Dignity Intact...

{This sums up my Weekend. Well. Minus the swimming. But, you get the point...}

Thank you for you kind thoughts on my Thanksgiving post. Starting my own company is def worth the material sacrifices. I hope you all had wonderful weekends!

I was out til 5 am last night, and I'm too old for this...plus does anyone else feel like they need a vacation from their holiday weekend? Please and Thank you.

It was mostly good times all around, with some emotions up and down. (Andddd I'm a poet now? Cool.)

I bought this badass studded Free People headband that I love. On that note-I'm staying brunette at least through the holidays. There are lot's of photo's happening this time of year, and I just don't want to risk it. Vain, party of one. I know. Sue me. Also bought 2 more bottles of Essie Mint Candy Apple. Best believe if you're my winner, one is coming your way. It totally kicks the Chanel version out of the water.

Speaking of...I'm going to announce the winner tomorrow. Ya'll should know by now I am never on time with these things. But it's one more day to enter, so yay!!

I'm going to be doing a new series around here! Starting Wed, I'll be getting my ass handed to me a few times a week by my friend Steven the Personal Trainer, and he has agreed to do a weekly column/series on It's Unbeweavable! He's accredited, certified, hot and hilarious. We're going to do video blogs, and he'll answer all your fitness and health questions. I'm excited to actually loose weight around the holidays instead of vice versa as per usual. Suck it Jillian! (Hooker)

Thank God, because I was so hungover on Friday morning perusing the crazy deals on Amazon, I was thisclose to losing all my dignity and buying...Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders:Power Squad Bod! Cardio Blasting Dance. HA! I blame the intense hangover. And also? MODG! But I forgive her, it was her birthday on Thanksgiving. I'm totally getting it for her for Christmas.

And lastly...besos loves. Brace yourselves. I DID NOT see New Moon! I KNOW, the HORROR OF IT ALL. Somehow, someway, I'm surviving. But I look like a vampire in this picture according to Mayra, so there ya go.

{This is a big picture. Oh boobs. Anyway, Team Liz. bwahaha.}

Happy Monday! UGH this is going to be a toughie. :) Oh, but it's Cyber Monday. RAWR. Are you shopping??!

OH! So I just found out that my girl, Miss Mandizzle is having a fabulous Cyber Monday sale! I die. Check it out here. :)

I'm Rich

Lately, I've been feeling stressed about money. Starting my own company has been a rewarding, yet humbling experience. Even writing that, admitting to the world that I am stressed about money is humbling. It's hard, I'm not used to it. I have the freedom, but I don't have the security of a nice paycheck direct deposited in my account every two weeks without fail.

I have to be honest. It's been stressing me out, causing my anxiety to soar, for me to shut down and be a ball of worry. Not cute. Not happy. Not thankful.

I wasn't going to post today but in reading so many of your wonderful Thankful lists and Gratitude posts, I got a reality check.

I feel that as bloggers, as fashion bloggers as so many of us are, sometimes we loose ourselves in the next big purchase, the shoes she has that we need now, etc. I am only speaking for myself here that I have felt the pressure to keep up...never before have I had hundreds of people caring about the contents of my closet.

Fashion is my passion. It's what I do. Straight outta high school to FIDM to working in the industry. It is separate from shopping and keeping up with the joneses. I'm not saying I won't be shopping, or won't be buying a new pair of Loubies, that I won't be filling up this blog with Balmain or things I DIE over anymore. OF COURSE I WILL, duh! But...

Today...I am thankful for what I have. I am thankful that I have my family, my best friends who catch me when I am falling, a little dog who brings me a toy every time I walk in the door, a roof over my head, a car, food, that I never go without. I am thankful I am loved, and that I love, deeply. I am thankful that Black Label Media Group might be small now, but it's going to be HUGE. I am thankful that my heart is mending, and that I have some great and sexy (ohh wee) options on the table. I am thankful I have some great hair. I am thankful for Gabby, best wombmate ever. I am thankful for wine. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for the opportunities I have and my bright future. I am also extremely thankful for peanut M&M's. Just sayin.

I am very thankful that you are here. I started this blog almost a year ago, never expecting any of well...this. I hope that I have touched your lives as much as you have touched mine and we can continue to support each other on our journeys.

I am rich, in the best way ever.

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from me. I heart you.

Bigger is Better...

