Sippin Saturdays ~ Hustle Today To Relax Tomorrow

Kimmie Smith — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:06:58 EDT

Oh boy today was a long day! Today will be the beginning of various photoshoots that I will be working on to update some images and to get prepped for amazing things that are going on around the site! Crystal and I of Tasty Morsels Bakery will be running around one of my favorite places, the Roger Smith Hotel to make it happen. So instead of sleeping in this morning, I was out there making things happen! It was great to run into Brian and Niki and loved that we had quite the team working with us our fab photographer Manny and our stylist David! When the pictures are ready, I will make sure that you guys see it!

Of course all this running around tells me that I need to head to my fave nail salon Dashing Diva to get a full on manicure pedicure and then over to Townhouse Spa for a nice little massage. I love Dashing Diva as it is the all around girlie place! I tend to go on Thurs or Fri night because you can sip a nice cocktail while you have your sessions but I love this package. With so many locations, you're bound to find your favorite spot. Although I have never been to Townhouse, I'm super excited as I received a gift certificate so I'll let you know how this goes as well. Sometimes the weekend may not be entirely relaxing but that's why you get two days!

Kitten Lounge Wrap Up!!

Kimmie Smith — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:21:10 EDT

Last week was pretty crazy and my weekend was pretty hectic as well! So with that being said, the round up for last week, starts now and of course there are some peeks into what you can expect for this week and this month as well! Last week, we kicked off the end of Sept with a double dose of tasty treats. Our Food Editor, Paul, took us to il Buco’s annual Pig Fest and let us know a little about the inspiration of Edgar Allen Poe’s book! We also had an amazing series of recipes from Food Network’s Halloween. With the holiday season around the way, we had to get everyone dazzled and we introduced someone that we love – Objets d’Envy which is full of fun and Swarovski Crystals! We had 2 giveaways and the winners of Model Co will receive an email later on today and if you missed the Ellie Handbag Collection . In the world of music, Paper Doll performed this weekend – amazing and we posted about IreneB who I can’t wait to see her live and she totally showed her love for Kitten Lounge by giving us a snippet and a shout out to boot!

This leads to this weekend which was full of shows and interviews that will come out this week and over the next few weeks. I interviewed AW Gryphon, author of Blood Moon! With the appropriately themed Halloween book, you will see various posts throughout this month about her and book related topics! In addition, I went to Beam Laser Spa this weekend and let me say I loved it and will let you in on what happened and as there are various sessions, you will hear more about it. I have to say, the idea of never shaving is so exciting! With so many goodies out there it is hard to keep some things a secret but it will be very exciting to share once I can! This month, Kitten Lounge will hit the road heading out to Atlantic City and Philly! I am excited and we are currently working on another HUGE project that will be unveiled early next year although there will be hints throughout the site. As a side note, I am now linked to various members that are playing Gemni Division while watching it and I love it!!

Finally, to spread some love, Haydan Harnett, someone who you will see on this site later in the week, is having an amazing sale that ends on 10.07.08! Purchase an item over $300 and receive 20% off using the code fallingfast. This helps you get an amazing bag and helps the economy in general as well - very beneficial and fashionable.

Wearable Wednesdays: Lavish Yourself

Kimmie Smith — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:00:00 EDT

Happy Harvest everyone! There are three months left of the year and this is definitely a great time. Kitten Lounge is officially a year old today and it has been an amazing time with all the coverage and we have so many goodies which we will let you guys know more about. But on to a very serious issue! As summer ended, I came face to face with a hard reality - I didn't have a fall bag! Even more gasp worthy is that I switched back to last fall's bag until I found the right one. Being someone that loves my handbags and is an accessory queen, this move was met with mixed emotion - I definitely want to sport a new find but I am pleased that I have an eye for things that are timeless. So when I found out about Ellie Handbags and her fall/winter collection, I started wishing that I could get one of these bags in an instant.

Ellie Schwimmer Carotti (yes that would be David Schwimmer's sister) is a trendsetter, so much so that her line brings the trends of Italy to her customers here in the states before they are even big here! Who wouldn't want to carry something that will get multiple stares not only because it's fabulous but ahead of its time as well. Ellie Handbags have various skins such as deer, snakeskin and supple leather. Now it's essential with the holiday season right around the corner, that we have all of our accessories in line. Now more than ever it's important that we add a lot of pop into our lives. Ellie knows how to make a fabulous black bag but with the use purple and red which are dominant colors for this season - she knows how to take a classic body and to make it something absoluely drool worthy! Stay ahead of the trends and look at our gallery of our favorite finds from this collection. If you love what you see here, there are plenty more items that you can look at as well that will fit your style well!

Snazzy Sundays ~ The Laptop Desk

Kimmie Smith — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 12:51:40 EST

So I am looking for a little feedback here. The whole reason why I have a laptop is for the ease of use no matter where I am. I love that I can sit in my kitchen, move to the couch and just take it out of my apartment when I am feeling a little cagey so to speak. My mom will come over and complain that I should have a little table or stand for it; however, I feel that it is cozy when it is in my lap! But it did get me to thinking and although they have beautiful cabinets where your laptop can sit, when you have the fabulously sized apartments in the city, who needs extra space taken up with those. At the same time, the little laptop mats seem more annoying and not so secure.

So I let my fingers do the walking and went to Ikea.com (you have to love that this is a space saver AND not going to break the budget) and found this cute little thing - a laptop table known as the DAVID. Now when I am just browsing I may not use this; however, there are many times where I have papers and books that need to be in my lap and having my laptop on something like this wouldn't be such a bad idea! Thoughts and ideas? I love the fact that that the height is adjustable and for all those that have a studio and a home office - you can now use this during those work hours and feel like you have a designated space for work!
