Ooops, J Simps forgot her pants.
Am I Wearing Pants?
Little Darling
The cutest puppy in the world (aside from mine). Who doesn’t love a frenchie.?
Margarita Madness
Supposedly this is the best margarita ever…I think I’ll try it tonight.
A Classic Shaken Margarita
Recipe courtesy of ReadyMade
2 oz. 100% agave silver (blanco) – Recommended: El Tesoro, Sauza Hornitos, or El Milagro (which brings an amazing vanilla-ness to the party)
1 ounce Cointreau – you can use Gran Marnier if you happen to have some, but stear clear of Triple Sec
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/4 – 1/2 oz. agave nectar (optional)
Kosher salt
1. Begin by squeezing the lime juice with a juicer or citrus reamer. Use the spent lime half to rim a 4-5 oz. martini glass or a rocks glass, and dip into the salt. (If you like them less salty, only rim half of the glass.) Place in the freezer or fill with ice cubes and water to chill.
2. Pour the lime juice into a shaker, and add the orange liqueur and tequila, and the agave nectar (if that’s what you’re using). Fill the shaker with ice, and shake until your hands get cold, then shake some more. It’s essential that it’s very well mixed and diluted just so with the melted ice, and that comes from shaking. Don’t skimp here; you’re hard work will be rewarded.
3. Retrieve your glass, and fill with ice if using a rocks glass. Strain your shaken cocktail into the glass, and enjoy!
I Wore Suspenders
What I’m wearing: glasses – Ultra Studios, suspenders – Claire’s, long sleeved white tee – Forever 21, high waist black pants – New York & Co, blazer – vintage, heels – Forever 21, flower – Forever 21
Sorry I’m not sorry for my GPOY. But I thought you guys should know that they sell suspenders at Claire’s in your local mall and they are worth every penny of the $8.00 I spend on them. They are total outfit-transformers. You could literally wear an outfit one day and wear the exact same thing the next day (add suspenders) and no one would notice you hadn’t changed! No guarantee on that one.
Do you grow tired of my bathroom mirror photos at my corporate office? I hope not because they shall continue…
Lovesong
So I may be there last person to hear Adele’s 21 all the way through but better late than never. The song I found to be the most moving was actually her cover of The Cure’s Lovesong. Ahhh. She’s so talented.
I Wore A Turban…
What I wore: turban – vintage from Cheap Thrills, blazer – vintage, jeans – Banana Republic, heels – vintage
I mentioned here that I was a fan of turbans but had not yet tried one out. A few weeks later, I found a vintage one at my favorite shop in Fayetteville – Cheap Thrills. I must say, I got a few ‘complisults’ at work. People said things like, “only you would wear that”. Haha.
Who cares, that’s why I love fashion – the ability to experiment. I do realize I’m taking a risk by posting a photo of myself after brutally judging the attendees of the met ball. Oh well!
So now that you see me in a turban, would you wear one?
Met Ball Judgement
Ok. I wasn’t that impressed. In fact, I was severely disappointed. Step it up people! All the gold (Kate, Salma, Elizabeth Banks, Claire Danes, SJP, Veronica Mars, Bar Rafaeli, Jessica Alba, Gwyneth ) was boring. I felt like anything new or modern was a rarity. All the sequins invoked prom. Read on at your own risk…it gets pretty ugly. I’m not usually this mean to my favorite models & celebs! Go here for the full coverage.
STYLE WINNERS!
Style winner: Doutzen Kroes. Simple, fresh, flattering.
Style Winner: Diane Kruger – this is probably due to my personal positive bias
Style Winner: Ashley Olsen. Gorgeous. Different than anything I’ve seen her in.
Style Winner: Freaking Sandra Lee from “Semi-homade” showed up a bunch of folks. And what was she doing there?
Style Winner: Gisele, because what else would she do with that body?
Style Winner – Amy Adams, because I rarely like what she wears and I like this.
Style Winners: Angela Lindvall & Karlie Kloss – this is gold done well (on breathing mannequins)
Style Winner: Hilary Rhoda – classic, chic, short – white done right.
STYLE LOSERS!!!
Barbara Walters – you deserve to be spanked for this
Taylor Swift – your makeup looks fug and you’re supposed to be a Cover Girl. The only thing worse than the makeup is the dress/hair.
Emma Stone, you are so pretty girl! Remember what you wore to the golden globes? This atrocity made me forget.
Alexa Chung – I grow weary of you and your quirkiness
I literally made the exact same face as Serena when I saw this photo
Ashley Greene- I’ve seen that dress before but your hair looks nice.
GAAAAH Nicole Richie, the hair! the sleeve cut-outs! eeek
Lucy Liu – Career damaging
Sarah Burton, are you freaking kidding? I’m trying to conjur up some kind of saying like “if you can’t do, teach” but I don’t think it works in this situation.
Fergie – one of the ugliest dresses I’ve ever seen. It also looks like you have jaundice. You might want to have that checked out.
Eva Mendes – terrible.
Ginnifer Goodwin – nice try
Michelle – you rarely do wrong in my eyes. But this dress makes your arms look big. We all know your arms aren’t big.
Penelope – boring, boring, boring
Rashida Jones – ew
It’s hard to say “hanous” on the same line as Miranda Kerr but somehow it works in this sitch.
Demi Moore wore a fascinator! She’s gotta get props for that.
Is that feather pouf attached to ERW somehow? UPDATE: I’ve realized it’s not attached to ERW, but is attached to Florence Welch. ERW – you stay in style losers for standing close to Flo Welch (I still love your music Flo & the machine but let’s keep fashion and friendship separate, k?)
I literally almost threw up in my mouth when I saw this creation on Carolyn Murphy, who is typically so effortlessly lovely
Ri-Ri, I’m kindof over you looking naked but not really being naked, not to mention the red hair. Find a new schtick.
That’s all I got folks! How did you feel about the lack of fashion on this most fashionable night?
