Not a good night for fashion...<b>Note to Readers:</b><div>I was just looking through some photos from the VMAs, and it looks like everyone had a hard time getting their looks just right. Maybe when it is an MTV event people think anything goes, but it just ended up with a lot of confused looking ensembles! I try not to be overly negative on this blog, but I am pretty underwhelmed by these looks...</div><div>

<br />Note to Selena Gomez:
<br />You usually have such a fresh and ladylike style. I am not sure about this lace-cut out dress, it looks like an Elvira remake. Let's go back to your flirty dresses and we'll just forget all about this misstep. You did better than your fellow Disney starlet...

<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Miley:</span>
<br />I understand trying to dress more maturely in an effort to be taken seriously, but I think dressing like a Golden Girl is taking it a little bit too far. The thing is, there was a stylist involved and I am sure the stylist and his/her team pulled a bunch of options for you. I just don't know how this was the best choice?

<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Katy Perry:</span>
<br />There are no words. This looks like a castaway from Gwen Stefani's Harajuku girls costumes a few years back.
<br />
<br />TO END ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
<br />I feel like this post is just ripping on everyone, which is not what I usually like to do! My problem is, I love fashion. LIVE for it, and I think that so many other people do as well. So when you think about how many people are helping each of these stars getting ready for an event, lets get some admirable looks on that black carpet! You know what I mean? Especially with all of the AMAZING clothes out there right now, lets see some of them in action and not just on Style.com!!

<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Katie Holmes:</span>
<br />I love your dress! It is just the right balance between casual and dressed up. The color and pattern look great on you, and I think you look amazing. My one complaint is, the pose? Although if I had a ton of people taking my picture, I would probably have a few awkward poses here and there too.

My sweet friend Ani has a baby girl, Ruby, who is only a few months old but was diagnosed with liver failure. She is currently awaiting a liver transplant and receiving excellent (but pricey) care from the experts at UCLA. This whole situation just breaks my heart.<br /><br />Stella & Dot stylist Julie Krueger contacted my friend Jena of <a href="http://www.justcookalready.com/">Just Cook Already</a> fame, to have a Jewelry Sale Fundraiser. All the details are on the image above (you may have to enlarge it). The sale is already up and running, and lasts until Friday June 10th. So, if you feel like accessorizing, being charitable, or love a good sale, please visit <a href="http://stelladot.com/sites/juliek">stelladot.com/juliek</a><br /><br />Also, if you would like to just donate money to little Ruby's medical care, you can visit her fundraising blog <a href="http://rubyjanetaylor.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<div><br /></div><div>Need a little more nudging? Let me tell you a little bit about Ani. When my husband had his appendix out in April, and I was in the midst of my all-day "morning sickness", Ani asked if she could help us in anyway. WHILE she was dealing with little Ruby's medical problems and keeping up with her beyond adorable 2 year old Kate. That's just the kind of selfless friend she is. Love her.<br /><br /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-73931542645129602352011-04-29T09:51:00.000-07:002011-04-29T10:04:49.149-07:00Princess Bride<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXAhuib1DGNo8-596q7EJ6t1SGcQlutprILDQ4IH8HKUAsHd1SV15NCWqlgBm9qOB0LukDQtPW07Y1WOEojCDjYLMqRpJoGoanGbNxLf50Pn8KQ4yF5UrFXzhEikYhQ9k3Gmd6vlK8iiYM/s1600/Catherine+Middleton%2527s+Wedding+Dress%253A+Was+It+Inspired+by+Grace+Kelly%253F+%257C+Royal+Wedding%252C+Kate+Middleton-1.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXAhuib1DGNo8-596q7EJ6t1SGcQlutprILDQ4IH8HKUAsHd1SV15NCWqlgBm9qOB0LukDQtPW07Y1WOEojCDjYLMqRpJoGoanGbNxLf50Pn8KQ4yF5UrFXzhEikYhQ9k3Gmd6vlK8iiYM/s400/Catherine+Middleton%2527s+Wedding+Dress%253A+Was+It+Inspired+by+Grace+Kelly%253F+%257C+Royal+Wedding%252C+Kate+Middleton-1.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601049412462528210" /></a><br /><b>Note to the Bride:</b><div>You look beautiful. The wait is over, now we all know you wore an Alexander McQueen dress designed by the house's creative director Sarah Burton. You also wore a Cartier tiara lent to you from the Queen herself, and diamond earrings that your parents gave you. I like that your accessories had significant sentimental value. You definitely look like the princess you now are.</div><div><br /></div><div>There have been some complaints that your dress was too safe, and that it was too much like Grace Kelly's when she married the Prince of Monaco. Don't let the critics phase you. Your wedding photos will be referenced for decades, not to mention all of the people watching today. This was not the time to debut an avant garde, cutting-edge style, that will look dated in two hours. (I doubt Princess Diana thought her puffy sleeves were of-the-moment, but they definitely look eighties now)</div><div><br /></div><div>Your dress compliments your slim figure, your makeup is simple and pretty, and your smile is a perfect accessory. This style will remain classic. If you are going to pay homage to a wedding dress, Grace Kelly's is the one to do it to.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Note to Readers:</b></div><div>What did you think of Kate's wedding day look? Keep in mind there are still luncheons, dinners, and parties tonight, where she will have a chance to change into something that is more current. (if she chooses to, of course) I originally thought the look was a little boring, but when I remembered the pressure on her, I think she was smart to wear something timeless to the actual wedding. I think this new Princess is a smart cookie.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, did you wake up to watch the wedding live?

