Couture Invitations, to die for!

I love invitations, and obviously for some people, they are not important, for others, it is the master key for your party. There are certain people that still go for the typical square, ribbon, lace, digital cheap printed, invite (get ready to go EEEK) Inside of a Cellophane Bag! Gag!!!

Coca Cola ...Lagerfeld Style....

The latest news from Chanel's leading man, The One and only Karl Lagerfeld, he will be featured on a limited-edition Coca Cola Light bottle (of course it has to be light).

The aluminum bottle has Karl’s profile on it — suit, ponytail and all! Coke has done a lot of these special collaborations with different designers, but I’m guessing this one will be pretty popular! You can buy an individual bottle for a few bucks, or for $80 you get a bottle in a special limited-edition box that has a drawer to store a matching bottle opener.

I’m not sure what you are supposed to do with these bottles..collect them? The single piece can be purchase for $4 online. Pre-order it at Collete.fr Must Have? Must not-have?

"Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive." - Karl Lagerfeld

Who doesn't have a sweet XL Cupcake Craving?

Cupcake Heaven!!!!- and this is coming from someone who is not a "dessert" kinda gal. Big Man Bakes is da' bomb!!!!.
 
I was woundering around East 4th Street in DWLA and I see this girl eating a mini cupcake, I mean is super mini, not even two bites, but it was cute and she was devouring it. I had to ask, where or where, she said, 'just around the corner' BIG MAN BAKES. 


Well, I got there, OMG it is the cutest bakery ever, I'm a sucker for Red Velvet so I order one and let me say Absolute Perfection. I said to myself, I have to have the Double Chocolate, it is made with Ghiradelli Chocolate, I melted.


The mini cupcakes ($1) you can purchase them to sample as well. Of course you have to get the XL ($3.25) !! ha!

Millions of Milkshakes - 10 gazillion calories but who cares!

First of all his is no Diner typical milkshake. What do you expect it is Hollywood. And this to me, is a new drug. It was created by someone who, if their other projects are any indication, wants desperately to be part of Hollywood's inside scene. Just think of the best milkshake you'd ever had multiply it by 10 times (not exagerating).


Their pricing is also off base. You pay $3.95 for the base for a small size, then 95 cents for each topping. So, even a minimal regular shake is about $7 dollars. I understand they wanted to keep things simple by using one price for each topping. But these toppings are not equal. You know "toppings" is the new way to-go when it comes to desserts today. They might consider a category of deluxe and regular toppings, with some being substantially cheaper than a dollar each. Bottom line: it costs alot. This, an $8 milkshake I guess it includes an opportunity to bump into a young wild child superstar every now and then. FYI, now serving Vegan Shakes (yuk)
Enjoy!
