MUST LOVE JACKETS

Magazine browsing for a dinner recipe ( which I found--it was delummy ) and stumbled across this beauty by Mr. Klein.

We're bffs, he likes it when I call him that...

It's sorta like Ms. Jackson if you're nasty...

Okay, I'll stop now ;)

Fall/Winter 2011 please meet my dream coat for the season:

Isn't she a beauty ( with a pretty price tag [$460] :/  )

Oh, isn't that just the story of my life.

But in all seriousness. I LOVE this jacket! It's very much my style. If only I had an extra $400 to spare. This baby would be M-I-N-E!

NOTE: I've been browsing Macy's website and I haven't had any luck finding this coat.

I've seen a few similar, but nothing exact. ::frustrating::

I guess she and I weren't meant to be.

le sigh.

WHAT I'M TUNING INTO: "CALIFORNIA SOUL (DIPLO REMIX)" MARLENA SHAW

I finally decided to pay attention to the Fall 2011 Target add on tv today, instead of just muting the commercials. 

GOOD IDEA!

I discovered a new song (technically an old song), that I absolutely DIG!

(I also love the concept of the video--bocce ball!

I really want to try and play, but of course I have to find time...

When I was in Georgia last year it started to get BIG in Atlanta, and I never got a chance to go and check it out :( Hopefully I can talk the roomies into it. I think we'd all have a good time with it!)

With a little internet sleuthing I was able to track down the artist and the remix

(which is what I'm featuring here today).

Check it:

Oh, and if you're in the Brawl-timore area and want to check out a little Bocce Ball yourself check out one of these sites:

WHAT I'M DRINKING: BROOKLYN BREWERY (POST ROAD) "PUNPKIN ALE"

LOOK HERE!

When you say "Pumpkin Ale" I want the pumpkin taste to bitch slap my tastebuds in the face, and make my stomach yearn for more!

I want a full on 2nd degree assault!

I don't want the pumpkin flavor to wave hi to my senses,

nor do I want an innocent little tickle on my tastebuds.

I want FLAVOR people!

Is that too much to ask for?

Currently drinking:

Brooklyn Brewery (Post Road) "Pumpkin Ale"

I definitely don't hate it,

but I will say that it's not a beer that I will consider my 'go-to' for a fall seasonal/pumpkin brew.

CURRENTLY PINNING

Getting my mind prepared for fall even though the heat index in MD is at 106.