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

Focus, Liz, focus. Many of you asked me about the large picture thing so instead of emailing individually...I'm lazy...here you go! I'm a giver. NOTE-I suck at "techy" stuff. NOTE-This is only if you use Photobucket. NOTE-If it doesn't work, I'm sorry, I love you but this is all I've got.

It's pretty easy. Meaning...

1. Upload your pictures to photobucket.

2. Copy the "Direct Link" Code

3. Go to Add an Image like normal but paste the link where it says "Add Image From Web"

4. YAY big ass pictures of your face for everyone to judge. :)

5. There are some resizing things you can do as well, depending up on the width of your posts...but just mess around with it because I can't explain it. See above NOTE-I suck at techy stuff.

{Yay works}

Class dismissed.

In other news, I won't be posting much because like many of you, I'm going to be super busy! But I will be commenting and stalking! I'll announce the winner of my giveaway on Monday...I am SO excited to see who who the winner(s) are, this is def the most fun giveaway I've ever done and I'm kinda blushing that ya'll want something from me. I like to lie to myself and tell me it's that rather than just wanting free stuff! :) It's going to be pure personalized badass hauteness with maybe a little sweetness thrown in too! That's a mouthful. (TWSS) I'm on a roll...

Moving right along. This week...

• High School crush. We have a quasi H.S reunion this week because everyone is home for the holiday, and he's dragging me along. Was totes planning on being an anti-social hag and sitting it out. WHAT TO WEAR?! HELP!! SRSLY!!
• If I lived in a perfect world, this little badass ensemble from Netaporter would do.
  {Why yes. Those are sequined jeggings. I die.}

• Thanksgiving-YUM and Wii bowling. I plan to dominate again this year. TOSSES WEAVE!
• FINALLY seeing New Moon with my wombmate.
• Meeting one of my favorite blog lovers Alicia and her adorable brother family! SO EXCITED, this pretty lady is one of my dearest!
• Mad retail therapy. Oops I meant Christmas shopping. But I don't do that whole Black Friday stuff, do you? I can't deal, especially not at 4 am. If it's your thing though, more power to you. I get crazy Colombian in situations like that.

I'm thankful for so many things this year. I am thankful for you and your daily rays of sunshine, and I really mean it. I hope those of you who are Stateside have a fabulous Thanksgiving with family and friends, and if you don't celebrate, have a great rest of your week...Happy Thanksgiving dollfaces!

P.S. I wasn't joking ya'll. What should I wear??

I Brake For Brunettes...

Well, these are some extremely large pictures of me from a spur of the moment bathroom photo sesh this weekend. Thanks to Brunch at Saks and Dream Sequins for showing me how to use larger pictures (I'm challenged), and this is just for testing purposes. I want to do makeup how to's etc, and blogger's teeny pictures don't cut it. So here I am. Hi. Not used to seeing my mug so big up in this piece, kinda trippin me out...If you're my FB friend you've seen these, I totes blew my load over there. HA.

As you can see, I'm still a brunette. Boo. I've had the most frustrating time finding a stylist who will grow some balls and turn me platinum. HELLO?! I live in Southern Cali. Hardly anyone has natural blonde hair here. I left my appt on Saturday near tears, which is THE worst feeling, right? If you follow me on Twitter, you know I was not happy. I think I said "she jacked up my bangs" lit-rilly 6 times. I have some prospects on the horizon...good lord I am this close to taking matters into my own hands! But I won't. Yet.

{Not pleased with my new bangs AT ALL. Not what I wanted. Oh well.}

{Giving her the stank eye. Mmmhmm don't mess with my hair, biatch}

Anyways. High school crush has reared his ugly gorgeous head again. You know the feeling where you're having innocent midday coffee with someone and all you want to do is jump over the table and have your way with him because you can't stop thinking of the shirtless pictures you saw of him on FB , but I mean it's Starbucks, and you're classy, and it's complicated and yeah...but my my....

His picture in my senior year yearbook has a heart around it. Awww's all around. He was hot then, and hotter now. And funny, witty and complicated. To clear up any confusion-I am single! Which means...OPTIONS OPEN! Fun, fun...10 years later.

I think I just said too much. WHAT ELSE IS NEW.

I'm super excited about all the entries into my It's The Little Things Giveaway! And yay for the lurkers who came out and are now non lurkers! I am excited to get to know you, seriously. I love reading what brightens your days!! You guys are so fun. For the record, ya'll brighten my days too. Sorry I've been a bad commenter, but I'm back in action.

Been asked about my lipstick-M.A.C Please Me-A very true pink...don't say you can't pull it off because you totally can. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN! I LOVE YOU!

