Her FAVORITE THINGS (said in Oprah voice)

I was in NYC last weekend and it seems like the week got away from me. Once arriving back in the Chi, I had to work until 4am (which I wasn't expecting.) So today I am finally feeling slightly back on track. This morning I was watching Oprah and was reminded of a great suggestion that came up over the weekend. My bff Nana was kind enough to share her Garnier Anti Puff Eye Roller pen with anyone. I eagerly jumped at every opportunity. It is a magical product. Nana wants to host a favor things party just so she can give one to all her favorite people. I love this idea. I would probably give everyone this...

Too cute

Look at that tiny hand. After I am done with this little lady I am off to NYC to see my favorite ladies on the planet. So excited!

I love him.

Reasons Why Everyone Should Have an Indian Wedding

Oh Allison and Nirav's wedding was so much fun. A total cultural experience! Casey and I had such a blast. Sorry for not sharing these sooner but here are some of the best moments from the weekend. Also Indian women have some serious jewelry. Wish I took more shots of that.

1. Mehendi- The art of henna painted on the hand. Yes, it's still on my hand today.
2. The Carriage- Indian tradition calls for 5 or 7 riders.
(they had 7- Nirav's sister was next to him at the other side of him. The carriage driver is included)


3. We got to dress up in the traditional garb
... and it was awesome.

4. Nirav's dad is an amazing dancer. He pulled me on the floor and we boogied away. He danced the whole weekend. Man after my own heart.

5. During the ceremony they gave us pistachio ice cream.
6. Allison was transformed into an Indian goddess. 5 different outfits for the weekend!

7. The Ohm ice sculpture.

I know you....

Spotted on Erie Basin....

Kinda reminds me of this little diddy...

I know it's a little out of focus but this belonged to a great great aunt. After my grandmother passed away I thought I would get it. Alas my aunt has and isn't giving it to me until she dies. It's an Irish thing I guess. Also my nails NEVER look this good. It must be winter and post sailing season. Any who... Happy Weekend! Casey and I have an Indian wedding in Cincy! Who knows maybe I will be rocking a Sari!

Argh.

I am mildly obsessed with Mad Men, as most people who watch are. I love the cliff hangers from episode to episode and can't wait for a new season to start. However, I am down right P.O.'d about the conclusion of this past season. My outrage stems from the scene depicted in the image above. Usually I am a sucker for a good engagement scene and diamond ring. This time I could barely watch. Don Draper, WHY? Megan, really? So cliche! It was Anna's ring dammit! Alright I am done. The ring was pretty very antique. I am now going to Erie Basin to see if I can find something similar. Thanks for reading the rant. I will likely have a countdown widget on the blog when hear when season 5 starts.

Oh Wow, it's been a WHILE

Sorry for the delay. So much has happened since my last post! I am inspired to write today because I had an oddly flattering occurrence happen. A boyfriend of one of my friends bought her these earrings and the fabulous tribal necklace. He emailed me yesterday to say that my poor friends apartment was broken into and the only thing they took were these earrings! While it's terrible dear Jeannine's earrings were stolen and her apartment was broken into- I feel a little flattered. Don't worry Jeannine, I will happily replace your earrings! Kind of hilarious that these bad boys might be sitting in a NYC pawn shop some where.

That's all for now. More posts soon!
