Etsy Find of the Week

How cute is this jewelry from Freshy Fig?  I have a locket and a wishbone necklace and love them both.  She a really sweet girl from Portland and is happy to customize any of her pieces upon request!

So Young Victoria!

 

You could get your own initial on this necklace or ask for it plain.

Who could resist this little turquoise locket?

Countdown - 10 More Days!

This is a legit concert in someone's living room...I would die if this ever happened to me! I picked a song with some angry Marcus singing for Sarah.

Fab Find Friday...

Speaking of jeggings (yes I know its only Thursday, but I'll be out of town tomorrow) if you're in the market for a pair, or any other style of jeans for that matter, might I suggest a pair of 7's? If you shop online at their website and enter the code 7FamFF10 you'll get 40% off your purchase...yes that is totally legit and you're welcome.

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Apparently this week I'm really into slouchy, striped, cowl neck shirts.

First I spotted this one...I love the purple and gray stripe, but I'm not 100% sold on the asymmetrical hemline and the cut is pretty boxy (which might actually make it perfect for lounging around the house).

 

With the cinched waist this one is much more my style...technically its a nightgown, but I prefer to think of it as lounge wear which in my mind is appropriate for more than just sleeping in.

Both would look cute with leggings or jeggings and flats.

So Cute...Rarrrr

How cute is she?! I am kind of obsessed with the outfit Katherine Heigl's daughter Naleigh is wearing in this pic...I wonder if they make and adult sized version of the outfit. 

So Happy Together

J.T. has a new do.

...and apparently there are rumors going around that he cheated on Jessica Biel with Olivia Munn...but if you ask me the two of them still look pretty happy together.  

Don't Breah His Heart, His Achy Breaky Heart

Miley Cyrus's parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, are divorcing after 17 years of marriage, they tell PEOPLE. 

"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family," they say in a statement. "We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

The couple have five children, including the pop star. Divorce papers were filed Wednesday in Tennessee citing irreconcilable differences.

Reese's Clutch



I think this is it...Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Leather Wristlet...

Its Not Me, Its You.

Just like their onscreen counterparts Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey, Gossip Girl costars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have ended their real-life romance, too.  A rep for both stars has confirmed their breakup.



11 More Days!

For today's viewing pleasure I've selected a recent performance from Jimmy Kimmel Live.  Please not Winston's pelvic thrusting...its pretty intense.

Help Me Find Reese Clutch

If any of you can help me find this clutch it will make me a happy girl...I think maybe its Mark Jacobs?

Down with the Brown

Denise Richards has brown hair now?  I know no one really cares about her anymore...but People.com didn't even make a comment about her hair color which makes me think its been like that for awhile I just had no idea.

The Final Countdown...

In 12 days I will be getting ready for my first ever Mumford and Sons concert.  I've already scheduled a hair cut for that week and outfits for both nights have been ordered.  I'm planning to bring a few beer staches for the boys...one way or another I will impress them enough that they offer me an assistant position on the spot.

I can't imagine that anyone who has tickets is not crazy excited to see them...but just in case, I'm going to start posting videos every day to get you pumped up...by November 7th your heart will race just thinking about Mumford and Sons like mine always has.

This is currently my fav song...its not recorded and doesn't even have a title yet, but it is AMAZING!!!

If I Ever Meet Robert Pattinson...

If I ever meet Robert Pattinson I'm pretty sure I'll do something embarrassing to spark an expression like this from him...

I'll also call him Bert because I can't say Robert without saying his last name too and I'm not a huge fan of the name Rob...that way if my phone ever gets lost or stolen no one will know that "Bert" in my phone is really Robert Pattinson.  Good thing I've thought this through already...I'm sure it will come in handy one day.

New Couple Alert?

I was waiting on a good pic of the two of them and more confirmation on this scoop...but I'll go ahead and share it with you so you don't hear it somewhere else first...

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal spent the weekend laughing, eating and strolling together in New York City.  First, the two attended the broadcast of Saturday Night Live in Manhattan, which was hosted by Swift's good friend, Emma Stone.

"They showed up together," a source tells PEOPLE. "They walked around together backstage, but they were careful not to be seen too close. It was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him."

On Sunday, Swift, 20 and Gyllenhaal, 29, brunched with another couple at Al Di La in Brooklyn and, says an onlooker, looked "friendly." They were also spotted together strolling around Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood.

While reps for the two stars had no comment about their relationship, the Prince of Persia star might be just Swift's type. 

Can You Believe They Are a Couple?

Just saw this weird pic of Macaulay Culkin...

Did you know he has been dating her for like a really long time?

I never would have guessed it...they seem like such a strange couple!

These Are Kind of Amazing...

Hands down my new favorite dessert!  They are great to take to parties and showers...or for sitting at home. 

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package cake mix
1 (16 ounce) container prepared cake frosting
6 ounces of chocolate flavored confectioners coating disks or bar (available in white chocolate, dark or milk)

Kenworthy's Favorite Fall Combination
- Gingerbread Cake/Cream Cheese Frosting - White Chocolate Coating

Steps
1. Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. When cake is finished baking allow to cool for 30 minutes. Crumble the cake into a large bowl using a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Add the frosting and mix until well combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

2. Line a baking tray with wax paper. Use a melon baller as a scooper to form balls with the cake mixture. Place on wax paper. Once you have used all of the cake mixture, place the baking tray in the freezer for 1 hour. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl of the microwave, stirring every 5-10 seconds until smooth. At this point you can add a bit of food coloring if you are using white chocolate.

3. Remove the balls from the freezer. Using one toothpick, pick up the balls one at a time and dip in the chocolate. Use a second toothpick to slide the ball off the first toothpick onto the wax paper lined baking tray.

NOTE: If the balls fall off the toothpick into the chocolate, they are not firm enough to work with and you'll need to place them back in the freezer for additional time

4. Once you have covered all the balls in chocolate coating place the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is set. At this point you can drizzle other chocolate on the balls for decoration. 

Sorry Charlie

Charlie Sheen was found drunk and naked in a New York hotel early Tuesday morning.  "Police responded to a call for an intoxicated male," sources confirm to PEOPLE. Sheen, 45, was taken to the hospital "in the company of a female, unharmed." He was removed from the scene for "for alcohol abuse and psychological evaluation" and considered an "aided case," meaning no arrest was made.

"I believe he was irrational and intoxicated," a police source tells PEOPLE, adding he was taken voluntarily to New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital by ambulance.

Police were sent to The Plaza Hotel in midtown New York after a call from hotel security, according to the New York Post. The room was trashed when police responded, including damage to a chandelier and hotel furniture.

Sheen, in addition to being recently rehabbed, less than a month ago walked his daughter down the aisle. The Two and a Half Men star is visiting the city with ex-wife Denise Richards, 39, who accompanied him to the hospital, and their two daughters.

Surprise We're Married!

“He’s a bridezilla!” Katy Perry told us of fiance Russell Brand earlier this year. “He likes to buy bridal magazines and dog-ear the pages for reference.” Now it seems that Brand’s plans are finally coming together.

On Wednesday, the couple arrived in India, kicking off a days-long celebration with family and friends and putting wedding watchers on high alert.

The couple officially tied the knot on Saturday.

Long Live the Queen!

I watched Young Victoria this weekend.  Twice.  I'm kind of obsessed now.  What can I say, I'm pretty sure I'd make an excellent queen.

Because of my new found fascination with British royalty I feel the need to start reporting on Prince William and Kate Middelton...

It may not have been her wedding, but Kate Middleton beamed a wide smile as she joined Prince William at the nuptials of a close friend in England on Saturday.


The couple, both 28, who have been dating on and off for about eight years, lit up the English countryside just a day after getting back from a safari break in Kenya, Africa.

Middleton appeared every inch the princess-to-be in a bright blue dress, fitted black jacket, sky-scraping heels and a huge hat adorned with feathers.  "She looked so happy," an observer tells PEOPLE.

The prince was dapper in conservative tailcoat and purple tie, smiling for fans and photographers as he arrived with Middleton at the church in Northleach.

"They were both so relaxed, and she looked incredibly demure by his side," adds another observer, royals author Judy Wade. "She was very much his fair lady in her big picture hat. You get the impression it's the sort of wedding they would wish they could have – in Gloucestershire with friends, rather than a big formal wedding in central London."

Lizbeth

Rooney Mara has gone from sweet-faced star to bad girl Lisbeth Salander.  Mara, 25, is in Sweden shooting the Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's best-selling novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

In photos hot off the set, the actress – whose chestnut hair normally falls past her shoulders in gentle waves – is now sporting a severe raven-black cut with blunt bangs.  Add to that heavy eye make-up, a lip ring and boots decorated with duct tape, and Mara's transformation into the feisty computer hacker is complete

How to Wear the Tucker Tunic

ACE asked how to wear the Tucker tunic mentioned in a previous post...here's how some online stores styled it (same shirt, different prints):

Tucked in with leggings and booties?

With a bandage mini skirt?

These two are more my speed.

Or ask Hardee...she's the one who owns the shirt and I'm sure she wears it very stylishly!

The Buried Life - Robert Pattinson Episode

The Buried Life is one of my fav shows.  Its hilar and it always puts me in a great mood.

Next week the will be trying to steal a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair...no joke.

“We got dared on our Facebook page,” Jonnie recalled. “We asked them what they would dare us to do, because one of the list items is to accept a dare, and they said the world voted and that we should steal a lock of Robert Pattinson’s hair.”


The guys, always up for any challenge, went after the “Twilight” star.

“So, we went vampire hunting and did it,” Duncan said. “I’m not telling [where the hair is]. It’s in my pillow case.”

Tune in Monday at 10 on MTV to watch the episode.

Style Crush - Rashida Jones

I spotted this pic of Rashida Jones this morning and it caught my eye because one of my fav people in the whole wide world has this same Tucker tunic!

...it totally made me realize how much I love Rashida's style...I love that she mixes in hipster cool elements to make her outfits a little edgy!

She even supports AT&T.  Holla.

Love these colors and funky print for fall.

...do you think she might be looking for an assistant?

Weird News

I love weird news...here's the most recent story that caught my eye:

It took Robin Hendrickson and Erik Brandsness a few years to realize their cat, Stewie, was longer than most – and now they can say he's the longest cat in the world.

Last week, Stewie, a 5-year-old Maine Coon cat who lives with his family in Reno, Nev., was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's longest domestic cat.

"We realized that Stewie was exceptionally long about three years ago," Hendrickson told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "Everyone says, 'Wow what a long cat!' "

Stewie measures 48 ½-inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, and just nipped past the previous record-holder, a cat measuring just 48-inches.

BREAKING ANTHROPOLOGIE NEWS!!!

Amazing news for Anthropologie addicts (I know there's others out there besides me!): Next week, the eclectically chic chain store will open its first accessories-only boutique...

 The stand-alone store (which still doesn't have a name) will open its doors on October 29 in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and will offer 1,400 square feet of shoes, costume baubles, antique jewelry, hats, scarves, and belts. According to a company press release, "In true Anthropologie spirit, the store promises an engaging shopping experience full of surprise and discovery. We have taken care to hand-pick special, rare and unique items while also offering seasonal staples."

Translation? You'll find antique engagement and wedding rings from Doyle & Doyle, sexy shoes from Chie Mahara, cute and quirky hats by Eugenia Kim, and plenty of pieces designed both exclusively for Anthropologie and by their in-house design team. "We are creating a more intimate experience for our customer," says Wendy Wurtzburger, Co-President and Chief Merchandising Officer of Anthropologie. "It will be the equivalent of going down the rabbit hole and finding a magical world with more of what she loves--tactile and rich--wonderful to shop and ponder."

And don't fret if you're miles from Maryland--there are plans to roll out more Anthropologie accessories boutiques in the near future, though details on where and when aren't available quite yet.
