I do not have to go to see another movie ever again... unless it's this one again... this is what a movie is ... religious or not this movie will illicit some type of emotion from you and I am sure it will more than likely be a positive one... real movie. real artistry. real technique. real writing. real acting... I'm done...

They say they are lined with a great funky floral print starting at 125.00... I need a bag to throw these in!

Re-VISITED AN OLD FAVORITE: NO STARS

TRYING TO GET IT IN

So I haven't posted in a while but here is the rundown of my weekend...

I'm still a little stuffed up but I had an awesome time !

No Paper

PLASTIC HOLDER

I posted on business card holders sometime back...

I had received one as a gift ...

it attracts quite a lot of questions... it's very durable and compact... only downfall was that it had pink inset stars on it... so I upgraded to this sterling silver monogramed version. Monograms are so southern... I'm a GRITS!

CAN'T STOP. WON'T STOP

PRADA: Saffiano Fori Tote

I've spotted this awesome perforated leather open tote at several major department stores. Carmel, Mimosa Yellow, Black and Wine are the available color palettes. The bag includes a removable leather pouchette with a leather strap. The pouchette measures in at: 5.5" x 9" and the tote at: 13.75" x 19" x 6.5". If you’re looking to purchase I advise you to shop around... I've seen it listed at a $100 dollar price difference.

Saw this bag a little while back... and I just can't stop thinking about it... like I'm serious... it comes to me in random moments...financial diet... huh?... what did you say... oh ... my financial diet is going ...ok... we are nearing the end of month one... with a trip on the rise in month two... ugh... trip or bag???... It's not often that I come across something that I really like...

the cow was pushed...

Hershey's Goodnight Hugs White Chocolate Cocoa

So I have been sick for the past seven odd days... I got this thing against taking medicine... my body is my temple ... and yeah sometimes I abuse it... but I know when to take a stance... so me my Kleenex with lotion and a couple rolls of halls took it in for a minute... I didn't purchase any tea, honey or lemon juice because I didn't foresee the need.... so when my throat caught a lump ... I took a sip of my yummy white chocolate cocoa... it really does have a type of soothing taste about... dang maybe I need to make me a cup tonight... lol

Papermate Felt Tip

So a few years ago a good friend of mine acquired an amazing MOVADO pen... the Chaplain signs with a gold tone instrument... and the Director of Customer Service makes all kinds of swirly loops when he lays down his John Hancock ... I however am simply smitten with this $1.79 Papermate Felt Tip Pen...

LML: I was reading one of my favorite blogs...during an interview process they asked the applicants to sell themselves in three minutes... I immediately thought of what I would say and the first thing that came to mine was 7-11... the concept and stats above alone...

Mikimoto Kōkichi= THE PEARL KING

Alfred Eisenstaedt./Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images

"Born Sep 01, 1946 as the first son of an udon shop owner in Toba, Shima Province (present-day Mie prefecture), Mikimoto left school at the age of 13 and sold vegetables to support his family. Seeing the pearl divers of Ise unloading their treasures at the shore in his childhood started his fascination with pearls." - Source

nO PASSengers ON MY PLANE

My Maison Martin Margiela Airplane Brooch finally arrived... me and the postman have a venus vs mars relationship... private courier... hmmm... interesting thought.... The pin is incredible and a lot larger than I expected. Made of 100% ottone brass in Italy it's definitely a "talk about it" piece. I'm heavily contemplating picking up the white version of this pin for the spring/summer. I hear there is a bracelet and ring in this "airplane" series... financial diets... suck!
