Tie Them Up – Summer Sandals

by 10 Comments

Hello pretties,
Tie up shoes and sandals are so popular right now and with the first big warm weather holiday right around the corner, now is a good time to snag some of these cute sandals. When it gets warm, I tend to pull out my ratty flip flops, but we can all elevate our summer style with tie-up sandals. I hand picked these styles all under $50, take a peek…

Don’t these scream summer time? Because the strings just go around the ankle, these will be easy to wear. The lower heels make them super comfy too. You can choose open toe, close toe, or thong style. I love how with this style you can show off a whole lotta foot or just a little bit based on the size of the strings and straps. I would pair these with pants, shorts, skirts or dresses. These are a nice choice for your casual summer style and at these price points, you can pick up a couple of pairs.

Do you like the tie up style? The pair from Old Navy is my fave!

Enjoy your weekend!

Suits – USA Network Wednesday @ 9

I loved this show from the jump! Legal shows always peek my interest and this one is so sleek and sexy. Set in New York, it centers on a law firm with a woman, Jessica Pearson(played by Gina Torres) at the helm, along with Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht). The female characters are not just assistants to the men, they call the shots and play pivotal roles in every episode. On top of that, so dang stylish, those suits Jessica rocks and the dresses that Donna Paulsen (played by Sarah Rafferty) rocks are not your standard office wear, no boring blue suits! Now the men ain’t shabby either, Harvey Specter reminds me of Cary Grant, handsome, smart and dapper, but then can recite lines from all his favorite movies. So Cool! And let’s not forget Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) who isn’t actually a lawyer but with his photographic memory, he plays one at the firm. Suits fast paced with interesting cases and unique office dynamics.

Complications – USA Network Thursday @ 9

This is kind of a medical show and kind of a crime show. The main character Dr. John Ellison (played by Jason O’Mara) saves the life of a boy involved in a drive by shooting, now the boy just happens to be the son of a drug kingpin, uh huh. The story follows how the Dr. has to keep this boy safe without being killed by gang members. Meanwhile, dealing with the death of his own daughter. I’m two episodes in and I’m hooked.

Mr. Robot – USA Network Wednesday @ 10

Now this show intrigued me because it centers around technology and how the main character Elliot Alderson (played by Rami Malek) is a hacker who hacks for good, if that makes sense. But then he’s solicited by a mysterious group to hack all the big companies that threaten our way of life – like a modern-day Robin Hood. It’s interesting. Elliot is kinda weird, but pulls you in and you know I’m rooting for the good guys to win.

Fear the Walking Dead – AMC Premiere TBD

This show has not aired yet, but I will be watching. It is the prequel for The Walking Dead, what happened before Rick and crew. This show features new characters and is set in Los Angeles, should be awesome and answer some questions like how did the virus start???

Big Brother 17 – CBS Sunday/Wednesday @ 8 and Thursday @ 9

17? Yep I have watched for 17 seasons and I can not let the summer go by without watching the shenanigans on this show. There’s always twists all season and the house-guests live in a house that is always so sick with extreme nautical decor, transparent floors, and cameras in every room, including the bathroom.

Loads of fun! You can see last summer’s picks here, Extant is back, woohoo. Now pull out your favorite summer lounge wear and grab this popcorn set for some great tv nights!

Are you watching these shows? Have a cool weekend!

7 Sizzling Summer Songs

by 12 Comments

Hello,
Saturday was the summer solstice, the first day of summer. I’m a summer baby but I’m not a big fan of the hot weather, but I do like the summer jams! I’ve curated 7 of my favorites that really get me in the mood for cookouts, pool parties, summer vacation and of course my birthday! These summer songs bring back so many memories – Freak-nic, clubbing eery dang Sunday – yeah – so bad on Sunday, and just kicking it with my girls! Now I fiddled and fiddled with the playlist and it wouldn’t play…bummmer!! But you can visit Spotify and listen for free! Oh, fair warning – adult lyrics.

Do you have a summer jam? Oh that #7, I remember that time at the club when…nevamind… Have a Marvelous Monday!

What’s On TV?

by 4 Comments

summer tv shows, sci-fi tv shows

Hello,
Happy Friday pretties! What a positive, peaceful and productive week and looking forward to an even better weekend. TV has been pretty boring with so many re-runs, but thank goodness for the summer tv lineup. This month marks the start of some really good tv watching while I wait for the return of Scandal and The Walking Dead. I’m sharing some of my favorite summer tv shows from CBS, TNT, and USA Network.

Summer TV Shows

Graceland – airs on Wed @10 on USA Network

A beautiful beach setting and a bunch of good looking under cover DEA, FBI, and Customs agents living their own lies. Gritty story-lines based on real life events. The setting and hip vibe of this show make it fun to watch.

Extant – airs on Wed @9 on CBS

Halle Berry is no stranger to the sci-fi genre – Hey Storm!! So it is no surprise to find her starring in this interesting show about an astronaut (Molly) who spends a year in space and comes back home pregnant – oh yeah, did I tell you Molly is infertile! Add a son who was “created” and this is sure to be a winner.

Falling Skies – airs on Sun @9 on TNT

Back for season 4!!Aliens come to earth and make the kids their slaves, WTW! A ragtag bunch of everyday folks, teachers, military, and biker boys lead by Noah Wiley fight the aliens and sometimes themselves.

Under the Dome – airs on Mon @10 on CBS

Talk about cray cray, not that aliens aren’t but imagine being cutoff from the rest of the world by an invisible dome. Yeah, that’s what happens. The town has to figure out how to survive and where did this dome come from. Survival of the fittest for real!

Big Brother – airs on Wed @8 on CBS

$500,000 is on line in this wacky reality/game show. Contestants live in a very cool house completely cutoff from the outside world and filmed 24/7. Each week they compete for Head of Household, who gets to dine on “slop” for the week and who gets evicted from the house. Oh the shenanigans on the this show – Big Brother After Dark, yes ratchet tv! Can’t believe I have watched 15 seasons of this show.

Royal Pains – airs on Tue @9 on USA

My favorite Hamptons Concierge Doctor – think MacGyver with an MD. Confession time, I watch this show for the cars, clothes, and beautiful mansions. Love Evan, he is a riot!!

What are you watching this summer?

Have a lovely weekend!!!
