People Who Inspire Me #1

I've never met a smarter, more cheerful and carefree little girl than my 3-year-old cousin, Amiyah. Her enthusiasm for life and constant state of contentment make her tremendously inspiring. She has the most beautiful, contagious smile in the world and I could hug her to pieces every time I see her.

"Beat LA" Cupcakes

As I sit here typing this post, the Celtics are currently beating LA 33-31. Unfortunately, my plans were botched this evening after a daunting commute home in this city's ridiculous traffic. I guess it could be worse - I could live in LA.

In an effort to support the C's from my own home, I've decided to make vanilla cupcakes with green meringue frosting. I have to admit, they definitely weren't my favorite cupcakes - partly because I refused to leave my house to get any ingredients that were fun and unique.

Giving Up The Gun

There is nothing worse than getting a song stuck in your head for days. That being said, I do believe that there are exceptions to everything.

I've been a fan of Vampire Weekend since they first came on to the scene a few years back. (In fact, I listened to their self-titled debut so much when I lived in NYC, that their music makes me nostalgic for the Big Apple.) There is a certain quirky, playful, sound that they possess that I can't get enough of. At one point or another, I've had almost every one of their songs stuck in my head and I'm not bothered in the least.

While my personal favorite off their new CD is "White Sky", I have a whole new love for "Giving Up the Gun" after watching their music video. The celebrity cameos are hysterical but the shining star is the cute ginger. She makes me want to put on a cute tennis outfit and kick some Joe Jonas ass. See for yourself.

Birthday Wishes

Well, here we are. It's been almost six months since my first post and I am finally getting around to writing a second. JEEZ! Where does the time go? Unfortunately, the blogging was put on hold after a tragic accident with my camera on NYE. WELL, since my 25th birthday is right around the corner, I've been lucky enough to be able to buy a brand new camera, and thus, I am finally ready to enter the blogosphere -- full speed ahead.

Okay - enough explaining. Let's get started, shall we?

Even though my new Nikon D5000 was my official birthday gift, I am still pining over the following:

{Karen Walker Sunnies}

{Khaki Hunter Boots}

{Maya Brenner State Necklace - Massachusetts}

{Bond No. 9 Perfume - Brooklyn}

{Michael Kors Watch}

{Coach Collectibles - Kelly's Drawstring Pouch - LOVE!}
