#WCW

I never, ever indulge in these types of social media frivolities but today I am making an exception. Please pay no mind to my occasional Throwback Thursday Instagram posts. I must think they're pretty cool if I am putting them on display for all the world to see. Who wouldn't want to see my soccer picture from age 5? I was so adorable. 

Now where was I? Ahh yes, my #WCW. I never had one before AKA I never hashtagged "#WCW" on a picture but here I am professing before you all the ever-so-popular "girl crush." I did some research (if that's even possible) on #WCW and went to my best source - not you, Wikipedia - Urban Dictionary! 

Please be my BFF, Fergie?

I guess you could say I have always been pretty fond of Fergie. Once upon a time, my best friend Annmarie and I took jobs as VIP cater waiters just because we heard we would get the chance to wait on Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas. We did get to meet them and they were the coolest people on earth. Fergie is so much shorter and tinier in person! This was when their song "I Got a Feeling" just came out and was huge. It was one of the most energetic performances I had ever seen. I couldn't stop dancing. Former Cater Waiter Boss - if you're reading this: was my Taylor Swift-esque dancing the reason I was never hired for another catering gig again?

Alright, rewind to September 13, 2006 AKA 8 years ago this week! Fergie's album The Dutchess was released!! If it wasn't for that album, The Flossy would be nonexistent! Come to think of it, I should probably start building a Fergie shrine or something in my closet Helga Pataki-style. In my eyes, Fergie did no wrong. She was a little hood but still feminine - am I allowed to use those two words in the same sentence? It's a toss up for my favorite Fergie song between Glamorous (duh) and Big Girls Don't Cry (wasn't that everyone's favorite?). Rumors are swirling that she is planning a follow up album. If she uses the word "flossy" somewhere in it, I'm game. 

So, cheers to The Dutchess, to Fergie, the next eight years and, to the flossy flossy. 

Until next time...

Currently Crushing | 09.12.14

Unless you were at NYFW, unlike me, this week has been dragging like no other. So to end this week on a high note, I am introducing a new series to The Flossy I like to call "Currently Crushing." 

You can think of Currently Crushing as your casual Friday here at The Flossy. Why not take it easy and wind down from the madness? You can use this post as a chance relax for a few and check out a some things I am currently craving. On Fridays, I'll share with you my favorite links, photos, baubles, and finds for the week. I am excited to kick off the very first Currently Crushing post. 

1. I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from SBUX this week since they've been back. It didn't taste as good as I remember. *WHAT* No worries, I'll give 'em another chance.

2. Everyone uses New Year's to try and make resolutions or life changes. I like to use the end of the summer. More on this next week but have you seen the Tory Burch x FitBit pieces? I want!

3. Check out this typography art by MotivationalType. They have the dopest prints. Also, super inspirational and they don't break the bank. SHOP HERE

4. On my recent kick to eat a little lighter, I made this extremely easy recipe I found on Pinterest. You must try! Its delish!

5. How glamorous does the Altuzarra for Target line look? I swoon over that black, fur jacket! I can't wait until 09.14.

Other than guys, what are you crushing on this week? Dying to hear. 
If you're not already, follow me on Instagram @theflossy_com and on Twitter @theflossycom.

Until next time...stay flossy!
