Fired on a Friday

People.com just reported that Taylor Jacobson from Rachel Zoe is no longer an employee! Thats gotta suck for Taylor. Wonder what she will do next, she totally made the show.
Hope everyone else is having a better Friday than Taylor!

Need to be Rockin this hoodie!

Your boyfriend may have beat you up but girl you still got style!
Loves it!

Flowers Uncut

Last night was the premiere of Flowers Uncut on TLC. The show is based on the life and designs of Jeff Leatham. He is AMAZING. Everything he designed on the show was over the top, gorgeous, spectacular. The highlight of the hour episode was the 1.5 millon dollar wedding he did the flowers for, TOTALLY FAB! I highly recommend checking it out!
Here are some pics of Jeff's amazing work!

Happy Halloween 2009

My friends and I went out to a social in town and had a blast!

Blogging, Oh so Behind!

I have been oh so very much ignoring my blog lately, not intentionally of course. Things have been very busy with work and I just have alot going on right now! But don't worry I will be back soon in full swing! Stay tuned!

Reebook Easytone

I have been spotting these Easy Tone runners in a few magazines as of recent and a friend of a friend got a pair and was raving them up a storm. These runners are supposed to force you to stay balanced and help tone muscles while you walk in them!
I need a pair these runners are going straight to the top of my Christmas List!

Monday Dream Item

This week's item is a little different. It is definetly in our price range for once and it has been an item I have been looking for forever.

I am sure all my fashionista friends have seen the TV shot The Rachel Zoe Project. While Rachel's always scarastic assistant rocks a sideways cross necklace in very close to every episode. Its super cute and I have been wanting one forever.



So I was surfing etsy.com and found the perfect sidways cross. Cannot wait to get mine!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying a great feast, love, and laughter with your family!
We ALL have something to be thankful no matter where our life has taken us!

Recent Photos!

I don't get around to posting a ton of my own photos on my blog so thought I would share a few. These are from my best friends baby shower. Good friends, good times, amazing memories!

September

Always one of my favourite months (now that I dont have to go back to school, he he) mostly because new TV shows premiere! Now don't get me wrong I love the fall season: the leaves turning colours, wearing cozy sweaters, breaking out the UGGS! I haven't had a chance to check out all the new TV shows be these two rank high on my new must watch list.
The first one is ABC's Eastwick. Two of my favourite actresses are in it Rebecca Romign (Ugly Betty) and Lindsey Price (Lipstick Jungle). It mixes the whole mystery meets small town Desperate Housewives idea. I wasn't sure I would like it but after watching the first two episodes I am definetly hooked!



Eastwick in on ABC wednesday nights at 9PM Central time! Hope you can tune in!

My second favourite new show is the forgotten on ABC as well. It's a show about a network of people (volunteers, they don't get paid to do this) who continue to investigate John or Jane Doe's bodies that our found. After the police department has done all they can do to figure out who these people are they pass the case onto the forgotten network and they have five days from the day they are given the case to figure out who this person was and even who/how they were killed. I normally do not care for many investigation shows but this one has really caught my interest. Hope you can check it out for yourself, on Tuesday nights at 9PM eastern on ABC.

Khole K Wedding

Love the dress
Love the ring
Love all the flowers
Love the cake

Hopefully it lasts!

Monday Dream Item

I have been very lacking on posting my Monday Dream Items but today I am back in action!
For this week's dream item I decided to go with something completely classic, you could use this bag in 20 years and it would still be hot. The Dolce & Gabbanna Miss Sicily Leather Tote is a great work bag, goes with everything, and is an extrememly classic bag.
I simply love it!

This amazing bag is available at www.nordstroms.com and retails for $1,895.00.
Happy Monday, Happy Shopping!

Monday Dream Item

Even though its already Tuesday I still wanna post this week's dream item! I am totally loving this House of Harlow necklace. Its edgey and you could rock it out with a great leather jacket, tee, and jeans or a great black dress. This dream item is definetly alot more abtainable then some of my other picks. This House of Harlow necklace retails for $125.00 and is available at www.shopbop.com. Also available in red! Happy Monday fashion friends!

Happy Birthday to a VERY Special Mom!

Delayed Monday Dream Item

With the long weekend, I kinda forgot that Monday came and went and I didn't post my dream item of the week, so better late than ever, here it goes!


Marco Bicego Paradise Multi-strand Necklace, I have no words, its gorgeous! Can play up a great black dress or would look stunning with a white button down shirt, jeans, and a great boot. The colours have alot going on but it is totally fab.





Marco Bicego Paradise Multi-strand Necklace, $5,350.00. Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

$84.00 Lululemon Pants.....I don't think so!

