fashion forward friday

90210's very own Shenae Grimes has decided to document her daily outfits on her blog. Personally, I've never really taken to her or her sense of fashion...but that may be because I haven't paid much attention. After reading the news, I decided to check out her blog and some of her outfit choices. Do you love it?

 

a thin line between love and hate?

I was doing my daily celebrity gossip update on US Magazine and I came across this article that quickly got my attention. 


Julie Bowen: I "Love and Hate" My Kids

I can't believe she just said that word in the same sentence with kids. I've always believed that hate was such a strong word and even when I felt so unbelievably angry towards someone, it was always easier to just say a few curse words instead. Believe me, I'm not perfect. I have said it in the heat of the moment at times and I've always regretted it afterwards. There are so many things that I could say I hate and wouldn't feel bad about it...


I hate rainy days.
I hate when the toilet seat is up.
I hate the taste of bitter melon.
I hate visits with the dentist.
I hate visits with the gynecologist.
I hate having to go to the DMV.
I hate when they don't have my size in a pair of shoes I've been dying to have!


Simple, petty things like that. But to say I hate someone, let alone my kids? I couldn't even imagine it. Parenting is never easy and it sure as hell isn't perfect. My son drives me crazy at times, but I don't think there's any excuse to use that word and associate it with kids. 


They say there is a thin line between love and hate, but with kids I don't think that falls true at all. 


I wonder what Julie Bowen's kids feel about her saying that. If she were my mom, I'd be so hurt.

I have this fantasy dream of having a career in the fashion industry. I think I'm drawn in by the glitz, the glamour...and hello, the clothes! Although, we all know it's not all pretty behind the scenes. It's a tough industry to work in. Thick skin required. 

New York Fashion Week has always fascinated me to say the least. A whole week full of designers and celebrities, coming together for one purpose - fashion. This event is on my wish list of things I would love to do. It probably won't ever happen, but in the mean time I'll just gawk at the pictures {and the clothes}.

gotta love fashion

Gwen Stefani is one of my favorite fashion icons. She already has two fashion lines out called L.A.M.B and Harajuku Lovers, which both consist of women's clothing, accessories, and perfume. Her creative sense of style has always been amazing to me. Not to mention, her handsome little boys are always dressed just as fashionably as her and are known as some of the best-dressed celebrity kids in Hollywood.

You can imagine how excited I was to find out that she will be collaborating with Target on a budget-friendly line of clothing and accessories for babies and kids. The fashion line, which will be called Harajuku Mini, will hit Target stores in November of this year and online stores in January of next year. The best part- it will be all be priced at less than $29.99! What mommy doesn't love good affordable fashion? I'm already counting down the days...

movie nights

Movie nights at home are the best. We were able to squeeze in some time to watch a few movies this week. While watching Toy Story 3 again for the THIRD time last night, I got to thinking about my favorite movies...

Serendipity

 Dirty Dancing

My Best Friend's Wedding

 The Wedding Planner

 500 Days Of Summer

What are your favorite movies? :)

favorite celebrity mommies

It's one thing to admire a celebrity, but it's another thing to admire their role as mothers. I am a sucker for celebrities and the world of entertainment and I have a handful of actresses, singers, models, and fashion designers that I've come to love and respect for their work. Since becoming a mommy myself, these are the celebrities who have topped my list as my favorite celebrity mommies:

Angelina Jolie

Gwen Stefani

Reese Witherspoon

Sarah Jessica Parker

Kourtney Kardashian

writer's block

I tried to write about something tonight, but my mind is just not working right now. Maybe it's late...or maybe it's because I have to get up early (in several hours) to co-host a bridal shower event for one of my best friends. I'm excited!


On another note, I finally watched No Strings Attached and it was such a cute movie! I'm in love with Natalie Portman...such an amazing actress!
