The Perfect Valentine's Day Necklace Duo


Do you LOVE?  Perfect for layering!  I received both of these pieces today and they are tee-niny and so delicate.  Each is $49 and are gold plated over sterling silver (read = superior quality).  Shop HERE at my Stella & Dot shop for your Valentine's jewels!  

SAG Awards Best/Worst Fashions

It's Monday people!  I've really got blogger's block because I can't think of ANYTHING to blog about. So, when all else fails I'll give you my best/worst red carpet picks.  I just love red carpet fashion.  It's exciting to see what the celebrities choose to wear, do their hair, and how they bejewel themselves. Agree or disagree if you wish!  
Best Dressed

Mila Kunis

Eva Longoria

Lea Michele

Sofia Vergara

Hillary Swank

Sarah Hyland (Modern Family)

Hailee Steinfeld (Perfect for 14!)

Claire Danes

Angie Harmon


Worst Dressed

Melissa Leo (Girlfriend, find yo'self some Spanx.)

Cara Buono (Too much ruching and poufing.)

Jenna Fischer (Too baggy and maybe in a different color?)

Helena Bonham Carter

Christina Hendricks (Too dark and dramatic.)

Mariska Hargitay (It's like prom, but for a 40 year old.)

Jayma Mays (Was expecting better from her.)

Sugar Babies

This post is totally random for me, but after researching baby shower cakes and seeing some seriously heinous examples online, I thought it fitting to share.  I first started off by googling "twin baby shower cakes" and then went straight for the "bad baby shower cakes."  It turned from double the joy to double the scary.  Ashley if you are reading this (my preggo friend expecting twins), I promise none of these examples will show up on the dessert table!  Hilarity shall now ensure (I hope).  Let's face it, I'm a Cake Wreck wannabe.  Have laugh.

First I found baby butts detached from their bodies.  Literally swimming in icing, somewhere...


Then there was the one with some twin babies sitting on some cabbage...


And the one with the Christmas clay-mation looking baby boy twins swimming in um, bubbles?
This brings mirror images twins to a whole new level. 


And I think I speak for almost everyone that realistic sugar babies are indeed, scary.


Then I just went for it.  "Bad baby shower cake."  And here they are.  Oh wait, and it's not all of them because some of them were just too darn nasty.

Because nothing says classy like red, white and blue long acrylic nails.  On a bare belly.  With boobs.  That you can eat. 


Unless your baby is Oscar the Grouch, I would avoid this one.


And nothing could be scarier than a looks-like-a-real-baby-but-isn't cake.


And while we're on that same issue...  A feast for your eyes.  Baby Ghandi perhaps?
Or Benjamin Button.  Not sure which.

Lukella, I am your father.


There are no words.


Go ahead.  Take a bite.


And the time they attached fondant to a baby doll.  Gotta cut costs somewhere. 


I'm not sure exactly where this one starts or ends.
