Top Pick Thursdays: ALDO's Global Bazaar

Happy Thursday my lovelies! I've been seeing a lot of Awkward+Awesome postings on other blogs and I'd like to contribute a couple of my own as It's been an INTERESTING morning.

AWKWARD: At around 430 this morning, I was suddenly awakened by bright shining lights in our bedroom.  When I opened my eyes, I saw my husband standing by the door staring at me. Then, he said "how am I supposed to sleep with you laying like that?" Apparently, I LITERALLY kicked him out of bed in my sleep and somehow maneuvered my body horizontally across the bed taking up all his space. All I have to say is - innocent until proven guilty :) Opps.
AWESOME: It's a pretty awesome feeling to FINALLY fit into my favorite pair of jeans again.  Last night, I pulled out 2 of them (one from 4 years ago when my hubby and I first started dating and the other pair was from NINE years ago) and they fit again.  Can I get a hallelujah?!?! I swore I would one day fit into them again...so glad I didn't toss them out. Woot! Woot! I just did a virtual moonwalk across the room. :)

What kind of AWESOMENESS is happening in YOUR life today?? I want to hear!

Have you taken a look at Aldo's site lately?  They have a wonderful collection going on right now called Global Bazaar full of today's HOTTEST trends - bold colors, bracelet stacking, ikat prints, and amazing platforms you will LOVE.  I have SO many favorites I don't even know where to begin, but I should warn you, get ready for the sticker shock because EVERYTHING I found is under $100. Bam! Don't resist the feeling - I know you want it. These are my beautiful top picks for today.

Top Pick Thursdays: Alexander Wang Bag

Alexander Wang. Born 1984. Moved to NY at 18.  Started his first women's RTW Collection in 2007.  The rest is history.  WOW.  First, this kid is younger than me!  Two, he is SUPER talented.  Three, I LOVE his style - a little grundgy, inspired by the 90's, and a splash of French chic.  BAM - that is success and my top pick for today.

I am currently drooling (literally) over this bag.  Some may call it a box, some a bag, some even say it's a mini-suitcase.  I call it...L-O-V-E. Can't you see yourself sporting this beauty for work AND play?
