Chuckie Dog Picks Out a New Toy!

Chuckie the dog got not one, but TWO new toys this week.  As he's always been a sucker for stuffed animals, rather than manly dog toys (such as kongs, etc), we decided to get him one of each and let him chose.

That little turd... see what he picked!



That my little sissy dog. He's too funny.  Happy Weekend!

Born This Way

Awesome!




Excited for Lady Gaga's new album which is said to be released in 2011!  And in other news, she has a fragrance coming out in 2012.

Live By the Words of Gaga.

Easily one of the best concerts ever.  I saw Lady Gaga at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO and had one hell of a night.  Sang and danced all night long.  Some highlights:

Fans dressed up (or down, depending how you look at it) - I wish I had worn something a bit more fun:

She played "Just Dance" within the first few songs!  Little clip for you....



If the video above doesn't show up for you, click here to view (that is not me screaming, I don't think...).

I was oh, so close to Miss Gaga:

"I love you and you love me, we love each other.

I want you to leave here tonight, loving yourself more."

Not short of bloody drama:

She has a new song, not one of the 100 songs on "The Fame".  It's about a boy from Nebraska and it's so very pretty:



Again, if the above video doesn't show up, click here to watch it.  Update: if you want to see and hear the full song of You and I - She was on the Today Show - see it here!

If you can get yourself to a Gaga concert, do it.  So much fun!  At least this little monster and the other thousands of fans did!

J.Crew's Jenna Interview with Lucky

Jenna Lyons' (J.Crew's Creative Director) Shopping Secrets!  She sits down with Lucky to answer some fun questions.  Some highlights:

- Jenna is rocking a Canadian Suit (all denim).
- Her son helps her get ready in the morning by picking out the shoes she'll wear - and then Jenna whips up an outfit on that (awww...)
-"Extreme is actually more interesting than following the middle road" - Jenna.  So true!
- She's an Online shopper! And likes to shop alone...

Goosebumps.

No matter if you are a fan of all that are included - or even know them all, no matter if you were a MJ fan, no matter if you think this collaboration is cheesy, no matter what, the message is clear.

25th Anniversary of "We Are The World":


The Original:


Peace. Love. Happy Valentine's Day.

Starting the Week off with a Smile

Back to work, end of Holiday-fun, Mondays, Tuesdays, winter frigidness. Not a whole lot to make me smile...but this sure does:



And this little Michael Jackson-esq 7-year old is my cousin. He rocks these moves!

Hope this put a smile on your face. :)

And...don't forget to enter my first ever giveaway!! A cute jacket - who could resist?!

Sex and the City 2: Trailer!

May 28th. That is all I can say!

Enjoy...



...Sometimes you just have to get away with the girls!

Now re-watch and Carrie on! ;)

Latest Ways to Wear Scarves and How-to Videos!

Oprah had Adam Glassman on her show this past Tuesday (11/2), and he demonstrated a few options for how to wear scarves and pashminas.

Click here for direction on how to wear them these three ways. (photo from Oprah.com)

But a couple of ways he didn't mention...

The first tutorial in this how-to video:

And the latest way to wear your scarf and how my co-workers and I have started styling them:

We call it "the Celebrity Braided"

After scouring the internet to find this tutorial, I came up empty-handed. I was shocked. Found tons of how-tos on the typical wears, so hope you enjoyed my own tutorial:




How do you where your scarf?
Have you seen this "Braided" way? Will you try it?

Happy Friday - All the Single Babies!

A little Friday fun for you (if you haven't seen it yet)...



How cute is this baby??

Tricks and Treats

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I want to leave you with a little idea of who I'll be spending mine with (among my hubs and his family, who are in town for a visit):

Meet Charlie and Max (and Spencer, who is a bit camera shy):



I think they're pretty funny. :) Hope you did too!

Sorry about the side view - haven't figured out how to rotate the video yet! :)

Mad Men Anticipation

It's been all the rage this summer, the much anticipated 3rd season of Mad Men premiers Sunday, August 16th at 10pm/9C. I've never heard so much about this show until recently. Where was all the hype the 1st two seasons? Do we owe this publicity to the advertising of this show (that would be ironic), or did it just take a couple seasons to build the word of mouth? Either way, it worked on me.

Last weekend, my hubs and I spent the greater part finishing season 1 and starting season 2 to get caught up before Sunday nights big premier of Season 3. I'm hooked. I love it. Beyond the show, the character's, plot, issues, etc - I love the clothes. The style. I think 50s/60s are going to make a comeback in our closets.

Check out this beautiful video filled with style you can't help but envy...



Betty Draper, the lucky - er- leading lady, Don Draper's wife sports an especially amazing collection of outfits. I love her style and look.

To simulate her look, try Banana Republic's Cotton/silk draped dress and a collar necklace with earrings set.

Also try, waist length cardigans, pearl earrings, button down shirts, A-line skirts, skinny belts, red lipstick...

Also - remember to Mad Men yourself! :)
