The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs. Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker’s game and sees that she must fight back if she’s not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Before long, Mrs. Whittaker’s manipulation starts to work on John, and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away.

My favorite looks this week!
This week, my fave celebs stepped out in full effect, lookin gorge and fly...
First off, Tyra's jumpsuit was fly! love the grey and love that she switched up her lacefront - She looks great!
The Kardashians worked it on the Red Carpet at the Grand Opening of the new Dash Location in Miami... Khloe and Kim looked the way they usually do, but I loved the Mathew Williamson maxi dress on Kourtney! Gorge!
And Rih Rih (my absolute fave) worked it TWICE this week. 1st in her Ostwald Helgason Gypsy Cropped Jacket and blacks tights - a) her body looked on point!! b) I liked how she did her little Elvis thing with her hair too! And 2nd she worked it in her Jbrand jeans and Balmain Heels... Loves it!
Amerie's look was sort of average, but the leather vest upgraded it to the Nth degree! I saw a vest just like that at Costa Blanca and I think that Mathew Williamson did a moto jacket just like that for H&M...
Fergie's futuristic look was dope! I like how she paired neutrals with neon. I want to try and replicate that look somehow this summer...
Leighton Meister's short suit was perfect ...
What look do you like best???

WWW Career Tip: Being the Conscience of the Organization...
Many times women feel they need to conform to the organization’s rules. Don't forget that we can also make rules at work, and by challenging the status quo, we are actually demonstrating leadership. Don't be terrified of not following all the rules. Also, when you see others "bending" the rules, sometimes its just best to lock your mouth and keep it movin...
Check these examples from Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office
:
:Cynthia Cooper of WorldCom's financial auditing department reported misappropriation of massive amounts of money when her management told her to ignore inappropriate accounting procedures. Although she received praise from strangers for her courage, coworkers blamed and shunned her.
FBI staff attorney Coleen Rowley came forward with the truth about inappropriate handling of evidence of terrorist activity prior to the attacks of September 11th. Even though Time magazine named her one of the three "Persons of the Year" she was treated like a pariah by fellow FBI staffers.
The book isn't saying that women shouldn't act according to their conscience, moral and ethical standards, but they do point out that women are far more likely than men to point out variance between company policy and practice. Most men have no difficulty with bending the rules as needed when its a case of "no harm, no foul." Take this for example:
Jade was an executive assistant to the VP of Marketing at a large Entertainment Company. Her boss routinely arrived late for work and expected that Jade would "cover" for him. When the division President would call at nine-thirty, Jade would feel uncomfortable saying that her boss was "in a meeting" or had "stepped away from the desk". Similarly if her boss was late completing his expense report, he would change the dates to the current week so that he could be reimbursed for expenses incurred earlier in the week or month.
At first Jade would remind her boss of the rules, but she eventually got fed up and went to HR. HR, on the other hand, knew the norms of this company and "suggested" that she should be more cooperative with her boss if she wanted to have a successful relationship with him. Jade wasn't havin that and after some time asked to be transferred to another Executive. This caused Jade to be branded as a "prude" and she experienced difficulty getting promotions and transfers in the future.
The point of the story is this:
Weigh the benefit of pointing out minor infractions in company policy against the potential consequences. Life works this way too.... Everyone breaks the speed limit, or stretches the truth. The same thing happens in the work place. In Cynthia Cooper and Coleen Rowley's case, they saved lives and large amounts of money and the consequences were enormous for the company. But most of us, however, simply need to understand the realities of the workplace... and how blowing the whistle may come back to haunt you in the future...
My advice? Use your discretion. Don't rock the boat if you don't need to. So what if your boss is having an affair, or if he took a bunch of clients to the strip club. As long as he's not bringing you down with him, stay in your lane and keep it movin - you will get rewarded for it in the future because your boss knows that you've got his back. That's my two cents... but to each his own...

Have a great Friday!!
Melody Ehsani's Words...
Name: Melody Ehsani
Age: 29
Zodiac: Aries
Melody said: "One woman's success can only help another woman's success"
I say: First off, if you don't know who Melody is, you better ask somebody... Second, her words are the truth... There are so many women who's journeys and accomplishments have inspired me and hence paved the way for me. Secondly, mentorship is soooo important, its so easy to get busy and caught up in your own lives, but whenever possible, it is important to give back whenever you can. It could be as simple as responding to a facebook message from someone who wants to know about your career, volunteering for a day at a community center or tutoring or spending time with your kids or younger family members...
For those that are interested; Here is a video on Melody and her dope designer shoe and accessory line:

