Who You Love

I'm sorry, I'm not sorry because I love this couple and this video... to heck with Beyonce and her secret album (just kidding.. but I still haven't listened to any of it or seen any of the allegedly awesome video clips - gasp!) (click here or here for background on the writing on the song and casting of the couples in the video). 

I found myself smiling and getting chills (much like I did when I watched the Khloe and Lamar: Happily Ever After wedding on E! in the ADPi house). Clearly I'm too emotionally invested in celebrity couples, but ya know what? You love who you love. That's my only defense. Watch and enjoy. 

Flower Power

It's no secret I have a crush on Drew Barrymore. She's the epitome of a carefree, happy-go-lucky chick who is open about her past and optimistic about her future. All admirable traits. 

Among her accolades are being born into an uber famous Hollywood family, getting her big break in E.T., Charlie's Angels, being my favorite Cover Girl, and being hilariously funny in general. She also has a line of wine, a handsome hubby, a cutie daughter and a bebe on the way. So just when you thought she couldn't get any cooler... she goes and creates a make up line--Flower Beauty (of which I am now obsessed).

Now, I already knew about her line, because my mind weirdly only absorbs and retains knowledge of the celebrity nature, but an instagram from Nikki Reed about how fabulous the make up made me take the plunge. Nikki Reed is a new-found celeb obsession of mine I'll address at a later date, I'm sure. Nevertheless, the winter weather has brought with it the return of my "vanilla" skin-tone, and I figured, as long as I was buying new make up... I might as well try cheaper first.

Lo and behold the Flower Tinted Moisturizer, which I'm currently wearing (along with cream blush and berry lip butter). It's seriously amazeballs. And for only $10, I broke my ban of never venturing into Wal Mart again.

So if you're in the market for new beauty goodies, I highly recommend Flower. And basically anything Drew puts her stamp of approval on.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Beauty Blogging Bachelorette

Pardon my hiatus, quarter one has been a doozy. That said, no better way to usher in a new season (literally and figuratively) of posts starting with my all time favorite member of the Bachelorette (which wasn't hard to do, minus of course Lesley from the past Bachelor).

You guessed it. Emily Maynard finally has her own website so that freakish fans (like myself) who follow her every beauty recommendation religiously can have 24/7 access to her suggestions (because following her InStyle posts on current style weren't good enough). This might make me happier than when I finally found (and bought) her YSL lip color.

Perfect Pairing

Some might argue me on this one, but I find this to be the cutest thing since colored post-it notes. My favorite East coast socialite has paired off with everyone's favorite West coast gamer for what proves to be a real-life Summer/Seth story. (ahem, socialites of the upper east side don't date gamers unless it's on The O.C, or in this case... real life).

My adoration of both Blair's bitchy nature and Seth's witty banter makes this the perfect Hollywood pairing (except of course for Seth and Summer and Chuck and Blair).

If life were a Movie

...or a television show. 

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times, 

I, Anna Cox, am a celebaholic.

I'm addicted to any and everything celeb related (including pretending I'm famous/have a successful blog etc).

SOoooOO0oO0o..

If I could piece together everything in my life simply from my fav celebs... this is what it'd look like:

{Giuliana Rancic: her career, work ethic, and survival instinct}

{Rachel Zoe: her closet, vocabulary and celeb friends are major}

{Nicole Ritchie: street style, rocker husband, uniquely-named children}

{Desperate Housewives: neighbors that are your best friends}

{Leighton Meester: voice, tattoos, and view toward men ^-- oh wait, I already believe that}

{Sara Evans: long dark locks, singing voice, and house in Crestline Village}

{Katy Perry: kooky, adventurous, spunky, fearless personality--bet her wardrobe isn't half bad either}

{Emma Stone: physical and verbal humor, mega-watt smile, red hair}

{Kristen Wiig: writing chops, humor, ability to let it all go for the sake of good comedic moments}

{Kate Hudson: easy-going, laid back personality}

{Reese Witherspoon: aside from her name and Tenn. roots, her soft-spoken voice and acting chops}

{Gwyneth Paltrow: London life, acting chops, cooking talent, work ethic, singing voice}

But, honestly, what's stopping me? These fearless ladies no doubt had a tough road to get to where they re now; so, who's to say I can't be one of 'em. 

That settles that.
