America's Next Top Fashion

America's Next Top Fashion no more...

2008-10-23T14:28:00.008-05:00

Hello all! I have been totally neglecting my blog mostly because I am busy, but also because I log into this blog through one of my older e-mails which makes it difficult since I now have a Google account.

SO, I am switching blogs and changing my focus slightly. Everything may not be about fashion, or it could be. I am just going to post about whatever fits my fancy. Then maybe I will post more!

Please change your blog rolls if you have my old address! Thanks! I look forward to posting:).

Posh goes heel-less

2008-09-29T10:46:00.002-05:00

Your thoughts? I think they look hot - for maybe 5 seconds. I can't imagine walking on those without a heel for stability, or paying 3,300 pounds for them.

Hilary, why did you cut your hair and make it blond? If you were going to cut it, at least make it cute and dark like your winning Oscars look.
Maybe you cut it off for wigs for women who are battling cancer (very sweet), or maybe you cut it for a new role in an upcoming film (understandable), but please take a look at you in all of your long-haired glory below and rethink your decision!

I've been a bad girl...

2008-07-01T09:05:00.010-05:00

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?

2008-06-10T08:41:00.005-05:00

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.

I have never understood this match-up.

Gossip-y Girl

2008-05-21T14:21:00.007-05:00

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

2008-05-15T13:12:00.004-05:00

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.

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).

Product Review: Sebastian Iron Works

2008-04-30T12:30:00.006-05:00

I have talked about my attraction to hair products before, but I have found an even better alternative to use to protect your tresses when using the flat iron for smooth, sultry locks. Introducing my latest obsession: Sebastian Shapers IronWorks Hot Tools Protecting Spray.

Pros: Protects your hair, unscented, smaller size, keeps hair healthy, discontinued (can buy it at CHEAP prices online)

Cons: Discontinued (could become hard to find), no pretty scent

GG Grade: A

Oh, look another young Hollywood star engaged and pregnant.

I love that Hollywood wholesomeness...

On a lighter note, that ring rocks.

On a darker note, if Pete Wentz were my fiance, Ms. Simpson, I would not want to look exactly like him as you do in this picture...

CMT Awards Fashion

2008-04-15T15:56:00.009-05:00

Country music awards shows have quite the array of fashion, and it is quite different from your traditional awards show. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus did quite well with their fun, flirty frocks.

Jewel Tones: Sara Evans (with new hottie fiance Jay Barker), Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland) - LOVE her dress! and Carrie Underwood in a fabulous shade of purple.

Shades of grey: Julianne Hough, LeAnn Rimes and Diana DeGarmo all gorgeous in grey.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are so cute! Her dress is so elegant against her porcelain skin. Wish I could look that good when I don't have a tan.

I love the group Little Big Town, and they look so good together.

I like this dress worn by Miley Cyrus while performing, but I think it is a bit boobalicious for her tender age...

Hottie Chuck Wicks is dressed well for a boy at the event.

Jewel with her bull rider boyfriend Ty Murray.

LOVE Miranda Lambert and cute dress!

I don't like Dierks Bentley's casual look or Faith Hill's Grease look.

I think Taylor Swift (pictured with Snoop Dogg) is scared after seeing them...

Carried Underwood singing All American Girl in a girly outfit with adorable shoes.

I just love these fun outfits for LeeAnn Rimes' performance!

2008-04-14T13:19:00.007-05:00

Sarah Michelle Gellar in a bright, fun mini.

Sienna Miller can even make boots and a dress look good.

Darling in a black L.A.M.B. dress - Reese Witherspoon

Thandie Newton - in classic black with a twist, and a fantastic magenta frock.

I love those killer shoes on Lucy Liu and a sassy LBD.

Michelle Trachtenberg in a great and unusual outfit.

Nicole Richie in a signature maxi dress.

Kates' fashions: Kate Bosworth's dress is a lot of fun!

Kate Hudson is stunning in this dress.

Polka dots and ruffles make me happy on LC.

Leighton Meester in simple yellow and dazzling green. The girl knows how to work her colors.

Sometimes, I want to be Cameron Diaz, especially if I could have this outfit.

Ginnifer Goodwin in a fabulous Prada dress.

I know I couldn't, but Emmy Prossum makes this nude ensemble look good.

I think that color looks great on Debra Messing.

This is my favorite dress of the day - love the color and the hair on Gwyneth Paltrow.

