Football, Girl Style

So, pretty much during football season guys become unresponsive. (This is not actually true in my own relationship but for the sake of this post, I'm playing along with the stereotype). And I know lots of girls who, to spend some time with their man, sit and watch games on sunday too. I also know a lot of girls who pick who they root for based on the colors of the uniforms. So in honor of the football season, I'm going to select some of my favorite uniforms in the NFL.

Houston Texans: I love the colors, I love the simplicity. Apparently these guys suck, but at least they look good doing it!















Washington Redskins: Because I am from DC and it would be weird to exclude them. Turns out they suck too this year. (Their maroon uniforms are actually cooler but I'm over looking for football photos at this point)














Dallas Cowboys: As a Redskins fan, you're raised to loathe the cowboys, and deep down I do. But I do like their colors!
















Atlanta Falcons: I love the colors here too - black, red, and white. Plus, the quarterback went to Va Tech, my boyfriend's alma mater, so I hear about him all the time. Apparently Michael Vick is REALLY good. (like I care.)










I think next time I'll pick my favorite cheerleading uniforms!

fabulous fendi


So, I've always generally purchased Prada, Louis or Gucci ... never really straying into the Fendi arena. But, hot damn, I might this year. Looking through the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book (yes the same catalog I found the black dress I thought about wearing to my wedding until I was talked out of it by fashion-friendly and concerned friends), I found the bag I must have this winter season. Just look at this masterpiece of patent leather and gold hardware! Look at this drop-dead gorgeous bag that literally screams, "Carry me!" I mean seriously, when you squint your eyes and look at this photo, doesn't that kinda look like me holding the bag? And don't I look hot?

To the Paddington, I say, you're so last year. (Sorry, my ex love.) And instead, I turn to Fendi. You might cost $1730 but I've heard something about future spouses giving each other gifts on the day of the wedding. Think Nick might be into that?

(blogger's note: he definitely would not be and might actually break up with me if he even sees I wrote that down thus meaning it was a thought that actually entered my head.)

Who said wedding dresses have to be white?

So, the fact of the matter is, I love this dress. LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. So, keeping in mind that this is my SECOND marriage and the wedding is small and cute and fun and only 15 people and in napa, don't you think I could totally get away with wearing this? I mean, there's white underneath.... PLUS, for the big party in Virginia, I could wear it again! It's a total win-win. Right?

Is anyone buying this?

England's Hottest Exports

So, here's the deal. It seems to me that the small country across the pond that fancies high tea and old queens is producing a large portion of the world's most beautiful women. And I love them all. You might be thinking I just dig the accent, and you're right. I do. But these lovely ladies ALSO have rockin' figures and great hair. They are the total package and truthfully, American counterparts (think cameron diaz and sandra bullock) sometimes just don't hold water to them.

Here are some of my faves:

1) Kate Beckinsale
SHE IS STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS. Period. Her hair, her smile, her cute little body. I LOVE her. Have you seen Serendiptiy? If not, rent it tonight. She's adorable in it and who doesn't love a quick john cusack fix?




































2) Victoria Beckham
I think I like just watching her more than really admiring her fashion sense or beauty. That said, I could look at photos of her forever. Her hair evolution, her 'i'm-making-love-to-the-camera' scowl she gives the paparazzi and her so-hot-I-could-die husband make it difficult to break my stare.


















3) Kate Moss
She's the only person in the history of life to have a life-size photo doing cocaine published across the globe and to walk away with MORE endorsement deals than before she got busted. My favorite part of all? She never said a word to the press. Not one. But primarily I dig her cause she's hot. Though her taste in men, specifically pete doherty, is suspect.









4) Elizabeth Hurley
Okay, so she's getting a little older. I get it. But I'm sorry, this woman is crazy hot. And she stared in the original Austin Powers AND the guilty pleasure must-see Bedazzled. And she rocks her boobs like no other and any woman who does that wearing designer duds without shame is a favorite of mine.
















***It should be noted that my top 4 babes from britian are all brunettes which brings me to my own neverending debate. Should I dye my hair brown. I've decided not until after I get married!
