Happy Blogiversary To YBB!



Oh my goodness! I cannot believe it has been 2 YEARS since my first post! A lot has happened since I started this blog and I am just so happy to have a place where I can put down my thoughts, inspirations and feelings. I also feel so happy that through this blog and all of your blogs out there, I have formed some new friendships. (Yes, we may have never met, but I am sure if we did we would be great friends) I am flattered to have 130 followers (thank you!) and hope that my posts in the future continue to bring you back to read some more!


I was planning to have a giveaway ready for this 2 year celebration, but alas...it snuck up on me and I don't have everything just yet (stay tuned).....


Thank you again for reading and commenting on YBB, and also writing your own blogs! I love starting (sometimes even ending) my day with all of you and hope that I bring a smile to your face now and then!


Cheers to all of you!

Elie Saab Spring 2010 RTW Collection

I will admit I am a little late in enjoying all the designs from Fashion Week, but just had to share the gorgeousness that is Elie Saab. You have seen his magnificent designs on the likes of Beyonce, Angelina, and January Jones (some of my favorite looks) and it is almost always guaranteed that his creations will be featured in the best dressed list.

His Spring 2010 RTW did not disappoint and I anticipate a few of these gowns will be rocking the award shows come January.

I am picturing this look for a award nomination brunch.


This outfit was made for Charlize Theron in my mind...perhaps she can present a Grammy?


This one is for Hayden Panettiere and the Golden Globes. I like to keep her in short and sexy dresses as whenever she wears those long gowns, she looks instantly old in my opinion.

This hot number I would select for Jennifer Aniston. Perhaps to her next movie premiere?



This red gown is such a show stopper that the woman wearing it needs to "own" it tough. I am thinking Hilary Swank? Her long and lean body would definitely be able to carry the draping of this fabric and the bold red!

I DIE for this gown! I am thinking that Anne Hathaway or Kate Hudson would just kill it on the red carpet with this number. Fabulously chic, sparkly and a little edgy. H-O-T!


What have been your favorite collections? Do you have a better celeb that you think one of these dresses would fit better? Let me know! More collections to come (as I let my inner Rachel Zoe out)!

Whip It...Whip It Good!

No I'm not talking about that rocking Devo song.....I'm talking about Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It.


I saw Whip It this past Sunday with my mom and two girlfriends and just loved it. Funny, heartwarming and totally entertaining!

I know I am most definitely not tough enough, but after watching this movie, I still had the urge to get out on the rink and compete.

All of the characters were entertaining and likable....even the bitchy villain Juliette Lewis.

Drew Barrymore should definitely feel proud of this flick. Ellen Page was a great choice to cast for the main character and the film had a really good message about going out for what makes you happy and never settling. A good motto to live your life by.

My favorite part of the movie however, was the roller derby coach, Razor.

From the moment he spoke his first line, I knew this was the often hidden (behind the scenes) 3rd Wilson brother, Andrew.

The eldest and quite handsome in that rugged, mountain man kind of way. His character was lovable, and supportive and had me giggling every time he was on screen.


He has looks similar to Luke and the voice of Owen. I just adore those Wilson Brothers! Here's hoping he continues to step away from behind the scenes and gets back in front of the camera.

Bottom line...if you are looking for a great feel good movie, go see Whip It!

Happy Halloween From Waldo!

Song Of The Week: Best for Last



If you do not already own this CD, then I must beg you to purchase it immediately! Adele has become one of my favorite musicians of all times since I was introduced to her a little over a year ago. I first heard her in my Bar Method class, with a remake of the Garth Brooks song, "To Make You Feel My Love" and then followed up with "Chasing Pavements" and since seeing her live at The Hollywood Bowl, I have added "Best For Last" to many of my playlists. The song is raw, her voice is incredible and the lyrics are pretty darn good as well.
