Deck The Halls.......Fa La La La

Happy Holidays Dolls-

I absolutely love the holidays! Yes, I am a holiday whore. lol. However, I can do without the cold weather. I'm a summer baby. But, the holiday season  makes me feel all warm inside, and it is also an extremely busy time for me. There is always a holiday or birthday party to attend and an opportunity to spend time with family and friends.

Every Christmas I say to myself  "Self, you will start Christmas shopping early and  not wait until Christmas Eve to finish." Unfortunately, mission was not accomplished. Yet again, I waited until the last minute to finish my Christmas shopping. Luckily, the malls weren't as crowded as expected. So, I was in and out in 4 hours. lol.

The real reason why I always get stuck shopping on Christmas Eve is due to my shopping addiction. Initially, I began my Christmas shopping in November. But, I  get side tracked by my own selfishness. Hence, I forget the reason for my visit to the mall and start shopping for myself.

My company's holiday party was one of the first parties I attended. It took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Towson, MD. The theme of the night was "Night at the Oscar's." It included red carpet, lights, camera and paparazzi! Cute, Right? The dress etiquette was formal. Women wore long gowns and men in suits. Of course, I have to be different and rebellious. I chose a fitted women's red suit with a bow tie and a 4 inch black pump. The look was Fabulous, if I must say so myself.

                  I booked a room at the Sheraton.................

Just a pic before the party began! Always camera ready : )

Sissy Pooh and I...Doesn't she look Gorge!!

 We also had entertainment....singers, rappers and dancers.

Our Managers even did the "Dougie." HILARIOUS!

*I thought I had more pics, but a lot of pics mysteriously disappeared" : ( *

Bathroom Pics...Don't Judge me! lol : )

Tiara and I....She sang Beyonce's "Love on Top" and blew it away!

Moving on..........................

Oh, by the way......I was selected for jury duty during the week of all the festivities! Ugh! I absolutely hate Jury duty. And, I just knew they weren't going to choose me, because they never select me!! WRONG! I was chosen for a 6 day trial as madame Foreman : ( Nevertheless, it was a mini vacation from work!

My best friend in the whole wide world Ryan is one year older this year!! We have been friends since middle school. At times, Ryan and I have a volatile relationship. We both are so honest with one another, that we tend to butt head at times. We break up and make up all the time. She knows anything I say to her is out of love. We can argue one day and not talk for days....but we always seem to forgive and forget. That's true friendship....Love my Doll! Don't know what I would do without her.

She invited a few of the gals to Milan's on Friday to help celebrate her Birthday. We dressed up and were in route to the party, when Ryan called me and advised that Milan's had a water main break and was now closed. : (

So, she moved the party to Mansion. Thia was my 1st time at Mansion. Although, it wasn't crowded, we still had a ball. We make the party wherever we go! Cuz we like to party, Ayeeeee!!

The Birthday Girl! She looks HOT! The shoes were to die for!!

My bestie is such a diva! : )

SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!

Riel

Ryan's Bday Cake! Cute! Right? And it actually tastes good!

The following weekend, I attended my co-worker Tonia Tree Trimming Party for a couple of hours, than I hurried to Dee and Benny's Holiday Tree Trimming Party. I will post a new blog next week for the rest of the Holiday festivies. It's too much to post for one blog! lol. Happy Holidays Everyone!

Picture on Instagram! I LOVE LOVE Instagram! Gives my pics LIFE!

Smooches : )

I DIE...............The King & Queen of Hip Hop!

I love Rachel Zoe! Now, I adored her prior to her fame as a reality TV star. She is a fashion stylist best known for working with celebrities, fashion houses, beauty firms, advertising agencies, and magazine editors. Zoe officially announced that she will be releasing a clothing line, with the intention of turning it into a full lifestyle brand. The line was released this Fall 2011.

 Zoe intends on wearing the brand, which is completely different from her QVC line which she launched earlier in the year. Her line is intended to contain accessories, shoes, apparel, and fur vest. And recently, Zoe gave birth to a son, Skyler Morrison Berman.

Isn't this the cutest!!! lol..Look at his infant-size sunshades! He actually looks like a mini version of Elton John! Nevertheless, It's FABOLOUS!!!!!

When I decide to become a mother...I would LOVE to have this limited-edition Missoni Bugaboo Stroller! The covet-worthy collection features a Bugaboo Cameleon sun canopy and bassinet apron in a bright block print ($269), as well as a Bugaboo Bee sun canopy in colorful zigzags ($199). Added bonus: Each set comes with a luxe knit blanket for baby. Its bananazzzzz!!

Maybe I can get it for Tiffy-Pooh, since we have a new edition to the crew in a couple of months. : )

Check out some pics from Rachel's clothing line. You can purchase the line in luxury retail department stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf.

