Mood: Head throubbing... very happy... sleeepyyy...

I has about the WORST migrane last night... I swear, I wanted to rip my head off. And trust me, I had NO plands of leaving the comfort of my home... But then B called, that his sister was giving birth today and I was up and running.  We babysitted his niece, and furute to be, mine too, and at around 7 pm, little baby Andrea was born. She's really tiny and she needs a lot of special care, but with the help from God and all the nurses and doctors, she'll be fine and big and strong in no time. Anyway, I'm absolutely estatic about the news, but of course, in no mood for clothes, so I pulled on some sweatpants and off I went! And now, after showing my true commitment to my blog, it's difinitely bed time. Na-night! -Rx.

Weather: CLoudyish
Mood: SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY (I could go on with the so's for ever, trust me)

I am, so, so, so, so, SO sorry for my absence, this last weeks have been absolutely mad... MAD I TELL YOU... My bf's sister is in the hospital, my mum broke her back (nothing terrible, don't worry, she's fine, but still), dad's out of town, everything does everything wrong! UGH. Still, nothing can ruin my day, because as you probably recall, I've been really happy and not told you why... Well, I just wanted all my friends to hear it from me first before I told the rest of you, but... I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B proposed!!!!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!!! I am the HAPPIEST person IN the world!!! OMG, it still hasn't quite sunk in. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Sorry. I'm just really excited and I love telling people. It was like my happiest day, IN MY LIFE. I mean it was sooo perfect. Anyway, as you can imagine, I have tons to do. The big day is May 12, but you cannot imagine everything there is to do planning wise. It's crazy! Anyway, today, for example, I'm going to visit two card shops to check them out. Next week, appointment with the cake person, Saturday I'm trying out dresses (just for the fun of it, becuase actually, I already have mine all planned out) and all my friends are going and it's going to be amazing. It would be perfect it D, my bff, was here, and I'm soooooooooo sad she's not, becuase well, she's my VBFF, but she's with me in heart, and I'll just bb pictures to her and it'll be fine. Anyway, for now I need to get some food in my stomach and leave before it starts to pour down with rain. Love ya all! -Rx.

Mood: I'm so happy I might busrt into tiny pink and red hearts

You have NO idea how happy I am, and how happy I've been since Saturday night. Let me just tell you, fairytales don't only happen in books and in a alnd far, far away. They happen to ordinary people like you and me. But that's not what today's blog is about. Today's bolog is about me having to leave becuase I have plenty to do before lunch, plus I have to go hang a painting in B's office becuase well, it's aufully white. By the way, I kind of picked it out and he approved, which is great becuase it's a picture of NY so he can remmeber every day that that's where we're going to spend New Years and then after I can give him a nice pic to put in his office! I'm soo excited, but you already knew that, didn't you? -Rx. 

September 3, 2011

Location: Bogota, Colombia
Weather: Very cloudy
Mood: Worried

I seriously don't know how I'm going to get everything done. Or I do, actually. I've done quite the part today, and I can carry on working this afternoon at B's house, and then I'll get up eraly tomorrow and finish the rest. It'll be fiiine. I'm an overworrier. Breath in. Breath out. There. Now stop worrying. On a happier note, I'm very happy about today's outfit. I felt like legwarmers and ballet flats which I managed to convey perfectly well into a skirt and a long sleeve T (no need to freeze to death in this horrid weather) but I still look quite nice. You know? I've been wondering why people love jeans so much. I mean they're fab becuase they're totally fahsionable, and they go with everything, and you can get them in a great variety of styles, shapes, sizes and now colors... but why do people enjoy using a blue denim uniform in their every day lives? I’ve never loved a pair of jeans. Ever. I've worn them hundreds of times, and I now own quite a few pairs, but really loved them like I love my pink Chanel stilettos? Never.  I remember in sixth grade when, for some reason or another, the powers that be announced, we’d have a Jeans & T-shirt Spirit Day coming that Friday. For the kids who wore jeans and t-shirts everyday, this was no big deal. But I went home and panicked. Not only did I not really own t-shirts since my mother insisted on my looking like a minature version of her, (don't ask, I might be a fashion lover now, but I've had my wardrobe issues, trust you me...) and I really don’t think I had jeans either. NO seriously, I didn't. My mother and I had to go to the mall to buy an ensemble for me to match the rest of kids. In fact, I can probably count on two hands the amount of times I wore jeans in my early years. That's all changed of course since eventually my mum accepted the fact that jeand were a fact of life and that she couldn't dress me up like a Jane Austen character for ever, becuase I was growing into my own self and out of her grasp, wardrobewise, at least. Anyway,  I still don’t understand what’s so wonderful about them. I’d rather wear a pair of sexy, tight black pants any day! Or a beautiful skirt. Or shorts. Or anything else really. I mean just becuase society thinks they're so great doesn't means we all have to agree right? Whn have you ever seen Carrie or Charlotte or even Samantha Jones from Sex and the City wear jeans? Or the girls from Gossip girl? Is it a "No jeans in NY thing?"  doubt it. THey just have a better dress ence that us. Even if the white dress with the ginomous petunia is a tad too much... -Rx.

