What was she thinking?







Rachel Zoe Stylist to the stars (don't you love when people title includes the phrase "to the stars"). A super star stylist in her own right, with a reality show to boot. I am usually right there with you. But come on you dressed all four of these women, and you RUINED each one of those gorgeous dresses with those shoes. Those big, bulky, clodhopper shoes. Those kind of shoes are for pants, or full-length dress MAYBE. They most certainly are not for mini-dresses in the middle of winter when peoples gams are not even tan. Why would you take the focus off the pretty dresses, faces, and bodies of the gorgeous women and place squarely on their large feet?

XOXO



It's back Bitches!

A little verse . . .

Finally, whatever is true,
what ever is honorable,
what ever is just,
what ever is pure,
what ever is lovely,
what ever is gracious
if there is any excellence
and if there is anything worthy of praise
think about these things.

- Philippians 4:8

I'm not well-versed enough to quote the bible.
But I came across this passage today when I was in anything but a clear state of mind.
I think it's beautiful.
And a great reminder too.

Who do you think you are?

Or better yet, who do you think your co-workers are. About 4 months ago we stopped having our mail carrier climb the 3 flights of stairs to our office to deliver and pick up the mail. So now everyday someone (usually me because no one else does) has to take our mail and physically put it in a mailbox about a block away. It's really not that big of a deal. I mean it's a block. Today however something happened that just makes me shake my head at my co-workers......Someone put their Netflix to be returned in the spot where we used to leave the mail that was being picked up. The NERVE. I am not taking peoples personal mail to the mailbox. I mean I still don't understand why the person who is in charge of invoicing, stuffing, and stamping, isn't also in charge of making sure they get mailed. But like I said earlier, it's a block and I am trying to be a team player. Also EVERYONE is well aware that there is no mail pickup anymore. People were legitimately up in arms for at least a month when the pick up stopped. Angry phone calls and e-mailes were made to the USPS. So for someone to put their personal mail up front is the equivalent of asking me to pick up their dry cleaning. I would also like to point out that I am part of the senior management at this company. Not to toot my own horn but there really are people below me that should be more worried about the mail than I am.

I'm in a panic





I go to Mexico in less than three weeks and I don't have a bathing suit that fits me. I know I know three weeks seems like a long time to get oneself a suit. But I'm freaking out because I have filled up my social calendar for the next two weeks, and I am trying to stick to working out 4 times a week, (hello in anticipation of being in a swimsuit) and because in general I like to have things done early okay. So I caved I purchased these three suits online at Victoria's Secret. I know I have talked before about my ample rump, and Vs's non-ample coverage, but like I said I am FREAKING OUT. I needed a backup just in case.

Posh, can you hear me . . . .

As my closest friends know.
I have a total celebrity crush on Posh.
Love her, love the outfits, love the fierce posing and constant heal wearing.
Not only is she a singer, a mother, married to a yummy soccer star
but she also has an incredible clothing line.
It's the dresses that make me swoon.
And lots of hollywood too.
Her dresses have been all over the red carpets lately.
Here are a few of my favs.

 
  
  
  
 
 
 

Can't imagine where I'd be going in any of these.
But in my daydreams I'm tooling around NYC on my bike in look 31.
And I look that fantastic in it - if not more.

Warm and Fuzzies . . .

 

Oh My God!
I could not love Lish's last post more.
I'm a sucker for any song and dance number that breaks out in a movie - 
but in real life!
That's bananas!

What made me happiest though is the teacher in front helping lead the choreography.
I believe it was a teacher  that More Stylish Sister, Lish and I all had.
I'm so happy right now to think that he is still at LT.
Clearly leaving the same impact on current students that he did with us - over 15 years ago.

I knew him as the cheerleading coach but also the dance teacher.
(you could choose to take a dance class as gym)
He was the best kind of teacher.
He trusted you and listened to you.
He was creative and pushed you.
He let you know when you weren't living up to your end of the bargain.

Many, many, many of my friends have new babies and or toddlers.
Husband and I also have 19 nieces and nephews.
I hope that when all these crazy kids reach high school - they find a teacher like this.
We all need them - still do.
