Hey Upper East Siders, this just in. S may very well have her own doppelganger. Seems a certain Aussie actress looks awfully similar to our sweet Serena especially when they strike this “over the shoulder” pose in slinky LBD’s. With the same golden locks, perfectly peachy skin, and ould Teresa Palmer be voted next year’s sexiest woman alive? You be the judge.

Let’s first talk about how obnoxious it was that the West Coast had a delayed viewing of the Grammy’s. I already knew who wore what and who won what before seeing a second of footage. So basically, I watched the Grammy’s twice. This theme carried throughout the entire evening. Seemed that everything was coming in pairs- aka- twice the pain.
The “buzz” for the evening was Lady Gaga arriving to the awards in an egg. Yep, an egg. Apparently, she was “incubating.” I mean… I can’t. I give people credit for being different, but sometimes trying too hard to be “different” merely makes you the same as everyone else. I don’t want to point out the obvious, but that performance by Gaga was pretty reminiscent of a very “materialistic” pop icon who was once known for being “innovative” herself. So, now I turn to you Nicki Minaj. What are you trying to pull? Why must you try so hard to shock us with these crazy get ups? If you’re going to attempt to catch our attention, you’re gonna have to work a wee bit harder when you’ve got Lady Gaga walking the same red carpet as you.
A group of incredibly talented and lovely ladies paid tribute to the amazingly talented Aretha Franklin. While they did a fantastic job rounding up gals with some serious pipes, you can’t help but notice that Christina Aguilera blew them all out of the water. It’s a good thing that Ms. Aguilera is talented because the way she’s been looking lately is just frightening. I can’t help but think she looks a lot like a certain pork filled childhood pal…
Okay, so Snooki will never actually look like JLo. However, Jenny from the Block may want to make sure her stylist isn’t moonlighting as Snooki’s stylist, which is very possible because Snookster looks a lot better than her usual hamster self.
Besties Katy Perry (in Armani) and Rihanna (in Jean Paul Gaultier) opted for white. Both also opted to look like they were wearing costumes. Katy is clearly an angel (see the wings?) and RiRi is most obviously a furry white caterpillar, duh. Guuuuys… this is the GRAMMY’s, not Halloween!
So basically, Natasha Bedingfield is wearing Ciara’s dress pre-run-in with weed wacker.
One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just isn’t the same… Give up? Well, everyone here has a talent EXCEPT one. Still stuck?
Oh… well, that’s just awkward.
So, while, I did tune into the Grammy’s this evening, I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t. Lucky for me, I DVR’ed it. So, in reality, I could watch it a third time.

If I were to go around my office today and photograph all of the women and what they are wearing today, you would see that about 98% of them are wearing some form of “rain boots.” (The other 2% don’t watch New York 1). It took me two years of living in New York before I purchased a pair of Hunter wellies. Clearly, I enjoyed destroying my shoes and having nasty city water soaking into my socks. Now, keep in mind, I work in a very “stylish” fashion office, so these aren’t crunchy granola girls whose typical dry weather shoes would be Uggs.
Other than just keeping your feet dry and not ruining your shoes, rainboots also have a way of making your legs look thinner (they are bulky- therefore balancing out the thigh). Added bonus, these suckers are pretty heavy and they give your legs a real workout when worn all day. Still not convinced? Here are some cute styles that may make you reconsider:
Hunter Wellington Rain Boot, $155
Burberry Check Rain Boot, $195
J. Crew Printed Critter Wellies, $49.50
Zulimas Bias Plaid Rain Boots, $24.99
P.S. Rainboots are to be worn over your pants. Tuck your pant legs in. That is the whole point. I saw a women with her rainboots under her dress pants this morning. Clearly missing the entire point of rain boots. Good luck with your soggy hems, lady!
