5 Looks to Lose

I picked up my March issue of People Style Watch again and besides the 10 Looks to Keep, they had 5 Looks to Lose.

1. Color-Block

I am actually a fan of color-block dresses and am sad that they are a look I should lose.

2. Bright Jeans

I am not a fan of bright jeans and therefore am happy to see them go.

3. Sack Dresses

I do like some sack dresses, the ones that do have a little bit of shape to them but the dress pictured here makes me look ridiculous.

4. Long Vest

I was never a long vest wearer, but I think I like them.

5. Mary Jane Flats

I am a not a fan of the Mary Jane Flats because I feel they cut off my foot and leg and make me look stumpy.

10 Looks to Keep

I just got my monthly issue of People Style Watch in the mail. I love this magazine because it gives me ideas, shows me new products, and where to find look-a-like designer look at a fraction of the cost. In this month's issue they had an article called 10 Look to Keep. I am going to post them, a picture of the look and my thoughts on it.

1. Lagoon Blue
I love these blue colors and think it would be great from anything to dresses, to shirts and skirts.

2. Floral prints

I am not a huge fan of floral for myself but if someone can rock it then by all means do so, but I look ridiculous in floral.

3. Ruffles

I love ruffles on both clothing and accessories. Of course too much ruffles is silly looking but in general love them.

4. Fringe

I have fringe on one of my favorite hand bags and I love it. Small detailing of fringe is nice to me but I could never pull off a fringe vest.

5. Pleated Cropped Pants

Totally not my style but it could be because I have short legs and would look ridiculous in them.

6. Tribal print

I am a fan of the tribal print and tribal print detailing. And I think most people could pull it off.

7. Drapey Dress

I like the loose and comfortable looking fit of a drapey dress. I think it would hide some trouble spots that most women are looking to cover. Not sure I like the fitting knee feature of this dress but in general like the look.

8. Hobo Bags

I love love love hobo bags and everything about them. I love them in a variety of colors too.

9. Statement Necklaces

Not really my style but again I think it is because I don't think I could pull this look off.

10. Boyfriend Jacket

I like this look and think it works well over a dress, skirt or even jeans.

Inspiration

So I know it has been a while and I'm sorry for all 3 followers that I have. Northern NJ as well as other areas in the north east got hit with another snow storm or as the news reports were calling it Snowicane. We ended up getting about 18" of snow and we are set to get some more on Monday or Tuesday.. Just freaking great.

Since it was a snow day both hubby and I were home so after shoveling ourselves out and running out to get some lunch we decided to watch a movie. I had netflixed three movies, Julie and Julia, 500 Days of Summer and The Ugly Truth.. I pretended to shuffle the movies and hubby had to close his eyes and pick one. Julie and Julia it was.

First off, I absolutely loved the movie. I thought it was really funny, inspirational (hence the title of the post) and kept my interest the whole time. I loved Julie's idea of cooking through Julia Child's book and blogging about it. I liked how Julie started out as a nobody in the blogging world and a year later was super popular and known world wide.

Now I'm not looking to be known world wide but I wish I had interesting things to blog about and people to follow me. Any ideas from my 3 followers would be appreciated. I following a good amount of blogs myself and they range from home decorating to baking to babies to face painting to crafts to fashion, etc. Most of the people that I follow I feel are "famous" in the blogging world or at least have a good number of fans. For some reason I feel more comfortable having random stranger follow me than actually people I know hahaha. Weird I know.

Bachelor

Tonight starts out with the girls still on the RV. They are headed to San Fransisco. It is down to 5 girls. Tenley gets the first date which is a one on one. I like Tenley and really hope she is the final girl. Tenley is starting to get really nervous and realize that she needs to step up her game in order to stay. They head to China Town and they seem to be having fun.



The girls get the next date card and Corrie decides to play a little joke and say the two on one date is for Vienna and Ali. Ali has a mini heart attack and starts to mouth off. Ali is really starting to bother me... we get it you don't like Vienna but to verbal bash her isn't necessary to me. Corrie finally tells the girls she is just joking and Vienna calls Ali out of talking bad about her after the last rose ceremony.