I don't understand what's happening here. What part of fringed Gucci mini-dress means accessorize with gym hair and nerdy/hipster glasses. I can see the hair and glasses with a pair of skinny jeans a cool silk blouse or sweater, and some ankle boots or ballet flats. I can see the dress and shoes with a messy-updo or ponytail without the glasses. I just don't understand them together. I bet this look is making Rachel Zoe want to end her maternity leave.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Readers:</span><br />I know this look was for a premiere of a children's movie, so the rules of fashion don't always apply. However, even if you are going to the grocery store, you want to make sure you are dressed appropriately. I wouldn't wear a floor length gown with a pair of Sketchers Shape ups, and I wouldn't wear a swimsuit and accessorize with ski goggles. What ever you decide to accessorize with, make sure it complements what you already have going on.<br /><br />Happy Monday everyone!<br /><br />PS.

It is fun to imagine what it would be like if you were able to choose a gown from a top designer. I wonder what I would pick. I get excited to pick out an outfit for going on a date with Ben, so I can't even imagine how excited I would be to choose a gown from a designer to walk the red carpet!

Something about the chill in the air, and the subtle scent of cinnamon everywhere that puts a smile on my face. Do you know what else I love? This Lanvin dress! Wouldn't it be perfect to wear to a holiday party? The soft draped fabric looks like it would be comfortable too, which helps because I can never say no to a slice of pumpkin pie!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Note to Cate Blanchett:</b></div><div>What really is there to say? Porcelain skin, beautiful features, great hair, charming accent, and killer style. Love you, and love you in Lanvin.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Note to Jennifer Hudson:</b></div><div>LOOKING SO GOOD! I hate it when someone loses weight and people say, "You look so much better". You have always been a beauty. A talented one too... must be nice to have that singing voice. When people have better figures after having babies, it really gives me hope. Anyway, you are looking smashing, and this Lanvin is an excellent choice for your figure. Which makes me think it is uber-versatile because it is equally flattering on you and Cate who have different looks and body-types.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Additional Note to Readers:</b></div><div>Le Sigh, the holiday season--and its fashions are making me swoon.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I worked on a job this week that is going to blow your minds. (I signed a confidentiality agreement, so you know its going to be good) Can't wait until I can share it with you all.</div><div><br /></div><div>xx,</div><div>Lisa</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-81509840399051174452010-11-04T16:14:00.000-07:002010-11-04T16:37:47.183-07:00Rue Magazine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgztLMs_UihiMDaqFZLFXV3Bg6T8OLOl1lvQ6TmD7fvsc8CpKEdH84RiJszi4flJ6Y9-VkMptC7RiismLzppBQdLg7J6vZsKkV4oIGHWViXVO6DXyTxcY_vj9CK6li4DD5-Y7r7CYb15i71/s1600/girls_with_glasses-1.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgztLMs_UihiMDaqFZLFXV3Bg6T8OLOl1lvQ6TmD7fvsc8CpKEdH84RiJszi4flJ6Y9-VkMptC7RiismLzppBQdLg7J6vZsKkV4oIGHWViXVO6DXyTxcY_vj9CK6li4DD5-Y7r7CYb15i71/s400/girls_with_glasses-1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535842602227935090" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Note to Readers:</span><br />Tuesday I had the opportunity to be in a photo shoot for Rue Magazine. If you haven't heard of Rue yet, allow me to introduce you, please click <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/">here</a> for a fabulous find.<br /><br />The lovely ladies at Rue are doing a feature on <a href="http://www.thegirlswithglasses.com/">The Girls With Glasses</a>. Have you met the Girls With Glasses yet? Allow me to introduce you. You remember Brooke White from American Idol, the other girl with glasses is Summer Bellessa, editor of <a href="http://elizamagazine.com/subscribe.php">Eliza Magazine</a>.<br /><br />Anyway, I obviously can not post anything from the shoot until Rue does, but I will keep you all posted. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you all know what was going on.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Note to Rue Magazine:</span><br />Thank you for a hosting such a fun party, and by party I mean photo shoot that was so fun it felt like a party! I can't wait to see what other fun ideas you lovely ladies have up your sleeves.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note to the Girls With Glasses:</span><br />Thank you for including me in the shoot. Summer, you know I adore you and Brooke I feel really bonded somewhere in between hair back-combing and photo-booth chinese firedrills.

