It’s been quite rainy the past few days {as it often is} here in South Florida. It’s had me thinking of umbrellas and footwear. {It tends to be too warm here to wear a raincoat.}

Although, I was under the impression that this launched tomorrow, the embeddable code was available today.

So, Chanel or Dior? And, do you think that these short films as part of fashion ad campaigns are effective? Personally, I think they have caught my attention, and I think other bloggers, but I wonder if it is a cost effective move. Or, perhaps, it just doesn’t matter.

{p.s.}
Apparently, there will be a “Lady Rouge” next…

The past two weeks have been one ginormous blur of research on a variety of different ideas that have come up, including baked goods. One of my sisters is planning on baking and selling gourmet cupcakes, so we’ve been going a little crazy searching for inspiration and finding out what will be required. In the process of all that searching, I came across tons of great stuff, including a company in Brooklyn called Whimsy & Spice. They make these delicious looking goodies:

short bread cookies (check the lavendar, yum!)

Chocolate marshmallows

Chocolate Espresso Brownies

Lucky for all us non-Brooklyn residents, they have an etsy store!

When I first heard this song, I always did a little dance and imagined Bardot singing coquettishly. I then got my dear friend Cristela {aka lil’ hiawatha} hooked on it, and she looked up the video. To our surprise and amusement, it seems quite the opposite. Still adorable, though.

{Pour toi, Cristela!}

I wonder if I would ever have the balls to wear something like this. If the occasion presented itself, or perhaps if presented the occasion, I’d like to think that I would.
