Well, as it is Memorial Day, I should probably be writing about our amazing military personnel, the sacrifices made and the incredible families who support or have lost their loved ones.  But I have a problem.  Today, amidst all the observations, beautiful commemorations and heartfelt gratitude, college football reared its wonderful head.

The morning started with the announcement that Ohio State’s Jim Tressel had announced his resignation after a prolonged go-round with university and NCAA officials.  In the end, the truth came out, and Tressel’s multitude of lies and schemes were exposed to the world.  Then, word comes out that South Carolina’s oft-troubled, sometimes talented quarterback Garcia had been semi-reinstated into the program after many had believed his career as a Gamecock was done. 

As I ruminated about all of this while reclining in a lounger by the pool, I couldn’t help but think I still needed to write about my sincere gratitude to those who had made the ultimate sacrifice, until…

The Jenn Dress by Lil Bit Clothing Co

Lil Bit Clothing Co. unveiled The Jenn Dress.  That was it.  I couldn’t contain my excitement for SEC football any longer.  With a few joined seams and swatches of blue and orange, fashion trumped holiday and dictated that college football rule the day.  So, here’s to the many men and women serving overseas, and to my beloved orange and blue.  Gator Nation gives thanks for your service, even as we get ready to scream, “Go Gators!” this fall in The Swamp.

Everyone keeps saying how the 40s are the new 30s.  If that’s the case, I petition that the 30s are the new 20s.  And with that in mind, I’m not really 35 (gggrrr…that just looks ugly in print), but in actuality am 25.  I mean, my friends and I all agreed that when we hit 30 we would start counting backwards on our next birthday.  So, following that logic, I can justify 25, right?

If that rationale fails to convince everyone, here’s three other reasons 35 is not so bad. 

1. Reese Witherspoon

2. Candace Cameron Bure

3. Charlize Theron

If I can look as good as any of these three ladies (or at least half as good), then I’m satisfied that while the number looks bad on paper, it doesn’t on me.  Here’s to being in my mid-30s and for all the possibilities that the next five years hold.  Let’s just hope those five years don’t pass too quickly.  Forty sounds even worse than my current dilemma.  Cheers!

“InStyle” is one of my all-time favorite publications.  A fashion magazine, it speaks to today’s woman, crossing many demographics, income levels, etc.  But the best part of this glamazine is that is offers the average girl great tips and advice on how to make high (a.k.a expensive) fashion accessible and affordable.

A great example is their latest article on how to recreate some of Hollywood’s hottest accessories: http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/general/photos/0,,20276967_20476997_20926495,00.html

Not one to make the most of hair accessories, I must admit that this particular article is inspiring me to reconsider how I can incorporate feathers, ribbons and headbands into my daily wardrobe.  Maybe this article can help you, too!
