Wish List Wednesday

This week’s Wish List Wednesday item is the Cotton Candy Grape.  Yes, you read correctly, there are really grapes, that you can buy in your grocery store, that are all natural and taste like cotton candy.   EXACTLY LIKE COTTON CANDY!!!!!!  But, rather than their sticky carnival counterpart, they are a fresh fruit that you can snack on all day long!!  These grapes are all the buzz from Good Morning America, to the Today show to Ryan Seacrest’s show.  They are only available from August 10-September 20th, so don’t wait too long to try them!

Book Club Monday

Since my reading pile has been growing, I thought I would take a break and tell you about two amazing movies I saw over my vacation on Amazon prime.  

The first was Two Night Stand (R).  The story is an “online hook up turns into a morning after disaster, when a paralyzing blizzard hits the city forcing two strangers to get to know each other far beyond the confines of a typical one-night stand”.  You can watch this fun (a few inappropriate parts but overall cute) movie for $2.99 HERE

The second movie was Before We Go (PG-13).  This is the story of “two strangers whose chance encounter in Grand Central Station sparks a nighttime adventure through New York City that will change their lives forever”.  You can watch this wonderful movie before it hits theaters HERE.

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

While writing this blog, I always say, “you never know who you are going to meet”.  Yesterday, I was visiting my friend Toni at Water’s Edge, a small waterfront community here in Rye and as I was parking, I saw the most fashionable duo walking to the pool.  We got to talking and one of the ladies had the most amazing home right on the water.  She also had the most amazing designer accessories.  Her home was full of fashionable finds.  She was kind enough to let me snap a few photos for you.  You see, you really never know who you are going to meet!!  Bon Weekend!!

Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is an instagram “friend” Marie Chantal Crown Princess of Greece.  MC, as she is called, is a international fashionista!  She wears the most amazing designers and puts everything together flawlessly.  An updated instagram post from her is a true delight.  She also has a blog.  You can follow it HERE.  I love all her looks but one of my favorites, is the last photo of her casual outfit with killer espadrilles.  I have included some espadrilles so you can dress like MC too!!!
