Rain, rain, go away...

It is pouring here in Missouri today. P-O-U-R-I-N-G. And they are calling for horrid storms tonight. I actually love listening to storms and watching the lightning - when I am safe in shelter and do not have to worry about tornadoes and hail. BUT I hate tornadoes. HATE them. So I hope they stay away. As a child, I used to be so scared of them I would actually cry after the weatherman told me there was just a tornado watch, not even a warning, just a watch. Yes, I was a bit dramatic, even back then.

So, pray for me that they do not come and visit my great state. I have been through two of them, but they were nothing too intense, and I have no desire to make like Twister and chase them around.

Anyway, back to rainy day fashion. I am working on a college campus right now, and it's been raining a lot lately. Everyday, as I walk from the parking garage to my office, I pass lots of college students. Things have not changed much since I did the college thing - most people wear pj's and sweats to class because they can hop out of bed at 7:50 and run to class before it starts at 8 a.m. One thing has changed. EVERY girl is now wearing little wellies or rain boots in a rainbow of colors and patterns with their sweats tucked into them. (Sadly, I couldn't find a picture of that, but use your imagination.)

Now, rain boots have gotten super cute, so I would have embraced that completely as a student, but with sweats? The combo is not really that flattering. I guess it's cute in a college-student kind of way, but not all that fashionable. Your thoughts?

Oh, those college days. I certainly do sometimes miss them.

Check out these sweet boots - they are leather but rain-ready. I would love a pair of these, but they are $325...

Here's another great pair that are a bit more stylish than the rest! At $116, I just might consider it.

I want...

If you don't remember, I am somewhat obsessed with swimwear. Today, I am wanting to be on a beach somewhere so I don't have to think about the BIG decision I need to make by the end of business today. I would wear this sassy suit by Trina Turk with these kick-a$$ hot pink shoes and forget about the fact that I have to be a big girl and think about what I want to do with my life... Le sigh.

These sets of heels & suits are the runners-up.

Who wants to escape for some sun & cocktails with me?! xoxo, gg

Celeb Style Candy

Nicole Richie is wearing one of my favorite go-to outfits - white T & broken-in jeans.
Post-baby, she still looks fabulous.

I love Sienna Miller's belt and bag.

That purple color is fantastic on Kelly Ripa, and the neckline is so fun.

I am not a fan of Renee Zellweger's hair, but that dress is beautiful.

I really like Ellen Page's look. She often gets it right.

Hopefully, she can steer away from growing up too quickly like many young Hollywood stars.

Ginnifer Goodwin is heavenly in this ivory frock.

I don't know if I have ever seen Ashley Olsen this classy, or healthy.

Carrie Underwood always looks good. She reminds me of Barbie, but this one almost seems a bit matronly.

I am digging Brittany Murphy's super cute, simple dress. I loved her in the movie Uptown Girls.

That electric blue skirt is perfect for Amanda Bynes. I can see why - it is from her line Dear by Amanda Bynes.

Christina Ricci is good at old Hollywood glamour.

This dress of Gwyneth Paltrow's is so chic!

I love K. Heigl, but what the heck happened here. Maybe InStyle liked it, but I think it's too outrageous. Your thoughts?

On another note, I want Grey's Anatomy back!

It's been a long time...

My life has been crazy, but I am back.

I think.

One of these might help.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie make room for twins!

When this pic of Angelina Jolie at the Spirit Awards surfaced, the whole world realised that no, she hadn't forgotten her Trinny and Susannah panelled pants. She was, indeed preggers.

Well dear readers, that very same baby bump must have got a whole lot bigger over recent weeks - Brangelina are having twins! One boy and one girl, according to a very good source (well, OK, a US gossip site).

Even with two little 'uns inside her, I'm sure Ange will still look every inch as stunning as she does here in this floor-length evening gown (with elasticated waist, natch).

But I just can't get my head around Brad. There he is looking, if anything, more sex god by the year. Check the Steve McQueen shades, ruffled hair and quirky 'pants'.

But when was the last time you met a dad who got more sexy as the number of his brood increased? All the dads I know all look like death due to lack of sleep, nappy changing (NOT a glam activity) and toddler chasing...

Dads of the world take note! Fatherhood is not an excuse. We want more sexy dads!

JOLIE & PITT'S TWINS WILL BE FRATERNAL

ANGELINA JOLIE will give birth to twins in her late mother's native France, if the latest U.S. news reports are to be believed.
Celebrity magazine In Touch reports the actress and partner Brad Pitt are expecting a boy and a girl.
The couple has yet to confirm the baby news, even though Jolie's ever-growing belly suggests she's with child, and their publicist is offering a firm "no comment" on the latest reports.
According to In Touch, Jolie was overheard cooing about her unborn babies on the set of Pitt's new movie, Tree Of Life, in Texas, telling one pal the little ones are "kicking and moving".
A source tells the publication Jolie and Pitt were overjoyed when they heard they'd be having twins after a visit to their obstetrician/gynaecologist Dr.
Jason Rothbart last week (14Mar08).
The insider says, "Because she took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They're ecstatic. She can't wait." The source adds, "She's (Jolie) out of breath a lot, but she loves every second of it (pregnancy)." The couple is reportedly set on having the twins abroad - and France is a favourite destination, according to the publication.

Angelina Jolie won't hurt Jen Aniston's feelings

Angelina Jolie deliberately cancelled an appearance at a pre-Oscars fundraiser co-hosted by Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston last month, because she didn't want to hurt the Friends star's feelings, her brother James Haven has claimed.

Jolie, her boyfriend Pitt and Aniston were all due to attend the sixth annual Night Before charity event on the eve of the Academy Awards, but the Mr. and Mrs Smith stars were noticeably absent from the glitzy fundraiser, which was also attended by Hollywood superstars including George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

And while Internet gossips claimed a pregnant Jolie and Pitt had pulled out of the event for fear of a showdown with Aniston, Haven insists the rumours couldn't be further from the truth.

He says, "Angie is an incredibly strong but also incredibly sensitive woman, and she would always be careful when another woman's feelings are concerned.

"She'd go out of her way to make sure there was no situation that would hurt another woman because of her, and I'm talking about a situation like one of Brad's ex partners or his ex-wife."

Pitt and Aniston were married for five years before splitting in January 2005. Less than three months later, Pitt began a relationship with Jolie, who he had met on the set of Mr. and Mrs Smith - but both stars denied media speculation of an affair, insisting they only got together after Pitt and Aniston separated.

Jolie and Pitt are now said to be expecting their second biological child, although reports have yet to be confirmed. They already have a daughter, Shiloh, and three adopted kids: Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara.
