Pretty Obsessed

Archive for the ‘My Thoughts Exactly’ Category

I have long hair, it comes down to my waist … it is straight and dark and thick. I get tons of compliments on my hair, and I do absolutely appreiciate and acknowledge that I am lucky to be able to grow out my hair and it still be healthy. But I am bored … I feel like I have pretty much had the same look for a long time, and even though no one else is complaining, quite opposite actually…everyone else wants to know my secret, but that’s other post, mostly having to do with genes and how-to care for hair. But anyhow…I have been itching for a classy new, easier to manage look. And while I’m at it, I can use a pair of balls to get me to go through with it.

I know! I know, trust me, I know hair grows back, and if my hair grows back fast, why not just do something new and fun and give myself that makeover that will make me feel like a whole new person. And do it for the New Year?!?!?! Perfect timing right.

Well I might just do it, I think it is time…and I have been eye-balling the medium length bob haircut for sometimee now. The look is so chic, sexy, fun, and best of all easy to manage! I just love the medium length bob hairstyle… I would ask my stylist to make the hair hit right above my collarbones! *dreams about new look*

Life got in the way okay. That is the truth, so much has happened this passed year, I simply could not get myself to sit down and add a new entry to my very public diary. I miss this … between getting married and building an empire (a girl must dream big) there have been lots of little things that have kept me away from being PrettyObsessed with all things pretty…

I wanted to come back strong, but instead…I feel like sharing with you all how much I miss watching Mad Men now that I’m all caught up with the seasons. There are many reasons to love the show! Great writing, superb cast, awesome theme song, deeply troubled characters, the awesome plot … I can go on and on, but what I am really missing is the inspiration I use to get from the very put together women on the show. There were the ambitious  career beauties, the bombshells, the mistresses, secretaries and wives …and then there was Betty.

Getting ready to do anything suddenly meant looking as put together as the imperfectly perfect former Mrs. Betty Draper. I want to be draped in the dresses worn during the 60′s, not have a single hair out of place, always have my makeup done perfectly, flawless nails and always use proper housewife etiquette when in the company of another human. *SIGH* until next season…

above: the fabulous Betty

I have always had a taste for the classic, tailored, subtly sexy style. And this socialite better known as Olivia Palermo has this kind of keen fashion sense. The first I had heard of her was when my fiances friend said I remind him of this girl from an MTV show called The City. So of course I googled her, and I was relieved and flattered. She became the sole reason I would tune in to watch the show. Her awesome taste in clothing and accessories, not to mention her hairstyles and overall perfectly polish look, was worth watching a crappy “reality” show for.

If I could switch closets with anyone out there, it would definitely be with this socialite! She does tend to have some fashion misses, things either look too large on her or she will make an over the top unflattering choice. But there is no denying that when Olivia gets it right, the sartorial results are out of this world.

On a side note, she seems to have rubbed off on her current boyfriend. Personally I like my men to look like men, he just seems to try too hard, definitely  not my cup of tea. And I love me some tea!

Gq (Gentelmen’s Quarterly)  is a men’s magazine that has been around since 1957, said to be the male equivalent to vogue. I subscribe to vogue and I have yet to see a cover that has a hot guy Photoshopped so perfectly for my viewing pleasure. Every now and again they have a girl eye candy on their covers, usually fully dressed unlike the fairer sex who sometimes are strategically covered by a small piece of cloth or inanimate object.

Knowing how much each photo is photoshopped barely takes away from the beauty of it. Here are  some of the best…

and how can i leave out the sexiest of them all…the men must have loved it…

I have forgotten how gorgeous Halle Berry is, not sure when I stopped paying attention. She is just amazing, at 44 she looks great, hell she looks great period. She had a child, and has a man haircut and still looks better than 90% of women out there…Here’s to taking care of yourself and keeping yourself together.

They have what we all want, love, long working marriages,  success, wealth and their health! The best part is they  are all seemingly happy…and doing what it takes to keep it that way!

But she is perfectly good at it! None other than my current girl crush, Ms. Rihanna!

It’s been a while…a very very long while. I’m back…back because my sister insists that I should post from time to time. She says she really misses all the inspiration she used to get from my posts. That is pretty sweet…she is obviously prettyobsessed

I have been busy with wedding planning (hence the gorg photo), and my business…but today i am feeling a bit obsessed. I plan on playing catch up…there will be MANY posts to come.

Stay tuned!

Cute yes, maybe even beautiful…sexy? Sure why not…But sexiest woman alive??? Minka Kelly is the Sexiest Woman Alive according to Esquire Magazine.Um… if they say so. I on the other hand am a bit puzzled, and would like to see  who the runner ups were.

Whether the majority agree with me or not, she must be doing something right as far as upkeep goes. Here she is at her best!

I’ll admit, she’s easy on the eyes… but really?! sexiest woman ALIVE?

Can’t Wait… meow… countdown has begun.
