OMG, I’m so excited!

 Marni for H&M is coming in March — I have died and gone to heaven. Usually I dream about designers collaborating for H&M since we never had a store in Denver. But NOW we do! Am I going to be one of those ridic people waiting in line? Maybe. Although, I’ve got my fingers crossed that their stuff might be too funky for most Denver people. That’s why I love shopping at the H&M in St. Louis . . . .

Hot Mama Jams

I don’t know about you, but I always need to have a mix of nice, fun, loud, often profane music to either play in my car (alone, of course) or for a good cardio workout. Here’s what’s in my ears these days:

Music Wednesday

Happy Cinco de Mayo lovelies! Somehow, I have managed to volunteer for a Cinco de Mayo celebration at my kid’s school and have a fiesta at my house tonight. I really need to learn how to say no.

Some of the activities today include: count the beans in the jar, pass the pepper, Mexican hat dance, Mexican musical chairs, among others. I was trying to figure out a Mexican red rover, but instead it would be the border patrol you would have to break through. I figured this might not go over so well . . .

Here’s the playlist we are playing today. It’s sort of a latin hip-hip/Reggae — I like the blend.

Have a margarita today, see you manana.

Remember Say Anything? I loved this scene — so romantic.

So, it’s music Wednesday again. I thought I’d share some slow jamz with you. I use this music for my pilates classes or for the kitchen when I’m cooking, or cooking in the bedroom . . .

Nobody puts baby in a corner . . .

I loved my pregnancy. I was sick maybe once, I only craved salads and it was summer — so I spent most of my time at the pool. I also loved coming up with creative outfits. The tee above is so fun (plus what a great thing to save).

Look at this sweet Baby ring. Love & Victory also makes cool silhouette charms and personalized rings. Great Mother’s day idea.

Just look at this nursery. The cot (as the Brits call it) is stunning. And I love the painted white floor. This alone makes me want to have a baby.

This awesome clutch can also be used as a diaper bag. I couldn’t stand lugging around a diaper bag . . . . Plus, if your man has to hold it for a little while, he probably won’t mind as much.

WWMD?

I saw Glee for the first time tonight. The only reason I watched was because it was their Madonna episode. What a great show — I think I might be hooked . . .

And now for this week’s playlist. I have a client going on vacation for 6 weeks — Hello, can I have her life? Anyway, she requested fun music to run to. So, Serena, this list is for you. Have fun.

Listening to all that Madonna made me nostalgic, so I made a playlist with her first album and Prince’s Purple Rain for my car. Can’t wait to pop it in tomorrow! Remember this video?

After my hellish day yesterday this print just made me laugh. I’m so happy we get fresh new starts everyday. Let’s see if I can keep from yelling at my kids this morning . . .

What are you up to this weekend my girlies? I am in Phase I of office clean-out at home. Wish me luck . . . here are some things I found for you on the web: Enjoy!

Cute dishes for your kids from one of my favs in Manhattan

So many sandals to love.

As I get ready to move, the cool pad inspires me to pare down.

What would happen if you “spilled” your bag? Is it time for a bag clean-out?

Try this for brunch. The fennel apple salad sounds especially yummy.
