Tantastic

I am currently experimenting with this stuff. So far, so good. No smell, streaking or fake orangeness, however my ankle bones look like they could belong to Samuel L. Jackson. I suppose I went slightly overboard.

Baby Boy Blank

Considering Matthew McConaughey's brother named his son Miller Lyte, I am a little excited/nervous to see what Matty has come up with for his kid.

I vote for Wooderson.

UPDATE: The baby's name is Levi Alves McConaughey. Eh. At least it's not Bud Lyte.

Cute?

I know Tom's Shoes are a socially conscious phenomenon but are they cute? Thoughts.

The Night Dylan Went Electric

He was booed by the fans at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 when this was recorded for abandoning his folk roots for a rock sound, but I think it sounds fabulous. This song makes my soul dance. It makes me think of my dad. When he was sick, I found every movie, documentary, live concert, etc. imaginable on Earth about Bob Dylan and we watched them together and talked about our favorite Dylan songs.I know his voice and sound are an acquired taste, but I absolutely adore him and am grateful to my dad for shaping my love of his music.

ps- In case you were wondering, he eventually made his way to the stage again and sang an acoustic version of Mr. Tambourine Man.

Smitten Kitten

A while back I posted on my one true make up love, Stila eye shadow in Kitten. Now Stila has made me smitten all over again with the new Kitten lipgloss. The pinky gold shimmer is gorgeous alone or on top of your favorite shade of lipstick. I am in lippy love.

Chick Flick Movie Reviews

Eh. All this movie did was make me want to be a red head like the adorable Isla Fisher.


Double eh. No one really does a British period movie like Keira Knightley.

Love On A Vespa

Kelly Ripa and her adorable husband, Mark, enjoy some smooches over lunch at Pastis before hopping on their vintage Vespa to tool around NYC.




I tried to convince my husband to buy me a Vespa while on our honeymoon in Hawaii. I wanted a cool mint green one. He didn't take the bait. It would have been hard to get it on the plane anyway.

ps- Kelly's outfit is soooo cute!!

Even Blair Rocks The Beach Cruiser

There are no words to describe the excitement and anticipation I feel for the new season of Gossip Girl in the Hamptons. The style is going to be out of control.

I Dig This Invitation

Doesn't a "party" sound more retro and fabulous when you call it a "shindig?" I can't wait to get into the new house and host a little shindig of my own and send these coaster invitations out to all the guests.

ps- House pics coming next week. They are finally painting!

Ribbon Roll Call

It may sound incredibly lame but I have always wanted a craft station at home. A large, clean, flat surface to do all things crafty. After spying this photo on Oh Happy Day, I became more certain that I want one. If this crafting station came to be, I would have to get this fab ribbon holder to hold the many rolls I have that get shoved into random boxes and subsequently shoved in random cabinets. Maybe if I had one, wrapping gifts wouldn't be such a chore!

They Finally Went On Sale

And of course, don't have my size.

Tour De Mayer

John Mayer is coming to Houston in August and I am going to be there. I have a college friend who works for him and he hooks us up with tickets when he comes to town. It was pretty funny last time he came to town. It was arranged for me to pick up the tickets at the Will Call window. I had to tell the guy that I was on John's personal list. When I did, about 6 sixteen year olds shot me the look of death. To tell you the truth, I was not a Mayer fan until I saw him in person. I only knew the Wonderland song and thought he was annoying but after seeing him and getting hooked up with his CD (also courtesy of the friend) I must say that I enjoy what he's putting out there...even if it comes with a side of this. And Megan, it's me and you in The Hoodlands again on August 2nd.

Unlike Katie Holmes

I hope you got some rest over the holiday weekend.

Happy Birthday, America!

Happy Independence Day, everyone! Especially to the troops overseas who are bravely fighting for the independence of others.

Elvis Called

He wants his glasses back. And is that a popped collar I see??

Basket Case

My beach cruiser needs basket*. But which one? Traditional wicker? Sleek metal? Square or oval? Help me readers!






*Pardon the bootleg ghetto images.

Mamma Mia, Amanda

Amanda Seyfried looked smashing at the London premier of Mamma Mia. I cannot wait for this movie. I have loved ABBA since I was a little girl. My mom bought me their greatest hits on cassette, yes the love goes back pre-CD, and I wore the thing out. I took her to see the play for Christmas a few years back and we adored it. It was so fun and the music is infectious and makes you want to dance in your seat. Amanda even recorded a music video for the song Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) and you can hear it here. She has a pretty sensational voice.  

More Braid Love

Nicole Richie is still making me envious of her fantastic bohemian braids.