This is not from a photo shoot, it is a candid shot of you relaxing. The fedora to the pretty floral dress and minimal makeup and jewelry are a perfect 'laid back' look. I like that your look is well put together, but doesn't look overly styled. Also, I kind of miss you on The Office. Another guest starring episode perhaps?

I have missed you all, and missed giving you my two cents about the wonderful world of fashion. Tonight was the MTV VMAs. I don't have cable right now (a giant LE SIGH!), so I didn't see the show, but you better believe I looked up what people were wearing! Without further delay... here are my thoughts about a few of the hits and misses of the night:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2MxmeMNLLmE4cyp039owm87sf50wCiTh0T4pALZuT5mWcqnRE3w5cqcEvo442qzhjNaqWrZeWK8dJSexAVICUuRaIY1r4heihl3RZwvenbvjQ6RRseHU0SHpMAht2-3-NTvNe8oqwlbpm/s1600/rihanna.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2MxmeMNLLmE4cyp039owm87sf50wCiTh0T4pALZuT5mWcqnRE3w5cqcEvo442qzhjNaqWrZeWK8dJSexAVICUuRaIY1r4heihl3RZwvenbvjQ6RRseHU0SHpMAht2-3-NTvNe8oqwlbpm/s400/rihanna.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516234565116942994" /></a><br />Note to Rihanna:<br />You are pretty much the definition of fierce, and you have an incredibly enviable figure, but let's be honest... this ensemble is not showing either. It looks like you are doing some kind of tribute to Madonna and Carrie's Sex and the City opening look, but this is not my favorite look on you. I do appreciate that you went for a more feminine look, it is always nice to change it up. I like your hair/headband as well. So maybe I just am not a fan from the neck down? Sorry, please don't hate me. I'm still Team Rihanna. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ePlQKPmBVTJxdjKK4uvUiHlU7-SNoXxSBhX8oWs_KuTMqsLesEn_h5rzwsC1NqSEoIORc0bEKgqvrAk2v7qVxfnm9dB5623BtWfy1QmkWiKr1nj-CMVpYM5jvmnKkFHJ4_ke3zlk6BPf/s1600/taylor-swift.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ePlQKPmBVTJxdjKK4uvUiHlU7-SNoXxSBhX8oWs_KuTMqsLesEn_h5rzwsC1NqSEoIORc0bEKgqvrAk2v7qVxfnm9dB5623BtWfy1QmkWiKr1nj-CMVpYM5jvmnKkFHJ4_ke3zlk6BPf/s400/taylor-swift.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516235582420932514" /></a><br />Note to Taylor Swift:<br />Speaking of loving when people change it up, I love your old Hollywood waves and vampy lipstick! Your look is very glamorous and I love it! What happened to your shoes though? Maybe it was explained in the show, and I just didn't see it? I just don't understand having a definite head-to-toe look, but forgetting the toe part? Anyway... I like the dramatic look.