Rodarte for Target

Hey there Frugalististas!

Target has an early Christmas present for all you: Rodarte is designing a line especially for Target. Lots, of black, lots of lace and my personal fav: a sequined skeleton dress. Fabulous!

Thank you Kate and Laura! You girls rock!

What The Doctors Call a Little Bit of a "Weight Problem"

We pugs are curvaceous, full-figured creatures. Sadly not everyone appreciates our voluptuousness; my vet wants me to lose weight. I'm starting to develop a bit of a complex; Kristen seems to be rationing my food intake and it seems like people on the street are constantly staring out me. I suspect my weight is the reason Kristen took me to a dog park for the first time this weekend. I found the entire experience very overwhelming;

so I mostly stayed between Kristen's legs.

Later I ventured out to the other dog owners to watch the dogs

from the safe confines of their legs.

When I got up the courage to meet the other dogs they chased me around in tight little circles and I decided to it would be best to find Kristen quickly.

After my grueling experience I decided on a nice long soak in the tub to destress.

What a day!

Shoes!!!!

These are few of my favorite things

Hiding under deep dark leather couches,Hip bags, hip belts, and other hip pouches. Barking at leaves in crisp autumn evenings; These are a few of my favorite things.

Eating fallen food, vegetables or noodles;
Fellow canines, short-hairs or poodles;
Chew Toys and pajama pants drawstrings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in red dresses with blue eyes and long lashes;

Knocking over furniture and the proceeding crashes;
Nipping at ears with dangly earrings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

OMGG!

Tonight’s the season premiere of TV’s greatest guilty pleasure: Gossip Girl. Don’t dismiss this as just your run of the mill tween drama; this is a show not to be missed! Yes, the characters are young, but the show magically transports the audience from our current recession-focused reality to the highest echelons of the beautifully young and beautifully rich of New York’s elite. Delicious!

Gossip Girl is full of drama and backstabbing that you couldn’t possibly dream up in your best revenge fantasy, so sit back and enjoy the delightfully wicked storylines. In addition to the glimpse into the world of the filthy rich, Gossip Girl not only has a pulse on current trends, the show actually starts many of the fads that trickle down to the masses. So tune in tonight at 9pm to get the first look at what we’ll all be wearing (or wishing we could wear) very soon!

A Guilt-free trip to Gilt!

Kristen and I live in Portland’s vibrant NW 23rd district, an area known for its great restaurants, unique boutiques, fun bar scene, and its quaint neighborhood charm. If you haven’t been, it’s definitely worthy of a stop the next time you are in town. This weekend Kristen and her mom were having a girls’ weekend and on their agenda was a gift for a dear godmother. They wanted something as special and unique as this godmother. Kristen suggested they look at a wonderful little vintage jewelry store call Gilt. http://giltjewelry.com/ This small boutique has a wide assortment of one-of-a-kind bubbles, everything from exquisite engagement rings to inexpensive (yet positively charming) costume jewelry. This a great little shop to find a truly unique piece that only you will have! Fabulous!
