Downtowners

This weekend I went to this new bar by my house... Bloody Mary's were $3, ALL martinis were $6 (I'm not a beer drinker but ALL beer was $2) and everything I tried was delicious at that! I'm used to paying $8 a drink downtown McAllen so this is mega good news! Nothing good has been coming from Downtown McAllen lately, this Saturday Gabriel's truck was stolen, gone, vanished, forever! So a warning to all you avid downtown goers: One of my friends got her window broken into to last month, 2 stabbings this month and Gabriel's truck was stolen this wkd. In other words: don't walk alone, BE SAFE and have that pepper spray handy ladiezz. I've been posting daily inspirations and photos on my NEW TUMBLR! Follow me if you have one ;) These are some things on my wishlist...

Friday night I hosted a Ladies ONLY bachelorette party for my future sis in law! We played adult games, drank cocktails & took "sperm shots" haha... sounds gross, I know. Some pictures might be a offensive to some but remember it was all fun and games. Brace yourself...

Tumblog

I've decided to cave in and get a Tumblr SO FOLLOW ME! It got pretty addicting during the 3 days i've had it so I decided I'm using it for fast pace blogging (more for like inspiration and new item photos) but I'm still going to continue longer, more detailed blogging here on blogspot! This wkd I went to my future sis-in-law's bachelorette party in Austin, TX. I took a lot of foreign shots and things got crazy. Met up with my bestest Austin friends, went for some Mexican tinis at Trudy's and did some shopping at Forever 21. I've been trying to restrain from buying unnecessary objects, I want to save my money better. I saw the movie "New York, I love you." It was one of those movies that never ends and almost leaves you hanging, but nonetheless it is a beautiful film about the millions of lives in New York and reminds you that everyone has a story of their own. I wouldn't blog about it if it wasn't worth seeing.

Swoon

I've been swooning over Julian Casablancas for about 12 hours now. I usually don't do this with anyone except for Adam Brody but there's something mysterious at sexy about this man that I can't figure out. I thought about moving closer to him, stalking him, then convincing him that we are meant to be.... then I decided to be a little more rational, keep it low key and just dedicate this blog post to him instead. Have you guys heard is latest CD? It's one of my favorites right now. Today is Thursday and I'm hoping to go see a movie and work on some designs with G-Cass. I forgot to mention that I will be selling at the NEVER SAY NEVER FESTIVAL. If you are a band, store, handmade small biz, non profit organization or whateverrrr and you would like to set up your table at the festival, contact me!

Menz can't read mindz

Valentine's Day is coming up and I know all you relationship people go all gaga over this Holiday, so I've been adding the cutest things I could possibly find to the store. Which means, PLEASE GO TELL YOUR BOYFRIENDS TO VISIT MONIKAPOLITAN.COM because boys, guys or men can't read minds and most of them don't know anything about online shopping for girls! Lots of new items are on the way! I can't get over the kitty watches... seriously, who wouldn't laugh at those ridiculous pieces of art!? The flower pot usb fans came in this weekend & I tested them out... probably one of the cutest items Monikapolitan carries! They plug right into your computer/Laptop or may also be battery powered and throw a nice breeze right at your face... genius! More items should be arriving shortly but for now visit Monikapolitan.com for cute Valentine's Day gifts for your boyfriend, girlfriend or best friend!

Gimme dat

It's always nice looking at editorials knowing you can't afford anything on them.... maybe one day? I found the Viktor and Rolf 2010 gown collection very intriguing. If I was doing red carpets, I'de totally snatch the one in the 2nd image with the pink bottom. I wonder if I would make it to the "Hott" or "Not" list. A new college semester has started for me as I continue with orders and finding new products for Monikapolitan.com. FREE SHIPPING ends at midnight and there are some cute new items added. The project we are working on (that I mentioned in the previous post) is moving along nicely. I feel so inspired. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

The Closet Debut

I started a BRAND NEW section at Monikapolitan.com called "The Closet" because I'm an impulsive buyer and most times beautiful clothes ends up lifeless in my closet and never used. I'de hate to see these (almost brand new) pieces go to waste so decided to put them up for sale for you to buy! Me and Gabriel Castle are working on a new project together and I can't wait until it comes out of our brainz and into the world. We are shooting for Spring Break 10' so hopefully the process runs smoothly cause that's right around the corner! As spring approaches expect a crap ton of NEW sunglasses and a major update on the vintage section.

Meet Mookie

Friday night as me and Gabriel Castle were bored looking for a house party (or anything for that matter) and I was straightening my hurrz, I noticed that when I clip up the top half of my hair to straighten the bottom half I look like a guidette... Snookie to be exact. For those of you that don't watch MTV: Snookie is one of the main characters from the reality TV show "Jersey Shore" and yes, she is serious. Gabriel and I couldn't stop laughing and got a little carried away with a quick photoshoot. I picked the douchiest pair of sunglasses that Monikapolitan has to offer, fixed my poof, applied the brightest red lipstick I have & we got to business. The picture after the mookie-ness was taken by Mitchell (outwithme.com) at Volta, I love that wall so much. Monikapolitan.com is offering FREE SHIPPING on all United States orders until Wednesday, don't be late and order for Valentines Day! The FREE goodie packs that I'm giving with each order are so cute!!

McTarget

Too good to eat, McDonalds got a "pretend" make over! How couture of them... these aren't actually going to be sold at McDonalds but they sure look like a thousand bucks! It's all part of an "Access Agency" that The Cool Hunter is launching. I'm semi-excited about the upcoming Zac Posen and Gaultier collections arriving to Target within the next few months! I'm not sure which I enjoy more but I'm looking forward to picking up a couple of pieces from each...

Polaroid girl

I had a pack of Polaroid Film in my fridge (which I had been saving for almost a year) but since they announced that Polaroids are COMING BACK I stopped being stingy and took them out of the butter section. And how exciting is it that Lady Gaga is officially the new "Creative Director" of Polaroid!! Her hopes in "blending the iconic history of Polaroid and instant film with the digital era" are underway and I have no doubt that this indeed will be a new era for Polaroid. Here are some scans of Polaroids I took last night at Volta with more info on the Lady Gaga/Polaroid collaboration. I love the Volta Family, such great, fun and genuine people...