It's The Little Things Giveaway!

Yay! You're all still here! I didn't scare you off with my crazy. Yet...Anyways, I'm feeling much better. The second glass of wine I'm drinking is definitely might be helping. It's the little things, ya know...

Right now, some little things brightening my day...Essie Mint Candy Apple nail polish, Creme Brulee latte's or whatever they're called from the bux, surprise mail from blog friends, hair appointments (finally), Thursday night TV, texts from my bests while they're at New Moon, and above mentioned wine. YAY.

Today I found out that I was featured on Handbago as a Fashion Blog they are currently loving and I'm very honored. Nearly drove me to tears, holy unstable, party of one. But seriously, so sweet! Made my day!!

Now I want to make your day. One of you. Or maybe a couple. My giveaways are usually sponsored by my FABULOUS sponsors to the left to the left, but this time I want to do one from me to you. Liz's It's the Little Things Giveaway. A way to thank you for holding it down for me day in and day out, making me laugh, cry and accepting me always. The thing is, I don't know what exactly I'll be sending...but I guarantee it'll be fabulous and brighten your day. Little things I love, things I die over, and maybe some things I know you love too.

Attention fabulous lurkers/non commenters/twitter followers!!! I want you to enter this too. Got it? So just this once...do it kthx!

"Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live"-Anais Nin (My absolute favorite)

I'm frustrated and lonely.

I'm not one of those bloggers who only posts about happy stuff.

I'm sorry.

I wish I were.

Sometimes I cuss, and sometimes I want to wear shirts with cuss words on them.

I'm sorry if this offends you.

I'll be back to Balmain and butterflies soon.

In a week I'll be with my family, eating lots of my Daddys bomb food-we skip "traditional" Thanksgiving fare (I think it's foul anyway) and have filet, etc instead, drinking one/four of his margaritas and kicking everyone's ass at Wii bowling.

Even grandma, although that crazy Colombian puts up a good fight.

I will be thankful.

So very thankful, because I lead a so very blessed life.

I'm just having a hard week.

Like B says, a week where I wish I could step out of my head.

As much as I love shoes and clothes and all that fun stuff...there's more important things consuming me.

Considered not posting but hey, my blog. And it makes me feel better.

So please don't judge me or leave me, I'd miss you, I love ya'll. So very much.

Let the Twilight madness begin!

And a big Happy Birthday and virtual hug to my girl D at Dream Sequins, my apologies for missing your tea party. It looks fabulous.

Maybe I'll get my shit together in time for round 2 :)

Don't Mess...

Seems like the collabs will never end! My thoughts on the subject...are not going to be revealed. HA. I'm totes remaining neutral. Something NOT neutral? Louise Goldin Spring 2010 for Topshop. Suck it, Jimmy. This is true badassery. A hint of Louboutin without the price and they scream, "Don't grab my ass unless you want these kicked in your junk, douche." Fashion that protects with spikes and studs on a 5inch heel!? Something I might actually stand in line for! Or refresh my browser over and over for, whatev. I know they aren't for everyone...but as a family, can we all just appreciate these shoes for what they are. Pure, unbeweavable, unapologetic badass. :)





That last pair...I.DIE.

No word on release date or price...thank you to Nitrolicious for the images.

Californication...

Hey dolls!

A little weekend re-cap, L.A Style...I feel like I played tourist in my own backyard this weekend which is kinda fun...Let's bullet point this ish.

• Friday night-Dinner and cocktails with Jessica. Good girl talk. It was nice to hang out with someone who is at the exact same place in life as me-"technically" single, career minded and just kinda going with the flow. It was super fun and badly needed. I wasn't having a very photogenic evening...I looked like casper next to Jess! Whatev, can't win em all! Speaking OF...COME ON LAKERS! Boo. Ok. Moving on...

• Then the boy came to meet up with us, and surprised me with a bottle of the rare vino we'd loved when we had dinner inside Disneyland a few weeks ago. Aw. Points!

• SATURDAY! Intended to sit on my bum, read blogs and watch T.V until getting ready for our dinner date but he surprised me again with...let's go to the Getty! Ok, I know it was a Saturday in L.A but the traffic was particularly more heinous than usual...and the Getty was so crowded. Like typical L.A folk, we hate crowds and tourists, so pass.

• On to Griffith Park, because why would that be crowded too? Ha, yeah...basically we would have had to park in Downtown L.A and hike all the way up, and I was wearing heels of course...but it was pretty driving up in the hills, listening to good music.

