How do you start your day...


When I get up to "Read the papers" it looks something like this...




Weather. What will my mood be? WHAT WILL I WEAR?
I check four different places (just so I get it right). Weather Bug, iphone app., Weather Channel and Google Weather. Yes, I know, they all get them from the same place...but... piece of mind!



What is going on in politics, business, entertainment, comedy, style, sports...it is all there.




The news of the world from THEIR perspective not OURS. So easy to read and so informative. Check out a section called "Newsbeat's ODD BOX" - I look forward to it at the end of every week.




What can I say, I love gossip about the Royals, WAGS and all things Chezza. www.dailymail.co.uk







Where does Heather Clawson get all those photos. It is like looking through a coffee table book every morning. LOVE.





FUNNY. FUNNY. FUNNY. I love him to pieces. My second favorite Brit after Hugh Grant.




The New York Times T Magazine. I love the graphics, photos, design, travel, food - so much STUFF. Plus, it makes me feel kinda cool :)



RED CARPET FASHION AWARDS
Based in the UK, Catherine Kallon, culls all the looks from the past evenings red carpet events all around the world and HONESTLY critics them. Right shoe. Wrong bag. Good hair. Bad posture.



I have bought so many terrific, can't live without, items from OKL. Not left over junk from last years must have list or overstocks. Antiques, home decor, art, food, wine...Life's little luxuries...Now and forever...All at a great price. LOVE IT.


FASHIONISTA
This site reports on fashion like CNN reports on Afghanistan. Business, designers, fabrics, interviews, models and everything else. It helps those on the edge fell more on the inside.

I just like to look around and check out the prices for things I see on the blogs. Always in hopes of finding that Hermes solid gold bracelet for $300, the Massimo Vitali print for $250, the new Celine Luggage Tote for $220 or that Azzadine Alaia dress for $298.50.
Do you see a pattern?





And finally, I roll through my Scrabble games on Facebook. Nothing pleases me more then to see a queue of 14 games waiting for me and ready to play. Happy. Happy. Happy. Plus it gives me the opportunity to FB wish my celebrating friends from near/far and past/present an HAPPY BIRTHDAY.


Then it is into the shower and off to work!


Full disclosure, there are SOOOO many more that I stroll through and SOMETIMES Huffpost and BBC are not at the top of the list...

No theme, just random thoughts...

"Norma Jean Baker is so much prettier than Marilyn Monroe."




"My girlfriends would love these. EVERY SINGLE guy I know would make fun of them."




"We, as a country, should agree to start paying him to keep his shirt ON."




"$1000 for this Cle de Peau face cream. What? What? Is it like a Cracker Jack box? Is there a Bulgari B.Zero1 ring on the bottom of the jar?"




"I wonder if Kelly Slater would hold my purse while we shopped at the outlet mall."




"Who is buying these $500 Clergerie shoes? Off duty nurses?"




"I wonder if she is getting water up her nose like I ALWAYS do when summersaulting in the pool."




"Will my tushie fit?"




"I don't think my 4 for $20 Target cotton panties with the fraying elastic would work with this outfit."




"Are you kidding me, Gisele Bundchen, with your INFANT baby? Unretouched. Probably unshowered. Most likely pulling on the clothes at the end of the bed from the day before. Sometimes this world is unfair."




"How do you think she drives her car with that hair?"



Girls just want to have color...

Yeah, yeah, I get it, camel is the new black! I have always looked for the perfect camel but now that camel is everywhere...I WANT COLOR! Well, I guess I am a grass is always greener (pun intended) type of girl. So when army green, aubergine and brown have gotten you down... Here are a few ways to put some color into your life~


Bodum - French press coffee makers
(Color for the kitchen)




Apple - Nano
(Sounds of happiness)




Benjamin Hubert - Diamond chairs
(A cheerful place to rest)




Laird Hamilton - Shorts
(No comment)




Paulette - Macarons
(Two will perk up your day)





The Odor - Tea
(A pleasant way to end the day)




Moroccan Poufs
(Put a smile in a room)




Vans
(Slip into the carefree feeling of your youth)




Moncler - Men's vests - Size XS
(A lively addition to just plain jeans)




Havaianas
(A dose of summer year round)



Okay, Okay...ONE of the above does not really belong in my "Ode to Color" theme. You guessed it...The pressed coffee makers. I dont drink coffee!
