Words on a Wednesday

I have been pretty much non existence to the rest of the world for the past week, due to being horribly ill. And because I had so much time on my hands just sitting in bed and resting, in hopes of becoming better. I was able to enjoy all the little things, like finally finishing The Andy Cohen Diaries which I LOVED!!!

 

#obsessed 

 I got the book as a Christmas gift and I have to say it was one of the best gifts that I got. It made me excited to read again. I used to really enjoy reading when I was younger, in fact my dad and I used to go to the book store every weekend to pick up a new book for me. There are however so many excuses as to why we no longer get to enjoy the simple pleasures in our lives, like work, school, and any other thing that could possibly take time away from you.

Reading a book however I find fills that time with some real relaxation. It is a time when there is nothing else going on to distract you and you are in a world of your own that has been created by the words on the page.

I also assume at this point that you think that this book was some life changing novel that has made me put a new perspective on things but sadly you would be wrong, but also right I guess.

I LOVE ANDY COHEN. If Wendy Williams is my queen then the is my King. This book was perfect because it took me into another world and by that I mean the fabulous life he was living hob nobbing it with more famous people than you can even imagine to begin counting. The year that he chronicles is so funny and fabulous and just like the blurb that Sarah Jessica Parker writes on the back of the book in which she says the book leaves her wondering is Andy Cohen actually Carrie Bradshaw? I 100% agree with her. This was a roller coaster of a ride from him falling in love with his dog, to spending the most fabulous summer in Southampton. *Side note I NEED to go to Southampton ASAP* I felt reading this book that not only was I there with him living the luxe life but it felt like I was watching the reality TV that I love so much, of which he is the master mind behind.

I was addicted to Netflix but as soon as I picked up this book I literally started thinking when am I going to get home and be able to find out what Andy is up to now?

I would highly recommend this book if you are a Bravo addict like me and love Andy Cohen or if you just want a book that will take your mind off things and bring you to a funnier place.

 Hi, my name is Riya and I am a book abuser.

I literally ripped the cover off it, I need to love my books and there is no room for a flimsy cover!

Also those random colors on the book are smudges you know they happen. #life

What books are you loving right now?

Fabulous Fashion Friday!

Happy Weekend!

The cold is totally kicking my butt right now and I am currently fighting a cold :( which stinks. All of this sad January weather however is making me so excited for the spring and all the spring fashions that are coming out. I remember last year when there were so many cute pieces that I wanted but could not justify buying them and waiting for months to wear them. Then when the time came for cute spring clothes I was a hot mess express. This year I am all about it though. I have already scoped out a few things that I can not wait to put in my closet.

Fabulous Fashion Friday by riyapartyofone featuring a leather tote bag

This shirt is the perfect transition from spring to summer and it will be perfect for pairing with jeans or white shorts. (Confession: I am so obsessed with the shirt I went out while writing this post and bought it already :x)


I have been wanting this Jacks since last summer and I am finally ready to make the plunge. This color combination is perfect for me because navy and white is a constant color staple in my wardrobe, especially in the warmer weather.



 I am IN LOVE with this bag. I think that's all I have to say. If I only get one thing for my birthday which is in 56 days (hint hint) I hope this is it. 





What spring fashions are you lusting over? Are you so ready for spring?

Happy Weekend!

Classic: The Written Word

I love a good hand written note. I make it a point to send Thank You cards to people as I have posted about before. Now however I am making a point to really show appreciation to all the people in my life by sending them cards weather they be holiday cards, or just a nice thinking of you note.

There is just something so refreshing about receiving something nice in the mail for a change and I actually enjoy addressing and  stamping the envelops and it also helps me make sure that my address book is up to date. This way I will be able to make sure that I am able to keep in contact with my favorite people no matter what.

I have also recently decided that I was going to start writing in a journal, just as a private keepsake for myself. I have never been someone who is able to keep consistent with these kinds of commitments but it is a new year and that means that it is time for new challenges and experiences. There is also something so nice about looking back and reflecting on things that have happened or maybe I will wait until the end of 2015 to read through the whole thing and see how my life has changed.

What new things are you trying this year?

Happy Monday!

Fabulous Festive Friday!

What an exciting holiday season this has been and it has really taught me how into the end of the year festivities I actually am! Christmas is my new favorite holiday! There are so many facets to it in my opinion and I am absolutely obsessed! I love the music and the decorations all the gift wrap, gift bags and not the mention the gifts! I love giving and getting them!

It all starts with the tree; which I had the pleasure of decorating 2 trees this year! Which I loved! 

This is how the Sidhu's do Christmas 

This is how BB does Christmas 

You can not fully get into the Christmas spirit in my opinion without Christmas music and all December long I am all about it! I received the Michael Bublé Christmas album as a present and I had it on repeat. #perfection. One of my favorite Christmas songs that I feel I did not get to hear enough of was Dominc the Donkey but here is it on YouTube so please enjoy on my behalf.

Lastly on top of getting to enjoy this wonderful holiday with my friends and family I received some wonderful gifts, and I hope they feel the same way about the gifts I gave them! 

I hope your Christmas season was as fabulous as mine! 

Happy New Year!

Happy Weekend!
