juicy

So like 5 or 6 years ago, everyone in hollywood discovered juicy couture. Or maybe they'd discovered it earlier, but that's when I started noticing the label being mentioned in every interview involving fashion. All the little poptarts were walking around in juicy velour tracksuits in the winter and in summer they were all about their strapless velour tube dresses. Last year, I finally brokedown and bought a tube dress. And then a track suit. And then another. And here's the deal folks, I REALLY like them.

Last weekend, nick and I went to this lake in northern california (it was ghetto and I'd tell you more about it except all you really need to know is a) the locals didn't have teeth and b) i didn't get engaged.) and while we were speeding around on the little boat we rented, my tube dress disappeared over the side. I didn't notice until we pulled up to the dock and I was DEVASTATED. In fact, I still am. I've since bid for 5 replacements on eBay and lost every auction. Apparently EVERYONE loves juicy tube dresses.

So i'm pouring a little virtual malt liquor out for my homey (the dress). LONG LIVE THE GREEN VELOUR.....

I'm off to shop. Here's a link for juicy if you care to peruse.

*FINAL NOTE: It is impossible for me to write about juicy and not mention my best good friend Meredith. I believe she too was introduced to the glory that is juicy couture late in life and has also become obsessed. She owns the juicy charm bracelet, with many, many charms (it's so cute I could die), juicy flip flops (with a little bow and charm) and is in the market to buy the most obnoxious juicy tracksuit she can find.

I'm a tanning whore

So every year around early May, i start planning my tan for the summer. I (sadly) would go to tanning salons, then tried the spray tan (until literally one of my friends pulled me aside and told me I looked a very odd, streaky-orange color), and recently I began using jergens tanner moisturizer (which the boyfriend loathes due to a weird odor that I now hear about on a daily basis).

And then it happened. I got my first airbrush tan. I was in LA for work and came upon Glitz, a salon in Beverly Hills. I have never looked so naturally and even tanned in my life! While it was slightly awkward standing in front of the girl applying it in just my thong, the week-long effects were totally worth it. It didn't smell, there were no streaks, and the compliments I got! It costs $80, which might sound steep, but I've never been so blissfully bronze in my life.

A sidenote: the two girls who own the shop (and do all the makeup applications, eyebrow shaping and airbrush tanning) were young and super fun. I am so impressed these two girls followed their dreams so passionately. One is 22! And she owns her own salon. Very cool.

That's jaime pressley. Thought I'd see what you thought about her tan... too orange? Or just right?
