Why Did You Wear That: Full House

 They say what goes around comes around… and they weren’t lying.  I’m about to date myself here by saying that I really enjoy watching re-runs of Full House.  It brings me back to a happy place.  I’m really about to date myself (and sound like a fuddy duddy) by saying, they don’t make TV shows like they used to.

While watching an episode of Full House one lazy mid morning… it was the one where Stephanie goes to junior high and doesn’t really fit but tries to make friends by smoking… I looked at her friend Mickey and thought, “Wow, I like what she’s wearing.”  Sure, sure, it seems strange to want to wear the same thing as a girl in junior high during the 90’s, but 1. they say the cycle or recycled trends is about 20 years, and 2. Mickey is probably around my age by now, no?

Yeah, that’s right.  It’s just about time the 90’s are come back into fashion.  Um, Doc Martens and flannel shirts anyone?  Hey, it’s better than the 80’s.

1.  Cabela’s Portugese Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt, $24.99, 2. Free People 5 Pocket Denim Cut Offs, $68, 3. Junk Food T Rex Hot Love Baseball Raglan Tee, $43.99, 4. Michelle Roy Chain Friendship Bracelet, $62, 5. Dr. Martens 1460 in Black/Greasy, $110, 6. Foot Traffic Cable Knit Over the Knee Socks, $9

How rude.

You may be thinking to yourself, “What the heck is going on with the internet today?  It’s different.  It’s weird.”  Well, there’s good reason for that.  Many websites are going “black” in protest of SOPA.  WTF is SOPA, you ask?

Setting the Mood: Make a Wish

Something about birthdays makes me giddy.  Maybe it’s having a very special day to myself (and anyone else who shares it with me), or maybe it’s just the anticipation of what surprises the day might bring.  Whatever it is, I like it.  As we get older though, the celebrations change little by little as do our priorities.  When I once wished for a pony, I now wish for pony hair pumps… well, I’d still take a pony to be perfectly  honest.  Cupcakes, balloons, candles, and presents.  What’s not to like about celebrating another year of life?

Why Did You Eat That: Cheers to Kirs!

Now that we are through cheersing all the celebs, it’s time to celebrate someone else.  Someone you might know.  Someone like… ME!  It is officially my “birthday week” and I’m ready to put on my party shoes only to kick them right back off.  Other than a killer outfit and some fun friends to celebrate with, a girl has got to have a signature cocktail.  Luckily for me, I have one made… just for me.

Alright, alright… so maybe this cocktail wasn’t made “especially” for me, but I like to pretend that it was.  This pretty pink drink has several variations- each one delicious, bubbly, and sweet (like me).  Below are the recipes for a classic kir, kir royale, and kir imperial.  Enjoy and celebrate with me!

Cheers (to me).

Monday Mashup: Give Me Some Lip

Natalie Portman in custom Lanvin, Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

Okay, let me just start off by saying that both Natalie and Angelina are two of the most beautiful women on the planet (let alone the red carpet), so this is, by no means, a personal attack or me “being a hater.” That said, I really disliked both of their gowns at last night’s Golden Globe Awards. While they both wore different colors, and slightly different necklines, they both had a little lip of red on their gowns. To me, these both look like bad Valentine’s Day cards, or perhaps boxes of cheap drugstore chocolates. Natalie is beyond petite and this dress is just too much for her tiny frame. I also love the mixing of pink and red (as shown here), but in this instance, it just does not work.

Speaking of tiny, Angelina has never looked more thin (not a compliment). I do not care for the matchy matchy or her “lip,” lips, bag, (and I assume shoes). To me, this dress does not look modern at all. It reminds me of something Aunt Gertrude once wore to a country club social. I applaud her for stepping out of her comfort zone, but hope that she does not get too comfortable in this zone either.

While my opinion is probably not popular with some of you (weird)… I hope at least a few of you are in agreement. So, I’m wondering, whose “lip” do you love?

Kiss off.
