Well, Well, Well.
One of my favorite artists, Duffy, has a new album out that is really lovely. Check out her first single, "Well, Well, Well."
"Too Hurt To Dance" is one of the first ballads on the album. In true Duffy style, the lyrics are powerful and heart felt.
My suspicions tell me "Keeping My Baby" will be her second single. It's really, really catchy.
For more music from Duffy, check out her new CD "Endlessly." Enjoy!

Dreamy.
Coco + James // Short film from Americana Cinema on Vimeo.
This video is just so dreamy and beautiful. I don't even know these people and it made me sniffle.Poppy Love Songs.
I'm a big sucker for poppy love songs. It also doesn't hurt that Bruno Mars is devilishly handsome. Plus, any guy that wears old-school oxfords is ok in my book.

Coldplay Christmas.
If you know me, you know how much I love Coldplay. They're one of my all-time favorite bands. Their new single, Christmas Lights is really sweet and perfect for this time of year. Enjoy, loves!

The holidays are upon us and you know what that
means; New Year's Eve and other holiday cocktail parties.
How about this uh-mazing tulip dress? The full skirt is insane.

better to wear sequins than while watching the ball drop?

let's face it, black is always flattering. Plus, it's only $83. Score!
My NYE dress looks nearly identical to one of the above dresses.
Can you guess which one?

What's My Name?
Princess RiRi is really crankin' out the hits for her album, Loud. I am really digging her second single, What's My Name? It's got this fantastic Caribbean feel to it that I really like. Keep 'em coming, RiRi!
PS: Loving that Drake is in this song. Didn't they use to briefly date? Hmmm.

Oprah's Favorite Things.
If you know me, you know that I live for Oprah. Oprah's Favorite Things is, hands down, the most entertaining show of the year. This year was no exception, as Oprah really pulled out the stops for one last Favorite Things episode. Nothing is more entertaining than watching the lucky guests scream in delight, cry out loud, praise Jesus, jump up and down and generally tweak out over the gifts they are receiving. Check out 5:17 in the second video for my fave Oprah-tweak-out.
God, I love her.

Royal Engagement.
It's official; Prince William has proposed to long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton. William gave Kate his mother's engagement ring; a stunning sapphire and diamond ring. "It's my mother's engagement ring, so of course it's very special to me, and Kate's now very special to me, so it was only right to put the two together," said William during his interview.
As the wife of a royal duke and prince, Kate will assume the title of duchess as well as Royal Highness. Kate will also assume her official duties shortly after she is married. Prince William is planning to introduce her to these duties slowly to avoid the depression suffered by his late mother when she joined the Royal Family.
This wedding is going to be insane. Let's hope it's televised. Better yet, let's hope I get an invite!

Only Girl.
I've got Rihanna's "Only Girl" on serious repeat lately.
PS: How are we feeling about RiRi's uber-red hair? Love it or leave it?

His style is really playful and he credits old school
Michael Cane as his biggest fashion inspiration.
whose style is very Parisian and edgy. Tres chic!
I hope these bloggers inspire you as much as they
do me. At the very least, for some fashion eye-candy!

Where Is My Phone?!
phone in a given week! I Can't Find My Phone is this
terrific website where you type in your phone number
and it calls your phone. I tried it and it works! Genius!

Monster.
I am really loving Kanye West's newest single, Monster, right now. The best part of this song is, hands down, Nicki Minaj's part at 3:36. She kills it. She puts Kanye, Rick Ross and Jay-Z to shame.
I love Nicki Minaj. She is such a good rapper and so hot right now and like she says in the song, she doesn't even have an album out yet. "So, let me get this straight wait I’m the rookie/But my features and my shows ten times your pay/50k for a verse no album out!"

Confronting Life.
I stumbled across this video and article and thought it was really powerful; a man confronts a couple of abortion protesters after he and his wife enter a clinic to abort their near-stillborn child.

Whip My Hair.
Have you seen Whip My Hair by Willow Smith? This girl (daughter of Will Smith) is only 9 years old. How insane is that? She is quite the little fashionista too!

about what I need to pack. What is more fun than planning
your vacation? Nothing! Well, except maybe the vacation itself.
Here are some vacation must haves:

It would double well for your towel and sunscreen
while sitting on the beach.

Gaga Recap.
a hair bow because I was having a dreadful hair day. Bummer.
on stage. She seriously rocked the piano; even with her shoes.
Prance around on stage in a bra and panties and not stand for anything?"
Her body was sick. I mean, bounce-a-quarter-off-her-butt-sick.
Some things I learned about Lady Gaga 1) She really, really loves her fans.
2) Home girl can sing like whoa. 3) Love her or hate her, she is totally
comfortable in her own skin and wants you to be comfortable in yours.
The message of the night was all about love and loving yourself.

Emmy Dress Recap.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB4YDQ8VzRB0xYd9BdkUz7BMDSc6X9NL9wI1S2-EuTSxayn8Hn6s0u7DAnAD5ljnLHKSK3Uwz83jdXy9OUun64RWuGOy9IEjzjeDsvMDaTthYgWZ0sUGe9T7fRTV-RXBCVu8mYA8DPo8k/s320/Emmy2.jpg)
dresses certainly has not. So, who turned it out? One of my top picks is Glee's
Lea Michelle. She chose a strapless Oscar De Le Renta number. Navy blue looks
divine on her, and the overstated necklace is lovely. I could have used a few less
ruffles, but I'll let it fly. I also loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Narciso Rodriguez gown, which
was both age appropriate and still sexy. The bright green jewelry made this outfit.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYsxJbT4z0IRo5k-sfCSk6TtrsHZ1cybCuJCJ7ELPyLtdWkIU_FkjnqYJ-RsN4gAKaXEY5mF9a-CjK257gv_yveSiKMIDH_FG5HuyBKPuTarelDxhkMHoSm9PPqP9iW4TAa7B4B94d9_4/s320/Emmy1.jpg)
hesitant of all over sparkles, but this just oozes Hollywood glamour. Thank
God she got some sun, otherwise this color would have seriously washed her out.
No major jewelry was needed with such a sparkly dress, although she is wearing
small gold earrings. Who were your favorites? Fashion disasters?
PS: Does Susan Sarandon ever age? Killer body and gown! Va va voom!

Summer Jams.
Katy Perry's latest single, Teenage Dream, has been blasting from my car for the last few weeks. I know everybody's summer anthem has been Katy's California Gurls, but this is my summer jam. I can't get enough of it!
Sprucing Things Up.
much you can do to your home to spruce things up. Sometimes adding
a few new touches can make a big difference. I recently bought new lamps
(thanks, Pier 1 Imports) in an effort to jazz things up a bit.
