IFTIT!!!

 For those of you not up to date on your college football acronyms that means, It's Football Time in Tennessee! Woo hoo!! I hope y'all are all enjoying your Saturday college football and your teams are winning. I think I need these two items to wear while I cheer on the Vols.

 

Fashion Friday: The VMA's

Yeah, I know for someone who was so disappointed in the VMAs you'd think I wouldn't be posting on them twice in one week. I wasn't planning on posting anything, but I have just been obsessing over how much I loved Taylor Swift's dress. I've decided to channel my inner Joan and give you my opinion on the VMA's red carpet. Drum roll please...

BEST DRESSED:

Taylor Swift, Herve Leger by Max Azria gown

Hello, T-Swizzle!! This whole look is ah-mazing! She does not look like a teenager singing about puppy  love, she looks like a glamourous Hollywood starlet. From a distance she almost looks like Charlize Theron. I absolutely love this dress. I will say, this does look a little more Oscars than VMa's she's rocking it. I guess when you've got an ex in the audience you have to go all out.

 

Jennifer Hudson, Christian Dior

I think this is a great dress. She looks pretty, the outfit is flattering and the leather gives it more of an edge that is appropriate for a show like the VMA's.

 

 Shailene Woodley, Pucci

I think she is adorable. It's a cute outfit, it's suitable for her age and for the VMA's.



 

And now the fun part: WORST DRESSED

I won't put the designer names because let's face, they're probably embarassed. 

 

Allison Williams (I'm sorry but who are you?)



Don't get me wrong, pretty girl. But seriously, did you just partake in your first communion? This dress is more suited for a 9 year old.

 

Katy Perry

So, are they making The Nanny, The Movie and you were cast to play Fran Fine?

Horrible dress, horrible hair. If I were caught wearing that, I'd have that look on my face, too.

Lady Gaga

It looks as if someone killed her half their work is done because she's already wearing a garbage bag. Now you just need to hide the body.

JWoww and Snooki

                                    

You know I just don't get it. These chicks have made LOTS of money. I mean a lot. I realize they're not in the same category as Taylor to have designers want you to wear their stuff, but they make enough to drive over the bridge from Jersey to Saks or Barney's and buy a nice designer dress off the rack. These dresses look like trashy prom dresses. Seriously, girls. More Neiman's, less Rainbow.

 

 

Now to set my DVR to record Fashion Police. Gotta see if Joan and I are on the same page. 

Wreath Making

Last week I flew to my parents' house for a girls' weekend with my mom. My dad was out of town on a mission trip, and while he did come home early we had a great time. I spent Saturday introducing my mom to Downton Abbey and making a Pinterest Craft.

You know that handy dandy pin on Pinterest that says you can make pool noodles and turn them into foam wreaths? Well, it works. My mom had a whole box in her garage that didn't sell in her yard sale. Lucky us! We had to cut a chunk off so it made a round shape instead of an oval. Then, we duct taped them together.

Me being silly with our "wreaths"

Then we wrapped them with burlap ribbon. One roll was exactly enough.

 

 

Here it is all wrapped.

 

We used an ice pick to poke holes in the foam and then we poked silk fall foilage in them. My mom had a whole box so all we had to buy was the ribbon.

Ta da!!! Mine is on the left.

 

 

My pants after all the burlap ribbon.

 

Since we had the flowers and the noodles. all it cost to make them was the $4 for the ribbon, not bad eh? Now that I know the pool noodle trick I will be making lots more wreaths. I made these last fall:
