Gone Fishing!!!!!!!!!

Off to the Beach!

As of late, my girls have been accusing me of being "out to lunch!" Im not sure if it's being 30+ weeks preggers, the heat, a 2 year-old, or just D, all of the above!!! Mostly, I think my mind is on V for Vacation, which I am so very much in need of...So, don't be alarmed, but MMC will be on hiatus for the upcoming week! As we will be fun'n and sun'n on the lovely, quaint island of Nevis!!! I will miss you all and I promise to return, well rested and fully cognitive...Well, maybe just well rested!!!!

Live Long and Vacation Well!!!!!!!!!

I Just Can't Wait!!!!!!!

One Fall-Fabulous Color!!!

As fall approaches, my fashion eye can't help but take in all the fun, fall, vibrant colors!!! At the top of my list of Must Have Fall items...Orange Pants!!! I first caught a wonderful glimpse here, at a great blog Coco+Kelley! I am really loving the color orange as of late. It's so festive, bright, and warm! It looks great against most skin tones and pairs fantastically with fuchsias, emerald greens, and electric blues-all top colors for fall!  Try a cigarette pant like this one or go for a wide leg, like this one! At this point, I'm not really able to get into either style, but here's hoping for late fall and even early winter(baby weight blues). Until then, I hope to see some of my most stylish girlfriends, rocking some Orange!!!

Can't Wait to Get into these Orangy-Reds

Clutch On To This!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colorful Clutches

Summer is hot and so is the clutch handbag! Simple, chic, and so functional!!! What's even hotter in the world of clutch bags are their bright colors and my favorite...Color blocking, click here to put your creative juices to work!!! Not really in the mood for DIY, well I have found a lot of fabulous clutch options to suit just about any one's wardrobe! I love clutches for nights out with the husband or dinner with the girls or just for quick runs with the son! It's such a great style option and since they vary in size, you can still carry your whole life (if you're anything like me) in your handy dandy clutch, if you like! Now, lets get to some bags, so hold on for the ride...

I Left My Wallet In El Segundo!!!!!!!!

Bonita Applebum, Check the Rhyme, Buddy, Scenario, and the list goes on...Not sure who or what in the world Im talking about??? Well, get familiar with A Tribe Called Quest, if you aren't already! ATCQ are pioneers in the spoken rhyme and jazz sampling in the hip-hop world. They are one of my favorite hip hop groups of all time and when I got wind of a documentary in their honor, I was more than pumped! The Low End Theory was my high school soundtrack! With all that said...the Tribe doc is finally here!!! One of my besties(good looking, EB) in NYC sent word my way that ATCQ documentary was being released in NY and LA today! I can't wait til it comes to DC (July 15th) and go here for more release dates. I am anxious to see how Michael Rapaport put it all together. I know I will be nodding my head for the next week to all their greatest, including one of my faves, Left My Wallet In El Segundo and speaking of which, when you are in LA, you should check out the new El Segundo(see this post) and while you're driving with your sunroof back, pump some ol' skool jams!!!

Miss you Tribe!

Live Long and Love the Music!!!!!!!!!!

I Heart Birthdays!!!!!

	I'm needing this in my perfume collection

July is my birthday month, which I seem to be talking about a lot, as of late, but I think I'm owed the right to do so on my one, very special day of the year(although, I must say I have a lot of special days and I'm so grateful for them all). However, on this special day, the birthday, I think it's only fitting and appropriate to solicit, special gifts...I'm not asking for much, as it's not a major milestone bday, but at the top of my wishlist is the newest fragrance from Maison Martin Margiela, appropriately named Untitled and exclusively available at Saks! I just happened to walk past the display in Saks and decided to spray a little bit and oh boy, what a treat!! Light, airy, fruity, perfect for summer days and nights and a perfect transition fragrance for fall!! Multifunctional and definitely worth the money (at least in my mind). If you like citrusy, clean scents, you will love Untitled!!! Check it out!!! It's so fabulous, it doesn't even need a name!!!

Live Long and Smell Good!!!!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Longing to be here...The Viceroy Anguilla

It's Friday and it's the first day of July which means...It's MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!! So much to celebrate and be thankful for...Babies, Husband, Family, Friends, Health, Anthro Bday discounts, and Island getaways! Won't make it back to Anguilla this year, but we will be taking a much needed trip here at the end of the month, a babymoon of sorts, and I can't wait!!!! Stay tuned for a bday giveaway coming soon...Until, enjoy your weekend, 4th of July, bbq's, and summer in general!!!!!

Live Long and Enjoy Life!!!!!!!!!
