#musicmonday : Banana Pancakes : Jack Johnson

i wish this kind of day for you..  :)

"..makin banana pancakes.. pretend like its the weekend now..."

& now..  a peek at a little happiness........ :)     ..my favorite song of all time!..

"Can't you see that it's just raining
Ain't no need to go outside...
But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
Ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, laka ukulele
Mommy made a baby
Really don't mind the breakfast
'cause you're my little lady
Lady lady love me
'cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
Ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need ain't no need Mmmm MMmmm
Can't you see can't you see
Rain all day
And I don't mind.

The telephone is singing
Ringing it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to we got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
Ain't no need to go outside
Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
Can't you see can't you see,
You gotta wake up slow"

Jack Johnson

The Royal Wedding Special Features : the dress

this dress, created by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, took my breath away.  every aspect was perfect. the lace.. the "bustle," the train, the neckline.. every aspect worked so well together.  ..it could not have been more perfect.  When interviewed by NewYorkMagazine, Sarah Burton had this to say,  "Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day."   well sarah.. it worked! :)

The Royal Wedding Special Features : the hat

lets begin at the very beginning.. a very good place to start!.. the guests & their hats!  
London Designer Philip Treacy is the top Hat Designer in the world.. & his works of art took center stage as the guests began to arrive.  
These are just a few of my favorites.. there are so many more, i will have to share them on another day!.. so stay tuned!! 
dont forget to check out the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection!