I just put this on here because Posh looks so insanely skinny. I think she has great fashion taste, but she does annoy me with her anoerexic look...

Rain, rain, go away...

2008-04-10T09:15:00.007-05:00

It is pouring here in Missouri today. P-O-U-R-I-N-G. And they are calling for horrid storms tonight. I actually love listening to storms and watching the lightning - when I am safe in shelter and do not have to worry about tornadoes and hail. BUT I hate tornadoes. HATE them. So I hope they stay away. As a child, I used to be so scared of them I would actually cry after the weatherman told me there was just a tornado watch, not even a warning, just a watch. Yes, I was a bit dramatic, even back then.

So, pray for me that they do not come and visit my great state. I have been through two of them, but they were nothing too intense, and I have no desire to make like Twister and chase them around.

Anyway, back to rainy day fashion. I am working on a college campus right now, and it's been raining a lot lately. Everyday, as I walk from the parking garage to my office, I pass lots of college students. Things have not changed much since I did the college thing - most people wear pj's and sweats to class because they can hop out of bed at 7:50 and run to class before it starts at 8 a.m. One thing has changed. EVERY girl is now wearing little wellies or rain boots in a rainbow of colors and patterns with their sweats tucked into them. (Sadly, I couldn't find a picture of that, but use your imagination.)

Now, rain boots have gotten super cute, so I would have embraced that completely as a student, but with sweats? The combo is not really that flattering. I guess it's cute in a college-student kind of way, but not all that fashionable. Your thoughts?

Oh, those college days. I certainly do sometimes miss them.

Check out these sweet boots - they are leather but rain-ready. I would love a pair of these, but they are $325...

Here's another great pair that are a bit more stylish than the rest! At $116, I just might consider it.

I want...

2008-04-09T10:28:00.005-05:00

If you don't remember, I am somewhat obsessed with swimwear. Today, I am wanting to be on a beach somewhere so I don't have to think about the BIG decision I need to make by the end of business today. I would wear this sassy suit by Trina Turk with these kick-a$$ hot pink shoes and forget about the fact that I have to be a big girl and think about what I want to do with my life... Le sigh.

These sets of heels & suits are the runners-up.

Who wants to escape for some sun & cocktails with me?! xoxo, gg

Nicole Richie is wearing one of my favorite go-to outfits - white T & broken-in jeans.
Post-baby, she still looks fabulous.

I love Sienna Miller's belt and bag.

That purple color is fantastic on Kelly Ripa, and the neckline is so fun.

I am not a fan of Renee Zellweger's hair, but that dress is beautiful.

I really like Ellen Page's look. She often gets it right.

Hopefully, she can steer away from growing up too quickly like many young Hollywood stars.

Ginnifer Goodwin is heavenly in this ivory frock.

I don't know if I have ever seen Ashley Olsen this classy, or healthy.

Carrie Underwood always looks good. She reminds me of Barbie, but this one almost seems a bit matronly.

I am digging Brittany Murphy's super cute, simple dress. I loved her in the movie Uptown Girls.

That electric blue skirt is perfect for Amanda Bynes. I can see why - it is from her line Dear by Amanda Bynes.

Christina Ricci is good at old Hollywood glamour.

This dress of Gwyneth Paltrow's is so chic!

I love K. Heigl, but what the heck happened here. Maybe InStyle liked it, but I think it's too outrageous. Your thoughts?

On another note, I want Grey's Anatomy back!

It's been a long time...

2008-04-08T12:04:00.003-05:00

My life has been crazy, but I am back.

I think.

One of these might help.

Grammy Style Candy

2008-02-12T14:55:00.000-06:00

Let's start with the worst...

Fantastia of American Idol fame didn't look terrible, but her skunky, two-tone hair totally ruined it for me. I like Nelly Furtado's electric blue dress, but her makeup and jewelry make her look cheap. Does she have a gold slinky on her neck?!

Now, the maybes.

I think that Faith Hill looks gorgeous, but it isn't very Grammy-like as it is supposed to be the place to take some fashion risks and not be so very formal.

Oh, 18-year-old Taylor Swift. The gown is beautiful, but it seems a little too promlike for me. Her personal stylist designed it for her, but I think she could have looked a lot better in something else with a little edge to it.

The following gals rocked it.

Rihanna in a fun bright blue dress. This photo doesn't show it, but she had a great diamond cuff to accent this outfit, and I love it all. The green dress is Rihanna at last year's Grammys. I miss her bob. Your thoughts?