• Well. We tried. New plan...DRINKS! Tapas and sangria at the coolest, most authentic lil Spanish bar on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. I highly recommend Bar Pintxo. Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with Spanish cheese? Yum! Third street is a fun place to walk around and see some amazing, and some not so amazing street performers too.

• Then we went to see 2012. I hadn't heard of this movie because the action/adventure/end of the world genre is notsamuch my thing, but it was really good! Completely unrealistic and cheesy, but John Cusack can really do no wrong in my eyes and it seemed kinda fitting to see a typical Hollywood blockbuster after spending the day playing tourist in L.A.

• Do ya'll like my new blog design?! I LOVE IT! I wanted something so fresh and so clean clean...and my girl crush Annemarie from Brunch at Saks did an ahhhmazing job!! We talked on Friday and my blog was done by Sunday! We're still playing with a few things too. I love her to pieces and can't wait to hit some sample sales and force her to be my new L.A partner in crime! :) If you need any blog help, you must must must go to Annemarie! Srsly. Thank you lady, love you!

Happy Monday lovers! How were your weekends?!

Beauty Talk, Girl Talk, Link Love and Thank You's.

Can we talk about beauty for a hot minute? I keep forgetting I'm a make-up artist and start talking about my feelings and crap. zzzzz :)

This weekend I am DYING to get YSL's new mascara-Mascara Singulier. I've mentioned my bff/main gay Istvan before...

{Circa last year, Cafeteria, NYC...breakin rules, but havin fun.}

This lil text convo went down this week...let me preface by saying Istvan is a SERIOUSLY BADASS NYC makeup artist with an attitude so when he tells me something is amazing...it's amazing.

Istvan-Ok, so, the new YSL mascara has just filled a void in my life... I will never be the same.
Liz-WHAT MASCARA?
Istvan-New YSL, spiral brush, separates, lengthens something crazy, I like it better than Faux Cils! Fucking amazing!! It truly is life changing. It WILL repave your road.
Liz-BWHAHA! Well, my road does need some repaving lol...better than faux cils?

Istvan-NEIMANS! ASK FOR IT! GO!

{Daddy recommended. We shall see.}

In other beauty news, Perricone M.D's Cold Plasma?! Due to new bloggy rules, I have to disclose that they sent it to me for free. OK?! EVERYONE GOT THAT? HOWEVER! I never sell out up in here so rest assured I would never blog about it if I didn't love it. I put too much on the first night and freaked to Brooke, but now that I've been using it correctly and not like a toddler for a week my skin is crazy smooth and glowing. I'm going to give it another week to do a full review, but since there are mad Cold Plasma giveaways going on...you should enter them ALL. Whore yourself out for this one, it's worth it! And it's $150, ya'll! FIVE of my favorite girls are giving it away...5x to win! Do it! Do it!

Gabby, Summer, Midtown Girl, Oh, Mishka and Blog Goggles yay!

If I missed you, let me know... :)

Moving right along...got this in my email yesterday!!!

From Missy at oh missy me...um, talk about sunshine! Thank you! I love it and you! If you guys don't read her blog, you must go say hello to this darling girl. Seriously. LOVE!

And then! Diana at Our City Lights snuck this print I've been coveting as a surprise for me in a package she sent to Gabby today! My jaw dropped! Diana is CRAZY talented and her Etsy shop is blowing up...so proud of her. Thank you again love.

{You Are My Everything...You are now MINE hee hee}

Thank you for all the comments on my last post...I hope I didn't come off sounding like I'm a perfect friend, or bitter because I never want to discount the amazing friends I do have...life happens and hopefully we are lucky enough to have great girls by our side. I consider myself very lucky. Speaking of...one of my best's has crossed over to the dark side and started a blog!!! Don't you love it when that happens?! I mentioned Kate in this post about the friends I cherish, and now you can get to know her too! Welcome her to our crazy world at I Am Kate Owens...

So tonight (Friday) I've made it a point to make a date with another one of my nearest and dearest! A girly date of the best kind with margaritas, Mexican food and girl talk! It took writing that post for me to realize that sometimes I need to step my game up too. 2 way streets and all.

Saturday I have date with someone of the, ehem, penis variety. I don't know what we're doing yet but we always have fun, and I feel like getting dressed up and taking pictures!

What are you guys up to this weekend?! Has anyone tried the new YSL mascara? Did it "repave your road?" haha

Happy Friday loves!