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5-CB-qdzVboChPVIoF_07LM3Ncsy9jVk6a0KCc_EBg74ywWU1eD2sRXw6wgSkOsMTAsTmqj5GoswzUCobof28kJlkxwGWspOtAmBg4zY0RLKxZ2liOZ7m3yghmNRQEFXTWNEA2M_XQnL/s1600/lady-gaga-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5-CB-qdzVboChPVIoF_07LM3Ncsy9jVk6a0KCc_EBg74ywWU1eD2sRXw6wgSkOsMTAsTmqj5GoswzUCobof28kJlkxwGWspOtAmBg4zY0RLKxZ2liOZ7m3yghmNRQEFXTWNEA2M_XQnL/s400/lady-gaga-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516239919337793346" /></a><br />Note to Lady Gaga:<br />Speaking of dramatic looks... you definitely brought the drama. You are wearing a look from the late Alexander (Lee) McQueen's final collection, and I think he would be proud. Sometimes your looks are too crazy for me (for example the Kermit the frog stuffed animal neckline outfit), this one however I think is fitting for your ever-evolving persona.<br /><br />Well... that's it for now. I am not going highlight Katy Perry's attempt at wearing high-fashion (Marchesa's figure skating costume of a dress), or the fact that Ke$ha's braid reminded me of Jenny Humphrey's season finale hair. I need to get some rest, I think this is going to be a good week everyone.<br /><br />What did you all think about VMA fashion?Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-60549660340010010442010-08-16T19:21:00.001-07:002010-08-16T19:21:41.759-07:00Must Be Nice...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2fZCAnNd99BCGqT769vWCJuYo5e3JKagJNIn-q4BkmGHzf-ARtntVznA5q5IsgmW8g24zZi1ggKYbJdvKQQ9oq_RIYdudxidG8dKYbPX7b4CLjPVclCPZSZVffqqyg1-bKY7H7sSWQh0x/s1600/gisele+bundchen+pantene+perfect+06.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2fZCAnNd99BCGqT769vWCJuYo5e3JKagJNIn-q4BkmGHzf-ARtntVznA5q5IsgmW8g24zZi1ggKYbJdvKQQ9oq_RIYdudxidG8dKYbPX7b4CLjPVclCPZSZVffqqyg1-bKY7H7sSWQh0x/s400/gisele+bundchen+pantene+perfect+06.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506195269866034466" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Gisele:</span><br />Uhhh... remember how you just had a baby? Being pregnant really damaged your body for life. Hopefully you are able to find a way to support yourself not involving your appearance, because I don't want you to have false hope that you will have your supermodel career back.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Readers:</span><br />Some girls really have all the luck. I mean not only is Gisele gorgeous, she has beautiful hair, and a killer bod. Don't misconstrue this post as being negative, I am not into bashing people out of envy. I am really more in awe of her perfection. I have read that she is very into eating healthy, and she is also diligent about exercise. So at least she isn't saying she got her body back while eating KFC and watching Jersey Shore.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-32759816084203136812010-08-03T16:52:00.000-07:002010-08-03T17:01:54.067-07:00My Mind...