I just love Natasha Bedingfield in this grape-hued gown, and Miley Cyrus looking grown up and glamorous.

I think that Carrie Underwood's floral dress was my ultimate favorite. She looked great last year, too, in a nude-colored gown.

Beyonce's lighter locks set off her elaborate dress - I like her zig zag cuff, but I don't like it with that dress - it's too busy. Last year, she also showed up in silver.

I apologize...

2008-02-12T14:52:00.000-06:00

... for not posting for weeks.

I have been really sick, and all I did was sleep. Then I got better but have been swamped at work since then trying to catch after missing so many days of work. Finally, I have a little bit of time, and I will soon post!

Mena Suvari looks ski girl chic in her black & white ensemble while Sarah Michelle is sleek & sophisticated in her black & white Harve Lager body-hugging dress.

I think Ellen Pompeo looks beautiful in white - it's a big boob bow, but she pulls it off.
Julianne Moore in a great little grey dress and some way cute shoes!

Somehow, Paris Hilton showed up at most of the parties during the Sundance Film Festival, but she does like to party. It's a cute dress, but my fave part of this picture is the paparazzo in the back looking so blown away by her that he forgot that he was supposed to take a picture NOT look stupid in one.
Diane Kruger with a pop of yellow to her LBD.

I don't know how, but Blake Lively makes this granny-like look work.
Drop dead gorgeous Charlize Theron - I am copying this.
I think I would kill for that emerald Zac Posen dress of Diane Lane's. Just kidding, but it's so perfect.

Christy Turlington is fab as usual in a low-cut LBD with her hottie Edward Burns from 27 Dresses (GO SEE THAT MOVIE NOW. I INSIST!)
LOVE those red boots and the coats and the hats... (Olivia Wilde & Megalyn Echikunwoke)

Whoa.

2008-01-22T16:26:00.000-06:00

This is so shocking to me...

Heath Ledger found dead in NYC at age 28

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence, and police said drugs may have been a factor. He was 28. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let him know the masseuse had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block in SoHo, where several police officers guarded the door.

The Australian-born actor was nominated for an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," where he met Michelle Williams in 2005. The two had lived in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, until they split up last year.

I want...

2008-01-22T09:07:00.000-06:00

Cameron Diaz looking adorable as usual.

I want...

2008-01-15T18:12:00.000-06:00

... to always remember to think about life in this way.

A friend of mine sent this to me today, and it was just what I needed at just the right time.  Hope it makes you blessed ladies out there who read my blog as happy as it made me!
xoxo,
gg

Someone will always be prettier, skinnier, smarter or their houses will be bigger. Some may even drive a better car, their children do better in school or their husbands fix more things around the house...

Let it go; love youself and your circumstances. Think about it!  The prettiest woman in the world can have hatred in her heart.  The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.  The richest woman you know might have the car, the house, the clothes and might also be lonely.

As the word says, 'If I have not loved, I am nothing.' So, again, love youself.  Love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, 'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!'  'Winners make things happen.  Losers let things happen.'

Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman. You might consider yourself just another person, but to the one person you just sent this to, it could mean so much.'

I send it to all of you ladies! gg

Cleaning out my closet

2008-01-14T11:06:00.001-06:00

I had a rare weekend this past weekend.

I actually stayed at my own apartment and got to enjoy it by myself.

I know that sounds a bit anti-social, but I have been running my tail off, and it's so nice to take a break from everything. I did have a great visit with my mom and sis on Saturday, and then I retired to my apartment for some major laundry (I hadn't done laundry in like a month, but because of my obsession with Victoria's Secret, I did not run out of underwear) As Saturday night rolled around, I lounged around in my BCBG velour sweats, went to Blockbuster and rented The Nanny Diaries, opened a bottle of Sauv. Blanc and had a wonderful night to myself. I truly think you need those every once in a while, especially when life is crazy and things happen to you that you don't understand. The Nanny Diaries was the perfect rental - much better than the book.

Sunday brought a trip to church (and a renewal of my baptism!) then I spent all afternoon at home cleaning out my closet. Thanks to View from the Porch, I had the perfect plan, and I feel so much better knowing what's in my closet and thinning out the stuff that I don't wear.

I would strongly encourage you to do the same - it makes you feel so good and you can find out about all the clothes you have been forgetting! Plus, it just is so wonderful to see a clean closet!

