Baby P'Trique!

This JUST in: there's a baby P'Trique video out! Well, not baby but definitely pre-teen. And apparently P'Trique is close enough to my age to make me relate (and remember!) a lot what is reference. This is gold.


 
Happy Friday!

Is there such a thing...?

A little something I saw this morning that made me laugh...

It's the very look I used to get when I told people I had a shoe room, haha!

Happy Tuesday to all! If you happen to be in a place with a lot of winter weather I hope you are safe, happy and warm. It's a little crazy out there!

Funny Friday: Epic Split

Launched last week and viral within minutes, Volvo Trucks put out a video starring Jean-Claude VanDamme to demonstrate their precision steering. It's one of my most fave videos and I can't stop watching it! It's a combination of funny and cool. My best guess would be that most have seen it but in the off chance someone hasn't I posted it below (and if you haven't DO watch it - it's that good), BUT that's not what today's post is about... it is about the second video I have included. That video, is 100% humor. If you're a fan of 21 Jump Street and/or Channing Tatum, I think you'll agree... enjoy!



Have a great weekend!

Funny Friday: Batdad

Added to YouTube 2 weeks ago, and sitting with more than 7 million views, there is no doubt that "BatDad" has gone viral. In the off chance you've not yet seen it, it was an obvious choice for today's post... and if you have already seen it, I'm sure like me, you're all to eager to watch it again! I wish I could pick a favourite part but there are TOO MANY! Enjoy and happy Friday!!!

Funny Friday

So I saw this a little while ago and thought it was quite funny: What if Cher from Clueless had Instagram...

I loved Clueless, and I love Instagram so this touched a special place in my heart, haha!

Funny Friday: For Us Gals

A little Friday humour for the ladies... 

Have a great long weekend!!!

Drinking & Tweeting

The second book I've finished since rediscovering myself as a Book Worm is Drinking and Tweeting by Brandi Glanville. 

If you like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you will most likely like this book. If you love Brandi Glanville, then you will mostly likely love this book. If neither are true, well, I don't know how you'll feel about this book actually! I am a fan of both the BH Housewives AND Brandi, as is my mom, and we both agree that you might have to know her to enjoy this book or for it to make sense. Brandi is so crass, outspoken, blunt, but in my opinion, also hilarious. One of the things I liked about the book was that as I read each page and each word, I could almost hear her saying it all! Hence where the disconnect might come in if you are not familiar. 

But moving on, she is of course the scorned ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian, who famously had an affair and left her for country singer LeAnn Rimes. There you go! You have the foundation of the book. The affair happened before she became a Housewife and although you hear snippets of her talking about it on the show, I was mostly aware of what had gone down from the media frenzy that surrounded the whole situation. That being said, it was a very interesting read because she is very real, and took you through her experiences. Don't get me wrong, this is a VERY fluffy book, but it was a quick read and I also found it a lot of fun.

I've said it before and I will say it again, I can't guarantee you'll love it if you don't know her (but who knows, you might!) but if you do, I recommend you put this on your summer reading list! 

My Little iPhone

Yet another not-so-practical iPhone cover that I can't get enough of! Who wouldn't want a 3D bedazzled My Little Pony case with actual hair? :)

This photo was posted by Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet on Instagram and although I say it's not practical, it's WAY more practical then the last one she posted!

Funny Friday: Dove Real Beauty Sketches (Men)

So you know the beautiful Dove Real Beauty Sketches video that's been making the rounds on the internet the last couple of weeks? The one that touched you so deeply and had you in tears? Well this is the men's answer to that video. It was bound to happen and I am nothing short of impressed.

*IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE ORIGINAL YET, PLEASE DO SO BELOW, AND MAY I RECOMMEND DO SO FIRST* or just watch it again because it's so amazing... 

Enjoy!


And the original just in case:

Not your average outfit post

This outfit post is not going to tell you how to look long and lean, or how to flatter your silhouette, nor will it tell you how to wear the latest trends. What it WILL tell you is how to be cozy and a little bit majestic at the same time!

