VACAY AWAY - Hey ya'll,

I'm chilling for a bit on vacay with my mom and grandma in an undisclosed locale. I'll tell you this tho - its hotter than Hades here. My sister, her boo and my aunt were here too, but they had to cut their holiday short to get back to work.


Nothing like getting up when you want, eating breakfast when you want, napping when you want, going to the beach when you want. Love it! Not to toot my own horn, but this is a much deserved break.


Anyway, I said last time that I would give yall info on some of my favorite lifestyle blogs. Just like my police girls have given me some insight into this crazy new life my old life has evolved into, my lifestyle chicas often make me look at my life as a whole whether its clothes, home decor or just fun stuff for everyday living. Here are some of my favorites that I read pretty darn regularly.



Darling Dexter - I met Whitney thru her hubby-wuberton who used to work with me. She is so cool without even knowing it. They are genuinely awesome people and even though we are BFF, FabBeau and I really like being couple friends with them. They gave us a cool chair that they had reupholstered when they moved. She makes adorable but sophisticated clothes, she blogs, she is being a student at Parsons (like Tim Gunn Parsons) in NYC and according to her blog she is working with Carol Hannah from Project Runway. Just look at it, you will like her too!

Paris Market and Brocante This boho-chic store has a crazy cool website and blog too. Everytime I read it, it makes me want to redo my house with awesome found objects that look like I shop at flea markets and have really amazing taste. Which I currently do not, and I admit this.

I also love to look at DailyCandy - i even get the emails; PopCandy-that Whitney is so fun!

While I'm at it, I'll go ahead a tell you some other things I like personally, since I tend to have those sites saved to my favorites as well.
Daily faves include my beau, my awesome dogs Chesney and Sue, spending time with my family and friends, playing any form of Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit, and my pink Nintendo DS, pedicures and spa-ing ( I like making my own spa products), sleeping late on weekends, Coach bags (I'm working towards a pair of shoes), Dane Cook, black flip-flops, ballet flats, saturday skirts-if you dont know, you dont have one. I love the South in general, particularly Savannah, Charleston and Pensacola Beach, which needs everyone's help and prayers right now.
I can be found at the library checking out the latest fiction and non-fiction bestsellers. I have read every Harry Potter book and stand in line for the midnight showing of the movies proudly wearing my “Insufferable Know-it-All” and “Cleverest Witch of Her Age” shirt. I’m a huge Gone with the Wind fan and have unbelieveable memorabilia, but love movies like the Goonies, Varsity Blues, Steel Magnolias, Swingers, Old School, Wedding Crashers and a recent fave Zombieland. When I’m reading blogs, writing my own, or just chilling at home, I try to catch televisions shows like Sex and the City reruns, Ghost Hunters, Deadliest Warrior, and NCIS (love that McGee).

Next time, I'll give you some professional faves. Until then...
See ya'll lata!
