KINDA BAZAAR

I spent a few days in Floss Los Angeles this past week and was blessed with an unforgettable dining experience. Yes, I said BLESSED because the food and ambiance were both quite heavenly. From the stunning decor to the innovative cocktails, and of course the flavorful food, everything seemed to have been heaven sent. Every bite of food is a guaranteed party in your mouth!  The Bazaar is located inside the swanky SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. You might want to take on a different persona while dining there, I chose to be "Victoria".  Vicky is accustomed to fine dining like this, so she felt right at home. If you are ever in LA and want to experience something kinda Bazaar, head for the hills!

Seriously, thee BEST Dirty Martini I have ever had and I've had hundreds!

NIKEiD

If there's one thing I HATE to shop for and spend money on it's running shoes. I hate working out. I am not all about checking in on FB every time I hit the gym. I mean who wants to brag about that?! I don't get excited about putting on my cute little workout outfit and BMCSTYLE hat to match. I do it because I LOVE to cook and eat! In order for me to be able to eat/drink whatever my little heart desires, I MUST RUN! Lately,  I've been lacking gym motivation. I will use any excuse to get out of it. "It's too cloudy outside", "Gym is too packed with New Year Resolutioners", or my personal fav "My eyelashes hurt".

But then like a sign from GOD, I seen these beautys named Nike Free Run 2. Not quite sure what the 1's looked like, but the sequels are gorgeous. Wait. Did I just describe a running shoe as "gorgeous"??? Anyway, not only was I impressed by the actual shoe capabilities, well let's just keep it real, I was sold when I found out I could custom desing them myself! So, my little fashionistas, while we love our 6inch heels, we definitely need to step our gym shoe game up! Visit www.NIKE.com shop and customize with NIKEid! See you at gym.....in 4 weeks! (That's the estimated delivery time ;)

SUIT SUPPLY S/S 2012

I can't tell you how much I appreciate a man in a well tailored suit! It is my weakness and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Women put so much thought and energy into looking their best on a daily basis. It's refreshing to see a man who does the same. A well tailored suit can perfom miracles for any man. So, when I stumbled upon this lookbook, I nearly booked an immediate flight to NY to visit this store in person. After a few minutes, I regained my composure and decided to spend hours on their website instead. Guys you MUST visit this site NOW! www.suitsupply.com Ladies, just go on there to drool over the models ;)

First let me start off by saying you shouldn't wait for February 14th to come around to perform a romantic gesture. If you really love someone, you show it all year long. Valentine's Day is cute for children who can exchange V-Day cards with their classmates. Once you become a legal adult, it's a day for suckers. I feel sorry for people who give in to all the corny commercial products like balloons, cards, candy, and the awful teddy bears. Overpriced dinners with prefixed menus and tacky red roses are the worst! So, with all that being said, here are 14 tips to help save you from becoming a certified "V-Day Cornball".

FELLAS:
1. Plan ahead, don't wait until the last minute.
2. Dress up! Throw on a jacket and tie, or suit.
3. Look your BEST (Fresh haircut/shave)
4. Smell your BEST (Shower/Cologne)
5. Be Unique - Instead of buying a card, write a note or letter.
6. When in doubt, always buy jewelry! Something stylish, not tacky!
7. Send flowers a week after V-Day, just because you really are sweet ;)

LADIES:
1. Don't make such a BIG deal out of this day!
2. Dress up! Wear heels and a dress that makes you feel confident and sexy!
3. Look your BEST
4. Smell you BEST
5. Cook up a romantic dinner at home
6. Buy something you would like to see him wear as a gift
7. Step out of your comfort zone for the night ;)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
