yum! yum! yum! plus, a serena & lily score!

curious, if anyone else out there is fan of jason's deli?

jason's deli has locations all over the u.s. currently, i am obsessed with their fruit dip! omg, this stuff is amazing! wish i had a recipe so i could make my own! lol!

anyway, i had their califonia club for lunch - guac on the side, of course!  too bad, i waited until i was pretty much done with my meal to snap a photo.

oh well, check it out www.jasonsdeli.com and if you haven't tried their fruit dip you should! it's delish!

almost forgot, anyone score any deals over at the SERENA & LILY SALE event over at ONE KINGS LANE today?

i did, thought i was too late...waited a few minutes, b/c the GOBI SHOWER CURTAIN i wanted in NAVY was in someone else's basket. hate it when that happens, argh!!!! sure enough, i waited long enough and it magically came available ....SCORE!!!!

another fabulous trip!!

greetings!

a few days ago we returned from a wonderful trip out to vegas. we stayed over at the bellagio, which is still my favorite place on the strip!

below are some random photos from our trip.

speaking of CHANEL, i was walking up from the pool and notice a woman wearing a pair of CHANEL flats.

it soon dawned on my that the CHANEL logo was missing from the right shoe. man, that's gotta suck!

curious, would you wear a pair of CHANEL flats

knowing one of the logos was missing?

here's one of my favorite view of the pools:

speaking of vegas, it's hard to go to vegas without a little gambling. i won, i lost, won again...luckily, i came home with $600 more than i left with.....BONUS!

i'm not a big gambler, i stick to the slots. SEX & THE CITY is def. my favorite slot machine! not sure what to do with the money?

$600.00 probably doesn't seem like much to you, but for someone who normally loses it was great to come home a winner! ha! ha! ha!

then again i play for fun! it's such a sad sight when i see seniors using their social security $ on the slots!

oh well, the only famous person we saw was taylor hicks. at first i was like, he looks familiar? i'm not a fan of american idol, so it took me a moment to realize who it was, lol!!!

can't wait to go back! ;)

christmas in july!

greetings!

hope everyone had a fabulous memorial day weekend! we spent the weekend upnorth at our cottage in northern michigan.

it was nice to get away from chicago and escape the sweltering heat. well almost, it was 97 degrees when we arrived home....ugh!!!

thankfully the pool is FINALLY open! ha! ha!

anyway, while upnorth i came across these awesome styrofoam cups and napkins at a store over in leland, michigan.

"WEEKEND WATERFORD"

"COTTAGE CRYSTAL" 

"LAKE LINEN"

...lol!!!!

this afternoon i stopped over at TRADER JOE's for some groceries and across this small bottle of trader joe's 2009 late harvest moscato paso robles.

small, being that i got only 2 glasses worth of wine out of it! if you love sweet wine like i do, can't beat this wine for $3.99/bottle!

cheers!

enough already, lol!

how many is too many?

if i buy another bottle of perfume, please shoot me! ha! ha!

what is your favorite perfume at the moment?

OMG, seriously....

OMG! seriously, is this not the cutest set!

 i was at costco and came across this adorable chaise lounge, umbrella and side table over at costco.

seriously, what little diva wouldn't want chill out with this set this summer! best of all, the set was only $69.99! such a steal if you ask me! oh, too be young again! LOL!

oh well, once again i apologize for my lack of blogging! things have been really busy around here. we decided not to purchase the short sale we put an offer on. we have decided to hold out for something better. after all, it's still buyers market! for now at least!

anyway, yesterday i stopped over at homegoods and walked out with two lovely oil paintings. seriously, the framing alone costs more than what i actually paid for each of the paintings.

only thing left is to purchase 2 more picture lights to hang over each of the paintings. funny thing, those will probably cost more than what i paid for the paintings. LOL! sadly, these photos don't to the paintings justice! oh well...

so, of course, i stopped over at two different homegoods to see if i could find anymore that i liked, nope! maybe i will have better luck when i am in michigan next weekend?

hope you had a fabulous weekend! it's been so chilly here in chicago! wondering if spring will ever return? ha! ha!

oh well, time to make some chicken cacciatore with some amazing cacciatore sauce from a local chicago company that i picked up over at whole foods.  yum!
