Keeping it in the Family

The HBO Go app was released at midnight last night and it has been getting awesome reviews and is already at #2, but you want to know what's even cooler? My dad was the head of development! Everyone is allowed to brag here and there right? My family has definitely kept the tech-y-ness in the family with my sister and myself, and I couldn't be more proud of my father. After all, he's the reason I am in software development as my main profession and I absolutely love it!

Now go get yourself the free app! And while it downloads- check out this tune:



It's a Happy Happy Friday in H&H land! Hope you have a stellar weekend my dears!

Prince Harry

So unless you've been hiding in a hole, you know the Royal Wedding is tomorrow! May be a sad day for Princess wannabes all over, but Prince Harry is still available ladies!



The Royal Wedding and my ladylike dressing obsession are overlapping creating an all out pinky, neutraly, pearly craze on my part. I love how Olive Palermo puts together a ladylike outfit, even if not always in light or neutral colors:

I love every piece of every one of those outfits! What do you think- can OP give Kate Middleton a run for her money?

Game 7

My mind has been overrun with thoughts of Blackhawks hockey and Game 7 tonight. Until this game is over and I can return to my normal fashion and music crazed self- enjoy some inspiration courtesy of a heads up from my friend LQ:

Looking to May

With all the gray surrounding Chicago's April I'm currently craving the dainty combination of gray and pink. Spring just happens to put me in a silky, pearly, champagney mood- what about you?

I may or may not have the energy to get all gussied up this evening- Chicago winning so hard last night has resulted in mediocre energy at best today. Still- a friend put me on to The Knux's "Powder Room" this morning and if I have any chance of making it out tonight it will be because of this energy infused jam:

Morning Obsessions

Thanks to a MAJOR heads up from my dear Olive over at Olive and Fashion- I now have 2 obsessions this morning: Some Zimmerman swim suits I discovered this morning and the music of Rizzle Kicks via Olive. I'm just going to let these speak for themselves:

"Yelle" if you like Ginger + Liz

While I haven't talked about it too much yet- you may or may not have noticed the "Present Polish" section of this site. Why 'Present Polish' you may ask? Answer: I have a mild obsession with nail polish...and by mild I mean I can't get enough of it. I am about to unleash one of my greatest recent nail polish finds upon you. The Ginger + Liz selection of colors is beyond amazing and I just had to share the love with all their bold colors for Spring, Summer, and year round. Here are my current faves:

Ivy League

Keep Me Interested

Boy Toy

Hot N' Bothered

New Money



He's So Into Me

LOVE the names- just adds to the awesomeness. Expect to see those colors in the "Present Polish" section soon!

On a music-related note...no pun intended... I am super excited I just scooped up some tickets to see Yelle when they come through Chicago the first weekend of May at The Bottom Lounge. Loving their latest CD "Safari Disco Club"!! Check out the same titled song:

70% Off Findings

Infusion

As I am currently eying a pair of Ferragamo flats I decided to look at some of the clothing... and Cruise 2011 puts a big smile on my face- if only we had the weather. I think what I like about the collection is its beyond clean lines and simplicity. While I am never one to shy away from some glitz- I can appreciate well made pieces that you can dress up on your own or enjoy in all their simple beauty:

I also just happen to be having a pretty serious scarf moment right now and kind of adore the one used in this collection.

Happy Tuesday my dears!

American Mourning

Ok- maybe America isn't mourning over this, but I know Chicago hockey fans were not exactly happy after the Blackhawks first Playoff game on Wednesday. That aside, we play tonight and I know our boys can pull it out and beat the Canucks tonight! Even with my ever-growing love of hockey, I'm not sure what to think of these Dsquared shoes for Fall 2011:

Don't they look like ice skates?!

I do however like these boots from the same collection:



As much as I wish I wasn't thinking about Fall shoes already, the weather is still so blah here in Chicago that it almost feels like Spring will never come! Lets hope it decides to show soon- I kind of hate how this city seems to only have two seasons, Winter and Summer.

On and On

As mentioned last week, new job started this week. I'm keeping super busy but thought I'd dish out this mid 90s song that began my random 90s rampage exposed via Twitter last week. If you missed it, lets just say I can't recall ever typing (and/or saying) the phrase "jock jams" that many times in one day. I'm pretty sure my search history looked crazy...

Anywho- you may recognize this song from the ending of the movie "Mean Girls" or I've been told some other more masculine movies as well:

What's in A Name

Thank you to my dear friend John for the awesome new header! With my new name design I feel reinvigorated! Last day at the soon-to-be old job. Looking forward to starting fresh with Spring, a new job, and a wonderful new Headphones and Hemlines header!

Way Out West

Why gray, why?!? Wish I was playing on the beach out west...

via fashionlover

I strongly suggest playing "Survival" by Way Out West and going through the images one more time- they seem to be a match made in heaven- don't you agree?:
