People's Choice Awards 2011

The Kardashian sisters rocked the People’s Choice Awards last night – With all the Keeping-up  sisters looking spectacular!   

Here’s a look at what they wore! 

Kim Kardashian

Kim showed off her hot curves in this gold Malandrino design and styled it with a Rina Limor necklace - Golds Clutch and Nude heels. This dress was the perfect shape - design - and style for her!

Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney looked amazing in this Gert-Johan Coetzee dress, paired with a Swarovski clutch and some nude Christian Louboutin heels – she also showed off her new curly hairstyle that added a old Hollywood sophistication to her look.

Congratulations to South African Designer Gert-Johan Coetzee for dressing one of our favorite international starlets!

Khloe Kardashian

My favorite Kardashian sister looked absolutely perfect in this low-cut grey Alexander McQueen creation – styled with a little black and white Judith Leiber clutch. Khloe's new red hair looked amazing and is definitely a perfect match to her vibrant personality 

Congratulations to the three sisters on winning People’s Choice - Favourite TV Guilty Pleasure.

Younger sisters Kendall wearing a Bebe dress and a Le Vian ring and Kylie wearing a Wink dress also looked gorgeous!

In true Kardashian style all the ladies wore Christian Louboutin shoes!

What's on My Phone?

I am feeling just like a bear. By 8:00 at night I'm so tired! It gets dark around here starting at 4:30 and by 7:00 my internal clock is begging for bed.

Most nights I hang out with Pup in the office for a while, pretending to do SOMETHING, but really, doing nothing. Not even researching what I have to BUY for the den interests me once my big head starts bobbing and begging for bed.

So, sometimes I go upstairs to the loft between 8:30 and 9:00 to read. Uh huh. READ. That lasts about five minutes.

Spiff.

But then, my eyes spring open at 3:00 or 3:30. Ridiculous! I have an ongoing insomnia problem, but thought I had made a bit of progress.

So, I'm in my office early. Oh yes, it's still dark. The worker-boys show up around 7:30 and it's barely light even then.

What it is!

So . . . a few shots from my phone.

Tried to get a shot of new boots. A fashion blogger I will never be.

A shot of Lorenzo's ornaments I sent her so she'd know I had them. Fascinating!

A missed opportunity. They looked darling literally one second before this shot. I swear.

This is what is causing all the crazyness at the house?? Really?

Inside the den. Whooooooo!

Shot of my lovely new watch my lovely daughters bought me. I had to send the shot to them because I'm annoying.

There is a story behind this shot, but I am under confidentiality restrictions and could get fined if I spill. So I won't

Eliza Doolittle

Flirty Fashion with a twist!!

I absolutely LOVE Eliza Doolittle’s music – its fresh and it packs a lot of old school flavor!

The same must be said about her fashion sense!!

This vintage inspired style is all about the carefree nature of yesteryear!

A 60’s inspired wardrobe with hot prints and quirky trends is what makes Eliza Doolittle such a style icon – Love her for embracing a style that is unique to her and her sound!

The biggest trend from the Doolittle wardrobe would have to be the “sneakers” LOVE these power-pink Nike Sneakers! 

TopTip

If you want to pull off a daring print make sure to keep your makeup neutral and clean!

Let loose and develop your own style…and don’t care what the whispers say, because they whisper to loudly for me!

Hot Men Friday

The new year is nearly here.

I'm excited for the new year. I feel very sanguine about the coming year. That all by itself is a pleasing feeling (More than a Feeling - sigh - I still love Boston). I haven't had that particular pleasure for a bit of time. So,

"Hello delight - where the fuck have you been? I've been very sad and lackluster without you."

As most of us bloggers/writers know, even though we share a slice of ourselves to anyone who stumbles onto our blog, there is, like an iceberg, much more below our surface.

We don't really know what motivates some bloggers to be endlessly entertaining, we don't know the creative force behind some of the brilliant fashion and decorating blogs out there, we don't entirely know the process behind those thoughtful and provoking blogs we love, and we don't know what could motivate a blogging-asshole. We just don't know. We think we do. But we don't.

For instance, the face I show here in my blog is a mostly happy face. I am mostly a happy girl. With that is the mostly dark girl as well. I kinda like the dark girl, but I never want to foster her because, truth be told, she can scare the shit out of me from time to time.

So, on this forum, for me, I let the happy girl out. But never confuse upbeat with weak.

We bloggers are a convex and rectilinear sort and to ever assume you can know what to expect - well, that could get your arse in a vice. That's what keeps me coming back. Isn't it fun not really knowing?

Happy New Year my friends. I am embracing the great and gristle. It keeps it interesting!

I have a thing for big, dark, men. I kinda love a bit of fluff and especially love a goofy grin and broody face. That juxtaposition sends a Bullet to, if not my heart, then someplace I can't talk about here. Yes, I said it. I'm not ashamed. Don't lie peeps, you all do it too

I am a great big Sex and the City fan. I own the deluxe boxed set and love to pull out episodes from time to time. Some of my favorite scenes are with Mr. Big. I loved it when his tanned, smooth, brown, and a tiny bit hairy, chest would be in Carrie's bed.

I'm enjoying The Good Wife for his good guy persona and the underlying bad bad boy that he's trying like hell to squash.

LOVE HIM!

Requisite Resolution Ramblings

Seriously? It's the end of the year? WTH happened. Wasn't it just August?

We are having a great winter season here so far. Lots and lots of snow. Very tricky to drive in and so lovely to look at. Even here in the city where I live it's lovely. The snow hides all the ick from everywhere.

I could list the crap I want to accomplish, I could list the crap I didn't accomplish. It's crap either way.

Who said this, "Don't say, do"? That's how I'm feeling. I'm not going to blah blah blah. Well, that's not true. I'll do plenty of that. Just not about resolutions.

But I have a few thoughts in my mind for change. I always do have those thoughts. Some work, some don't, but when you stop having those thoughts, that's when you're done. I don't want to ever be done! No matter how much I kick and scream, bitch and moan, gripe and grouse, complain and exclaim.

I did learn tons of crap this year.

1. I learned that my brain can still learn. Who knew?
2. I learned that sometimes you get a second chance.
3. I learned that if you don't use it, you really do lose it.
4. I learned that I never want to stop coloring my hair.
5. I learned that planning an addition is crazy-making fun.
6. I learned that I can be a force to be reckoned with.

What's to come.

1. Expand job search.
2. Rethink career goals.
3. Relax about the den. It will be fine. Big deal and quit second-guessing.
4. Eat better. (said every damn year - ha!)
5. Exercise more. (ditto)
6. Consider electro-shock therapy.

Alright! I feel cleansed!

What's going on in your resolution solutions?

New Tricks for Old Dogs?

Nikon d3100 - heavenly

I know, I know. Some of you photography fans are going to miss my Blackberry shots. After all, the composition and lighting has been flawless yes?

So, I am learning. I am listening. I am pushing buttons and flipping levers. I am having a blast!

What are you playing with?
