"I'll have Dorota Blackberry everyone an itinerary."

There are some things about Gossip Girl that I could do without: Little J, Lily's "cancer," and things I'd love more of: ERIC, crazy-cool fashion (Can someone please call Pat Fields?) Last season, the greatest show of our time, was hit or miss in story lines AND clothing choices. (Seriously, Serena's clothes need to be a size or two bigger. Give the girl some breathing room.) I'm getting really excited seeing the pics from the filming of the coming season.

Yay! Leighton is excited they're back! And she's wearing a rockin' dress as always and Serena is in a two-small onesie, as always.

So cute. Anybody know who the pieces are by? Or if it's a dress?

YES. Chuck Bass and his walking stick.

Love the blue pants and obvious fighting that's going on but WTF is going on with Serena's hair? It's like a pony-mullet!

WHO MAKES THIS DRESS? It's beautiful. PS I really hope the flip flops aren't part of the outfit. I'm sure they're not. Let's hope.

Is that Chuck?? I don't think so!

I can't wait to see the episode where Blair throws Serena in the fountain!! Amazing. Bring bitchy Blair back!

I love hats.

This is a random new-ish Leighton pic, but I love her hair so much here. She has the half blonde/half brown thing down. I have an appointment next weekend for a color/cut and I'm so bringing this picture.

The Big Bang Theory-Jim Parsons
Curb Your Enthusiasm-Larry David
Glee-Matthew Morrison
Monk-Tony Shalhoub
The Office-Steve Carell
30 Rock-Alec Baldwin

I'm always disappointed by this category. I know 30 Rock is popular but I hate Alec. He better not win. Monk is hysterical but he wins everything. I love Glee, but I'd like to see Jim Parsons take this.

Lead Actor in a Drama Series:
Breaking Bad-Bryan Cranston
Dexter-Michael C. Hall
Friday Night Lights-Kyle Chandler
House-Hugh Laurie
Lost-Matthew Fox
Mad Men-Jon Hamm

AHHHHHH!!!!!! Kyle Chandler!! So excited and so overdue.

Glee-Lea Michele
Old Christine-Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Nurse Jackie-Edie Falco

I really have no crazy opinion on these. I think they're all great but I'd like to see Julia take it. Her show got canceled!

Lead Actress in a Drama Series:
The Closer-Kyra Sedgwick
Damages-Glenn Close
Friday Night Lights-Connie Britton
The Good Wife-Julianna Margulies

I'm trying not to virtual scream in all caps again. OMG Connie Britton!!!!!!! So excited. She has to win.

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series:
Glee-Chris Colfer
How I Met Your Mother-NPH
Modern Family-Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Modern Family-Eric Stonestreet
Modern Family-Ty Burrell
Two and a Half Men-Jon Cryer

Seriously, could this be a bigger category?? Wow. How do you chose from this amazing group? (well, except Jon Cryer) I adore Chris Colfer but who makes me laugh more than Ty Burrell? It has to be him or Eric Stonestreet.

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series:
Breaking Bad-Aaron Paul
Damages-Martin Short
Lost-Terry O'Quinn
Lost-Michael Emerson
Mad Men-John Slattery
Men of a Certain Age-Andre Braugher

I don't even want to talk about this category. SO lame that none of the crazy talented boys from Friday Night Lights got noticed.

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series:
Glee-Jane Lynch
Modern Family-Julie Bowen
Modern Family- Sofia Vergara
SNL-Kristen Wiig
30 Rock-Jane Krakowski
Two and a Half Men-Holland Taylor

This is though too. Jane Lynch is awesome. But both Modern Fam girls make me laugh until I'm crying.

Supporting Actress in a Drama Series:
Burn Notice-Sharon Gless
Damages-Rose Byrne
The Good Wife-Archie Panjabi
The Good Wife-Christine Baranski
Mad Men-Christina Hendricks
Mad Men-Elisabeth Moss

Who do you like? I think I have to go with Elisabeth Moss.

Guest Actor in a Comedy Series:
Glee-Mike O'Malley
Glee-Neil Patrick Harris
Modern Family-Fred Willard
Nurse Jackie-Eli Wallach

Mike O'Malley should take this for sure. He was so believable as Kurt's dad and he made me cry more than once! That speech to Finn? Wonderful.

Guest Actor in a Drama Series:
The Closer-Beau Bridges

The Big Bang Theory- Christine Baranski
Desperate Housewives-Kathryn Joosten
Glee-Kristin Chenoweth

Big Love-Mary Kay Place
Big Love-Sissy Spacek
The Cleaner-Shirley Jones
Damages-Lily Tomlin

I have only seen Damages in this category! I guess I missed a lot in the drama department.

Blogs I Heart: "Up's?!?"


This blog is my new favorite! One of the best things about picking out a nail color is the name. I know it's cheesy, but OPI's Metro Chic and Essie's Turquoise & Caicos make me really happy. Stupid Nail Polish Names is just as awesome. I can't wait to find a terrible name and send it in to be featured on the blog! Hysterical.

