I'm so excited to share with you all my new car: an Infiniti G37 S!
This car has been my dream car for many years and I never thought I would be able to make it a reality. I'm still in shock and just so freakin' happy!
I have been car hunting since last summer, casually, on-and-off, but more seriously since November. I'm a big car girl and wanted to get a car I really, really loved this time. I bought my old car nine and a half years ago, and while I looked after it and babied it for many years, it was not my ideal car (but of course it wasn't, I bought it when I was 19).
When I started my car shopping, I was looking for a new Honda Civic SI. Brand new, as it would offer me a warranty for many years, and a Civic because it was within my budget and I would feel pretty good driving and having that. Of course, it was not the car I really wanted. The car I really wanted was a G37 but I didn't think I would ever find one with the features I wanted and in my budget.
Long story short, I found this car at the beginning of January after pulling out 30 minutes before 'signing on the dotted line' for a new 2012 Civic SI. I started to pursue this car, but still was unsure if it was financially feasible or the right decision (being a luxury car, ie. higher repair bills; and a used car). I went back and forth and did a ton of research. I priced out wheels, a brake job, read forums and reviews about the car. Hours upon hours of research to really educate myself to make an informed decision (despite loving the car in general).
Finally, this past week I took possession of the car and could not be flying higher! It's a real dream come true to be driving this vehicle and I feel so lucky!
Here are some specs on the car:
2009 Infiniti G37 S
* Pearlescent white on black leather interior.
* 27k kms (practically brand new & never winter driven... until now).
* 6-Speed manual transmission.
* Rear-wheel drive (not ideal for winters here, but this car does not come in all-wheel drive with a manual transmission, which was not an option; I love driving standard).
* 6 CD disc player.
* Moonroof.
* Bluetooth.
* 19" stock alloy rims (the rims on the car currently are the new winter tires and alloy rims I ordered from TireRack.com; love the black rims and couldn't go with regular steel wheels as they wouldn't fit over the brakes).

The day I picked up car: Thursday, February 21, 2012. So happy!

I found this beautiful sheer and opaque striped maxi dress on the weekend (at Sirens) and like all maxis, it was too short for me. I couldn't pass up the eye-catching fabric though and decided to purchase it for $19 and re-fashion it into a maxi skirt.
It turned out beautifully and I can't wait to wear this on vacation and come summer!
More steps after the jump if you're interested in how I did this...
* Old Navy blouse (purchased in November; available in maternity HERE) with Smart Set cami underneath.
* H&M skinny denim which you've seen with OTK boots (when I first purchased them two years ago), with a dolphin top (a favourite post!) and also with . On a side note, these are one of my fanciest denim, and I love 'em but they barely have any stretch which makes them pretty uncomfortable.
* Aldo suede wedges which you've seen with
*Accessories: J.Crew bubble necklace.
Today is the day, you guys! Today is the day I'm (supposed) to be buying my car (eep!). I'm so excited and provided everything pans out, I will be driving her tomorrow; so so soo excited! I'll keep you posted!
Okay, this is a little bit of a weird one this week, but I heard this discussed on the radio and was shocked at what I heard.
The morning show I listen to, has two men and two women. The men were all for shower peeing, claming it saves time, is sterile, and isn't a big deal. The two women were totally grossed out and did not agree.
I spoke to a few of my friends before posting this, wondering if I should go there, and most of the girls I asked said they did, but one said, 'I bet 60% of women do but half won't admit it'.
I personally don't think there is anything wrong with it, and totally 'go there'. I mean, why waste time (and toilet paper) if you don't have to? (Haha)
Are you brave enough to Chat about this?
Hi you guys! OMG, between craziness at work and getting down to the wire with purchasing a car, this week has been nutty; and it's only Tuesday!
So, as you know, I sold my car and fortunately, one of my good friends has lent me her (super sick) ride for the week while she frolicks in Mexico.
I'm finalizing the details of my new car this week and if all goes well, I should have it (and some pictures) to share with you all come the weekend! Wish me luck!
