Things I Love Thursday

19 February 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

things-i-love-thursday

  • Twitter! It’s quite addicting, I must admit, but it is ridiculously fun! If would like to know what the ever mysterious moi is up to (that was quite possibly the worst grammatical mistake in a sentence), then follow, follow, follow!
  • Free coffee at Starbucks. On Valentine’s Day, I got a White Chocolate Mocha Expresso for free because the boy behind the counter said I was sweet. Things like this brighten my day; thank you, I-wish-I-knew-your-name-so-I-can-properly-thank-you Starbucks boy! =] Chey’s super sweet package also made my Valentine’s Day that much sweeter! I am really loving Barcelona Red on my nails.

  • Going on magnificent shopping sprees. Courtesy of my doting aunt, who, is like a second mother to me. I do love our lovely talks (the topics are quite entertaining!).  It was too kind of her to take me out for a aunt-niece bonding trip, where we shopped for an entire day, gossiped, and tried on ridiculously fabulous clothing. I’m quite excited about my loot from that trip; I must clean out my closet to make room for it all!
  • Boots. I’ve worn my black boots, on rotation, every day this week. Save the pink pumps I wore on Valentine’s Day. But other than that, black boots really are a wardrobe staple for the fall and winter months. Even if I’m wearing a simple jeans and tee combo, my Franco Sartos make me feel more put together instantly!
  • Victoria’s Secret. Oh gosh, how I just love that place. The beauty products, perfumes, and lingerie. Gooood stuff, darlings.

truffles

  • Chocolate truffles. Indulging in these delicious, truffles dusted generously with Valrhona cocoa are truly bits of melt-in-your mouth goodness. Closet to heavenly, I’d say, as long as it’s washed down with a glass of cold milk!
  • Muuusic. Yes, I’ve said this enough times that if you were given a dollar for every time the phrase was used, you would indeed be able to buy me those Gucci shoes. Not that I’m hinting at anything in particular… But Dexter would win his bet! ;]

xoxo,

La C.

    your Starbucks boy sounds like a sweetheart, indeed! =) you reminded me of that boy who was following me in junior high and always had that plastic cup of Coke to give me after school everyday, but i don’t drink Coke so it’s my bestfriend who’s happy.
    hmm, love that aunt-niece bonding, as well.
    Twitter, i pass on this one darlin’ as it isn’t good for my arm… 🙁 [cuz i know it’s addictive!]
    lastly, i’m sure i’m not the only one who wants to see this pair of black boots that has become your favorite!!!

    hugs & kisses,

    Chey*

    Darling, after reading your list, I feel complete and inspired. French truffles are my favorites. And shopping with a fun relative, great. I am lucky enough to have several relatives who like to splurge on me. But it’s my sister who has always spoiled me beyond belief. xo
