One of the best challenges so far: designing a spring look for Heidi Klum to wear on the cover of Marie Claire. One of these looks (our faves) took the cake, but YOU be the judge.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think? And one of the few companies who actually successfully advertised their product and not some silly joke. Who’s ready to move to Paris?
The GRAMMYs red carpet featured a lot of frock stars, some rising stars and some falling stars. We loved seeing gams on the red carpet, but who wore it best and who’s shorty dress fell, well, short? You decide.
Hollywood’s finest did not shy away from color. Chrsitina Applegate looked like an ice princess (in a good way) in Roberto Cavalli, while Tina Fey redeemed her Golden Globes fashion misstep by looking the best we’ve ever seen her (stunning) in Ferragamo. Diane Kruger looks every bit the glamorous Old Hollywood movie star in Jason Wu (yes, the one who did Mrs. O’s gown).

Completing the red carpet rainbow? Giuliana Ransic in deelish orange, Lea Michele in green Catherine Malandrino and Anna Kendrick looking like a young Marcia Cross in Alberta Ferretti, a huge improvement from her Golden Globes Marchesa that swallowed up her petite frame.
It was refreshing to see prints on the red carpet, though they looked much better on the small screen, “live.” Meryl Streep, as always, marched to the beat of her own drummer in Balenciaga, while Anna Paquin looked young and fresh in Alexander McQueen.
Black needn’t mean boring, as proven by the electric Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a mermaid-style gown. Sandra Bullock had the best speech of the night, but did she have the best black dress? Or did Penelope reign supreme in a sexy L’Wren Scott? You be the judge.
Christina Hendricks opted for a tad more conservative look than her Golden Globes peachy Christian Siriano, but looks just as dazzling in all red. Mariah Carey toned it down mayjuh-ly since last week’s Globes where she revealed her own globes, looking foxy but ladylike in red. We like.
The stars rocked it out on the SAG Awards red carpet and they looked white hot doing it. It was, by far, the “color” of the night. Newbie and Glee star Dianna Agron stunned in Edition by Georges Chakra, proving that she is one to watch. Marion Cotillard showed how cocktail dresses should be worn in Elie Saab. Kate Hudson topped our Worst Dressed List at the Golden Globes in a too-stiff, 40-year-old virgin bride concoction, but bowled us over on the SAG red carpet in white Pucci. Cool and sexy, just like the Kate we know and love.

The newly engaged 30 Rock star Jane Krakowski also shimmered in white, proving that she will indeed be a beautiful bride (she need only wear this gown again). Katrina Bowden opted for a short, flirty frock tied at the waist with a black bow and Kyra Sedgwick closed the deal in a Vera Wang knockout.
It’s still raining like cats and chihuahuas in sunny (liars!) California, but no matter. It’s given me time to perfect my recipe for the perfect rainy day. It’s quite simple actually, with only two (yes, TWO) ingredients. Can you guess what they are? If you said a Snuggie and Nutella, then pat yourself on the back because you are right.
My darling Hubs gave me a Snuggie this Christmas. When I opened it, I believe my reaction went something like, “Oh. What? Oh. Thanks?” Despite being the cliché of a girl who is always cold (I’ve been known to have goose bumps in 85-degree weather), I never saw a Snuggie infomercial and thought I’ve got to have one of those! However, it ended up being an ah-mazing gift. And, despite looking like Chewbacca in it (mine is brown), the Hubs actually uttered these words, “I know this sounds weird, but that Snuggie really suits you.” I believe my reaction went something like “Oh. What? Oh. Thanks?” He meant the brown color, which brings us to the other perfect rainy day ingredient, Nutella. No elaboration needed there. I love that he got me a Snuggie to match my Nutella.
You may feel more like Chewbacca, but you'll look more like Princess Lea
Actually, come to think of it, there’s a third ingredient for the perfect rainy day: a good laugh.
For the funniest review I’ve ever read between a Snuggie, a Slanket and other competing blanka-robes, check out this article.
Laughs aside, I have a Snuggie and it’s super soft and long and luxurious. Perhaps it’s a second generation Snuggie? Um, actually I think it is, as I just found it online. It’s the Micro Plush Snuggie Blanket in chocolate brown. Yum.
For the funniest parody of a Snuggie, you must watch this video. It might even be better than Nutella (blasphemy I know).
Do you have a Snuggie? Do you love it? Would you never be caught dead in one? Have you been on a Snuggie Pub Crawl? Have an ingredient to add to the Perfect Rainy Day recipe? Please share in the comments below!
