Are we ready for the scrunchie to come back?

My best friend and world renown cake baker Ashley "Ashlicious" Davidson posted a little something on my FB wall today.  It was something I was not prepared for, nor was I quite sure how to deal with this news. 

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.glamour.com%2Fbeauty%2Fblogs%2Fgirls-in-the-beauty-department%2F2011%2F07%2Fscrunchies-are-back-like-for-r.html&h=NAQAd32uT

Apparently, the scrunchie is back.  Go ahead to Glamour.com and read it for yourself.  Glamour's crack team reports that fine retailers from http://www.americanapparel.net/ to http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/ are stocking and actually selling the scrunchie.  Is this the end for me?  Am I now officially too old to shop at these stores?  Should I just go ahead and apply for my Chico's card now? (no, Dave Ramsey http://www.daveramsey.com/ would kill me.)





This is from today, folks.  Seriously.

 Whitney could possibly pull this look off.  If anyone could, it would be her.  She is the true ShopGirl on this team.  If you recall, I am just the lady trying to not wear sweats everyday.  Which, by the way, is working out for me.  None of them fit.  I find tent-like dresses to be more appropriate at this stage.  I digress.  Me, I would be that fat pregnant lady at Wal-Mart still wearing her scrunchie from 1995.  Someone would take my picture and post it to http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/,  not realizing how en vouge I actually was.



Circa 1995

I know I promised my next blog would be about a fun crafty way to hang your jewelry, but this was breaking news.  I am sure you understand.

Whatever Happened with the Navy Blue Dresses? And other pics I liked!

So, our first challenge, (which, on a side note, you readers have not submitted very many challenges so don't hesitate...)  finding navy blue dresses for a bridal party...

Here is how the party actually turned out!  Big shout out to Lang Thomas Photography.  He did a really good job of making my house look like some kind of model home for hosting wedding parties!



Different shades and cuts all looking good together!



Those nude heels looked great on everyone and really helped my short legs look longer but man, did they make standing in soft ground tough!



We all choose our own pearls to wear and of course I rocked out the Stella & Dot Charlotte Necklace

Cutest little bride ever!  (the dress had pockets, which I love!)

Belly and big Stella & Dot Vintage Cluster Ring!



Just a shout out to KY!

Stay tuned, in my next post I will be showing how to make your own supercute jewelry storage!



Fall Fever!

Do you know what I hate?  When it is 97 degrees in Louisville with a heat index of 500 and all the magazines I get and all the stores I go to are featuring all the Fall Lines.  Seriously.  My make up is melting off my face and you want me to think about jeans and a fur-lined hooded vest?  Another thing is, I love summer clothes so much that it is always kind of depressing for me to start thinking about sweaters.  It is way more fun to buy sun dresses on clearance than even think about a full price jacket.

This year I have a little bit of Fall Fever though.  OK I have a full on, Stella & Dot induced, (ok and maybe a little bit dilerious from the heat and my preggo body) raging Fall Fever!  I am so excited about the new line.  It is GorGEOUS!!  The best thing about Fall jewelry.  It does not make you any hotter to wear it now.  OK, I take that back, this jewelry will make you HOTTER, just not hotter! wink, wink.  I am going to post the selections that I already bought samples of and then next week when they are in I am going to pair them with outfits!  Take a look and then go to my website www.stelladot.com/meghantinker to check out the rest of the new line.  I promise you will see something you like.   If you are like me and you like too many things to buy them all for yourself, give me a call and we will put a Trunk Show on the books and you can get some treats for free.