Pa pa parara, pa pa parara, pa pa para raraaaaaa, START SPREADING THE NEWS, I'M LEAVING TODAYYYY... Ok, I'm not leaving today per se, but I'M GOING TO SPEND NEW YEARS UNDER THE MAGIC TIME SQUARE BALL! I sooo need to het my outfit ready! I need to look très chic, mais pas plus le faire et, bien sûr rester au chaud! It will be snowing after all, and there's no need to catch pneumonia, right? Anyway, I'm in such a NY mood today, I'm even wearing one of Jenny Humphrey's favorite atuendos, leggings and a dress shirt, and of course, heels! And so little J was Brooklyn, she moved! I would go for a much more Serena look but I don't live in NY and going out half naked here is not properly seen... Anyway, I love NY! I've only been once but I'm totally going back this Dicember! OMG!!!! I'm way to excited. I really need to think what I'm wearing, plus, packiing for cold weather is so hard becuase everything takes up so much space! Damn suitcases. In any case, and for now, heels and pearls, heels and pearls... It'll be fine. If you have any great New Years standing in the blistering cold but looking absolutely fab advice, please write. I'm going to need all the help I can get. Jolly-ho! -Rx.

Mood: reallly excited...hehehe

Forget your Coach purse. Put away your Kate Spade. Even Hermes's famous Birkin bag seems positively discount. The Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork is this summer's ultimate status bag, ringing in at $52,500. And it is arriving in Washington by the end of the season, ordered by a woman whose circumstances and identity the company has ever so politely (again and again) declined to disclose. The company made the bag that special not only by price tag and design -- 14 LV bags were cut up and sewn together to make it -- but also by offering only five for sale in North America and 24 worldwide. I know R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles’ got one. The other four? Their names have not been revealed. Anyway, this is going to sound really ridiculous to those of you who haven't watched leap year, which btw you totally should, but I'm buying a Louis!!!! Not a huge one like the one Anna Brady had, just a cabin bag, and of course not the $52,500 LV Tribute patchwork, trust me, if I had won the lottery you would know, because I would have taken the next plane out and would have stopped mysteriously blogging! (Now every time I don’t blog don’t think I’ve won the lottery, because I haven’t. How do I know I’m not going to win it? Because I don’t buy lottery tickets; that’s why.) So I’m not rich and I’m buying my very subtle mini luggage at an outlet super discount store, but whatever! Louis is Louis!! I just found this fabulous outlet and it's going to be great because my pink cabin bag broke which was absolutely heartbreaking but, moving on, I'M GETTING A LOUIS!!! So that should be fun. But after a lot of meditation I decided I have to control myself and order it so it arrives at Orlando, while I'm there in October (OMG I'm going to Orlando!!!) and not get it shipped here because well, it's much too expensive, right? So now I really want to get on that plane. BTW, Have I told you I'm spending new years in NYC? 'Cos I am and I can just picture myself walking into JFK with my Louis Vuitton saying "HELLOOOO NEW YORK!!" haha OK enough with the brand publicity. Let's get down to business. The weather's a dumbfall, I'm most likely not going out, and if I don, I'm driving. I'm not seeing B today (soccer). I'm not seeing anyone else either (my hair is at it's worst - tomorrow it'll all be over, thank God.) IT'S THE PERFECT DAY TO WEAR REALLY HIGH STILETTOS WHICH I CAN'T WALK IN! Why do I have them, then you might ask? Because they're pretty, and at the time I thought I aught to learn how to walk in heels. (I mean, I know how to walk in heels, but 4" heels, not 100"!) Anyway, so I thought it was a good idea at the time.... And as long as I'm confessing stuff, I'm really regretting this whole I HAVE TO WEAR ALL  OF MY SHOES BEFORE I CAN REPEAT rubbish. I mean it's a good lesson for me not to buy shoes I'm not going to wear. I've even decided which shoes I'm giving away when I move out (it's not happening yet, don't freak out - or those of you who want the shoes, don't get excited just yet.) I just figured why have shoes I'm never going to wear. I know stilettos are fashionable, but I'm just not a stiletto gal. I'm a ballet flat type. Of course I'm not giving away all my heel shoes. Just a couple. Maybe even the ones I'm going to wear today... who knows... They're really pretty. REALLY REALLY PRETTY. But... I don't know. I'll think about it when the time comes. By now you must really be wondering which shoes I'm talking about... Well... I kind of have two in mind. So just let me think about it for a bit... Ok, I love these shoes, but they are seriously high. I've gone for my taupe Stradivarius mary jane heels. The're trully something... something WAY to high! hahaha. Anyway, jeand, white T, taupe matching handbag and a taupe sweater. If it fits, wear it! ;) Lov ya guys (I'm talking to my shoes...) -Rx.
