Gang's All Here

Blame it on the journalist in me, my love of all things Entertainment (E!), or just plain curiosity, but I don't consider my day "started" until a few things have happened.

These things include, but are not limited to, drinking a large cup of coffee, scrolling through the top news on E! Online, and hanging out with the girls. 

In this scenario, the coffee has 2 sugars and heavy cream, E News is the only legitimate form of news (an argument for another post, but celebrity coverage is one thing a gal can count on in this crazy life), and the girls are my blogger consultants.

So yes, now is the time to insert any joke about cyber friends. Good. Now that that's done, I'll introduce you to the ladies I check in with nearly daily (besides my TNB's).

Sally Ann and Molly from A Piece of Toast. Amy from Dallas Wardrobe. Courtney from What Courtney Wore. Mary from Happily Grey. Julia from Gal Meets Glam. Helena from Brooklyn Blonde. Mackenzie from Design Darling. Alicia from Cheetah is the New Black. Erin from Elements of Style. and last, but not least, Inslee from Inslee Illustrations.


So, meet the gang and see for yourself why they're so spectacular.

all I want in a big red bow

I promised more gift guides, and I'm delivering. Since I'm attempting to avoid shopping mall gridlock like the plague, here's what I've found on the web. Just in time to purchase and still have it arrive by Christmas, here are links to some fun, festive holiday gift guides:

{Into the Gloss Beauty Containers}

{Fabulous on a Budget's Leah's Wish List}

{Leah's list for boy-toy gifts under $50}

{Leah's list for besties under $50}

Surely, one of these lists will provide you with some clue as to what to purchase for your loved ones this season. Happy trails... may the odds be ever in your favor.

Happy Holidays

It's that time of year, ladies and gents--Christmas is finally on the way. Here's a little preview of what the Cox casa looks like (more pictures to come once we finish). In the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of my favorite gift guides from bloggers and websites and finally the Memphis Magazine gift guide (exciting, exciting, exciting).

My first gift guide is for those looking for the perfect holiday hostess gift or house-warming present, and it's from one of my favorite blogs (I've mentioned it before here and is under recommended sites here), Elements of Style.

Current Obsession: Elements of Style Blog

I seem to stumble upon fabulous blogs every day lately, but this one is seriously amazing. I'm in the process of re-doing my room and since I'm sick of buying sample paint colors only to find them subpar, I decided to search pinterest for paint colors with examples and names. 

That's when I found this:

By: Erin Gates

{like, hi, hello. even her business cards 

are gold, glittery, and amazing}

Along with the paint demo that will be greatly used in the upcoming weeks, her blog, twitter, and pinterest are filled with other gems like these:

And most importantly,

it's proof that even the classiest of ladies

love to have a little fun.
