    It was with great amusement that I read Rihanna's latest River Island clothing line was designed with her own "fat days" in mind. Hahahahahahaha! Only she (at a size 6) would consider a collection that includes hot pants and fishnets "fat day" wear. (Oh to be 20-something with a body like hers!) But it did get me thinking about how universal that feeling is. No matter what size you are, or what kind of shape you're in, some days you feel pretty and slim and others ... not so much.

    You know what "fat days" are, I'm sure ... those days when you feel extra frumpy and unlovely and bloated, whether it's because it's that special time of the month, or you've missed the gym (like say for the last four months), or you just overdid it all weekend. Lately, I've been feeling that way more days than not. But there are ways to pull yourself out of a fat-day slump. Here are my tricks and tips.

    Well, it's Hump Day, so there's no better time than right about now to discuss Kim Kardashian's monstrosity of a floral carpet dress -- with matching(!) gloves and shoes, high slit, and baby bump -- she wore to the Met Gala in NYC. There has since been an inundation of reports about what an amazing fail in fashion this dress was (be sure to check out ours!). And the backlash continues to bring all of us closer together ... come on, it's just not a good look.

    But no one had a greater response to this dress disaster than comedian and actor Robin Williams. As you can see from his hilarious tweet above, Williams pulled off the exact same look in 1993's Mrs. Doubtfire -- and needless to say, he definitely did it better! How amazing is that. It's practically the same exact oufit, and that's just scary.

    Wow, look who's all grown up! Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger attended a charity event wearing an ultra sexy and chic dress with lacy "thigh panels."

    Wonder what her daddy would think of that dress?! If he were anything like my husband, he wouldn't have wanted Georgia May to leave the house ... but from a mommy POV, I think she looks gorgeous. And it doesn't really matter what any parents think, because at 21, Georgia is, after all, old enough to vote, drink, and pick her own clothes!

    Clothing stores, let Target be your cautionary whale: do NOT, under any circumstances, name the plus-side version of one of your dresses after a large underwater mammal. That's exactly the unfortunate circumstance Target found themselves in when a sharp-eyed shopper happened to notice that the retailer offered a standard size dress style in "Dark Heather Gray" while the plus-size version was labeled as "Manatee Gray."

    Yeah. Awkward.

    It sounds like this was a legitimate mistake on Target's part, and if you ask me, the company did a hell of a job heading off what could have been a public relations disaster.

    Just when I thought I couldn't possibly feel any frumpier today, I came across this photo of Bachelorette Emily Maynard in leather pants -- and now I want to go hide from the world and wallow in the misery that is my style for a bit. She was spotted in the outfit while exiting Starbucks, and if I didn't know any better, I'd assume she was a reality TV star. (Wait, what?)

    OMG. Is there anything she can't pull off wearing? From short dresses to skinny jeans to skin-tight leather pants -- Emily looks great in everything. (And I'd probably hate her for it if she wasn't so darn sweet.)

    How many other moms do you know who can get away with wearing leather and still come out looking polished, put together, and sophisticated?

    Joke all you want about stereotypical soccer mom style or lack thereof -- "mom jeans," bulky hooded sweatshirts, maybe even some high-top sneakers -- but certain celebrity mamas have really been pushing the envelope in terms of what's acceptable on the sidelines.

    Britney Spears accidentally bared her butt when a gust of wind lifted the skimpy white shirt dress she wore to her sons' soccer game last week. This week, controversial country singer LeAnn Rimes chose a pair of shiny black Daisy Dukes and some high-heeled ankle booties for her stepson's little league game. What's up with stars dressing inappropriately for their kids' athletic events lately?

    This past weekend, I had what is probably best described as the single worst shopping experience of my entire life. I ventured into one of my favorite, go-to stores in the hopes of finding a couple of new dresses and/or skirts to perk up my spring wardrobe a bit.

    And when I first walked in, I was delighted with the selection of bright colors and different styles. I couldn't wait to try a bunch of pieces on and have a fun little fashion show while strutting my stuff in front of the three-way mirror outside of the dressing room the nice sales girl stuck me in. (What? You never venture out of the room so everyone else in the fitting area can tell you how great you look?)

    Since it's allegedly spring, many of us are allegedly thinking about doing some cleaning. I've started to change over my closets and, while doing so, happened to find a duffel bag full of things I haven't worn in years. Like, 10 years. And let's just say, if I'd had access to gas and a match, I would've been roasting marshmallows all over this bitch.

    In that vein, here are 5 fashions from the early 2000s that should never, ever, again be seen in the light of day.

    Well, last weekend I finally broke down and did it. I went through my closet and weeded out all of the clothes that I don't wear or don't fit me at the present moment, and I also tossed quite a few pieces I simply have no business wearing anymore because I'm a mom.

    OMG. I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth. But sadly, I meant them. There are certain things I just don't feel comfortable wearing anymore because I'm a mother.

    Like really short skirts and dresses. Um, can someone please tell me what on earth I was thinking when I purchased anything with a hemline shorter than knee-length in the past couple of years? (Hello -- I'm not 21 anymore.)