Tenley and Jake talk about their futures and want they want in a marriage. They both ask each other some pretty deep questions. They finally start kissing.. surprise surprise.



Gia and Vienna get a trunk full of clothing to choose stuff from. They go a place called castle winery and it is gorgeous looking. When the three of them are together, Vienna basically steals the spot light. Once Gia and Jake are alone, they seem to really hit it off and have a great connection. They too kiss. I like Gia also.



Vienna finally gets her alone time after hunting Gia and Jake down. Their alone time seems interesting and Vienna stresses that she wants this to all be over and just be with Jake. Jake seems a little put off by this. Vienna decides she wants to surprise Jake and go to his room. Well Jake seems ok with it at first but then asks Vienna to leave so Gia doesn't feel weird.



Corrie is up next for her one on one date. They go out on a row boat and just chat and laugh. They seem a little awkward together and still haven't had a single kiss. After a long talk, Jake and Corrie open up to each other and we learn that Corrie is saving herself for marriage. Jake seems ok with it and they finally kiss.



Last but not least it is Ali's turn. Since Ali is from there, she gets to plan the date. Ali shows Jake her neighborhood. Their date seems cute but nothing too special. They finally talk and Ali claims to finally be ok with all of Jake's decisions (aka Vienna).. I call BS



The final rose ceremony time comes and Jake spends some one on one time with all the girls. Jake saws Vienna his room and view from his room. Jake talks to Vienna and tells her not to worry about what happened the other night and that things are good between them. Jake definitely has a thing for Vienna. Jake sits down with Chris and they discuss how things have been going.

The first rose goes to Tenley

Second rose goes to Ali

Third rose goes to Gia

The last and final rose goes to Vienna

Corrie doesn't seem overly upset, yet Jake does. Corrie didn't open up to Jake enough and I agree with his decision.



Next week is home town dates and it looks pretty good.

Teen Mom

Tonight was the season finale of teen mom. Teen mom has become one of my guilty pleasures.
I am going to break it down by mom.


Tonight starts off with Amber getting ready for her first day at her new job. I am not a huge fan of Amber. Amber of course starts at bitching to Gary about being late, does this girl ever stop complaining? Amber goes to see her GED counselor decides to put her GED on hold and in front of her counselor has a breakdown. The poor counselor women looked like she wanted to get the hell out of there. Leah's 1st birthday party, starts with Amber and Gary fighting (big surprise). Amber's dad stresses her need to have her GED and her dad offers to watch Leah so she can go to classes and get her GED. Gary comes over to see Amber and apologize for everything and tells her that he wants her back. Amber explains that she misses Gary but that things need to change in order for them to get back together. (I really feel bad for Gary, he seems to be a good guy).


Farrah is up next, she is out to dinner with her nagging mom. Farrah is so rude to her mother as nagging as she is. Farrah stresses how hard it is to have a baby at 16.. um hello obviously. Farrah decides to go to the mommy and me class. For once she actually looked like she was happy during the class. Although she goes home to bitch to her mom about the class. Farrah finally decides to spend some more time with Sophia and brings her to the zoo. Farrah finally seems to realize the Sophia should be her number 1 priority and that she doesn't need guys right now.


Maci (one of my favs) is discussing her relationship with Ryan with her friends. Maci admits that she was only going to marry Ryan because she felt like she had to. She then stresses that she is trying to make it work with Ryan for Bentley. (I dunno if I agree with her reasoning). Bentley goes for his first haircut on his 1 year birthday. Ryan proceeds to be on the phone the whole time and totally not even paying attention to Maci and Bentley. Bentley's 1st birthday party goes off pretty well, with Ryan doing nothing, like usual. Maci has lunch with her friends where she decides that she is done with Ryan and at the same time he seems to be having lunch with his friends where he said that if him and Maci get back together it is going to be like world war 3. They finally talk and end things.


