Da Vest

What is a sleeveless garment, often having buttons down the front, worn usually over a shirt or blouse? The answer is, a “vest.”

I love vests. You would think I was a hunter, I wear so many vests. I was driving to work today, in my vest, and I started thinking about my obsession with the vest. I feela little manly loving vests so much, but I have to remind myself that the vest is no longer just a part of the 3-piece suit. (Can I say the word vest one more time? I am on my OWN nerves right now.)

If you are still reading, I promise to limit my “vest” term usage from here on out…if possible. Here are some vest trends I am loving.

The Fur Vest. I DIE:

Rachel Zoe made a name for the faux-fur vest while keeping PETA happy the entire time. Her faux fur vests sell for under $100 on the QVC website/network.

The Puffer Vest. Another favorite of mine. Let’s say you had a few too many and some late night food the night before? Put on a puffer. Not only will you hide your bloat,you will still look stylish and you most definitely will be comfy. Oh dear, now everyone knows my “puffer wearing” secret. Next time you see me in a puffer, please don’t automatically assume I ate/drank too much:

The $425 Moncler Puffer. Most recently, Sarah Jessica Parker was seen cruising the streets of Manhattan with this on. My body needs this:

Gold Puffer, by GAP

The coolest vest. My favorite, and on my body today:

Isn’t this the best?

Ron Burgundy can have lamp, because I LOVE VEST. Hope your holidays are full of cheer and maybe a new vest or two.

Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I was going to hold off on posting this message, due to the nature of it's content and the fact that it may be old news, but I feel as though it's my civic duty. I have a public announcement to make: Mimi, formerly known as MARIAH CAREY, has a new CD out: "Merry Christmas II You" is now in stores.

That's right. Mariah has made a new Christmas CD. If you have any Christmas music sense at all, you and I both know that Mariah Carey's first Christmas CD is the best Christmas CD ever made.

I am a firm believer in not starting my Christmas music listening until the day after Thanksgiving, but I am shaking things up this year and starting early. Mariah's new CD just puts me in a jolly mood and makes me want to run home and put on my Mrs. Clause suit. (I wish I were lying.)

My initial thoughts- It's going to be another favorite. And don't worry, "All I want for Christmas" is on there! For Mariah's sake, I hope the new CD is a hit, due to the bun in her oven. (Someone has to raise the kid.)

Here are some other wonderful Christmas Selections. (I know I am leaving out many of my favorites.)

Hello.

It has been awhile, folks. Don't worry, ww&gs has not dropped off the face of the earth. It is true that one of us moved to OKC, and it is true that we have both started new jobs, but the future is bright my friends, and so are the glowsticks. We aren't going anywhere.

I am rounding up week 2 of my fabulous new job that has kept me out of Addison for a solid month. Yes, it is great. I even got to spend two weeks on Spring Break travelling to Edmond and Austin for ACL Fest and sleeping everyday till Noon. You can't beat that.

I don't have anything particularly amazing to talk about today. I am currently frustrated by several things (namely politics and the likes of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party), but have chosen not to air those grievances here. You can thank me later.

This weekend promises to be fun and spirited (pun intended). I love Halloween (sometimes). This year should prove to be particularly special as I get to spend it celebrating the upcoming nuptials of one of my dearest friends and her wonderful fiance. I love spending time with my wonderful friends :)

I don't have much else to say, but I promise to be around more in the future. I know you can't get enough of me.

Rhonda, I hope you are wearing sunscreen in Mexico.

Jamie, good luck tomorrow! Run like the wind!

Love,

SES

White Wine (yes they sold it in sports bottles) and Glowsticks at ACL.

Photoshop Me NOW.

Trying to visualize what you would look like Gisele Bundchen sized? (probably a little shorter, but just as thin, of course) Well, I have the tool for you:

http://www.empowermephoto.com/products

Send Empower Me Photo a current picture of yourself, and they will slim you down. The image will give you a a positive, empowering visual affirmation of a healthier, skinner you. The website will put your slimmed down image on magnets, wallet size photos or stickers.

Cheapest product on the website is $19.95, so I suggest you get with your friend that knows photoshop. But just think of the snacks you might miss by looking at your "Gisele" body magnet on the fridge.... hey, it's a start.

(This is a total "Monday, I had to much to eat over the weekend" post.)

Who's Space? MY SPACE.

Myspace, a place for friends....4 years ago. Last evening, I finally decided to delete my Myspace account. I never knew how difficult this process would be. To delete one's account, you have to confirm that you really want to take this action 2-3 times on the website, then you receive another email confirming that you really want to delete the account. Finally after confirming about 4 times, that yes, I am done with myspace, I got an email saying that my account would forever be gone in 24 - 48 hours.

It is ironic to me that the day after I give up myspace for good, they launch a new logo:

I sure hope myspace doesn't make a comeback. After logging on to my mypsace account and having not updated the information since 2006, I wondered how much had changed. To my surprise, not much. Still in love with the Today show, check. Still want to meet the Roloff's, check. (Little People Big World) Still like to "always look on the bright side of life," double check. Still wanted to own a bakery....well...... not so much. Ever since I lost my work's bake-off, I haven't been too confident in my baking skills. (this is a work in progress; move over martha stewart)

But how about the profile song? What would my profile song be today, if I still had my account? Well, that my friends, would depend on the day....However, this thought brought me back to a happy place. The days of pimping out my myspace background and adding music to my profile. And then there would be those days where the song wouldn't load...what a pity.

I have no idea where this post is going. All I know is, I no longer have a Myspace account. Goodbye Myspace, hello dignity, good to see you again.....and if I had to choose a theme song for today it would have to be the Cure's Friday song:

I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love.

What can Blu do for YOU?

While out on the tiz-own this past weekend, I noticed a young man with his pants pocket lit up. I immediately thought that he was packing glowsticks, so I confronted him. "Excuse me sir, your pocket is lit up, what are you packing?" Hoping to get a glowstick or two out of my terrible conversation, I was shocked to find out he was packing cigs. "Blu Cigs." What I had mistaken for a glowstick was actually a cigarette charger cartridge filled with 5 more cigs ready to go. Essentially, he was carrying around a battery pack in his pocket...full of electric cigs.

What are Blu Cigs?

Blu is the best electronic cigarette in the market, not only because of its unique flavors, but also because of our industry-exclusive pack. The pack charges your batteries on the go and allows you to carry around 5 cartridges together with two batteries in a high-quality plastic case that is similar to a normal cigarette pack in size. Additionally, our patented cartridge produces more smoke than other electronic cigarettes and provides a more authentic experience that feels and looks like traditional smoking - without the tar and carcinogens.

Blu is not a traditional cigarette and does not burn tobacco so it can be smoked in areas where normal smoking bans are in place like bars, restaurants, planes and offices. Blu produces water vapor that is odorless and disappears in several seconds. You should always check with the location before using blu.

While Blu is a cheaper, safer alternative for real cigs, it still contains some nicotine. As for me, I still feel like I was on an episode of the Jestson's. Electric Cigs? What will they think of next.

If e-cigs are old news, please let me continue to think i discovered something really cool. Thanks.

What does your Facebook Profile Pic Say About YOU?

Truth be told, I do not like my Facebook profiile picture, but I can't bear to update it, because it showcases me and one of my favorite people: Meredith Viera.

I was reading an article today about "what your profile pic says about you." I couldn't resist the urge to share this diagram with our loyal readers. I hope it is legible for your reading pleasures. If not, you can find the full story at http://www.brandflakesforbreakfast.com/.

I am suspecting I will receive a lot of "your friends updated their profile pics" in my newsfeed today.

Enjoy!
