Shaunie

How absolutely gorgeous does Shaunie O'Neal look in this color-blocking trend.  From the dress, to her hair and make-up she looks amazing.

Double rainbow!

How gorgeous is her make-up, in particular her eyeshadow!

Get your ass up!

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this ad!

Theory

I want these Theory pants; They're fabulous.  If you know anything about Theory you know that they make a nice long inseam for us taller gals.  I'm getting mine from Saks, plus they are shipping for free (code: SHIPJULY) if you spend $150 or more.

Nicole kills Kim

Calm down I'm just talking in the looks department.  Nicole Scherzinger was performing her new single on SYTYCD and I thought she has to be the most beautiful woman in the world (or maybe second most to JLo).  Everyone goes on and on about Kim Kardashian, and while she is very pretty she's got nothing on Nicole.

Sun Kissed

My sister is getting married Saturday and I am responsible for doing my own make-up.  I'm not freaking out because I've chosen an inspiration:  bronze and kissed by the sun.  Here are some samples I found that I will of course toned down.

Skin is in

My Saturday night look was the talk of the evening.  Something about showing skin that makes people crazy.  This top is from Bebe and I'm so in love with it!  Thanks to Stylish Me for convincing me to go with white pants; that topped it off!

Picks for CL

So I guess Shaq's ex-wife Shaunie O'Neal is trying to be the next Rachel Zoe (so-to-speak).  She has a top picks list with Chinese Laundry, and if you know anything about Shaunie you know she's the most stylish of all the basketball wives.  From now through July 22nd, if you choose something from her list you can get an extra 20% off by using code SHAUNIE20 at check out.

I hate Beyond The Rack! cont'd

Coincidentally they respond that the shoes are in their warehouse today:

"Thank you for contacting BTR. We sincerely apologize for the delay.

Your shoes have been received from the supplier and are currently being processed in our warehouse. They will soon be packaged for the next scheduled pickup with our courier. An email notification will be sent to you with the tracking number. You will be receiving the shoes shortly and will hopefully enjoy wearing them for the rest of the summer!

While we do our very best to ship orders in a timely fashion, merchandise arriving from international suppliers may take longer to be received at our warehouse due to custom clearance delays.

Your shopping experience is important to us and we will make our best effort to expedite the shipping process."

I hate Beyond The Rack!

Below is the letter I felt compelled to write to them:

"I am writing to express my frustration with Beyond The Rack (BTR).  This is the second time I've placed an order with BTR, and this is the second time it has taken over six weeks to receive my order.  I placed this second order on May 20, 2011 for Black Adrienne Vittadini Wedges.  I find it completely absurd that a simple shoe order could take such an outstretched length of time to deliver.  As it stands, by the time the summer shoe gets to me, the season will be over and I will not have the opportunity to wear the shoe.  If you have any sympathy at all you will refund me the full amount and move on."