I need to stop spending money - I made it to the outlet malls the other day and brought home three pairs of high quality cute shoes (they were only $20 a piece for designer shoes!) and a timeless black sheath dress from BCBG for $33 as well as an adorable red jacket for $40. I figure I should end my shopping with some great purchases!

Happy Closet Cleaning,

I like Katie Holmes bangs a bit side-swept like in that first picture, but the shot makes it appear that she is wearing a toga. I would love to have that red trench.

These two are now with baby! Keith Urban + Nicole Kidman = one cute baby.

I like Mandy Moore, and I really enjoy that shiny outfit.
Kyra Sedgwick received best-dressed honors at the Critics' Choice Awards in a flashy red Oscar de la Renta. What do you think of it?

A fun white dress for Hilary Swank. (See the movie P.S. I Love You if you haven't already - it is a GREAT movie, but bring your tissues because it is sad - with a happy ending.)
Judy Greer plays wedding again - first with JLo in Wedding Planner and now with K. Heigl in 27 Dresses (which I must see!)

Katherine Heigl - I just love that dress - it would have been perfect for the holidays!

Brittany Snow in Roberto Cavalli (I just loved her in the TV series American Dreams).
Drew Barrymore looking snazzy in Pucci!

Carrie Underwood in Betsey Johnson and a bit of Ellen Page, star of comedy Juno, which I want to see but haven't yet. I might wait for it to go to DVD.

... my life to slow down.

Things have been really crazy lately with the holidays and sh*t hitting the fan and an upcoming convention at work so I have been neglecting my blog.

But don't worry - I am going to try to do a better job. I will even give you some celebrity style candy to make you happy.

Rachel Bilson gorgeous in teal.

Attention Blogaholics

2007-12-21T08:07:00.000-06:00

If you are like me, you can spend a LOT of time reading others' fascinating blogs. But there is a better way to do this. I was introduced to this by one of Valley Girl's readers, and I have been forever grateful as it makes keeping up on your fave blogs much easier.

Not that it makes you be on Blogger any less...

The amazing mechanism is called Google Reader at www.google.com/reader. It allows you to subscribe to as many blogs as you want, and it will show you all the new posts, much like your e-mail inbox. You can unsubscribe to any blog you want if along the way you decide to not read them anymore. PLUS, you even get to read the posts that people delete. They will forever remain on Google Reader. Ah, bliss.

Thank goodess for Gossip Girl

2007-12-20T09:55:00.000-06:00

When all of my other favorite shows are running re-runs because of the writer strike, I still have my Gossip Girl, which has somehow managed to still be airing new episodes every week. Last night, I saw that it was sadly a Private Practice re-run, but I flipped to Gossip Girl and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was BRAND NEW! I ran to the gym at my apartment complex (hooray for finally having a TV in there!) and watched a fabulous, fresh episode. Thank you, Gossip Girl for churning out new shows and fantastic fashion.

Hair...

2007-12-19T09:01:00.000-06:00

Up close & personal look at the color...

... and the cut.

I did it!

2007-12-18T22:43:00.000-06:00

I've been stressing a bit lately with major work decisions and life in general so I did what a girl's got to do to de-stress. I got my hair did. It was uber-relaxing waiting for the color (darker!) to set while reading some material to get me set for an IMPORTANT, nerve-wracking interview tomorrow. I channeled Reese's bangs (again, I also did them last year about this time) and Voila! It's a new me, and I like it.

I know you are dying to see it, and I just might post you a picture sometime soon.

Stylin': Reese Witherspoon

2007-12-18T15:43:00.000-06:00

I had such overwhelming response from those who love Reese Witherspoon as much as me that I decided to do a post on her classy style. I have enjoyed watching her act since I was a young girl when I watched the Man in the Moon (her movie-acting debut), and some of my favorites include Sweet Home Alabama, Just Like Heaven, Walk the Line, Legally Blonde 1 & 2... She's fabulous!

2007-12-14T23:19:00.000-06:00

“Creating a cultural icon out of someone who goes, 'I'm stupid, isn't it cute?' makes me want to throw daggers. I want to say to them, 'My grandma did not fight for what she fought for just so you can start telling women it's fun to be stupid. Saying that to young women, little girls, my daughter? It's not OK'.”

~ Reese Witherspoon

Amen!

