From The Editor: "I can't whistle or wink!"

I've been tagged by Boutique Mix to post 7 random facts about myself. Well since I'm new to the whole Meme thing and am pretty sure that I'm probably the last person to get tagged. I am going to switch it up a little bit. I will post 7 random facts about myself and 1 quote. Yes, I'm changing the Meme. I have no idea if this is legal or not. I may get arrested by the Meme police but I'm willing to take that chance. So read on for 7 random facts about me, 5 which are quite embarrassing I might add...

Random Fact #1: My best friend is my dog Maji. She's half pit-bull and half chow chow. I rescued her eight years ago from some guys that were going to use her as a fighting dog (think Micheal Vick). I admit, she can be a little aggressive at times, but she's such a sweetie to me!

Random Fact #2: My favorite movie of all time is Steel Magnolias (knock it was on last night). I can't even tell you how many time I've seen this movie. At one point I had actually memorized every word line for line. You've just gotta love Trudy!

Random Fact #3: I have this habit of writing my name over and over again in cursive when I'm bored.

Random Fact #4: I can't whistle or wink!

Random Fact #5: I had trouble determining right from left for the longest time! In fact I didn't solidify the difference between right and left until high school when I started driving! I know pathetic. My excuse? I actually believe that I missed that day in the first grade. They never went over it again!

Random Fact #6: My very first boyfriend now lives in New York with his lover! He was the first boy I kissed in the fourth grade when he got off the bus and ran to my house to confess his love for me! He picked some flowers from my mothers rose garden and gave them to me and then we kissed (g-rated)! Yes it was magic! Throughout junior high and high school are romance remained platonic. We both took vows during our junior proms to save ourselves until marriage. I recently found out he lives in the NYC with his lover of five years! If only I had seduced him in high school... LOL!

Random Fact #7: My favorite place to shop? Thrift stores. I guess there's just something about being able to walk into a store and knowing that absolutely nothing is out of your price range. On rainy days I'll got to a consignment or goodwill store and literally spend hours just shifting through the racks looking for great pieces to add to my wardrobe. Hands down, my favorite finds are usually accessories. I love vintage jewelry, belts, scarfs and handbags. Of course every now and then a store attendant completely drops the ball and prices a designer item at a price much too low. My most recent score, a classic Chanel white quilted handbag for twelve dollars!

What I Just Bought: Easy Glamorous Pieces at Pink Mascara

As I gear up for the warm weather of summer I am looking for pieces which are glamorous yet low maintenance. This summer proves to be ultra low-key and fun as I plan to embark on getaways to sunny Sedona, vibrant Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When I'm not traveling abound, relaxation will take precedence on summer weekends. Weekend jaunts will include The Cape, The Hamptons and New York City weekends shopping in Soho, dancing in the Lower Eastside and brunching in New York's infamous sixth district, Hoboken.

Rachel Pally U Ring Body Suit in Sunflower
Luxuriously soft pieces are a great addition to any wardrobe. This Rachel Pally U Ring Body Suit in Sunflower has an adorable ruched U detail on front. Made from Rachel Pally’s signature modal-spandex blend, wear it alone or as a cute top with your favorite bottoms.
-

-
The beauty of this piece is it's versatility. Whether it's paired with one of Springs fun printed skirts, trousers and heels, or simply worn with a cover-up on the beach, this swimsuit sets the stage for easy glamour. It's even great for worn with just a sun hat and heels while strolling around those sexy poolside bars in Vegas. Plus I'm absolutely crazy about canary so this piece is a must-have all the way!
-
Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote in Snake
A classic from Foley + Corinna in a new shimmery hue. This Foley + Corrinna Mid City Tote in Snake is soft and ready to go out on the town. Tan leather handbag has zipper pockets with tassels on front and back for easy storage. Detachable strap, gold hardware, black canvas lining and two zipper pockets inside. This Foley + Corinna tote is both adorable and versatile.
-
-
My philosophy on handbags, invest in a high quality bag in a neutral hue yet trendy shape, which can be easily carried day after day with regaled affection. Purchase fun and funky styles in the form of clutches and canvas totes. I have been on the hunt for a versatile Spring bag for some time now! Don't get me wrong I love my Botkier but hey now that the sun is shining brightly it really is time to retire my gray leather bag for a more fun functional style in a lighter hue.
-
Milly Coin Beaded Bib Dress
Bright and full of eye-catching details. This Milly Coin Beaded Bib Dress in Turquoise is gorgeous. Turquoise halter dress has a ruched waist, coin beads along front and back and a fun yellow print. You'll love this long dress by Milly for any occasion.
-

-
This is one of those statement pieces that just says it all. I have always been a big fan of Milly but this is my first official piece from the designer and I just adore it. I think the beautiful print as well as the gold coin embellishment sets just the perfect balance between easy and glamorous that I plan on delivering this season. It's perfect paired simply with a flat metallic sandals, wind-blown hair and a sun-kissed face. I can't wait to wear this dress!
-
Loeffler Randall Dorrit T-Strap Sandal
Looking for a pair of sandals that will go from day to night? You'll adore these Loeffler Randall Dorrit T-Strap Sandals in Rose Gold. Metallic pink leather sandals have a ruffle strap and gold buckle on ankle strap. Wear these flat sandals by Loeffler Randal all year.
-
-
-
Shoes are usually my one weakness! This year I've actually done a remarkable job at keeping shoe purchases to a minimum. Albeit, I have grown quite accustomed to purchasing "investment" shoes in classic hues like black, brown, and tan. I figured with the warm weather upon us it was definitely time to kick off my "functional" Ellen Tracy's for a more carefree and stylish sandal.