So I totally understand everyone's love for the Lululemon Yoga Pant they feel amazing however I totally question the company's ethics when it comes to sizing. The biggest size any of their workout pants are available is a 12 when the average women's size is a 14, Ummmmm HELLO! So I recently was shopping in the mall and was at Smart Set. They make these amazing Muv pants and they are exactly like lululemon ones and better yet . . . cheaper!!!!
$32.00 - I nearly died. They fit perfectly and feel amazing. To bad lululemon, you probably could have earned my $84.00 if you made some pants bigger than a 12.
I highly highly recommend these workout pants, you must give them a try!

Monday Dream Item

Happy Monday everyone. It's time for our weekly dream item and I cannot wait to share with you what I've found this week. These Kama Draped Booties by Jean Michel Cazabat are amazing. I totally heart the drapping, the open toe, great lil heel - they are bananas. Of course they could'nt be a dream item without the hefty price tage, these babies retail for $695.00

Sweater Weather

Fall is fast approaching (even though here it seems like we've hardly had summer) and that means sweater season! I was browsing through Victoria Secret.com and here are my faves and very high on my fall must have list!

XOXO Gossip Girl

I cannot even begin to tell you "upper east siders" how excited I am for the Season Premiere of Gossip Girl on September 14th. I cannot wait to see what happens, it is by far my favourite show, not only for the racy storyline but the FASHION!

XOXO GOSSIP GIRL!

Monday Dream Item

Hello Bloggers, its Monday and on my blog Monday's are dream days! So this week I have chosen an amazing handbage by Fendi! It's the Fendi Violet sequined sating spy small tote. I know some of your are thinking for that much $$ it should probably be a more classic colour in order to get maximum use out of the bag but the violet is soo pretty and irridescent it can be rocked with any outfit!



Now although I am "loving" this Fendi bag, it will definetly remain a dream item for me with a price tag of $2,020.00.
Happy Monday, Happy Shopping!

Fendi Violet sequined satin spy small tote available at www.bluefly.com.

Facebook - Alanna's take on it!

I can't even describe how "annoyed" I get with facebook. I have quite a few "Frequent updaters" as I like to refer to them as. By frequent update I mean this:
_________ is off to work
_________ is having an apple
_________ in a Meeting
_________ having a java

and this goes on and on and on all day!
Let's face it I think if you need to tell everyone what your doing every minute of the day your definetly looking for some attention and getting it on facebook is never a good idea!

My other facebook pet peeve is all the quiz's that everyone takes and HAS TO POST. Hello people there is a button that says do not publish, how about using it every once and a freakin while!
I don't care what bible character you resemble, what kind of nurse you are, when you will die, what UFC wrestler you are most like, what pussycat doll song best decribes you, what year you will get married in, or which lunch meat looks the most like you. If I wanna know one of these things Ill ask!
Let's keep facebook for what it was originally intended for, connecting with people and of course creepin on other people's pictures (hahaha)!!

Monday Dream Item

I think I missed a Monday, whoopsie! Been a busy summer thus far and I am sad that it is slowly coming to an end!
I was racking my brain today to think of what I could post for a dream item and then it came to me.... DAVID YURMAN!
So after a little browsing through neimanmarcus.com I discovered this TO DIE FOR David Yurman Diamond Initial Necklace! I am in love soo pretty!



David Yurman Diamond Initial Necklace, $595.00, available at http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod87440001&parentId=cat16650749&masterId=cat16650743&index=0&cmCat=cat000000cat2830732cat2830733cat000160cat540734cat16650743cat16650749

Waiting on a Little Baby!

Today my best friend got induced this morning and I am just waiting to hear when the lil babe will arrive!
I think she is gonna have a boy but I am hoping girl!!!
I am sooooooo excited for her!

The Return of TLC's What Was a Family

So tonight Jon and Kate Plus 8 returns from its 6 week hiatus. The last time I watched was when they announced that they had filed for divorice, the show at the point was more than awkward it was way too personal. Now don't get me wrong I totally understand that clearly the reason for continuing with the show is financial. At the end of the day they have eight little mouths to feed so sometimes you have to do the necessary in order to continue carrying on.
I hope for everyone's sanity that their lives get a little easier and the press lays off on them a bit, remember at one time they were just a normal family with multiples.

Monday Dream Item - August 3, 2009

So this week's dream item is this gorgeous pair of Miu Miu slide's. I love love all the stones on them. They would look great with a black pencil skirt or a hot pair of dark jeans. You could easily do them in the summer with a cute skirt or in the winter with leggings and a great dress.



Of course they couldn't be a dream item without a hefty price tag, these $750.00 slides are part of Miu Miu's Fall collection. Available at www.neimanmarcus.com and www.bergdorfgoodman.com
Happy "Holiday" Monday!