On to the next......................................

Everyone knows that I am a HUGE Jay-z and Beyonce fan. Now, I always thought they were the perfect couple. The King and Queen of Hip Hop! Beyonce announced her pregnancy on the MTV awards several months ago. I immediately went into mourning!! : ( I love Jay and Bey, however, I'm a little jealous when it comes to Jay! I was ok with Bey being the wife, but I wanted to be the baby "mova." *dead serious* Anyway, the depression eventually passed and I was able to cope with the fact that she stole my MAN!

Beyonce's performance on the MTV awards was MAJOR! Only Queen Bey can announce her pregnancy with  such class!! I was screaming, my sis was screaming...and we replayed that moment a thousand times. Take a peep at the video...I know I'm late posting this....I'm sure she's due soon. lol..However, school preoccupied my time, so I'm playing catch-up with Pop culture.

*Screaming* and *Tears*

I played this song on my way to work every morning for a week, after her performance!

It was my morning inspiration!

Awwwww.......this moment was so endearing and heartfelt!! Their love is so beautiful! Jay looked extremely happy!!! Every woman wants a man to look at her like he looks at Bey!  *Tears*

She is beautiful pregnant. Now, I have to find 10 people who would like to go

 half on a baby shower gift. *serious face* lol...I was thinking a Hermes diaper bag! lol

Also, check out this young lady. Her name is Syesha, and she is an amazing singer!! She blew me away with "Love on Top." Such an amazing talent! ***Girl You betta go OFF!!!!!!!!

Smooches!

PassPort To Paris!

After our magnificent night out on the town. We had breakfast before we boarded the "Duck Tour." I'm sure your wondering what is a "Duck Tour"?  In simple terms, the Duck Tour is a huge boat tour that takes you on a journey of the famous Miami landmarks before a dramatic “splashdown” in beautiful Biscayne Bay for a close-up look at the many homes of the “Rich & Famous” on Star Island. We decided to participate in the Duck Tour to provide the "Miami Virgins" a glimpse of this beautiful city. It was actually fun and very interesting! The tour guide was hilarious and she went over some important historical information in Miami.

After the Duck Tour we decided to do a little shopping. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything that caught my fashion eye : ( Which is surprising - whenever I travel I always find a least one nice piece.

We did find a small little vintage shop...What caught our eye was the 60% discount on the entire store. The store was very unique and carried quite a bit a designer shoes.

* I took pics, however I know longer have my Crackberry, so I lost my pics : (    #teamiphone

After a long day of shopping, we grabbed a bite to eat at one the restaurants. Miami is considered a high profit tourist location. And there are a ton of similar businesses and restaurants in competition with one another. Therefore, if you walk Restaurant Row, the hostess and waitresses plead with you to dine at their establisment. Its a little pathetic and a nuisance.

Anywho....Look what we stumbled upon!!

My drag queens!! This was clearly the best entertainment ever! And one the cuties, said the girls and I were the best dressed women he has seen down there. His words "Y'all are fierce! Very classy!"
He was such a sweetie pie. And the first round of drinks was on him! Talk about Miami hospitality ; )

Later that night Nakita and I hit up Liv. It was ok! Its really overrated. Just my thoughts!

The next day we did some more shopping. We made a pit stop pass the Kardashians boutique. I love the Kardashians.While Kim maybe the most popular out of the bunch. I have to admit that Kourtney is the most stylish. Oh, and we cant forget Momma Kris! I live for momma Kris. She is such a diva.

We didn't make any purchases in DASH. The prices are completely over priced. But, they have some nice pieces.

After 3 days in the sun. We all missed home. So, back to Bmore we went!


Immediately, after landing in B-more. Nakita and I rushed home to get jazzy for my best doll 30th Birthday Party. We literally had 3 hours to get dressed and make it to Teia's party. The evenings inspiration was "Passport to Paris." You needed an invitation to attend, and the dress code was formal. Everything was superb, from the red carpet introductions to the slue of decadent appetizers.
Check out some of the pictures from Teia's Fab Party.

Screaming!!! HAPPY BDAY TEIA!!!!!

The Bday Girl! Isn't she Lovely! POW



The Lil Waitresses!

Tiff did most of the planning because Nakita and I were in Miami. And, she did a magnificent job. Now, I'm not just saying this because Teia is one of my besties. However, this was one of the best parties I have ever attended. And, you all know how difficult it is to impress me. It was an evening of maturity and sophistication. Love being around my Dolls. We had a ball!

And Kudos to Patrick the Chef for working his magic in the kitchen. Talented young man!
My apologizes if I missed anyone...........there were too many pics to post.

Smooches ; )
