Song Of The Week: Whataya Want From Me

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

I remember last season of American Idol so vividly...I remember looking forward to Mr. Adam Lambert's performances every week. He was fresh and exciting to watch but had to vocals and talent to back it up. Plus he is really, really pretty. I rooted and voted for him to be announced the next American Idol, but alas that was not his fate.

Apparently not winning AI isn't such a bad thing, as his latest single "Whataya Want From Me" is getting plenty of airtime. The first time I heard this song I had no idea who sang it, just that I really liked it. Then towards the end, I had a suspicion it was Mr. Lambert with his signature screaming (meant in a good way). And now, I cannot get enough of the song. SOOOO GOOD!

Did you vote for Kris Allen or Adam Lambert? How are you feeling about the latest season of American Idol? Any favorites?

Forever Frugal Friday - Spring Basics

This weekend is supposed to get into the 80's here in LA and I couldn't be happier. However, I was browsing my wardrobe and noticed I need to start stocking up on some Spring basics. Here are the three items I am hoping to pick up this weekend.

This Braided Trim Knit Dress is a perfect swimsuit cover up or running errands around town. Throw a cardigan over it, some leggings and flats and you can easily stay warm once the sun goes down.

This Sleeveless Drawstring Top is a fantastic piece to add to wear with any denim bottom. It's a little fancier than a T-Shirt but still casual enough for that dive bar or bonfire party.

I love navy and green together and this Striped Slub Knit Top reminds me of that darling Splendid tank I have been wanting but at a much friendly price. I would pretty much wear this with any and everything!

What spring basic can you not live without?

She's Just Being Miley...

Love her or hate her, she looked RADIANT at the premiere of Last Song yesterday.

Her makeup was absolutely flawless and it's a look I am hoping to recreate this weekend. I love the dramatic liquid liner, and the intense eyes with the pretty subtle pink glossy lips.

I loved her entire look from her hair to the leather one shoulder dress. Do you also notice she is sporting the new trend of hunter green nail polish? I have been hesitant to try the color on my nails, but am loving it on her last night and rethinking my stance. Last night Miley proved that she is no longer a girl but not yet a woman either (thank you Britney).

And can we just talk about her Über hot Australian boyfriend whom she met on the set of the film? I think they are darling together! Oh young love!

Song Of The Week: Us

Regina Spektor - US
Uploaded by reginaspektor. - See the latest featured music videos.

Can I just mention how much I am loving spring already? I can't help but be in a good mood with all the sights and smells. I know I am way behind, but I finally saw "(500) Days of Summer" a few weeks back and I just loved it. I loved that the movie warned you it wasn't a love story, but yet I still fell in love with it, and also the soundtrack!

I loved "Fidelty" by Regina Spektor and "Us" has found a special place in my heart as well. The song is happy, romantic, upbeat and just lovely and makes me smile no mater what. This song has me wanting to run through a field holding hands with a special someone and giggling the entire time. Corny - yes, but I can't help it, that's what I wanna do :)

Forever Frugal Friday

Can I just mention how excited I am that Spring arrives tomorrow? I am loving that daylight savings is in effect, walking Waldo at night is even more enjoyable now! As I walk I take in all the sights and smells, including the little baby ducklings and the first smells of BBQ in the evening. It is all just so dreamy and perfect...kind of like this Blissful Woven Top from Forever.

It is just what I need to ease into spring. Although I would love to head right into tank tops and sundresses, once the sun goes down, the evening are a little on the chillier side.

I would love to add this top to my wardrobe and pair it with these cute 'Sammy' Roll Hem Stretch Denim shorts from Joe's Jeans.



And to add a little glitz but comfort at the same time, I would sport my fun Gold Glitter TOMS that I received this year as a birthday present (and you know that TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a child in need every time you purchase a pair).

Spring-a-ling-a-ling is here! Woo-hoo!