As Seen on TV


I know a lot of blogs made fun of the Cami Secret but I want it so bad. The You Tube video IS pretty ridiculous but it's sort of like they are speaking to me. Last weekend, I wanted to wear my new maxi dress and it was just a tad too low cut. I literally did everything they do in this stupid video-safety pins and all. I finally settled on another layer in this sweltering heat with my normal cami. This little square of fabric is genius! Has anyone tried it? Do you think it'll work or just look completely ridiculous?

Eclipse LA Premiere!!!

After reading the books, and seeing both of the terrible, while still being amazing, movies and being surrounded by all the hoopla and craziness, I STILL am screaming like a 14 year old over Eclipse. I can't wait for Tuesday! The premiere is in LA tonight and I couldn't wait to see what the group would be wearing. Here are a few and run over to Just Jared or E Online for more updates! (E is live streaming!)

Ashley Greene, left, in Alexis Mabille Couture with Nikki Reed in Marchesa
Maybe I'm in a mood, but I kind of hate them both (the dresses not the girls.) I'm all for shapeless dresses, I don't think it needs to be tight to be sexy, but the color of Ashley's really makes it look like a sheet. Nikki looks pretty enough but I feel like I've seen it before. YAWN.

I don't know who Taylor Lautner is wearing but it looks amazing on him. He's such a classic movie star and dresses like it. Team Jacob!

As much as I love the classic Taylor, Robert Pattinson's Gucci suit is making me SWOON. Love the fit and color. Hating the hair though. Nineties 90210, much?

On a positive note, I'm liking Kristen Stewart more and more. I'm not feeling the same way about her Ellie Saab dress. It's not that it's really strange, it just doesn't seem HER at all. It looks like someone made her wear it and it's hurting her soul every minute.

Anna Lynne McCord and Kellen Lutz are a really pretty couple. And they seem cute, all outdoors-y and stuff. I hope his horrible dye job is for a role, but he wins major points for the beautiful suit. I like Anna Lynne's nude dress and the bronze make-up. It suits her California girl look.

What do you think? Do you like the dresses?

I Can't Get You Out of My Head

When I need, OK want, something I get a little crazy about it. I look everywhere until I find as close to what's in my mind as possible. (When I'm buying presents for people, I get EXTRA crazy.) Of course, I'm usually disappointed because what's in my head I can't ever find (or it's majorly out of my price range.) But once in a while, I see something and I'm like YES EXACTLY. Like these new Rachel Comey backpacks. They are still WAY too much $$ for me but I'll have it for, like, ever right? There are more but these are my favs!

A Girl Can Dream

I always hear people say, "I would NEVER spend X amount of money on that!" Umm, I would. If I had the money that is. I would like these $605 leggings, these $220 Cargos, this $195 dress, and these $495 ballet flats. Am I a bad person? I want to buy them with my own money not someone else's. I don't even have a credit card. I don't have any money now but if I did, I'd pick up a few things. I was thinking about it because I heard a few girls at Target look at the price tag of a pair of shorts and say in horror, "27.99!! Eew. Aren't we in Target?" I don't think I've ever said that in my life. Ideally, I'd wear my $10 Topshop dress with the Stella flats. There's nothing less chic then head to toe designer. I love mixing high and low.

What do you guys spend money on? And what would you NEVER splurge on?

The Softest Hairspray Ever


I'm not really a beauty girl. I wear the same makeup to work, a bar, a party, etc. I still don't know how to put on eyeliner. My frizzy hair usually looks a little...crazy (thanks, Carolyn!) There is one product I can't live without. It would be included on that whole things-you'd-bring-on-a-deserted-island list. L'OREAL Elnett Hairspray is ah.ma.zing. I never used hairspray for fear of the stickiness and Jersey Shore look. I can spray this all over my head and it sets my hair and tames my frizz and somehow makes it shiny also. Later, if I want to change my look, it literally brushes right out. I don't know how they do it, but my hair actually feels softer. It's a little pricey but worth it. (Target is the cheapest I've seen at $14.99.) At first I had trouble finding it as it slowly made its way here from across the pond, but now I think even Duane Reade has it. Let me know if you love it as much as I do!

Why Pay Retail?

I'm totally obsessed with Rent the Runway. If you don't know what it is, it's a website where you can rent an outfit for 4 days. We try so hard to find the right dress to wear to an event, spend $$$$$, and never wear it again (or force ourselves to wear it once more.) With RTR you can pick something special and they will deliver it to you-same day if you're in NYC! The most awesome part? They send you ANOTHER size with it just in case! They are great at explaining the fit of things ("narrow in the hips so go a size up if you're curvy") and you can even shop by occasion and body type. There's also an "Ask a Stylist" feature. After you sign up, they send you an invite a little while later so sign up soon so you'll be ready for your next big night! Now I just need someone to invite me somewhere...


This Tracey Reese jumpsuit would look amazing with serious heels and jewelry for an easy day to night transition.
Rent: $50 Retails for: $250

I don't know how great this Tibi dress is for my body type but it's beautiful.
Rent: $50 Retails for: $378

The back of this beaded Haute Hippie dress is the showstopper.
Rent: $100 Retails for: $695



A perfect summer wedding dress from Catherine Malandrino.
Rent: $75 Retails for: $495


There are also lots of accessories to compliment the clothes but I'm not a big jewelry girl and tend to throw on whatever is around. What do you guys think? Would you rent a dress?
