A little bit of a Girl Crush...

Note to Rashida Jones:
I love every thing about this photo. 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? (photo found here, warning you may die of jealousy of Gisele's post-baby bod)

Note to Readers:
You've heard it from me before... sorry I haven't been blogging... life is busy... blah blah blah. I am turning into a broken record lately. Thank you for reading, and I will try to be better for you. J'adore you all!

VMA's 2010

Note to Readers:
I am so sorry for neglecting you lately, life has been crazy-busy. 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:


Note to Rihanna:
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.


Note to Taylor Swift:
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.


Note to Lady Gaga:
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.

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.

What did you all think about VMA fashion?

Must Be Nice...

Note to Gisele:
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.

Note to Readers:
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.

My Mind... Blown

Note to Readers:

This may be a bit off topic, but I just received part of Ben and my wedding video and (maybe I am biased) but it is oh so good! I want to post it on this blog, as opposed to my personal blog because I want to spread the word about the amazing Ryan Southwell. My girl, Nicci, told me about him and I am so glad I was able to hire him for Ben and my wedding vid.

If you have ANYTHING you need a videographer for, run to Ryan, don't walk. (Or send him an email, that's probably easier)

Note to Ryan:

Thank you so, so much for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. You were also really fun to have around on our wedding day (which is good, considering how much time we spent with you!) There was no Kelly Clarkson, or me twirling, but I think it turned out ok. (kidding, obviously)

Summery Indeed

Note to Summer Glau:
Admittedly, I am on quite a stripes kick, but I have to say I adore your dress! I am not familiar with the brand, Corey Lynn Calter, 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.

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?

Note to Readers:

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.

Yawn

Note to Angelina Jolie:

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?

Note to Readers:

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?

Something Borrowed

Note to Readers:
Have you read Something Borrowed? 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.

Additional Note to Readers:
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.
