Celebrity Inspiration: Selena Gomez

Although i'm not that excited about Selena's outfit choices i adore her booties!!!!  Sam Edelman "Renzo" bootie would be my MUST HAVE item this fall. It's fierce, sexy and very edgy, and thanks to Selena we know it goes with dresses and jeans.

Are you kidding me??

It's bad enough people are so insecure they need surgery to feel better about themselves but to make our four legged friends suffer for our vanity is just cruel.  Apparently "pet modification" surgeries are common especially among show dogs.  Hopefully this video detailing the difficulties which arise post surgery will help you understand and take a stand against "pet modification" surgeries in your state.  I hope it is banned in all 50 states!!! #notcool

Guilty Pleasures

I'm ashamed to admit it but The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the equivalent of reality TV crack.  Everything about the cast irritates me, they are not classy, not smart, not wealthy (but pretend to be) but MAANN they are good TV.  Especially Nene, i hate her outbursts and "camera balls" and her ability to flip any situation and make it about her, yet i tune in every Sunday and wait to see what outrageous shenanigans she's going to be in.

Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak - if you ever read this..i'd love to meet the psychic you went to see in the previous season, the one who said you will have a boy in a few years.  I'm skeptical but she was right on the money!

Favorite Things: Fair Isle

The holiday season is upon us...(yes i know Thanksgiving is still ahead) but my absolute favorite thing about winter aside from fluffy snow and snow tubing is our shameless abuse of snowman sweaters, reindeer sweaters, sparkly snowflake earrings and countless of other tacky items people insist on wearing.  Here are my favorite Fair Isle items for this season:
