Fab Cakes

I'm planning an anniversary party for my parents, so my co-worker Tram sent me over a website, Wrightberry's Custom Cakes, for fab cakes in the Portland area. Their annivesary cakes look so amazing, but look what else they had! How fun are these for a girls night, bachelorette party or similar. Love it!

Help Haiti

I'll soon be another year older and wiser and instead of gifts and things of that nature, I want all my friends and associations and everyone else I know, to make a donation to COLAS Foundation. 100% of the funds will go directly to helping Haiti. Our friends in Haiti need our support and now is the time to do whatever you can to bring Haiti back on its feet! For more information about the Colas Foundation, click here.

Shop Bop's Mini Boutiques

Look at this great new feature from Shop Bop that allows you to create personalized, mini-boutiques to enhance your shopping experience! I'm a huge fan of Shop Bop, so I'll probably end up heart-ing just about everything, but I still love this idea!

To start collecting hearts go to Shop Bop and login.

Shoe Love Daily: Be&D

Loving this Richmond leather, round-toe pump (by Be&D) with studded strap detailing. The color and texture are very mature and the studs are edgy but still professional enough for the conservative urban girls. Hot Fire.

VH1 Style

There are two things in life that I am addicted to: 1. Fashion 2. Reality TV. I know, it's coonery, bad for the brain, embarrassing to women and all those other things, but I just cannot fight the addiction. It’s my drug of choice. I’m so addicted that I'll watch anything; even if I haven't consumed this drug consecutively, I'll just jump on at any episode and get my fix. I gotta have it, it's a habit. I don't have a favorite reality show but I am partial to VH1 shows just because the level of drama is somewhat "realistic" and they have such good lighting that I just get reeled in!

I usually tune in to VH1 first when looking for something to watch and have now seen just about every episode of all their "Bachelor"-ish type shows that have ever aired. This includes but is not limited to: Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and my favorite of them all, For the Love of Ray J.

I loved Season 1 of For the Love of Ray J (FTLRJ1). I got hooked to these crazy girls and their outrageous antics to attain a champagne glass and prove that they were indeed there for the 'love' of a man who to me doesn't even look like he wants a girlfriend. I was quite entertained. And while I'm not as invested in Season 2 (by this time last year I had a "Team Cocktail" tee), I've still watched at my leisure. I don't have a favorite and I really don't even know all the girls' names but there is something that keeps me tuned in...the "fashion"!

Where oh where do these girls get these outfits?! I've seen it all: metallic, foil, rouching, rhinestones - and that’s all in one dress! So today while I was doing my daily blog reading, I came across this '12 Skanky Dresses NOT to Wear on New Years' (via The Frisky) and bygosh if I didn't see the full wardrobe from FTLRJ2. I was amazed...these are all the dresses that I find so hideous on this show but still wait to see what these people will wear next week. And they never disappoint me!

In the blog post by The Frisky, Cutesy Girl was the most cited apparel website, so I ventured over there and took a look at their offering. It is 100% VH1 approved! Here are a few dresses I anticipate seeing before the finale! *crossing my fingers*

No shade to anyone one who loves these looks or frequents Cutesy Girl. If you like it, I love it (but I won't be borrowing your clothes)!