Relationships - When is it time to just get a Divorce??
I am unmarried, no children and very far from being in both situations... but lately I've been reading about the situations that women have been finding themselves in with their husbands and I can't help but put myself in their shoes...
After marriage, at what point do you just call it quits?? When is the breaking point? Adultery?? Having a child with another woman?? At what point would you just walk? If I had a Boy Friend, both adultery and another child would spell the demise of our relationship, but what if I was married and those things happened?? Or what if we had kids? Elizabeth Edwards (above) has stated and restated that she will not be leaving her husband under any circumstances, despite his affair and rumored "love child". And then there is Mashonda (Swiss Beatz Wife) who is allegedly making it difficult for their divorce to go through despite the fact that he clearly doesn't want to be with her anymore... (Hello: Alicia Keys??)
At what point would you file for divorce? Or would you ever file for divorce?
I feel like its so easy nowadays for people to just pull the trigger finger and site "irreconcilable differences". What is that anyway?? I feel like if two people are willing and able, they can work anything out.
Me??? If there was an Illigitimate child I'd bounce... Adultery??? It depends... There are a tonne of things that could lead to divorce, but I guess it depends on the person and the situation (i.e. kids, length of marriage etc. etc.) What would be your breaking point??
Ladies (and gents) speak on it.
Eva Marcille's words...
Name: Eva Marcille Pigford
Age: 24
Zodiac: Scorpio
Eva said: “I think God has strategically planned this step and the paces of my life... I like his plan and I’m going to go with it.”
I say: Do you know your purpose? No really? Do you?? I remember when I felt soooo lost and didn't know what to do or even why I was even here on Earth... It was stifling. I think I am starting to know what my purpose is but its definitely a work in progress. Eva's words really resonate with me, because she relates her life path to God. This is true because at the end of the everything is in God's hands. You just have to put in the work and be disciplined and it will fall in place.
Do you have a story about how you found "your calling"?? If so, please do share!

Beauty: Yellow Nails... Yay or Nay??
So I am leaving this weekend for a loooooooong overdue vacay to Vegas and for the last few weeks I've been thinking of the important stuff, you know, how I'm gonna rock my hair, what I'm gonna wear to the pool, what I'm gonna wear at night... lol - but even more important is, what colour should I paint my nails!!
My gf, suggested that I should do yellow because it 'pops' and is very Vegas and even though it doesn't match with everything, it 'matches', you feel me?? I've never done yellow, so I did a little bit of Internet creeping and this is what I found...
Rih Rih, Cassie and Lala have worked yellow nails in the past - I like how Rih's yellow smiley faces go with her brown cardigan and I loooooove Lala's Yellow tips, but I am not sure if I like how the yellow works with Cassie's outfit... The colour pops nicely, but I feel like the bright yellow seems out of pocket with her outfit... Or maybe I just don't like the shirt... Am I the only one??
Here are a few suggestions on yellow nail polish... I heard that Essie is the best, I actually have the L.A. Girls Flare one in the middle (you get those nail polishes at Urban Outfitters). And I am pretty sure that all of those nail polishes are under 10 bucks...
So what should I do?? Do you like the yellow?? Yay or nay??
Shout outs to Nebby up at the top looking cute/sexy and geeky at the same time in her flourescent yellow nails! ;D

The Hills Recap of Episode 8 "On My Best Behavior"
Here is Allison's recap of this week's Episode of The Hills!!“On My Best Behavior”
Heidi’s dsa is coming to town and she says her “real” dad is a real deal cowboy and he always travels with his gun. She tells Spence that this is his chance to redeem himself from the elopement and ask for her hand in marriage. When Bill (Papa Montag) comes to town Speidi goes to dinner with him and Heidi’s step mom and Spence actually hit’s it off with him… they got along so well it was almost eerie.
Spence and Bill go for a walk on the beach to have a more serious talk about Heidi and their relationship… He says that he knows Heidi’s mom will come around but it will take time and that he approves of the relationship. When Spence officially asks for her hand in marriage he says yes but reminds him, for the fifty millionth time, that he has a shot gun [and he’s not afraid to use it].
Later that evening Speidi go on a farris wheel ride overlooking the beach that Spence and Bill took a walk on earlier that day. They have a discussion about actually getting married once again and Heidi, trying to remain level headed, says they have a lot to work on before they can actually go through with the wedding. Spencer fills Heidi in on the fact that Bill gave his blessing and that he is willing to try and call a truce with LC so that she can be apart of the wedding party… he’s basically willing to do anything to make it happen. After a long conversation and being stopped on the top of the ride far too long Spence whips out a huge ring and proposes for the fifty millionth time and Heidi accepts but not before stressing the fact that it’s “til death do us part” and not “til divorce do us part”, which is entirely true.
Now to get the gist of what was happening with everyone else I’ll start with the closing scene when Heidi and Steph sat down for a “catch up” brunch. Heidi asks what Steph has been up to, most recent news first. She starts off by saying that LC fired her from the job and she thought it was a sadistic game that Kelly was playing by getting her to fire her. I personally think that LC took the risk knowing that was the consequence and Steph let her down.
Steph goes on to tell Heidi about the “date?” with Chris and Sean. (Some band members they met because of a video shoot Audrina had.) Sean had a small crush on Steph so Audrina pulls a fast one with Chris to leave them at the table so they could talk in privacy. When they get to talking Sean admits that he has a live in girlfriend but when he’s on the road there are temptations… now I don’t wrong him for telling her the truth but the way he said it made him a total lame. Steph did the right thing when she peeled out of the place like ASAP!! ( I thought this was rather comical) SMH…
LC sat down with Brody to give her update and she told him about how she had to fire Steph and how she actually cried in front of everyone and she says that she doesn’t think that she’s ever made anyone cry before… I can think of a few times, ie Jen Bunny and Heidi, but I suppose they don’t count cause they did her wrong. LOL!
We know the season finally is going to be the big wedding but do you think that, after Spence’s plea, LC will really be apart of it? I say that Lauren and Heidi’s friendship ended too long ago to be mended and it’s just weird if she were to be her maid of honor… like seriously, can’t Heidi find any other friends?? I don’t see how she could really take an active role in the wedding party… attending the wedding, on LC’s part would be enough.
Until next week y’all!!

