello, my name is DeeDee and I am a shoeaholic. Hi, DeeDee. Why is it that whenever I get a new pair of shoes I have to wear them with every and anything? Even if they don't match anything I am wearing. Say hello to my newly adopted babies: the Kate Spade Cabos in orange that you see to your left. Ya think it is too late to have a baby shower? I mean just ask my best friend and couture counselor, she will tell you of my insufferable whining about them since their conception 2 spring/summer seasons ago. I would like to give a shout out to Ebay for making it all possible. Ebay,I love you. You are my tiger, tiger burning bright. Smooches.

Plum Delight

Plum Sykes has done it again. The Debutante Divorcee has me on lock. I can't put it down. I read it every chance I get. I have to talk myself down from reading it at a traffic light. Bergdorf Blondes was simply wonderful. I knew I should have expected nothing but the absolute best from her sophmore release. I refuse to use adjectives such as "Whimscal" and "Witty" to describe it. They don't do it justice. "Ripe" is all I can say about this chicenstein of a novel. Yes...I said Chicenstein - taken from the book and my new favorite word. And What? Smooches.

No TORI and Us?

Totally love the show So Notorious on VH1. A must have if it is ever slated for dvd release. However, I have a concern. To your left you will see a character that goes by the name of "Nanny". Now is it just me or does it seem like whenever Tori or her mama says "Nanny" it sounds like they are saying "Mammy"? WHAT??? Don't look at me like that. I can't be the only one that has caught that. Inquiring minds would like to know. Smooches.

It's My Birthday and I Will Buy if I Want to

Happy...Happy Birthday, baby. Bring on the couture or cash, my adoring friends, family and obsessed fans. Smooches.

Living on the Wedge

I know you are wondering...no new,known obsessions?....PLEASE. Two word: wedge shoes. They are the heel without that unstable feel. Can't get enough. The make my calves look...YUMMY. Well to me atleast. Hey no comments some the peanut gallary. Note the comment option disabled. Don't push me cause I'm close to the wedge. Yeah I had to write and what? Smooches.

The British Are Coming

Does anyone miss the days of the Electric Eighties? Most of all, I miss the Rick Ashleys, Swingout Sisters and Basias of the world. So I have decided to dedicate my daily trips to and from work, in the month of March, to Brilliant British Artists. Let the tribute begin. Smooches.

Confessions of a Dior Addict

Being the faithful follower and avid collector of Dior trinkets that I am I have to admit I was in shock that I had not heard nor seen anything about the new beauty on the market. During my normal mid-afternoon Ebay browsing, I decided to search for Dior glosses. That was when I saw her. I nearly lost my lunch. How could this be? At first, I had to talk myself down. Thinking that only the Euro dames get to have this bauble all to them selves. At that point, I threw the expected tantrum and decided that I must have it *swallow* no matter the cost. I vowed long ago, never to let another desirable Dior goodie slip threw my well-manicured hands again. Called old, reliable: Sephora and of course they had it...for $70 BUCKS. I could not believe what I was hearing. Could it be one of my possible darlings was never gonna make itself at home among the many others that I have claimed? Le sigh! I said this one I will have to pass on. Out of sight out of mind, right? Until I happened to stop by Bloomie's to grab a bottle of Chanel nail polish in Vamp. SA told me they were out but to try the Dior counter if I am in need of a dark hue. I was like okay. What are chances that Bloomie's would have it and, if so, I must be strong and realize $70 is not worth it for lip gloss that I can wear on my wrist. I walk up to the counter, start to inquire about a dark shade of polish and there she was...all polished and glistening. Okay I say to myself. Get yourself together. You can do this. But the Dior demon popped up from out of nowhere and took a seat right on my shoulder popcorn, ready in hand. Is this reality I thought. All it did was utter four simple, little words: just try it on. So I obliged it. Just to "prove" that I could just walk away. Awww...heck once it hit my wrist I was done for. I glided to the checkout counter and yanked out my debit card. It wasn't me I tell ya…It was the one-armed man making the purchase. To this day, I will always say it wasn't me. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Heck what do you want from me? I have a problem and I refuse to seek help for my condition. Smooches.

God Don't Like Ugg-ly?

I am praying my heavenly Father will over look this. Yep...I finally broke. I..well..my hubby bought me some uggs(which stands for ugly according to research). In the color pink that I have been feening for. And I have been pushing them mugs or should I say uggs(lol) all weekend. I love them. So comfy and cozy. Guess what? My feet don't overheat. Which is brilliant. You know how a Glamourette is about heat. That is why I don't cook. Smooches.

