Reunited!

I had a rough breakup a few years ago. When I started working full-time, I could no longer watch All My Children. It was a lengthy relationship that commenced when I was 3-yrs-old. Actually, I think I began watching it before then, but that's when I start remembering plot lines. I blame AMC for my flair for the dramatic. And it might be why I expect grand romantic gestures from the men I date. Ha!

Today I revisited Pine Valley. Thanks to Presidents' Day and jet lag from a weekend trip, I was plopped in front of the TV this afternoon when it appeared. It sucked me right back in! One of my favorite couples when I used to watch was Ryan & Greenlee. Then she died. But in today's episode she's alive again! Cool! Will she get back with Ryan? I will be DVRing!

Night on the Town

I recently moved to a new apartment and will no longer be walking distance to Hollywood & Vine. G. and I said good-bye to the neighborhood by embarking on a little bar tour. If you read L's List regularly, you already know that I do this occasionally in other cities. I can never decide where to go- so why not stop and have a drink at a bunch of places?

First stop was Kitchen 24. It was a cute place, but I was not a fan of the pear martini. Friendly staff. Trendy.

After, we made our way to Essex Public House. Best described as a hipster pub. There were not many people there around 9:30pm, but I hear it gets very crowded later at night.

Next was Geisha House. G.H. was very high-energy and fun. I sipped on a Japanese beer and people-watched. Restaurant meets night club (although I did not see a dance floor).
And you'll never guess where we went for last call! Yes, back to Dillon's (already featured here).I hope you all are having a great weekend and have fun at your Superbowl parties!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Awww...the groundhog saw his shadow today so it's another six weeks of winter! On a positive note, it's another six weeks to wear cozy sweaters and cuddle by the fireplace. :)

Grammy Favorite

How is everyone? I was moving this weekend and was not online, but I'm back with my pick for best dressed at the Grammy Awards.

My pick: Fergie.

Fergie's fun, mega-glam look is perfect for a music industry awards show. I really love every detail from the hair to the accessories. Gorgeous!



Runner-up: Taylor Swift

Although I tend to prefer less formal ensembles for the Grammy Awards, I also really like Taylor Swift's look...classic!

Sigh

I've had an awful day. Not life-changing awful...but you know those unfortunate events that only happen once in a long while? Like your house floods, or your car gets broken into, or you get in an argument at the office. Anyway, without getting into detail I had a few things like that happen all in one day. I'm lucky nothing was serious, but I want to shake that "argh!" feeling.

I think a cup of tea and this Catherine Malandrino dress would be just what the doctor ordered!


I hope you lovelies all had a better day!

SAG Awards

I'm always excited for the SAG Awards because I have the privilege to vote. It's always nice to see the celebration of great performances and I was happy that many of my choices won this evening. As far as fashion is concerned, these were my favorites on the red carpet:

Christina always looks elegant and gorgeous.

As you know, I love emerald! Go Lea!

Another color I adore.

All this rain....

...makes me want to walk around a city in Burberry like Emma.
