Charting the style of daily life...with the mouth of a sailor.

dance it out...

fun and games, musicNavigate with StyleComment
I woke up this morning with a strong desire to hear a newly acquired record: Galactic Funk, music inspired by the movie Star Wars. Dancing out the morning blahs really brightened up our normal routine...fun was had by all.



I say turn off the boring and depressing news, turn on a funky beat and grooove!

It was a very good week...

Most Talkative by Andy Cohen was released on Tuesday and I'm super excited to read it! I'm obsessed with all things Bravo and I loves me some Watch What Happens Live. Andy has been promoting his book which lead him to a fantastic appearance on the Howard Stern show...two of my favorites collide!!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Howard Stern and this week has been a big treat for Stern fans everywhere. His media tour to promote the new season of America's Got Talent has given us tons of great clips from talk shows like The View, Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. I cannot wait to see Howard on AGT starting Monday, May 14th.

I try to avoid political topics on NWS but I'm strongly for gay marriage. I was extremely pleased with Obama's statement on the matter this week. Well done Mr. President.

For the last year I've been enjoying a reprieve from a nine to five job and I've loved nearly every minute of it. This week I did something I had never done before: I attended a weekday TinCaps baseball game at 11:05am! It was glorious and I felt so free...I won't forget that feeling anytime soon.

Last but not least: Mother's Day is this weekend and I want to give a hearty HOLLA to all the fantastic Moms I know. I've been "Mumma" for 4 years and it is NO JOKE. The extreme love I feel for my little guy coupled with the pressure of raising a happy, healthy and respectful child is the craziest combo but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

funky like penicillin...

inspiration, me, musicNavigate with StyleComment
I adopted this Beastie Boys lyric ages ago as my personal motto. It adorns my calling card as well as my living room in the form of this banner. I use it as my {casual} email signature, and I've ironed it onto a few t shirts. My love of Adidas track suits and shell toes come from my nearly life long love for the Beastie Boys. Never was there a trio of dudes as funky as Ad Rock, Mike D and MCA...Adam Yauch, you will be missed.


priti polish...

beauty, cosmetics, eco, spring/summerNavigate with StyleComment
I don't always sport a mani/pedi but when I do I like for my polish to be as eco as possible. Priti is one of my all time favorite nail brands because the company is deeply committed to non toxic beauty and has one of the most impressive arrays of colors out there. Their soy nail polish remover is not only non toxic but biodegradable to boot! To read more about their formulas and devotion to sustainability click here.

For the upcoming Summer Olympics in London Priti has created two special edition polish collections. The colors are gorgeous, especially the metallics which are perfect for pedicures as well as funky nail art.

Side note: Don't you hate it when a beloved beauty product or color is discontinued? It's the worst! Sadly, my favorite Priti polish, Devil's Fig, has met that fate so I'll make my last bottle s-t-r-e-t-c-h as long as possible. It was the most amazingly sheer and glossy highlighter yellow...sigh.
