I don’t know much about you, lady, but that outfit is freaking adorable.
Well hello there, little people. My name is Anne Hathaway and I’m freaking adorable in my size 2 red flouncy dress. Go ahead and attempt to copy my amazing outfit on your more …humble budget.
Oh, and while you’re at it, be a doll and find the fat, pregnant version of this amazing dress for my very close & personal friend Morgan. She’s desperate to look like anything but a beached whale these days, poor dear.

aaaand the dark, growing-out, in between, sucky stage.
As you can tell, I have some hair issues. Let’s not talk about the first half of my life — I don’t hold myself fully responsible for that mess. But since I’ve been coloring my hair, I have yet to commit to a single shade for more than a few months. I’ve been black, blonde, and everything in between. I have my favorites, and I have my those-photos-need-to-be-destroyed-not-so-much-my-favorites.
Tomorrow I have an appointment and I’m dying (get it, DYE-ing? har-har) for a change. I already know I’m going to keep growing it out… I’ve commanded my hair stylist not to let me talk her into cutting a bob again (those things are the devil to grow out, let me tell ya…), but the color is the big question.
So now what? Suggestions? Is anyone as color-happy as I’ve been?
Due to the recent posts by the ever so lovely Rachel (Confessions of a Jersey Girl), I have been having some major homeowner envy issues. The talk of painting her dining room Tiffany blue was enough to send me over the edge — umm, fabulous! Don’t get me wrong, our apartment is … cute, but nothing compared to what it would be with a few coats of paint on those dull, ghostly white walls.
I have had a growing obsession with the color teal and it’s amazingness since our wedding in late 2006. Tiffany blue and brown, hello? It was heavenly.
It took no time at all for me to declare it my mission in life to make every home interior-related item that was anywhere near that delicious shade of blue MINE. Lucky for me, our last place was an adorable little house in an adorable little neighborhood, and our landlords had painted the bathroom an adorably perfect shade of - sigh - teal. That, combined with my fabulous shower curtain & Marilyn portrait made me want to hang out in that bathroom for hours. And maybe I did. In the most ladylike fashion, of course.
The only downside to our new place are those ghost-white walls I was telling you about. Unfortunately, renters have limited say in the color of their walls and carpet, so I’m being forced to be creative. It’s also unfortunate that I am just plain uncreative. This is where I need all you faithful bloggy girlfriends to step in and assist this sad little lady.
What are some ways to liven up those boring apartment walls? Have you been in my place before, aching to bring some life and glamour into the little space you call home? Give me some ideas, s’il vous plait, and I promise never to delete you from my Google Reader.
Okay, hot mom alert. She just had her baby in what? March? I hope I look that good after this bundle of joy/fatness arrives.
I thought Halle’s summery casual look was wicked cute. She glammed up a plain white dress with a few accessories and made a completely gorgeous outfit. I find that if you have a few good and simple pieces in your wardrobe, you can change the entire look by swapping out the accessories. Hmm… new post idea …
I KNOW you can do better than that… Try it.