XOXO,

Liz

P.S. If my blog is out of commish this weekend, it's because my new design is going up! BOOYA!

On Friendship.

I was on a conference call last week, and it turned into a complete mess, as most conf calls do. One girl, on the East coast who I've never met but have developed a rapport with via phone and email, kept trying to say something valid but nobody would listen. Finally she was able to break through the bitching, moaning and blame game to say, "I know this won't change anything, but I need to be heard. I need to say this." And went on to make her point.

I called her after the meeting as she is my ally these days, and she said "Liz, I know they weren't listening to me. I'm sure it went in one ear out the other. But for my own sanity, I had to say it. I had to know that I said it. I need to be heard."

I need to be heard.

Girlfriends. Le sigh, right? So many blogs on the subject, I know. I've posted about it before and I adore this post by my friend Brown Girl, as well.

{This post isn't about the Blair to my Serena, just clarifying so ya'll don't have to google it. We're solid.}

I'm hesitant to write about this at all, I don't want to come off heartless, cold or like I do no wrong because I do. I am not the perfect friend, let's just get this out of the way...honestly...

I've been called stuck up and a bitch by girls who haven't spoken one word to me. This scares me into not wanting to try. I am moody, flighty and at times, my mind changes at the last minute. My life is so crazy and complicated that often I don't let potential friends all the way in because it's hard to know who to trust, and frankly, sometimes I can't worry about letting down one.more.person. I come off snobby when I don't mean to at all because I get very quiet if I'm uncomfortable or out of my element. I might make plans with you because I really do want to see you, but have to cancel because of above said crazy life, or because I just need to sit in my room and decompress and I'm afraid to tell you all the crazy going on in my head. Sometimes I forget to write thank you cards. I am too hard on myself and sometimes that means I can be too hard on my friends. I'm working on all these things, and I appreciate the girls in my life who make me want to be a better friend, you know who you are.But, if you need to talk, you better call me! When you're really sick, I will pray and rally my troops and get a whole heck of a lotta people praying for you. If you're in the hospital, I will want to be by your side. Wild horses couldn't keep me away. I will stay up all night with you talking, I will hate the guy who hurt your heart, call him names and cry with you. I will tell you what shoes you should wear and yes, of course duh, you can borrow mine and sure, I'll do your makeup before your date! If you need a place to stay, you've got one. I will tell you highly inappropriate jokes to make you laugh when you're upset. If you live across the country, I'll buy a plane ticket simply because I want to sit on the couch with you and watch Curb, because I love you. I'll support your decisions, celebrate your achievements, encourage your dreams, sympathize with your pms, remind you of your worth should you forget, be in your wedding, do the makeup for your wedding, and so on and so forth... Meaning...once you're in my heart, you're in. Super glued, cemented, and I do the best I can.

This weekend, I was hurt by a very good friend. Or so I thought she was. I don't want to slander her publicly because she's doing it enough to herself and I feel more pity for her than anything else but...I NEED TO BE HEARD. I feel conned, used, taken for granted and sad. Angry? Latina fury? Hell yes. But sad because I trusted her, she was in my heart...and I just don't understand. Life happens, people aren't who they seem and I hope she gets the help that she so desperately needs. There are no excuses for the way she treated me...and until she owns up to that, I can't have her in my life. And it hurts to write that, and mean it.

{This picture isn't nice. But it made me laugh.}

All I know is that I did the best I could.

"I'm not anyone, I'm ME. You can tell me anything, we're sisters. You're my family. What is you, is me. There's nothing you could ever say to make me let go. I love you." Blair Waldorf

Thank you for being here, friends. :)

XOXO,

Liz

P.S. Today, my womb-mate/twin and our family are celebrating her life...4 years ago today we almost lost her to a pulmonary embolism, and I can't fathom my life without Gabby. I was blessed to be born with a best friend, which makes this post kind of fitting for today.

Dress You Up In My Love...

Happy Monday! In my head, that sounded totally sarcastic so just in case it didn't translate-TOTALLY SARCASTIC. But anyway! The project I'm working on requires me to go into an office (I'm sure I'm getting blank stares from most of you...as you read this from your offices), and last week I was bored out of my mind with my outfits! Therefore, no lookbooks...yet. I love dresses...they're so easy to throw on, and Hanako, Kelly and Maegan inspire me with the dresses they wear to work. I have to admit though, that dresses are one retail sector that kind of intimidate me, especially when it comes to the workplace. I can wear whatever the heck I want, one of the perks of working in a creative industry, however...if you have boobs or curves like me-lots of dresses can go from cute to skank in 2.5 secs...not professional at all. Below are dresses I would wear to work that won't break the bank (I despise spending a fortune on work clothes, let's save that for the Loubies kthxbai.)