Tyler calls his dad to show him the engagement ring he bought for Catelynn. His dad tells him he is too young but it might work. In the end, dad has Tyler's back. Catelynn and Tyler (my other favs) get a 6th month package from the adoptive parents. Carly is very cute from the pictures and Catelynn and Tyler seem to dealing better with their choice. Although Catelynn seems to still be struggle with not being able to see Carly. (I think they are very strong people and really made the right decision to give Carly the best possible life she could have). Tyler and Catelynn go to her mother's/his father's for the weekend. Catelynn's mom finally seems to be alittle nicer and they talk about her moving away and the adoption. Catelynn's mom finally realizes that she really didn't support Catelynn and wasn't there when Catelynn needed her. I feel like her mom is truly sorry and regrets her decision to not be there for her. Tyler asks Catelynn's mom for her blessing to ask Catelynn to marry him. She is very happy and gives her blessing. Tyler bring Cate for a nice lunch where they are both dressed to the nines. The big moment finally comes and Tyler expresses his love for Catelynn, while crying and proposes. Catelynn of course says yes. (I cried too).

The finale special looks very interesting for next week.

Idea - Biggest Loser

I know I have been MIA lately, not much has been going on but Ive been busy all at the same time. So I follow many blogs and I really enjoy when someone reviews a TV show that I watch. I find it interesting to see what other people think of stuff that happens on TV so I am going to start with the biggest loser.

Tonight's episode starts out with a challenge. Of course the freaking red team wins again, although I was really hoping they wouldn't. Besides winning immunity they also get three cards. 1. 2 lb disadvantage
2. no elimination vote
3. no gym time.
The 2 lb disadvantage went to the green team and boy were they pissed but I don't blame them
No elimination vote went to Michael of the white team - I can see the reasoning on this one
No gym time went to the brown team - I also can kinda see the reasoning on this too

When Bob and Jillian find out about who won the challenge, they aren't happy either. Bob eventually confronts the red team and of course they continue to deny throwing the weigh-ins when they have immunity and kinda come to a truce.
Jillian on the other hand is really standing her ground and pisses off the red team, continuing to call them liars. It looks like the red team will only be training with Bob for the rest of their time on the ranch.

The next challenge comes up and each team has to pull themselves up in a crane about 120 feet in the air. The winner will get phone calls home and will also get to choose three other teams to give phone calls to.
The gray team comes out to an early lead and I am really cheering for them. As they near the half way point the freaking red team starts to catch up. The gray team wins and thank goodness. The red team put up a good fight but too bad. I really hoped the gray team didn't choose the red team as one of the three who get to call home but of course they do and the red team has a break down. They picked the green and brown teams also. I agree with those choices. The phone calls were of course emotional.

Last chance workouts are tough as usual. Jillian and Bob torture the teams and hopefully it pays off.

Finally weigh in time comes and red team goes first. Melissa actually loses weigh this week and a good amount and like Jillian said because she had to. Next up is white team Michael and he drops 15 pounds. He is super happy and proud of himself. Black team came up next and did well but not enough to beat white team. Orange team time, it was possibility a milestone for both of them to go under 2o0 and 300 lbs and they both do it. Good for them and they are above the yellow line. Pink team loses a total of 11 lbs and has the lowest percentage now. Brown team, John loses 10 lbs and keeps himself above the yellow line. Gray team (who is my favorite), loses 26 lbs combined and takes the lead on the board. Purple team, Stephanie (another favorite) loses 6 lbs, which puts her in 3rd place. Finally the green team is up and they lose 5 lbs combined on top of the 2 lb disadvantage that they already had. The green team storms down the stairs and little miss red team needs to open her mouth and mention how the 2 lb disadvantage didn't matter either way since the green team did so badly. Green is livid and Jillian proceeds to point out how green team doesn't show emotion and needs to.

Migdalia asks to go home and when elimination comes red team doesn't obey their wishes and another confrontation occurs. Orange, pink and purple all vote for Migdalia to go home like she asked. The gray team comes up next and they vote for Miggy thinking that Migdalia made a rash decision when she asked to be sent home. Brown team follows suit and votes for Miggy. The final decision comes down to the black team and they vote for Migdalia. She is happy to be going home. In the follow up, Migdalia loses a little more weight and is looking forward to the finale.

Previews for next week looks amazing and I can't wait to watch it.
