This has been quite a busy work week so I am glad it is finally Friday! Ok today is all about my random ideas and thoughts.
1. Score! Earlier this week I posted on Beautiful Necklaces and I featured this Amrita Singh necklace. My sister sent me a text and said the $100 necklace is on sale for $24 at Hautelook. I immediately went over to Hautelook and clicked "purchase." And, of course my sister picked one up too!
3. And, while I was on vacation last week I came across this article in the Fashion and Style section of the NY Times magazine. I am sure many of you have heard of the book "French Women Don't Get Fat." This article kind of reminded me of that book. It's an interesting read if you have a few minutes to click on the link.
From The New York Times:
Aging Gracefully, the French Way
If there is a secret to aging well, Frenchwomen must know it.

Thought I would take a peek at Amazon and see what other books are available about French Women. Here's a few books books that look interesting.
4. Finally, I decided to make a list of things I really want to accomplish this weekend. (But notice this list only include FUN activities.) It is the first weekend in a while we don't have a lot of plans or things scheduled. I hope to accomplish the following.....
And do you have a list of fun things to do this weekend?
- Read at least half of the magazines that came in the mail this week
- Make this Gazpacho recipe I found in Cooking Light
- Bake cupcakes with sprinkles with my daughter this weekend
- Go to Core Fusion Saturday morning since I have not been in a while
- Go for a 5 mile run on Sunday
- Sit outside on our deck and enjoy this beautiful weather with a nice cold margarita in hand
- Hit at least one boutique for the summer sale. Moxie looks like they are having a good sale
And do you have a list of fun things to do this weekend?

Lunch In Paris is a fabulous book about a woman falling in love and moving to France. It even has recipes! I just finished it and want to read it again. It's been my best summer book purchase so far!
Seriously? $24/. That's amazing. What an incredible deal. I got a bubble skirt (addicted to bubbles) at J.Crew for $32. I love $32 when it's approximately 50% off. Totally made my week which has since then gone down the tubes.
Here's to the weekend!
Hope you have a great one. Congrats on that fabulous necklace. I'm thinking, based on melissa's comment, that I may want to read Lunch in Paris. :)