First, adorable little Suri and her mommy Katie Holmes doing some Pottery Barn Kids shopping. Go to Gorgeous Footprints in the Sand for more Suri and Violet (Garner + Affleck = Violet) pics.

Kate Hudson looking great in neutral shades. I just love her style.
Check out Mischa Barton in those shiny lycra leggings and studded Louboutins. I most definitely could not pull off that look. Shiny leggings are probably not my best friend, but they are cute.

Kristen Bell in a cute golden frock (that I would love to wear to a holiday event) and Thandie Newton, beautiful as usual. I am loving this ruffle trend so much I bought this dress.

Oh, I want this red jacket of Katherine Heigl's. I cannot figure out what Gwen Stefani's dress is made of, but it is a fun dress.

Hilary Swank in Monique Lhuillier at the premiere of P.S. I Love You.

Product Review: Modern Movement Warmwear

2007-12-10T12:44:00.000-06:00

I tend to get cold easily. When we are going to be doing something in cold weather, my man brings up the time I freaked out a little bit during the FREEZING Inaugural Parade in Washington, DC. I definitely did not wear enough clothing to keep warm while sitting outside for an extended period of time. Once I couldn't handle it anymore, we hightailed it back to our hotel to get ready for a fancy dinner in DC and delicious champagne in our room later.

Alas, I have found the key to ending my intense hatred of cold weather - fantastic long underwear made for women. You see, I went to a football game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in sub-freezing temperatures, and I knew I had to prepare myself to be in the cold for a v. LONG time. It was the big MU vs. KU game, and we won!

So I bought these at full price.

I loved them so much that I went back and bought a second pair in black. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were 33% off! I am considering getting the white set, too. I bought some for my sister and might get some for my mom, too!

I have heard that Cuddl Duds are great, too, but I don't own any and these featured were the only ones that I could find on such short notice when I realized how cold it was going to be for the best game in recent MU history.

Pros: Keep you warm, are thin enough to fit underneath clothes, feel silky and wonderful against the skin, are really comfortable.

Cons: The pants are NOT low-rise, actually they are pretty high-rise.

GG grade: A+

Much to say about fashion: Heidi Klum

Carrie Underwood is absolutely beautiful in this gold, but I always think she looks like a Barbie doll. Sometimes I hate her for her beauty. B*tch. Just kidding. She was dating that hottie from Gossip Girl, but it has apparently fizzled. Boys need to stop cheating on her - she even has a song about it!

The happy couple: J-Lo is a pregnant vision in white.

I love Kate Hudson in this black sheath and WOW, look at Katie Holmes - all grown up and STUNNING in Monique Lhullier.

Some classic jeans looks with Penelope Cruz and Katherine Heigl.

I want to be Rachel Bilson - love, love, love that second look.

I am kinda like - what the heck is that black piece of material covering this extravagant and beautiful yellow dress on Beyonce... It's design is not working for me.

Lovin' the LBD

2007-11-26T10:07:00.000-06:00

Oh, the Little Black Dress (LBD). It is a fashion staple for many of us, as it should be. It can be sexy. It can be classy. It can be chic. It is always fashionable. If you are in Toronto, they even have the LittleBlackDressShop. Celebrities celebrate the LBD at philanthropic fashion events. I wish I could go to one of those. If I could, I would wear this LBD. So, dive right in for some LBD goodness from celebs + a bit of shopping opportunities for you to buy your very own LBD. I just bought one last week, and I cannot wait to wear it!

Target tar-jay goodies

2007-11-20T14:43:00.000-06:00

Today over lunch, I dashed into Target *tar-jay* for a bit of Christmas shopping mixed with a bit of me-shopping. My motivation came from finding a present for my sister as well as this post from Valley Girl about the wrap dress below, and it was only $24.99! This store is amazing. *also available online - click on picture*

I did find my sis a present, too, but it's not clothes or about fashion so I am not posting it. I just wanted to let you know that I did buy something for someone else besides me:) They also have some great coats for only $39.99 - $59.99. Here are a few that I loves. I just added one of them to my Christmas list! *also available online - click on picture*

"Sometimes I look at what really young girls wear and I can’t believe it- I have underwear that covers more than what some of them have on! I think it’s important that girls know they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up."

Rachel Bilson looks so fashionable in this little unique dress. I definitely would like to find a knock-off.

Cameron Diaz looking jet-setter cute at the airport with Louis Vuitton luggage and a great belted tunic and hat. I LOVE Hayden Panettiere's grey boots, and they are so very fashion-forward with her outfit.

