The List Volume LXXIV

By |May 18th, 2012|The List|

life is hardIn all seriousness, it probably would have been easier to just write the list in its original form (all bad, all the time).  But I’ve made an effort to take a look on the bright side, so I managed to scrounge up equal parts happy as well as heinous.

  1. Men in sweatpants in public.  I don’t want to get too graphic here, but uh… it’s like the equivalent of a girl with no bra.  Catch what I’m saying?man in sweat pants
  2. Receiving emails like this.  When will men learn that this has the opposite of intended effect?name drop email
  3. “Fashion” segments on the Today show and the likes.  No wonder most of America look like assholes.
  4. Everyone who thinks he/she is going to get rich like a Zuckerberg by buying Facebook stock.  Please stop.
  5. Herve dress with Louis Vuitton bag and Louboutin heels.  Don’t be so obvious.  (J. Love Hewitt… ahem).

  1. Um… this guy. puppy in glasses
  2. Taking my grandma ice cream cones cause she’s decided that’s all she’s going to eat.
  3. Uh… Pittsburgh Dad.
  4. My new camera!  No more blurry photos! canon t3i rebel
  5. Berries for breakfast. berries and granola

Beauty Buzz: Birds of a Feather

By |June 30th, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

Alright… this has been going on for a while now.  I tried to overlook it hoping it was just a fluke and it would go away if I didn’t acknowledge it.  You know- kind of like when you’re a little kid and you think “If I can’t see you, you can’t see meeee!”  Well, unfortunately, that just didn’t happen.  It seems that the feather hair extension is here to stay… at least for the summer.

I’m not really sure who can be credited with starting this fowl (get it? fowl?) trend.  Was it Ke$ha? Was it Steven Tyler?  Does it really matter?  Here’s a rule of thumb: If Steven Tyler is doing it, you probably shouldn’t be.  Pirate braids are one thing, but feather extensions is where I draw the line, dammit!  However, if you’re going to jump off the bridge (I mean, all your friends are) below is a snazzy little hair accoutrement:

Sultra Feather Hair Accent, $25

Or perhaps you’d rather go the homemade route (because are you really going to spend 25 bucks on a feather?).  Try this awesome DIY feather extension.

So whattya think? Will you be sporting the feather extension this summer?

Would You Wednesday: Give Me a Ring

By |January 26th, 2011|Why Did or Why Don't?|

It’s no secret that Jennifer Love Hewitt is A) a little bit loopy and B) hasn’t had the best luck in the dating department.  So, it comes as no surprise that she created quite a bit of buzz in a recent interview.  When she appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show, she revealed that she’s got three different rings at Tiffany’s all picked out for her future betrothed.

Now, in reality, most young ladies all have a certain ring in mind when they think about the “big question” being popped.  So, there is certainly a chance that we may have left subtle hints lying around or have pointed out a ring we like on someone else’s finger.  Some of us may have even delegated a close friend (with good taste) as the “go to” gal if your beau should have any questions or need guidance.  I think all of that is normal.

However, the way Ms. Hewitt approached the topic was totally tacky and what sparked all the buzz.  Picking her rings from Tiffany’s was her first rookie mistake in my humble opinion.  I mean, could you be any more predictable and dull?  Probs not.  The real issue lies within her comments about not wanting to be “disappointed” with her ring.  Did we not already cover this? Yo, Jen Love?   Perhaps if you spent more time picking out a stellar stud, you could spend less time worrying about a gemological dud.

So, is it wrong to make a finger bling wish list? Or is it just plain tacky?

well, good luck, JLove.

Monday Mashup: Red Carpet Repeat

By |January 17th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, before I announce who I found fantastic and who made me cry “foul!”, I decided to recap the rest of the red carpet from the Golden Globes.  Um… I can’t help but notice… there were a lot of duplications in the wardrobe department.  Whoops! Perhaps the stylists in Hollywood need to communicate more.  Having a twin on the red carpet might be every starlet’s worst nightmare, but seeing double gives us much more to compare come Monday.  While I have my own opinions on who rocked the look best, I’m going to go ahead and let you- my usually fashionably elite- readers decide. Now, behold the beauties that were the Golden Globes:

A Case of the Ex:

Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham vs. Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab

Moody Nudes:

Carrie Underwood in Badgley Mischka vs. Dianna Agron in J. Mendel

Pretty in Pink:

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta vs. Megan Fox in Armani Prive

Is White Right?

Jennifer Love Hewitt in Romona Keveza vs. Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad

Mean Green:

Angelina Jolie in Versace vs. Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Well Red:

January Jones in Versace vs. Sofia Vegara in Vera Wang

It’s a Sherbert:

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection vs. Claire Danes also in Calvin Klein Collection

Blue for You:

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier vs. Jenna Ushkowitz in Rebecca Taylor vs. Amy Adams in Marchesa