I am not familiar with the brand, <a href="http://store.coreylynncalter.com/dresses.html">Corey Lynn Calter</a>, but apparently I need to be. I like that you belted it, and paired it with nude heels, fun earrings, and beachy waved hair. Too many accessories can really weigh down a summer ensemble, so I think you are styled wisely. You wore this look to Comi-Con in San Diego, and you definitely dressed appropriately for the occasion and season (are you taking notes Angelina?) Anyway, well done, you are definitely making your name proud.<div><br /></div><div>It's kind of funny, but I feel like you have to be pretty with the name Summer. Seriously, all of the Summers I know are gorgeous. Maybe if I have a girl someday, I will name her Summer, so the odds are in her favor. Now that I have typed out Summer so much, it doesn't seem like a real word, does that ever happen to you?<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Note to Readers:</b></div><div>Am I the only one totally feeling stripes these days? I have had to consciously stop trying on striped dresses/skirts/tops, because I am becoming (gasp) one-noted in my sartorial choices. Stripes are just so fun to wear in the summer though... I just need to wear them in moderation. If you see me around, and I am in stripes, don't be surprised but know I am trying to change it up.</div><div><br /></div></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-89699859084762277022010-07-23T16:51:00.001-07:002010-07-27T00:11:57.381-07:00Yawn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nloLdulGIbxSihcOzkaQ5xbeWoSmw1faL9nsaIC3aS3Gq5msoTJJTsZ1KnWEvpCEJGvHIY9TtYKxaPVNQ-M5U8bJyS6NC4bJOLrmbFa-yFRIpCMv3Yei8sekYah3Go1ePv31vfmVkkUU/s1600/angelina-jolie-2-435.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nloLdulGIbxSihcOzkaQ5xbeWoSmw1faL9nsaIC3aS3Gq5msoTJJTsZ1KnWEvpCEJGvHIY9TtYKxaPVNQ-M5U8bJyS6NC4bJOLrmbFa-yFRIpCMv3Yei8sekYah3Go1ePv31vfmVkkUU/s400/angelina-jolie-2-435.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497253653718215186" /></a><b>Note to Angelina Jolie:</b><div>We get it. You are so pretty you don't need to worry about wearing color or anything, and you will still look smashing. Are you getting a little bit bored of wearing black? We all know it is a great universal color, but enough is enough. This photo was taken at Comicon in San Diego, we are in the middle of summer and you are in black leather? Let's lighten things up a bit, ok?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Note to Readers:</b></div><div>Black is one of my go-to colors when I feel like I need to look good, and I don't have time to throw together something new. So I am not knocking wearing black, by any means. I am just saying, if you are Angelina Jolie, and you have designers and stylists at your beck and call don't you think you would be able to incorporate a little bit of variety into your wardrobe?</div><div><br /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-8126107387470938952010-07-19T20:45:00.001-07:002010-07-19T20:58:42.012-07:00Something Borrowed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCc1Z_l_Z2XUPWdjsxI5neQSDCXgL3-6H04CFWgEn3875CbZLJ3Z5Cj_cjqXiurYw4Ql0BPKtxEAEkRwUdtfthB7b6th0YQTSRGZN2uDbLxsGg0SfYhKQ0h7hEQKFxOO0zFMkfa5FAWD6R/s1600/KATE+HUDSON+%26+GINNIFER+GOODWIN+photo+%7C+Ginnifer+Goodwin,+Kate+Hudson.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCc1Z_l_Z2XUPWdjsxI5neQSDCXgL3-6H04CFWgEn3875CbZLJ3Z5Cj_cjqXiurYw4Ql0BPKtxEAEkRwUdtfthB7b6th0YQTSRGZN2uDbLxsGg0SfYhKQ0h7hEQKFxOO0zFMkfa5FAWD6R/s400/KATE+HUDSON+%26+GINNIFER+GOODWIN+photo+%7C+Ginnifer+Goodwin,+Kate+Hudson.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495829656507916418" /></a><b><br />Note to Readers:</b><br />Have you read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Something-Borrowed-Emily-Giffin/dp/031232118X">Something Borrowed</a>? I read it a few years ago and loved it, and I am beyond excited for the movie to come out. It has already wrapped filming, and has Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, and newlywed John Krasinski in starring roles. I will be the first to admit that it is not thought-provoking, change the way you think, type of fiction. It is a perfect breezy summer read, and I hope the movie will due the book justice. Photos from filming kept popping up on people.com, and I am counting down to see the movie. Hudson's glamorous Darcy is well balanced by natural beauty Goodwin's Rachel. According to IMDB it doesn't come out until 2011... le sigh.<br /><b><br />Additional Note to Readers:</b><br />I am in a wee bit of a book rut. Any suggestions? I just finished The Help (loved it), The Heart of the Matter (hated it), and am thinking about reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society next.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-26782135778164619342010-07-12T16:33:00.001-07:002010-07-12T16:45:14.050-07:00Weekend of Weddings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGJr25fcHKAhmjdd4HPSQWEClyITtJCvWcgZlsk4ZBzZtbCPlq_wzhru59DedS-0-qJWQKHaJCzd0IbJnWhPGl4VEUMPj47XYR3_7-ibKkXYUhxV5hT-21RPhv979pP7o7_lh1y_LE7aJ/s1600/emily-blunt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGJr25fcHKAhmjdd4HPSQWEClyITtJCvWcgZlsk4ZBzZtbCPlq_wzhru59DedS-0-qJWQKHaJCzd0IbJnWhPGl4VEUMPj47XYR3_7-ibKkXYUhxV5hT-21RPhv979pP7o7_lh1y_LE7aJ/s400/emily-blunt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493169631409757250" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note to Readers:</span><br />It was a big weekend for beautiful brides.

