Forgive my absence around here- I've been a little busy lately, shooting season two of I'll Take That Dare (which I can't WAIT for you to see).
I finally read over the many comments left on the last post I wrote, about the topless woman I saw out shopping when I was on location in New York last week. Some of you expressed disbelief that I actually saw such a thing, which made me laugh because the very next day, I saw ANOTHER topless woman wearing a backpack AND A PENCILED-IN MOUSTACHE. This happened, y'all. A year from now, topless woman will be everywhere and you'll laugh wryly about the time you doubted the fact that I saw what I saw.
However, this post isn't about toplessness. This post is about something else I saw everywhere in New York. Something even more exciting than bare breasts. And that something is ...

Carrie Underwood is one of the few celebrities who looks gorgeous no matter what she wears -- even if it's one of those boxy, mid-length sweaters most of us were happy to leave behind in the '80s.
Forever 21 is selling a new line for a great cause and not only is it inexpensive, but it's adorable. F21 joined forces with The Samburu Project, which is a non-profit that works to end the water crisis. A crisis we in America don't have to deal with but 4,500 children in the world reportedly die each day due to the lack of clean, safe drinking water. The issue is huge in Samburu, Kenya, and Forever 21 is donating 10 percent of sales from this special line called Give to Love. Love to Give so they can drill wells to bring clean water to those in need. 
Seeing the lovely Emily Blunt in this bold red dress this past week just reminded me of the fact that the lace dress has really become a wardrobe staple.
Spring is totally the best season for fashion, wouldn't you agree? Come mid-April, you're at a breaking point where you're beyond sick and tired of cardigans, sweaters, and dressing like a schlub -- and suddenly there are bright clothes and accessories galore everywhere you look. It's like an early Christmas! You know whose spring look I love? Dianna Agron. The Glee star was out and about yesterday in NYC looking fab (doesn't she always?) in her cozy seasonal essentials.
For any woman who has ever felt like a swipe of lipstick instantly brightens up her day or the perfect mascara makes her not only look but feel more awake,
I used to love to go shopping. I would go after work, spend as much time as I wanted, and satisfy my shopping fix. Then I got married. We started saving money for the future and I had a husband who loved to cook and I loved to get home after work in order to eat his delicious cooking. I still shopped, just not as much. Then I had kids. My shopping excursions became scarce and I became the best damn online shopper I could be. Because if you ever tried shopping with twins (or even just one kid), you know what I mean. It's impossible. And you end up buying something you return because you weren't in your right mind when you purchased it in the middle of that delicate balancing act of keeping the kids happy and finding the perfect outfit while the countdown is on to tears and shrieks to return to the food court for more ice cream.
