Forever Frugal Friday

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of jean shorts for the spring and summer months ahead.  All I want is a pair of shorts that are not coochie cutters (sorry for being crass but honestly), a little on the baggy side, a darker denim color and a little destroyed.  Well I found a few options but they were all in $80-$200 range and I don't really foresee myself wearing them that often to drop some dough like that. 

What I do see myself doing is heading into Forever and trying on these Destroyed Denim Shorts and crossing my fingers that I can find stop searching for denim shorts.  I am really looking forward to wearing them with my sparkly TOMS, a baggy long tank, sunglasses and a fedora.  YAY Summer!

Prints Gone Wild

Yikes...I just checked out the photos from Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood Style Issue Event and I gotta say there wasn't much "hotness" to be found. More "hot messes" if you ask me.

Aubrey O'Day was the worst by far.  This number is wrong on so many different levels.  The color, the print, the fit, the belt?  Whoa.

Anna Kendrick looked frumpy and dumpy is this number. 

Sheryl Crow looked matronly and weird in this dress and shoe combo.

I normally think Ciara is drop dead gorgeous and I do love me some yellow but this dress is just too much all at once. 

It is kind of a sad day when I say the best dressed and best makeup for the event belonged to Stephanie Pratt who looked absolutely gorgeous in her navy dress and her makeup is one I would love to replicate.

Love the shoes, bag, and cut of the dress on her.

Her makeup is perfectly sun kissed and her hair gorgeous.  Makes me want to run out and find a new bronzer that achieves this golden glow. 

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Eco-Friendly Goods

Happy Earth Day Everyone!  Below are some Eco-Friendly goodies I would like to own!

My girl Mrs. F owns these gorgeous Amelia earrings.  These earrings go with everything and she is always getting compliments whenever she wears them.  The are actual leaves dipped in gold.  Earthy and glitzy all at the same time.  Gotta love that!

This vivid magenta of this gorgeous Barbara necklace is just begging to be worn with a simple white tank, blazer and jeans.

Without even realizing it this morning, I threw on my organic Hanky Pankies I bought last year.  Well this years style is a little different but I am still wanting to add them to my collection.  The Hanky Panky Color Play Low Rise T-Shirt Thong would be a great way to incorporate Eco-Friendly into your everyday life :)

I always reuse my shopping bags from JCrew, Bloomies or wherever I have them from to bring my lunch into work.  I tend to get another week or two use out of the bag and then inevitably have to recycle it.  I think it is time for me to invest in a BYOB Built Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote, French Bull Vine Pattern bag.  Totally cute, washable and reusable.  Perfect for toting your lunch or picnic food around town.

So I seem to be a little obsessed with this fuchsia, magenta color and spied this darling Matt & Nat Tadeo Wallet. It's a little bit edgy, totally fun and amazingly Eco-Friendly. 

Last but not least are these sexy and sassy Alkemie Long Snake Earrings.

However you choose to spend your Earth Day be sure to find at least one thing to reduce your carbon footprint today.  Happy Earth Day!

Thoughtful Thursday

I spaced yesterday and didn't post my Word Up Wednesday as planned.  However, I am feeling like everything happens for a reason and I need a little inspiration today instead.  Hope these lift you as they did me!

TreSemme Freshstart Dry Shampoo

You know what I hate...

When you think you have found a new product that will replace its predecessor, that is not only cheaper, but also just as good, only to find out it's not even close.

Well sadly TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo was a big FAIL in my book. This product went on wet and needed time to dry (strike 1), in the areas I used it my hair was white and dull as well (strike 2), the smell is gross (strike 3) and by the middle of the day my bangs still looked greasy (strike 4 - wait a minute).

(Remember this sketch on In Living Color - loved it!)

So, it's back to Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo 5 Oz. for me until I find the next great dry shampoo. Better luck next time!

Song Of The Week: Float On

A month of covers continues! This weeks selection is Ben Lee's Float On, originally done by Modest Mouse on their Good News For People Who Love Bad News [Explicit] album.

I remember the first time I heard the Modest Mouse version I loved it. The lyrics were awesome and it was just one of those songs that you could smile and sing-along to. Lively and happy, with a message that no matter how bad things seem you can just "Float On" and everything will be okay. Great anthem if you ask me. My favorite verse...

"Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.

Good news will work its way to all them plans."

The Ben Lee version is soft, and reminds me a bit of a lullaby. I adore the simplicity of it, and love walking Waldo and taking it all in.

So go ahead and "Float On" this lovely Monday morning.

Happy Birthday Jamie!!

A very happy birthday (yesterday) to Miss Jamie Of All Trades. Welcome to Club 30 my love! Cheers to a promising year and lots of celebrating!

Love you!