Jessica Alba and Alicia Keys in killer jackets for fall.

A moment for LC and Audrina since The Hills is on tonight! That belted red dress is uber cute.

Beyonce is adorable in those tie-front pants - I wish I had the body to wear them, but I seriously have no hips. Jennifer Hudson certainly has the gorgeous curves to pull off this outfit.

Katherine Heigl is always fabulous! Those boots are just perfect.

Tag. You're it!

2007-11-16T08:21:00.000-06:00

Valley Girl from Life of a Valley Girl has tagged me for a Meme. I am excited - thanks so much, Valley Girl! I heart Meme's!

According to the rules, I must (1) List 7 random facts about myself, (2) tag 7 people, and (3) leave a comment on their blog letting them know.

Here goes:

1. I grew up in the country with horses, sheep, a pygmy goat, bunnies, puppies and kitty cats.
2. I am currently keeping some humongous secrets and not being able to tell them to anyone is driving me batty. I am pacifying myself by talking endlessly about the secrets to the people who told them to me.
3. I get really, really p*ssed off when men act like I am not equal to them because I don't have a penis. I will soon start to act like they are not equal because they do not have hooters.
4. I was two minutes late to work today because I went back into my apartment to find my RAZR phone, but I was unsuccessful. I still don't know where it is. The lateness doesn't matter because my boss is only at work at most 4 hours a week.
5. I used to run outside almost every single day in all kinds of weather, but I am now too scared to go by myself for fear of someone attacking me and you all hearing about it on CNN. Running on treadmills is nowhere near the same, and I miss it. *sigh*
6. I wish I could quit my job and have lots of money so I could just ride horses, jog, shop and nap all day long. Then drink very expensive wine & champagne from crystal glasses after my exhausting day of doing nothing.
7. Once I am ready to have kids I want two girls who are approximately 2 years apart. That's the age difference between me and my sis, and we are very close. I want that for my kids, but I also wouldn't mind having twins - one boy, one girl. Two kids is the max for me. I have been a baby-sitter for a lot in my life, and everytime the family had a third kid, it created a dynamic that was a bit too much for me.

Now I tag:

1. Fresh off the Farm
2. Dana from It's a Wonderful Life
3. Michelle of Michelle & Morgan
4. Sarah from View from the Porch
5. Lane from Home Cooking is What I Like
6. D from Shallow and Very, Very Single
7. A Martini Always Helps from Single + Cats = Sad

J Lo is looking fairly fabulous lately with her shimmering dresses and natural beauty makeup.

I just love Rihanna's hair, and this D&G jewel tone is fabulous on her! Nelly Furtado is gorgeous in this brown and gold number.

I am going to definitely copy Cameron Diaz's look this fall. Must also remember to buy some satin wide-cuffed pants like Angelina Jolie's to go with my sassy little trench.

Oh, Katherine Heigl is tres chic in this business outfit, and I might have to also copy it for the office (minus the Jimmy Choo bag because I seriously cannot afford it.) LOVing this yellow D&G number on Eva Mendes. Katie Holmes adorable in Hermes - she is just uber cute lately.

Yummy

This post was inspired by Valley Girl.

Just a little eye candy for you from the ABC TV show, Big Shots.

I lust after Michael Vartan.

The power suits in Big Shots make this lust hard to control.

It's almost Christmas, and I have been an awful good girl - maybe sometimes naughty - but mostly nice.
Santa Baby, hurry down my chimney tonight!

AE Swing Cardigan, $59.50 (tres cute!)
comes in 4 colors!

Santa Baby lyrics (the best Christmas song ever)
Marilyn Monroe
(baboom baboom baboom baboom)
(baboom baboom baboom baboom)

Santa Baby,
Just slip a sable under the tree
For me
Been an awful good girl
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa Baby, I want a yacht and really thats not
Alot
Been an angel all year
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey, one little thing I really need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex
And cheques
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tif-fa-ny
I really do believe in you
Lets see if you believe in me

Santa Baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry...tonight

And here is second in my series of celeb style from Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. The first was of Kate Walsh, my favorite. Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) is my second favorite, even if the whole cheating/having sex with George made me a bit nauseous. She still has great style! If you haven't seen her in the movie, Knocked Up, you should. It's hilarious - vulgar - but hilarious!

Fancy pants
