Kangoo Jumps

via Kangoo Jumps

Yes, you too can jump around like a Kangaroo. So I'm sure you've heard of shape ups, the sneaker that tones your legs, well get ready for this, the Kangoo Jump is a shoe trampoline. Yes, a portal trampoline on your feet. You can use them for jogging, running, aerobic classes, rehabilitation, and more. They are reported to have some great benefits for weightloss, posture and joint improvement. Although a bit funny looking, I guess they serve a physical purpose. Not sure if I would run in Central Park with them but maybe I'll wear them to my next Zumba class.  

Make a statement

Show someone you care; make a statement. Can't go wrong with this ring. He has your heart by his teeth. Must be love.

Letter Rings - Bridesmaids Special via Bittersweets

Well this brings back memories. As a kid, I had a necklace with my name on it. Thought I was the coolest person. Now my bridesmaids can be cool just like me with these rings. ;)

Spring 2010 Gucci

Things I like from Gucci this season via Saks...

Gucci Long-Sleeve Gathered Dress

Parachute Biker Jacket

a white boot is always great to have, especially on a nice Summer night.

Jungle Open-Toe Ankle Boots

Gray is a really hot color this Spring. I'm seeing it in H&M, Saks, Henri Bendel. I'm currently looking for stables to keep in my wardrobe since it goes with pretty much everything. I tend to be drawn to the color black but gray goes well with peach, coral or pink. Try to incorporate gray even with a bag like this one...

Techno Horsebit Medium Hobo

Floating Beads

Langani Pearl necklace

I once saw a wedding show that featured a bride in search for her wedding jewelry. She wanted to stand out and so she purchased this cheap looking necklace that was way too bright for her features. It took away from her dress completely. Well, her wedding planner suggested she go with something simple and yet shiny. He introduced her to a gorgeous necklace with floating beads and pearls on a fish string. I love the look because it was so elegant and yet trendy. I'm in search for such a look for my wedding day and so I am across these on Langani.

Rehearsal Dinner

I have wedding prep on the brain. I'm came across some dresses from Alice+Olive and these are great for any special occasion, especially a rehearsal dinner.

Tory's Spring line

I heart Tory Burch! Her clothes have such a laid back style but you can dress them up with a pair of heels. You can wear them to the beach, to a function, or around the house. Her spring collection exhibits her easy attitude with a little flair. Check them out at Saks.

Easter Weekend Food Fest!

Hope you all had a great weekend.
I spent most of the weekend in the kitchen and out with family enjoying some Easter cuisines. I gave up chocolate for 40 days, and boy, did I make up for that time yesterday. I indulged in various chocolate desserts made by moi. I also received loads of chocolate from the fiancé and aunt. I think I will give up chocolate more often.

Since we were in lent till Sunday, Tom and I avoided meat, and so I prepared a creamy coconut and spicy Indian vegetable dish with wheat couscous. For Sunday, I prepared a flourless chocolate cake with ganache and a peanut butter chocolate pie. Later that night, we received sweet bread or Tsoureki and some Greek cookies from Yia-Yia.

Sunday, I was in the mood for something light so I made us some crepes with berry compote. We both shared in the traditional egg cracking by saying "Christos Anesti." We spent the afternoon at Stamatis enjoying some grilled octopus, various dips, chicken kabobs, and lamb.
Check out some of these culinary adventures from the weekend.
