Happy Friday!  I love looking at magazine spreads, not only for the latest trends and fashions but for inspiration and poses.  Here’s an editorial spread from Harper’s Bazaar May ’09 Issue via Women Management.  Don’t you just love how bold these pieces are? 

I look forward to Mya Mondays, but the truth is…everyday is a Mya Monday.  I’m a mother, first and foremost so it was only a no-brainer for me to decide upon a family blog where I can post and post to my heart’s content without the worry of bombarding readers with all the mommy talk!  I’m excited about it and although it’s still in it’s baby stages, I plan on givin’ it a little bit of lovin’ with juicy updates, latest happenings and mommy must-haves!  Come share in my mommy diaries at www.littlemissmya.com!

I love the fashion world and how trends are always forecasted seasons and seasons in advance.  In this case, it’s Pre-Fall 2009 for Prada and it’s dee-li-cious! 

In other news, I have an exciting announcement to make but of course it wouldn’t be exciting if there wasn’t a wait!  I will be announcing it on the next edition of Mya Monday, so stay tuned!

…was relaxing!  We spent the weekend in Indio with family and friends and it was pure bliss!   I wanted to share my favorite image from the whole weekend, so here it is…my beautiful niece Jayden…

Sometimes I feel like a nut and sometimes I don’t and today, I’m feelin’ pretty darn nutty.  I admit, most days I find myself in a rut…lookin’ and feelin’ homely from head to toe.  Those are my lazy days, my I-don’t-give-a-rats-@ss kinda day where I sit at home in the pajamas that I woke up in to spend countless amount of hours watching reality tv shows, consuming tv dinners and catchin’ up on TiVo.  Embarrasingly enough, those days are frequent, but not today!  I feel good today, and tonight I feel like puttin’ on my favorite pumps and gettin’ my hair did for a night out in the city!

Whatever the occasion is, whether there is one or not, and even if I’m having my I-don’t-give-a-rats-@ss kinda day or not I’m always in the mood for some yummy eye candy and for me, it means style sightings on my favorite sites like Polyvore.  It’s kinda like window shopping without the window, and because shopping is my favorite pastime and because it’s Fashion Forward Friday, I thought I would share with you what I bought with my imaginary money when I went window shopping today…

I’m off to go see Taylor Hicks in the performance of Grease, but before I do that I wanted to wish all of you mother’s  a relaxing, enjoyable and most of all…a  fulfilling Mother’s Day because it’s well deserved!  I remember vividly my thoughts on having children when I was young and a bit naive.  I was 17, and I decided that it wasn’t for me and stood firm on never having kids and I was sure about it.  So sure,  my mind was set and that was it. 

It’s funny how things change, how we change and how our minds change.  I was 25 and 5 years into a relationship when things took a turn.  I felt my biological clock ticking and had a distinct instinct.  The maternal kind, that wouldn’t go away.  It felt natural and I was ready mentally and emotionally.  I wanted it and I wanted to finally bear a child and be a mother…the best mother.  My mind was set and that was it.

5 years and a daughter later, there’s a package with “Happy Mother’s Day” written all over it in crayon.  The Crayola kind, and it wasn’t  for anyone else but me.  As excited as Mya was to see me open it,  I was even more excited.  I began to open the package and before I could catch a glimpse of what it was, Mya yelled “It’s a crown!  It’s a crown!”  Comical.  It was actually a tulle hairpiece and the perfect accessory for Mother’s Day.  Well…at least that’s what Mya thought because she insisted that I wear it all day today so I can have it on when she makes me a Mother’s Day party.  Her mind was set and that was it.

 What did your lil’ one(s) bring home for you this Mother’s Day?