Let me introduce you to my unicorn onesie. Like most girls, as a child I found myself rather infactuated (obsessed???) with rainbows, pink, and unicorns. Yes, I was the epitome of a girly girl, and still am. Fast forward to my adult life: I still do everything possible to embrace those things I onced loved so very much, but perhaps in a more mature and subtle way. This is of course until I stumbled across these beauties online. And by stumbled, I mean I typed something the likes of "unicorn adult onesie" into Google. There she was. A beautiful pink unicorn one-piece just waiting to be worn by me. It was meant to be. Of course when I saw a blue one and showed my roommate, she was all to willing to become the blue unicorn to my pink unicorn. 

The day they came in the mail and I pulled them out of the box, I just remember hunching over and laughing so hard. They were exactly what I envisioned, if not better! The heads too - they were a bit more sturdy and stuffed than I thought and that is what was killing me. I have nothing bad to say about them - they're awesome. Wearing it just makes me feel so happy and like a kid again! I definitely don't feel like a professional career woman, but who wouldn't like a little vacation from that by simply putting on a unicorn onesie?

P.S. These are just as comfortable as they look, if not more. 

P.P.S. The above pictures were taken by a friend of mine who JUST SO HAPPENED to come over unexpectedly the first night we wore them. And she never does that! It was one of those right-place-right-time moments for her. Imagine a unicorn answering the door? Haha! :)

Funny Friday: Fashion Insultants

A couple of weeks ago I was watching Jimmy Kimmel and there's a segment he did with Guillermo and his Aunt Chippy called Fashion Insultants. I just tracked it down to share because I thought it was hilarious and I hope you do too! It's about exactly what it sounds like it's about, and it's so good. Happy Friday!

Love It or Leave It: Lucite

So it seems a new fashion trend is popping up. That fashion trend is Lucite being used in footwear. I feel like this started when Christian Louboutin used Lucite for the upper part of his shoes a few years ago. Remember the ones where the whole shoe was Lucite except for the cap of the toe? Well now, the trend has moved to another region - the heel. Yes, Lucite heels - or as I can't help but refer to them after a famous stand-up bit from Chris Rock: clear heels. So I ask, love it or leave it? I have picked here some super high-end styles to illustrate the trend in question. My opinion: leave. I mean, we can't possibly love them, can we? I have yet to see someone actually wear a pair, but I can't wrap my head around it at all. I also am not a big fan of block heels - they remind me too much of the 90's.

Diane Von Furstenburg | Stuart Weitzman | L.A.M.B. | Loeffler Randall

I am very interested to know if anyone is on board with this style, owns this style, or has even seen this style. And much like the platform sneaker trend (which I'm still not quite on board with), I wonder if this will stick around.

And if you don't know the Chris Rock reference to clear heels, Google it! I think that is another reason I can't wrap my head around this trend...

Funny Friday: Oscars & Jennifer Lawrence

To cap of this week following the Oscars, I thought I'd share some funny things not just having to do with the Oscars, but also having to do with Jennifer Lawrence. I have said it a million times (or twice) and I will say it again: prior to seeing Silver Linings Playbook I really didn't like her much but now - after the movie, seeing interviews and her awards show flubs - I'm kinda loving her!

The first thing I want to share is a photo The Platform (best known for personalities such as P'Trique) posted on Facebook yesterday, with the caption "Who else thinks this should be an actual ad in the next issue of Vogue? Tumbling is SO chic right now."

Here are a couple of Jennifer Lawrence videos that have been making their rounds on the internet this week. The first, her hilarious press speech after winning her Oscar:


And when she met Jack Nicholson for the first time after he crashed her ABC interview...


Have a fabulous weekend!

A+O iCouture

Shortly after my post showing off my iCouture, I came across this little beauty - this is an Alice + Olivia iPhone case! I don't know if it's for sale, or if will be for sale (I've looked a bit online and haven't found it), but designer Stacey Bendet posted it on Instagram. It's not very practical - imagine it in your purse - but man is it cute! It's also pretty hilarious. I love LOVE love it!

Funny Friday: Celebrity Tweets

If you happen to have a few minutes (and I really hope you do!), please take a look at this little YouTube playlist I've put together. 

I happen to think that Jimmy Kimmel is HILARIOUS and browsing through his YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon these gems. In these 3 videos he has celebrities read real tweets that were either directed @ them or about them. Seriously funny stuff here! (I put them in order but I'd say 2 and 3 are the best) Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
