Good Deal for Spring!

I know my blog has been slow going in 09 so far, but it's not a sign of things to come, I promise. I'm just enjoying my time off from work- going out with my girl friends and getting into all kinds of trouble! haha

Anyway, a fellow blogger is selling their unworn Louboutins that are "a little too big" for their size 8 feet on ebay. I have them myself (I wore them for my engagement photos for our wedding magazine shoot) and LOVE them! They're super cute and high and perfect for warmer weather. 

Here's the ebay link! Check them out- they're starting at only $100. My first pair of Louboutin's were a pair of his espadrilles. Just an FYI ;)

Guest Blogger: Jo from Desire To Inspire- (11 of my Favorite interiors of 2008)

Hi this is Jo from Desire to Inspire and I'm posting as guest blogger today. Kim and I search the world for the most inspiring interiors we can find. Often though the best are right under my nose. Australia is bursting with talent and the looks coming out of my country at the moment are so fresh and vibrant. Aussie stylists and photographers are taking over the world too as they share their take on all things fab in overseas magazines. Here are some of my favourites of this past year, 2008.

XIAXUE'S GUIDE TO LIFE



I test out various supposed hangover remedies.
Some are gross, but not as gross as my fridge.

Kaykay and Paul buy Xmas presents for each other. Awww!

It WAS supposed to be Xmas-themed and all, but I guess a little too late for that now. Hopefully you are still having your New Year celebration hangover!!

Grrrr

p/s: Neither am I pregnant or getting married anytime soon - which is what was newly vandalised on my wiki page. Creative, I give you that. But not true.

Guest Blog: Liana from MixedPlate (7 Things on My Wish List for 2009)

Aloha, Made by Girl fans! This is Liana from Mixed Plate. I was so excited and honored that Jennifer asked me to be a guest on her amazing and inspirational blog (visiting Made by Girl makes me happy!). She requested that I put together a little list of a few things that are on my wish list for the New Year. Ah, so many things to choose from! I decided to stick to what I normally gravitate toward: the handmade. Hope you enjoy these!

1) It’s a mustache. On a stick. I love it have had this on my wish list for some time now. Everything that Something’s Hiding in Here makes is great, but the mustaches on a stick (this one is “the bartender”) are my favorite!

2) Oh, If I only had an apartment that actually allowed me to hang things on my walls!
I really like the look of old keys and these vintage wall hangings at Fabulous Mess are pretty cool.


3) If you know me from Mixed Plate, you’ll know that I’m a Hawaii gal who recently relocated to San Francisco. I don’t have to tell you that the weather is a little confusing for me, as is how to dress myself each day. I think this sweater by wearflock would keep me warm!

4) I love collecting all sorts of art prints and posters at every craft show I attend and online. I adore the simplicity of this one by Christopher David Ryan.

5) Meleana’s bags are always on my list of favorite things. She’s a Hawai¢i wahine like me and since living away from home I always crave a little bit of that aloha feeling. Check the roominess of this Holoholo bag.

6) This lovely red wool hat not only looks like it would keep the noggin warm, but it also is super stylish and the color pops for that little something extra for any outfit. The fabulous folks of Hat House and Little Houses have done it again!

7) Orange Beautiful has been a favorite of mine for a while now. I mean, just check out this booklet. It’s perfect to throw in your bag to jot down random thoughts and to help get your “stuff” together and organized.

Aloha and Mahalo!
Liana

HellooOoOoO 2009!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

How fast did 2008 go by? Seriously?!

I am really excited about '09- I have a good feeling about it.

So last night Ben and I were pretty mellow. We went to dinner with a group of our friends and then to a couple of house parties. We went home minutes before midnight to have a private new year's kiss. ;)

Anyway- I rocked my new dicso pants and my always amazing YSL Trib Too's. They're getting easier to wear each time! I barely even needed a sitting break last night. ha ha.

What fun things did you guys do!? I'm sure you all did much more exciting things than us.

What are some of your resolutions? I never do those things 'cause I feel like I'm destined for failure. I always try to think of a really good one and come up empty handed. Maybe if you tell me yours I can steal one and take credit for it. 

Bwa ha ha.

Happy New Year from Benjamin, Banksy and of course, me! I truly love you all and am looking forward to 2009!
