What can you say? I know she’s not fat because her thighs aren’t touching but this has to be the most ill-fitting dress ever assembled. This goes to show you that celebrity does not guarantee you taste. This is seriously horrifying.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak at Rock the Runway representing Cover Girl (we donated the make-up for the event). It was really fun and I was honored to be included.
I had to include a shot with my sweetheart!
Paris, caged?
When I saw this, I immediately thought, “wow – they finally locked her up”. Such a good photo. Poor pony.

Enjoy your weekend, Darling.
With all the craziness, sadness and unpredictability of our society today, it is evermore important to hold on to what’s real and valuable in our lives.
I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.
I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.
My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?
Hazy Summer Day
I love this editorial and the breezy, summer feel. Backless dresses by the pool, floppy hats in the park, motobiking in vintage…that’s what I’d like my summer to look like as well.

Thrifting
I love shopping at thrift and vintage stores. There’s something so green and sustainable about reusing and making the old new again. I also enjoy the process of picking through the inventory and trying on (I realize not everyone does). Plus it’s a great way to experiment with trends without breaking the bank, since nearly everything that’s in now has been in before. One of my favorite things about shopping at a thrift shop, versus a vintage shop, is that they often don’t know the brands that have been donated. They just line-price everything, denim is denim etc. That’s where we benefit. For example, I got a vintage Oscar de la Renta blouse last night at Potter’s house thrift store for $2.92. I think one of the problems we have when shopping is we can’t visualize how an article of clothing will transform once we have it on, so we pass it by. You have to have an open mind and a little bit of time to find the diamonds in the rough, if you will. Sometimes I will try on 30 things to only find 3 that work. But when it works and it’s cheap, it’s so worth the extra time.
I also love this editorial set in a chic vintage shop. Enjoy!

Miss Piggy
For full disclosure, I must admit that I’ve never, ever, ever been a fan of Ms. Aguilera. I don’t like her voice (although I will admit she is talented), I don’t like her style, I don’t like her attitude, I don’t like her flimsy blonde hair. I’ve said before that she reminds me of a blonde Snooki but I really think the most apt comparison is to the lovable Muppets’ character: Miss Piggy. Do you agree? Too harsh?