{This might not work in every office, but in mine paired with tights, it'd be perfect}

{There is so much I could do with this one. Blank canvas!}

{So versatile! Above-9 am team mtg, below- 6 pm team drinking yay}

{Simple. I am dying over navy right now, too.}

{Perfection}

{Sexy without boobies in the face! lol. Jersey, V-Neck, add tights and boots...WIN}

This lil number is NOT for work...I don't work on the corner. I jest. If this doesn't scream LIZ I don't know what does. I love the bright color and the fact that it is not strapless!! I heart support. This is perfect for a fabulous, badass evening on the town, maybe in SF? Just sayin.

All of the above from ASOS. I wish they were hanging in my closet NOW. Boo wtf am I gonna wear tomorrow ughhhh!!! Sunday night grumpies, party of one...

In other news, I have the Ciao, Chessa! winner to announce!! My lovey banana badger was forced gracious enough to pick the lucky number via gchat this evening...number 84- Carissa from The Lovely Dove it is all you woman! Have your people talk to my people and let's do the damn thing :) Congrats, doll!

Happy Monday, this time, sarcasm free. Mostly. Hope ya'll had fabulous weekends.

XOXO,

Liz

I Need A Drink.

Awwww you guys! I miss you! It's so freaking bizarre how much I miss blogging, and it's only been a few days! Just a busy week and life trumped le blog. Boo being busy, you're a mean muggin whore with bad hair and ugly shoes! I wish I could share more about what I'm doing but my blog is not exactly anonymous and I can't be too specific...Things should settle down next week so I'll be back to my usual daily stalkage.

{This is me...stalkin outside your window. So I creep, yeahhh...}

This week has been tough. The industry I'm in, by definition, while fun and fabulous, is TOUGH. I am battling old demons, but I'm going to be a badass and rock it out...and reward myself with some LOUBIES soon! I'm beating myself up because I haven't worked out all week, but then again, I've barely eaten. (I don't condone this AT ALL, I'm just saying.) I am a perfectionist and pleaser, working on a project that will never be perfect and nobody will ever be pleased=anxiety city.

Nothing will ever be good enough for them, so it's just going to have to be good enough for me, with my new shoes and my (soon) new blonde hair. Appt has been made, I'm dragging Hanako along to perhaps film a Vlog or as she said, a "documentary"-"When Liz goes batshit crazy and dyes her hair platinum"...it could be the beginning of a series..."When Liz goes batshit crazy and ..." I've got material for days, srsly.

But I digress.

I'm sorry to come back and write a post that is more for me than anyone else. I NEED to remind myself tonight, as the week is coming to an end, that next week will be better. That yes, this mess I was hired to clean up is worse than I ever could have imagined, the pressure is palpable but every day, I DO make it better. I was hired for a reason. And I'm getting a damn good name to put on my resume!

Chin up! Heels on! Tosses weave! Stress can suck it DRY!

{Game Face ON! Uh, I wish that was my face. lol.}

Happy Friday my loves! What are you doing this weekend? I want to drink a lot and shake my money maker with the girls! And of course read your blogs while trying an eggnog latte from Starbucks...are they good? I keep hearing about them, but I'm not an eggnog fan usually. Ummm, cool now we're talking about eggnog here? Super. :)

XOXO,

Liz

P.S. Well, color me a jackass bloggy buddy. Totes didn't announce the fabulous Ciao, Chessa giveaway winner! So lucky you...I'm extending it til Monday cuz mama is too lazy to count all the entries!!

Shhh...Don't Talk...You'll Ruin It...

{I want a lazy weekend. With rain. Get it together, Cali.}

{I want these, just because they make me laugh.}

{I want Brooke. This song came on as I started my car today and reminded me of our bathroom sesh's.}

{I want.., duh.}

{Badass, again.}

{I want to eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner lately. THRILLING, huh?}

{I just GOT these. Woop woop!}

I want you all to have a good week...I'm here, getting caught up, slowly but surely! Sorry for the odd post...I'm feeling a little out of it and frankly, overwhelmed, but in a good way!! I just needed some pictures to look at...from cereal to bff's to general bad-ass-ery and shoes.

MAD LOVE!

XOXO,

Liz
