just because...

there is something so special about a "just because" gift...personally...i love them almost as much as i love giving them to friends and family...what does it signify?  basically...someone thought of you and only you when they saw a certain object...

in this case...it was this lovely wine glass...which my sweet friend linda saw...and immediately thought of me...awww...how does that not warm someones heart?  she presented it to me while we were having a girls chat session over several pomegranate martini's...

the wine glass has lovely lipstick and hats all around it...and "not a day over fabulous" written in pink & black...i'm sure my wine will be tasting better when it is served in this glass...

thanks linda!  love yah girl!

stylish afternoon tea...

one of my most favorite things to do...is having afternoon tea at some swanky hotel or restaurant...of course...being in the middle of summer...that is not an activity that takes place often...

so i was having lunch with of my dearest friends...and she was telling me how her niece had high tea at a place in london...which already sounds so fabulous to me...by the way...

but no...this is not your ordinary high tea...the berkeley london hotel serves their mouth-watering prêt-à-portea delicacies with a fashionista twist...all inspired by themes and colors of the fashion world...be still my beating heart...

The new Spring / Summer 2011 collection sees Victoria Beckham, Miu Miu and Tom Ford make their debut on the Berkeley’s tea stand as Prêt-à-Portea echos the season’s trends of vibrant yellow and orange, block colours, oversized flowers and white summer chic...

now i feel i must plan a trip to london...if not just for the high tea...