You (and your outfits) might be what I miss most about Ugly Betty. I don't know what you are like in real life, but I do know that your real life style is killer as well. This leads me to believe I would love real life Becky as much as I love Ugly Betty's Amanda. Anyway, enough gushing, it was just confirmed that you and your husband are expecting a baby. CONGRATS! I hope you are still a red-carpet regular so we can see how your style evolves throughout your pregnancy. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Note to Readers:</span><br />I love to see how people's style evolves as their lives do. Whether it is for expecting a baby, fluctuations in weight, lifestyle changes, or just style changes, I like to see the different clothing choices people make. When I graduated college I took a job at an office where I had to dress more professionally than my college uniform of jeans and sweatshirts. It was fun picking out different button up shirts, skirts and dress pants. I definitely felt more grown up. I noticed when I started styling and working with models frequently, I often wore heels or wedges so I didn't feel like a midget around them. A lot of my friends have had or are having babies, and it is fun to see how they still keep aspects of their original style and modify it to accomodate their changing bodies.<br /><br />Maybe I just love clothes, and how people choose to represent themselves with what they wear. I'm not the only one right?Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081112905160535912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358088684289478575.post-88519833174246751642010-06-29T17:53:00.000-07:002010-06-30T08:00:39.387-07:00WIPEOUT!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOrCY1bYRI-TcpNRa98ge2q3Khd0UsbBPbolqVVYcj0CIIhxzGxs4RZEGETVz6PIDNY4JPDeGhKRByD-ZKRgQ4P2AxOtO4x0ebqnsKhvEICfN5cA9HvmlN49ERVG4sF_Fav5Yy8EKdzBmG/s1600/37365_403107647879_23848612879_4436344_3605161_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOrCY1bYRI-TcpNRa98ge2q3Khd0UsbBPbolqVVYcj0CIIhxzGxs4RZEGETVz6PIDNY4JPDeGhKRByD-ZKRgQ4P2AxOtO4x0ebqnsKhvEICfN5cA9HvmlN49ERVG4sF_Fav5Yy8EKdzBmG/s400/37365_403107647879_23848612879_4436344_3605161_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488581241378990210" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">(Actual photo of my friend Jill)</div><b><div><b><br /></b></div>Note to Readers:</b><div>My girl, Jill is going to be on ABC's Wipeout tonight!

I hope that you are off enjoying a perfect honeymoon somewhere with your new husband. I love the simplicity in the design of your shoulder-bearing Par Engsheden wedding gown. I think it was wise to go with a sophisticated and sleek design, considering the lengthy train of your dress. Also, I like that your dress was subtly sexy but not overtly revealing. Something about a royal wedding with a backless or cleavage bearing gown does not quite fit. The best thing you wore on your wedding day, besides your killer tiara, is your radiant smile.</div><div><br /></div><div>PS. I LOVE that your husband wore his glasses on your wedding day. Very GQ, if you ask me.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Note to Readers:</b></div><div>As I am looking through the photos of the guests at this wedding, I can't help but feel a little bit envious of the tiaras, adorning many of the womens' heads. I wonder if the tiara-less guests felt inferior to those wearing the tiaras. If I were invited, I might wear one regardless of status. Do you really think that someone would have the audacity to ask me if I was really a princess or queen of somewhere? If they did, and I honestly replied, do you think I would be asked to remove it?</div><div><br /></div><div>Hmmmm....
