In Need of Glamour @ 1:38 PM
So it happens every now and then that I need a serious shopping therapy trip. I rarely get those, first of all because I'm usually broke as a joke and second because I need to do it alone. I HATE shopping with people! The only person that has the tolerance to keep up with me is my mother but I think she gets kind of fed up with me as well. Ever since I gained all this weight with my last pregnancy shopping is alot more difficult and frustrating for me. I wish i was born in the era of cinched waists and glamour galore. I love the drama, the ruffles, the rouge lips, soft waved hair and all around femininity of those days. I'm a big fan of black and white movies and musicals. Vintage fashion always has a way of showing its influence in everyday fashion trends and the feeling accompanying it is just so fabulous to me. I was definetly born in the wrong era, I've always thought that. Its funny that I should love all this stuff so much considering thats its the complete opposite of who I am.
The women were so beautiful and always looked so glamed out:
Maria Felix
(everybody thinks I was named after her but alas I was not)
You can't bring up old hollywood glamour without having Marilyn pop in your head. She embodies everything about the old look I love so much.
I love seeing how they incorporate the old glam into the new glam:

Day #5:
I want a house. MY own house where I can raise my family. I have never been too big on the whole house with white picket fence dreams but I think I'm gettin to that point in my life that I do want that. I want a place where my kids can grow, somewhere where we can bring our grandkids to once my girls are older. I feel like I should already be in a place of my own so this is on the ASAP list.

Day #6:
Ok so I had to change the name up a bit considering that Christmas came and went already, but the list must go on. This is a preview of my next post. The next item on my list would be cosmetic surgery. Yup, going under the knife for the sake of beauty. Yea yea say what you want, its superficial blah blah blah. If you had the money to do it you would or have already for some of you. I wouldnt touch my face though. I hate seeing girls with fake lips or uneven eyes. I would go all out with the body though.
Things don't look quite the same after having 2 kids and I've never been too happy with the way my body looks, even prior to the kids, mind you now I WISH I still looked like that! The worst thing for me is my tummy so first on the list would be a tummy tuck. Lets face it, sometimes exercise just isnt enough:
I would be more then content with my stomach looking like this. Ab definition can be worked on.
Next would be the liposuction to get those pesky little back rolls (dont judge, the second kid did a number on me) and get rid of that damn thigh rub that makes me think over whether I want to wear a dress, skirt or shorts. I wonder what its like for these bow legged bitches to not know what the hell it feels like for their thighs to rub together.
On to the next one! Now why waste all that fat that will be sucked out?? We are living in eco-friendly times right so in order for there to be less human waste lets use it! How a bout a Brazilian Butt Lift? A Brazilian Butt Lift has a natural feel because you're using your own natural body fat, much better then implants. With Fat Grafting you get two body contouring procedures in one.
Now as much as I am willing to do this stuff to myself I'm not too sure about implants, breast implants. All of the procedures I've mentioned have involved me reducing and reusing my own fat and tissues, none require me to insert and vessel any foreign objects in my body. So I would be ok with smaller breasts as long as they look nice and a little perkier, so a little breast lift would suffice.
Alot of people might think me crazy, alot of people might consider me vain, even insecure. Perhaps they are all right to some effect. The only thing I am certain of is that I am tired of looking away from the reflection in my mirror. I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and at times feeling like I just want to rip it off. I was always the chubby one between my cousins, always felt like the chubby one between friends even though I wasn't. I have never felt happy with myself and after bearing two kids it has been not just a physically draining experience but also an emotional and mental battle within myself to learn how to wear the stretch marks proudly, which I've learned to do but when I know there's extra baggage I'm carrying around that makes my clothes not fit me right or makes people (men and women alike) look past me at the pretty, svelte girl behind me then it takes a huge toll on my self esteem. I guess I've just always wondered what it would be like to be the girl that turns heads.