Rihanna wears a Perfecto Jacket by Jeremy Scott...
I just love her... She's gorgeous!!
Love the Nike Blazers and love the jacket! The design on the jacket is by a famous grafitti designer... I can't remember his name now!!! Can someone tell me? He did chalk drawings of men that look like they are dancing...
(UPDATE: The artist is Keith Haring - an artist and social activist of the 80s whose chalk drawings in New York City Subways responded to NYC Street Culture. And the jacket she's wearing is a Perfecto Jacket by Jeremy Scott...) Loves it!!
Anyhow, thought you guys might be interested... Her face looks flawless...
PS - I'm obsessed with Rih Rih... She's a fellow Pisces (born the day after moi)... I can't help it...
Rihanna's Look, Do we like it??
So Rih Rih was spotted out recently and I am not 100% sure about her look. I was talking to Tanya on the phone and she thinks that everything but the shoes are dope. I think I agree with her, and Rih Rih's hair also looks a little off kilter...
So Ladies?? Did the shoes MAKE or BREAK the outfit? And what do you think of her hair?? (I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt on the hair - I heard it was windy in NewYork yesterday)...
Enjoy the Canadian Holiday!

Anna Wintour's Words...
Name: Anna Wintour
Age: 59
Zodiac: Scorpio
Anna said: "Sunglasses are my armour"
I say: During her Sunday interview with 60 minutes, Anna Wintour revealed that Sunglasses are her armour... I.E. f she's bored at a fashion show, nobody will notice behind her huge shades... I like sunglasses for similar reasons... While I am working on this, I hate making eye-contact with people sometimes, but when I rock shades, I get a confidence boost and can talk to anybody... And I also have a HUGE staring problem and I love staring at people behind my shades... I used to make fun of people that wore sunglasses indoors too, until I started doing it (they could have their reasons! lol)... Am I the only one??
Happy Canadian Long Weekend people!
PS - I know that this picture is not of Anna Wintour - Its actually Snejana Onopka doing an photographic impersonation of Ms. Wintour for Vogue Paris. The alternative picture wasn't as flattering so I decided to go with the imersonation! Do you like it better?!
For those of you who missed her 60 minutes segment, here are a few outtakes:

Zodiac: Aquarius
Oprah said: "Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not"
I say: I'm happy to have more words of encouragement from Lady O, and this week is an important topic;
How many people do you know with "TRUE INTEGRITY"... Like someone who would anonomously pay off someone's bills or help someone out, not letting them know you did it or telling anyone that you did. Or someone who is very kind to someone prior to knowing who they are or what they can do for you... There aren't too many people around like that... Do you know anyone like that? If so, share your story with us on the blog through the comments section.

WWW Career Tip: Sharing too much information
Women tend to be the ones to reveal complicated personal situations that end up getting thrown back in our faces in the future. In the book Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office, the Author outlines the following story:
There was a woman who was experiencing performance problems on the job. At a one-on-one with her boss, she broke down crying and told a long, involved story about how her mother was dying, her sisters wouldn't assume any responsibility, the burden fell on her to make all the health-care decisions, her husband was out of a job, etc.. etc..
Was her story relevant? Yes it was. But it was more than her boss needed to know and gave her boss the impression that she couldn't handle stress well. Anyhow, a project came up that the boss knew would be stressful and the project was given to another person because her boss didn't want to take the risk of giving it to the employee in question. Long story short. Sharing personal info isn't in and of itself a mistake - its sharing TOO MUCH info that can come back and slap you in the face.
Some things to remember:
- When a personal situation is impacting your ability to perform on the job, be honest, but be brief. Its enough to say, "I'm going through a rough time right now but my job is important to me. I'll work on paying closer attention to the details".
- Be selective about the personal info you share at work and who you choose to share it with. My motto is: Don't tell anyone NATHAN unless it is related to work, or friendly talk about the "Wife & kids" etc...
- Although this sounds contradictory, don't entirely withhold personal information. It makes you look secretive or dishonest. Sharing appropriate amounts of personal info enables others to see the human side of you and, in turn, builds relationships.
- If you're a manager or supervisor, be even more careful. The book has a great rule of thumb:"Be the best friend you can be to your employees, but don't think for a minute that they're your best friends"
I hope that these tips help! Ladies... Can you relate???
xoxo
