I've been a bad girl...

I have really slacked on the posting lately.

I am blaming it on this:

The 13 weddings I have been invited to in the year 2008. Nine have already happened.


The alcohol I have consumed at these weddings. If you need a wedding photographer, check out Darbi G.!


The three funerals/visitations I have attended in the last month.


The alcohol I have consumed as a result of this. I have found that I do not enjoy dirty martinis.


Plus, I have renewed my love of fitness and have been working out for at least 60 minutes a day, 5 days a week. For a while, the photo below said it all, but I am changing that:).


Luckily, one of the weddings we attended last weekend was in Jacksonville, Illinois, and the boy and I went on a fabulous 3-hour historic home walking tour and saw incredible houses like these. It was the best vacation weekend I have had in a long time.

I wore these shoes the entire walk, and they most definitely make your calves, hamstrings and glutes work harder than normal. You should try them out! You can buy them from Bath & Body Works or Victoria's Secret. They are super comfortable, but my legs are still a little sore from all the walking! The FitFlops are even kinda cute!

Trend: Hot or Not?

So, I got this in an e-mail from DailyCandy today. What do you think of these zipper leggings?

You can buy them for $99 here, or by clicking on the photo above.

I LOVE those sandals and would rather buy those than the leggings, but sadly, there was not a link to them. The leggings are too '80s for me, much like Kim Cattrall's fashion on the SATC movie. Big shoulder pads give me the heebie jeebies.

Ashton looks like a lumber jack, and not in a rustic, oh-i-want-to-ravage-you-in-the-woods way...

I have never understood this match-up.

Gossip-y Girl

Well, what did you all think of the finale for Gossip Girl? I liked the episode before it better. I thought the finale was a bit anticlimatic... BUT I still loved it!

As for the dresses, I thought that the bride was beautiful...

S looked a bit insane in her Ralph Lauren multi-tiered yellow chiffon dress and gloves. I liked it at first, but the more I watched her in it, the more I didn't like it.

B was beautiful and flowery in her Collette Dinnigan dress. What do you think of Vanessa?

Georgina looked scary, much like her personality. I kinda hate her.

B also looked fabulous before boarding a plane with someone other than Chuck Bass - this mystery boy was most definitely a hottie.

Chuck's dad's fatherly speech did the opposite - Chuck fled and proceeded to focus on some other chick (Lydia Hearst- check out her rocking Sigerson Morrison gladiators!) so he could continue to be a bad a$$ (and an a$$hole). His little wedding toast was just too good to be true.

So, S & Nate are headed to the Hamptons, and Dan & Vanessa have all kinds sexual tension again... To me, that's a bit too predictable for it to stay that way, and I don't really like it. What do you think?

OMFG - Gossip Girl

After finally getting to watch Gossip Girl after missing a couple of episodes, I was so happy to have the chance to watch it this week. It did not disappoint. The episode rocked, and Blake Lively and Leighton Meester's outfits below rock, too. I especially love Blake Lively's gold Dolce & Gabbana number. I love the show. I love the clothes. I am so excited for the season finale next week!

On another note, what did you think of their OMFG racy ad campaign?

Was it a bit too much or just perfect? They say their target audience is 18-34 year olds, but I know that high schoolers are watching it, too...

OMFG.

Celeb Style Candy

Cameron Diaz looking cute like always (I got this great photo from Jen at MahaloFashion.com)

I love the black dress, but Kim's dress makes her look large, SJP's hair thing is ridiculous, and Charlotte's red dress just isn't that spectacular.

Diane Kruger looking particularly wonderful.

Katherine McPhee in Jay Godfrey (cute shoes!)

Sharon Stone still turning heads. I can't decide if I like that necklace...

Sienna Miller taking advantage of a beautiful day in London with bf Rhys Ifans (whom I don't think is very cute).

1. Ashanti (stunning in black & white)

2. Camille Belle in Miu Miu (I really love this!)

1. Emmy Rossum in Carmen Marc Valvo (gorgeous in gold)

2. Eva Mendes (I could see myself wearing this dress)


1. Ginnifer Goodwin in Max Mara (Where is her gorgeous McSteamy?)

2. Molly Sims in Tory Burch (love the orange & white - she's a dreamsicle!)
