Blog Girl Looking for a Blog Makeover…
As I look at all my blog friends blogs, all decked out with these great designs, order etc… I am getting the blog design fever. Unfortunately, I can't even learn how to hyperlink a link.. I know, I am so sad. Ugh. So, the thought of me actually designing my own blog… is crazy and overwhelming to me all at the same time. So, this is where you all will hopefully be able to help me or send me to the right person. Did you design your own blogs? Did you h ire someone? What are the going rates? Ha-ha.
I am trying to make this blog design more me. Any ideas, advice or insight is always welcome :)
Now onto another blogger award..A Huge Thank You to my sweet blogger friend- Pink Lemonade! She gave me the coolest blog award.
Have a wonderful Thursday ladies! Stay tuned for Fashion Friday!

4.5 miles down more to go.
I have been doing 4.5 miles of walking a day. Yep, 4.5 miles of just walking. Why? Looking to get healthier, I mean granted I am a size 6, but I just want to feel better about myself and health. I am also, trying to encourage my dad to get back on track to losing weight. He usually does in the spring and summer time, but I guess I am jumpstarting this daily night walks sooner this year. I enjoy our father and daughter time, plus, we like to look at his neighbors lawns, see what they are all up to etc… Yep, that’s how we roll in the Paulo household. We love to learn about lawn care LOL.
So, my back, shoulders and calves have been killing me all weekend. Ugh.. But no pain no gain right? Oh and did not know this, but I haven't eaten any meat in 4 days and I have no idea why. Just not tempting to eat it anymore. I have been craving veggies and fruit. I guess, it is definitely summer time for me. And just wanted to share that 5 miles = 10,000 steps. Who knew? I was doing the recommend daily step amount for weight loss.
So, wish me good luck on getting my Daddy up and walking more this week. We are up for a walk today after work… let's hope it doesn’t rain here.
I also, wanted to take this opportunity to thank my fellow blogger friends for your sweet, supporting and caring comments about what I have been going through with the loss of a friendship. Your comments mean more to me than you all would ever know!
Thank you again and I am truly blessed to have you all not only as readers, but friends.
Happy Monday Loves!

Rough Day...
So, I am lying here in bed at 7:00pm on a Tuesday night with a glass of wine. Yep, it was that kind of day. It was rough, emotional and just not myself. More like out of sorts.
If you look back at my previous posts, I had a hard friendship end recently. And I know that what occured and what caused it has nothing to do with me, just taken out on me. But It doesn't mean I don't hurt? I guess I have been mourning in a sense. Which seems crazy to some, but I have been.
It is hard when you get messages from said person bashing you,your friends, family etc... And in your heart you take it personally. I am a person who stands up for her family and friends. Especially when they are being attacked like that. However, you start to think that maybe what is said by said person is right... I know Crazy. But it affects you. Seriously, its insane how much words can affect a person when they are down and out for a sec. I mean, ask anyone who knows me... even some blogger readers know me on a personal level. I am the kind of person who is full of confidence, never was in a clique persay, just always knew who I was, what I stood for etc... I was popular in school and everyone liked me. But lately my confidence and self-esteem has been tested by the words of said person. It's hard. I second guess my relationships, friendships. Heck today, I thought my best guy friend/mentor didn't like hanging out with me because of said person's arguement that he was being nice to me just to be nice. Can you say I have lost it?! ha -ha. I mean where in the heck am I? Twilight zone?!
I have to re group. This is so not me.. its not the Silvia that I know or anyone else knows. I am always in control and I am letting these faulse words affect me? Why?
Hoping to better days ...

I guess it's better to be late than never right? :)
Cameron Diaz
Worst Dressed- okay, so hmmm… don’t shoot me and I think I know some of you may disagree… but for me, it was SJP.
I cannot believe I just said/typed that, but it's true GC was just not top notch this year. I mean, please get a haircut and look more polished next year. I think the new girlfriend- Elisabetta may have disheveled him to this non polished look. This saddens me to no end.
And, just a little observation, but did you all notice that Miley Cyrus has the worst posture. I felt myself wanting to be a mom and say- “Please put your shoulders back and stand up straight. Thank you :) ”
Okay, so I want to know what my readers/friends think. Do you agree/disagree? Do you want to throw some stones at me or suggest I need to re evaluate my sense of style ? Ha-ha. I love hearing from You! So, come on, good or bad… lay it on me dolls ! :)
Side note: I just wanted to say Thank You! To all my blogger friends that I have made via my blog and through theirs (see right side for the great list). You girls comment on my posts and I am overwhelmed by your sweetness. It truly makes me smile and encourages me to blog more. So, thank you and sending you all a great Big Hug! Xoxo! :)
So here goes… when I think of the Oscars, I don't think of who will win best movie, or supporting actress blah, blah ... And blah. I don't watch to see the awards, I watch because I care, and what do I care about? ….. Fashion!!! And who's dating who. Ha-ha. I admit it. I think all my blogger girls would agree :)
Let's get to it-- Best Dressed:
Jennifer Lopez & Demi Moore
Cameron Diaz
Sandra Bullock
Worst Dressed- okay, so hmmm… don’t shoot me and I think I know some of you may disagree… but for me, it was SJP.
Ugh… I know, and believe me, I know. She even worn a Coco Channel design, but it was just horrible and the huge hair bun took it over the top for me.
Okay, to the men: Love Colin Firth, Chris Pine ( Julie @ Browneyedbelle would agree- there are no words ;) ). 
Worst: George Clooney ...
