have a good weekend

May 24, 2013

I’m taking a last minute trip to see a friend, and we’re going to Simon Pearce in Quechee, VT  (which you may recognize as the glass business in Sweet Home Alabama).

On a serious note– I’m wishing everyone the best- a very safe and happy holiday weekend.  It’s been a tough year for me- I still think about and miss Cooper every day, and then there have been a ton of other stressors. It’s finally turning around.  I’m hoping everyone out there who has been going through a rough patch is finding the light at the end of the tunnel too.

My foster pug Bert (with his Ernie doll) says hi too!  Bert & Ernie!!!

met gala 2013

May 21, 2013

The theme for this year’s Met Gala was punk.  Here are the best, the worst, and the “this is not even remotely punk”.

The Best, Best of the night was model Cara Delevigne.  Punk, and she looked gorge!

Paloma Faith, of course looked perfect for the night.

Jaime King- I just like the hair.

Gwen Stefani, who is always dressed perfectly.

I  love J. Lo and this dress is cool.  Her hair gets the award for the most perfect faux-hawke of the night.

Oh God, how I hate Miley, but this was perfect.  I would have done the hair straight up, but otherwise, she nailed it.  That dress is stunning.

Diane Kruger- not totally punk, but she’s so edgy and good, this is perfect.

Not punk, but at least black. Blake Lively and Carolyn Murphy… I love these two, and the dresses are great.  You have to really look at the detail on Blake’s dress- it’s good.

Anne Hathaway- I liked, I really did.

Look, it’s January Jones two days in a row.  She’s crazy, but I liked this.

I hate Taylor Swift too, but I actually thought this was a really good look (except for the hair- it could have been edgier, or at least less Junior Prom looking).

I am officially the only one in the entire world that actually liked Kim K’s look.  I think it’s really kind of cool.

The worst…

My award for absolute worst is a guy.  David Lauren- you can’t wear western-wear to a punk event. You can’t wear a half-tux, half-western wear outfit anywhere!  If you don’t go on theme, at least wear a phenomenal tux. This made me puke.

I can’t even start to talk about Madonna’s look.  There comes a point when all you see are the fillers and the Botox and you can’t even see anything else.  I can’t look at her anymore, and I think it’s REALLY strange she wears gloves all the time now- even in summer.

Beyonce- hated everything about it from the neck down (or actually cleavage down).  Way too Destiny’s Child-ish.

MK&A… not punk, and not even pretty.

And all these girls, while they may look pretty, these weren’t the right looks for the Met Gala.  Too safe, too boring, too preppy for punk night.  And I loved Gwyneth’s dress, just not for this event.

Zoey Deschanel- this is a seersucker dress.  I would personally wear this dress every day of my life, even on Christmas, but not to this event. (BTW, did I mention that I love the dress- it’s seersucker!!)

style icon:: betty draper

May 20, 2013

I’ve been on a Mad Men marathon, and realized how much I loved Betty Draper’s early style: scarves, coats, and riding gear.  I wish we all still dressed this perfectly.

… And her impeccable ability to pull off the combination of a nightgown, shotgun, and cigarette.