Here, Kitty Kitty

Ok...let me begin by saying that one of my best friends not I is the Hello Kitty fanatic. However Hello Kitty Party Pals for Gameboy Advance is addictive. So addictive, that a dear friend of my hubby and I started to feen just playing the copy that I have. She mentions during her obssesive rave that she has to have it. I start to tell her be blessed attempting to locate it because it has been discontinued. Now a true giver would just say let her have the copy I currently have. The Devil is a liar. Then it hit me. I had an extra copy due to the fact that my fashion soul sister(the Hello Kitty feener) had already bought it. I was blessed not only with the task of giving her another game( Mario and Luigi : Partners in Time) but I had to return the HK. Bummer. In mid sentence, I got up like I was in a trance. My husband and her were like what is up. I would not answer them when they kept asking what was wrong. I was on a mission to locate the game to give to her. Yeah I could have had 20 bucks back in my pocket , but the look on her face. The unxpected look one has when they were not expecting to have their wish granted so quickly. She was using the scripture to it's fullest extent. Ask and she shall receice. And hey God loveths a cheerful giver. Smooches.

Dear Mr, Jesus

I wanted to be the first to wish you Happy Birthday,Jesus. Smooches.

Let's Hear It for the Boy

So you would think I would be rocking out to Christmas music. NOPE!!! I am in love....with Fall Out Boy's From Under The Cork Tree. I can't get enought of them. I am so miffed that I missed them at Hard Rock...here...in ORLANDO!!!! WAH!!!! Anyway, I listen in the car, at my job, in my dreams. I love them. However, their lyrics...well let us pray for them. If I had a Christmas list, I would be checking it twice. They are very naughty boys. Smooches.

Koo Koo for Cocoa

So my lips need a lil holiday cheer. So during my normal browsing of the internet, I discovered Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Gloss in Cocoa Sugar. It actually has flicks of gold. Yep. I said gold. I am not saying I'm a gold digger (insert Kanye West's joint);however, just looks like I eat Millionaires for lunch. Smooches.

Le Eye of Le Tigre

So I am obsessed with polos: Ralph, Lacoste ,Le Tigre. Le Tigre..le sigh. I have been on a major hunt for a Le Tigre polo ever since I gazed upon my reality star equal, Lo from Laguna Beach sporting one in solid Black. I had one already but it was white with a green collar. Love it; however, with a rack like mine...had to lose the white. Now I should have learned my lesson the when I see something in the store that I have been searching for...I need to buy it for crying out loud. But I let not one but two Le Tigre polos pass me by all the while letting the year round preppy green LT polo sit in the clearance aisle week after week after week. Finally I broke or more like snapped. And yes, my faithful readers, I am wearing it as I type this. Looks great with the Earl jeans that according Stacey London from TLC's What Not To Wear are not right for my body type. Yes I vowed to toss them post her visit to O's show but come on...they are Earls. Smooches.

Lucky Charm

So I tried my best, I repeat, my best NOT to purchase the Dior Diorplay Swarvoski encrusted darling. Since it was not in the color I wanted, I just didn't need it. Then fashion reality hit: Who cares if it is in beige...not like I bought it for it's lip color anyway. I did do an honorable thing and cancel my preorder for the Chanel shimmer and matching brush. I only have eyes for the bejeweled...bedazzled. Smooches

Now I'm Playing with Power

Finally I am stepping into the 90's: Got a Gameboy SP. New backlighting and all. Now just to head out and buy some girly games..tee hee hee. Smooches.

A Charmed Life

Tee hee hee! Who could possibly say no to a YSL charm bracelet aka Multi-Usage Palette? Especially with makeup attached. I had to jump on that mug since it carried the weighted words..."Limited Edition". Didn't help much that the SA said that there was only one left. Oh come on. It is not like I had a choice in the matter. I mean just look at her. In all her splendid glam glory. Yes, my lovely wrist, you will be graced with her presence soon. Smooches.

Move Over, Kristie Alley

So Saturday, I was just telling one of my best friends that I was just gonna settle for being at 140-145, weight that is. She was like, "Dee, you are so close why stop now if your initial goal weight was 135?" I just gave her the look as if to say...if you only knew. Let me be the first to tell you that I just knew since I have been hitting and missing on Weight Watchers lately that I just knew that I had ballooned up to 150-155. WRONG!!!!! Walked in Publix, where the "SCALE" awaits you as you walk in. My husband of course NEVER heistates to jump on it. I was like let me go first...let me get this over with. OMG!!! 144??? NO WAY!!! I am so proud of myself...so proud. See I realized that WW is not a DIET. It is a lifestyle. And one that I am committed to. Also realize that it is slowly pouring off due to my 15 minutes a day on the treadmill. And guess what? I am alright with that. 10lbs shy of my goal weight. You've come a long way, baby. Smooches.

I Am Ready for My Close-up, Mr. Deville

I always knew my inner European girl was French..tee hee hee.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

WHY? I said I would do FAST for the remainder of November because I want God to move in my life and I want to prove the love of my life...WRONG!!!! So now I am praying my beloved Heavenly Father will be so kind and let all the glam goodies I want still be available for purchase. Got to be strong. Must not break. In the word of the infamous Jason from MTV's Making the Band..."Is this Reality?" Smooches.

Isn't She Lovely

Isn't She Lovely? Tee hee hee. Finally a blog worth writing in. Yes, I should have let you know that I was on haitus til the unveiling was complete but le sigh...I was lazy. I have got to rebuke that out of my spiritman. So What do you think? Oh the comments option is not available you say. Oops! Smooches.