With that said, here is my next wishlist item...now this one should be number 1 on the list but these are all in no particular order and this is just something that I need in my life NOW! I'm talking about a trip to an exotic vacation destination, I'm talking about about a Fiji all-inclusive exoctic island resort - Turtle Island *sigh* A vacation with my other half here would be ideall. Um...perhaps even an ideall...wedding destination *clears throat*. Just saying:

I think I'm the only person I know that does not own an ipod or a Mac anything for that matter! I've wanted an itouch since they came out on the market and I think that if someone doesn't actually get it for me this might be my christmas gift to myself, it's definetly something I will make good use of. I love music and since I never watch TV at home I would like something that I can use to catch up on my House MD episodes that I miss while I'm on the go.

Every girl needs a pair of classic black pumps in her wardrobe and what better shoes to have in your closet then a pair of Christian Louboutin declic leather black pumps?? I am not used to wearing very high heels anymore, to be honest with you they KILL my flat feet but hard hitting designer fashion does not always mean pleasure without pain. I love these shoes, the smart and sophistcated look will match anything you pair them up with, whether it be a pair of leggings or a pencil skirt and the high stiletto heel will lengthen your legs, which is a big plus for lil' me. These particular shoes are last years model and I have not been able to find them again but I had originally seen them on

If somebody could pay for Molly Maid to come into my apartment and clean it all for me I will love them until I take my last breath of life!! My biggest challenge with maintaining a decent apartment, especially while working a 9 to 5, is to be able to clean my WHOLE apartment in one shot. I have to clean a couple of areas one weekend and the rest on the next weekend so that by the time the week is done what I had previously cleaned is already all messed up!! Having two small kids that toss stuff around just for the sake of tossing stuff around does not help the cause. I cant wait to be able to live somewhere where I have my own washer and dryer so I can do laundry at anytime I want and I dont have to worry about having to save my loonies and quarters. Yes, this would definetly be a greatly appreciated gift. I know this isn't the kind of thing you would find on a normal wishlist but when you lead the kind of life I do I would sacrifice a new pair of shoes for this! Blasphemous...I know!

I love to read so this is something that I've been itching to get for a long time now. The Reader Touch Edition-PRS600R. I love books and nothing can compare to the feel of actually holding and flipping the pages of one but when you travel around on public transportation a novel isnt the lightest thing to lug around in your purse and it takes up alot of space in there. Another reason I want this is because that way I can keep my books in good condition rather then have my little one get to them and turn them into her personal activity books, as much as I love watching her creativity grow I would prefer she didn't do it in the pages of my favourite books.
I love the touch screen on this one, much better then The Pocket Reader Edition-PRS300R. You can access up to 350 (or more with memory expansion card slots) of your favorite books from anywhere. The intuitive 6" touchscreen display makes navigation a breeze, letting you turn pages with the swipe of a finger. An included stylus offers freehand highlighting and annotation. With support for multiple file formats including ePub and PDF, you can enjoy books from more places, including The eBook Store from
Sony and over half a million free public domain titles from Google.

Christmas is fast approaching and my wish list is growing. I miss shopping, I mean stupid shopping though. The kind of shopping where you just go from store to store and just spend, spend, spend. Nowadays I can't buy anything for myself without feeling a pang of guilt and end up putting everything back and walking out empty handed, whether it be at a store or online. Do you ever do that? Do you ever window shop online? You fill up your shopping cart with all the things you like, let that bill rack up and then when its time to checkout...WHOMP WHOMP. You press that big red 'x' at the top right hand corner. I've always found shopping to be therapeutic, helps me get my mind off of anything thats bothering me and it makes me feel good. It's my happy pill. So I will be putting up some of my "If I Had Money" christmas wish list items so I can have somewhere to just come back and stare at them *pause* *hangs head and walks away*
Day #12:
OK so I have some serious thunder thighs and am short but I can definetly picture these stretch-leather leggings by Kiki de Montparnasse with some sky-high hidden platform heels to add length to the legs and definition to the lower body. They go for a cool $850 at
http://www.shopbop.com/ and its funny but I've never liked to buy leather clothing but this season I'm just lusting over so many leather items, most def a must have this season.
