2009 Holiday Gift Giving Guide

Has anyone else been drooling over the Chico's commercials this Holiday season?!? Who knew that Chico's was this fashionable.....cause I sure did not!

The commercials had me interested so I visited the site - I AM IN LOVE!
At the top of my 2009 Holiday Gift Giving Guide is the Parania Necklace ($58). Described as:

"An eye-catching, hand-beaded design with the look of scalloped lace--an airy statement style with a ladylike touch."

I can imagine this unique piece paired with numerous outfits in my own closet!

Want Some Seamen?

It's like Christmas in May Divas.....it's FLEET WEEK in New York, God Bless America!

Pull out your low cut dresses and short shorts, expensive panties, your diaphram, and some SICK pumps - the boys are back in town! (get excited) I don't even do boys and the site of the young, dapper, tight ab saliors in crsip white uniforms looking all nautical makes me a bit moist! lol

I must admit that I do not know what exactly happens during Fleet Week or why there even is a Fleet Week, yall can google it - back to the boys! lol With 13 US and Canadian ships docking (that is the correct word right, docking/parking/pulling in), there will be plenty of EYE CANDY for us all to see!!! (there are some servicewomen so I might get lucky too)

Anywho, get ready for the boy toys who serve our nation along with LOTS of liquor and some hot parties in the city's bars and lounges.
