Weekend Recap & GTKY!

Friday- My roommates Jess, Rebecca and I did a little girl time running errands and such.  The girls wanted to go tanning and Jess had a free tan so she let me use it at Beach Bum Tanning.  I went in the platinum level bed for 8 minutes.  It's nuts how many freckles came out on my face in that short period of time.  Then we went to the Verizon store because Rebecca and I are looking to get the iPhone and it just came out in white!  Rebeccas studying abroad starting the end of August and the iPhone doesn't have international so she can't use it.  Plus, the iPhone 5 is "supposedly" coming out this October so I think I may wait.  Then we went to "Face Value" to look at nail polish!  I really think my extreme nail polish hoarding really revved up all because of them and their love for nail polish.  We did contain ourselves and walked out empty handed :)  We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  So delicious!! After a filling meal we came home to get beautified for a night out.  My best friend Heather came up (like she usually does) because Friday may be one of our last good, fun college nights out before the semester ends :(

Saturday: I came home for Steves Birthday!

I Love You Steve!  I went to his house so he could open his gifts. I forgot to take pictures :( ... I got him new Nike gym sneakers, plaid shorts and a Tshirt that says "Los Cabos".  My family gave him bathing suits, so he's all set for vacation now.  We watched the Yankees play against Toronto, Yankees won 5-4.  It was a good game! I was going to get Steve tickets for that game and I'm mad I ended up not getting them.  After the game we headed to the mall so he could return so clothes and look for things for vacation.  I ended up buying these items from New York & Company.

$41.96

$36.95

White Leather Handbag - $30.06

Plus, a floppy beach hat, a ring, and a K inital necklace.

All weren't pictured on the website.

In Express I purchased.

Scoop-Neck Dolman Tee

Color: Cannes  $29.90

Graphic Double Layer Cami

I only went to Victoria Secret beause my surprise amount-off coupon was expiring.

I also had $10 off coupons, and a free panty coupon.

I bought 3 new pairs of underwear, an orange PINK tee not picured online, and PINK coral shorts.

Steve and I had a small dinner, we split a plate because we both weren't extremely hungry, then saw the new FAST 5 movie!!

Fast Five is full of beautiful cars, beautiful women and

GOREGOUS SEXY MEN!!

*PAUL WALKER* and VIN DIESEL!

Both of these men are truely so sexy in my eyes :)

I've been a huge fan of the "Fast and the Furious" movies since the beginning.  All of them are part of my "Favorite Movies." 

 Fast 5 didn't disappoint!! It's full of action, suspense, and good laughs.  There were so many toe-curling-moments!  I really enjoyed it and would recommend seeing it!

That was pretty much my whole weekend!

Style Trends

Do you think these style trends are:

HOT or NOT

Fur Vests

You can wear this fuzzy top for a night out or around town with jeans.

-I'll confess I have two fur vests.  I'm from Jersey what do you expect?!-

Two-Tones Brogues

Bring back your schoolgirl days with the classic saddle shoe

-I would never wear these shoes.  I'm sorry I think their hideous.-

Navajo Prints

Look cool while staying warm in over sized, printed coats

-I'm all about wearing bold prints.  But this print to me is a big NO!-

Neck Ties

Is it a man's world and we're just living in it?  Tailored suits and ties with feminine accessories.

-This is just all kinds of wrong-

Plaid Blazers

Pair a plaid jacket with sleek basics

-I'm not a huge fan of plaid to begin with so I don't think I'd wear this trend-

Animal-Ear Hoods

Have a favorite animal? Wear them as head wear.

-I'd love to know if when these ladies put these hats on that they looked in the mirror and said "I look adorable!" Like what are they thinking??-

Literal Leopard-Print

A whimsical take on the leopard-print trend: wearing the actual leopard face!

-I think many of you know by now I'm okay with wearing animal print.  But this??  Wearing a huge leopard face I am not-

Belted Frocks

Give retro full-skirted, filmy dresses with skinny belts a modern twist with their sexy, undone 'dos and fabulous footwear.

-I love the way Jessica Alba and Eva Mendes are rocking this trend.  I wouldn't wear it like Amy Adams-

Quilted Leather Jackets

Classic leather toppers with a luxe twist: a sexy qulited texture and fitted shape.

-I like wearing leather and I think this twist is sexy-

Can Underwear Change Your Mood?

ShopSmart magazine is reporting that women feel more confident and sexy when they wear a special pair of underwear. However, a bad pair of underwear can have the complete opposite effect. The survey was conducted and featured 1,000 women over the age of 18, and 47 percent said their underwear had a huge effect on their confidence. Other interesting findings from the study: women own an average of 21 pairs, with 10 percent owning 35 or more; women tend to prefer briefs in neutral colors such as black, white and beige.
women between the ages of 18-34 tend to wear more adventurous styles.

So what does it all mean? Well, it doesn’t seem to tell us much we didn’t already know. (Wait, women like to feel sexy? What?) Most people tend to feel more confident when they know they have put a lot of work into their appearance. While it may not be underwear with men, you certainly wouldn’t walk into a job interview wearing gym shorts and feel good about it. What the study does point to is that the commodification of sex is a very real thing; Victoria’s Secret isn’t a billion dollar company for nothing. It might not be wise to draw too many conclusions from this, but it speaks to the fact that many women likely feel that society values them primarily for their physical attractiveness.

I agree with this article, even if there covered by bottom clothing and no one sees my panties.

 I'll wear a cute, lacy or racy pair just because it makes me feel good, confident, and sexy.

But then again I'm not saying an ugly pair of underwear ruins my day.

Do you feel that this research conducted is true

and you fall into this category of women?

Hot Trends!

Would You Wear These Trends?!?

HOT OR NOT!

SEQUINED BLACK MINIS

Perfect for a winter party.  Enough sparkle to dazzle and

enough coverage to keep away the chill.

I'd TOTALLY wear this!!

I can't believe I dont already have it hanging in my closet!

HIGH WASITED JEANS

Are these waist jeans stylish and versatile.

I would NOT try this style.  I'm so extremely picky about my jeans

and this would be a negative for me!

LEOPARD BOOTIES

When your out on the prowl, had a bit of pop with leopard booties!

I'm on the edge about this.  I think their cute, and then again im like ehhh....

FULL SKIRTS

Go demure in sweeping calf-length skirts.

I would NOT wear a skirt like this. 

 I think this skirt is making these beautiful ladies looked so aged and not cute! 

I like my really long legs, so I'd rather show them off!

TOGGLE COATS

A grown-up version of a kid-friendly classic.

I like Taylor Swifts coat, but the other ones I'd say no to. 

So I guess all in all I'd say this trend is a NOT

TURTLE NECK DRESSES

A conservative spin, showing some leg.

I truely believe this all about the dress you choose and how you wear it

It could look totally rockin or a huge big no!

FUZZY BLACK COATS

Born to be wild with shaggy outerwear.

If you're a regular blog follower of mine I'm sure you know by now I love love animal print and animal fur.  I'd say HOT!  Just make sure you dont wear hidious cheap looking fur.

LEATHER SHEATHS

A rock-in-roll trend gets a ladylike twist. 

NOT HOT to me.  I like leather, but wearing leather the whole outfit,

is just a plain no in my book.

GOLD SEQUINED SKIRTS

Wear this blingy bottom with a toned down top.

I LOVE sparkle, so I think its HOT! 

Perfect for a christmas party or NYE

Would trends would you wear?
