Emma Stone covers Elle Magazine for July

Okay...now I adore Emma Stone. She is witty and beautiful, sassy and has charisma oozing out her ears. But I have to say that I am a little disappointed in the Elle Magazine Editors. While I know that Emma looks very different with her new blonde locks, in this picture she almost doesn't look like herself. When I first looked at this cover, I thought this was Elle Fanning. I hate to see that Magazines are trying to make such beautiful women so perfect that they end up touching them up and changing a little here, a little there and at the end, the models don't even look like themselves! The unique beauty has become generic. With this cover, I think they did something to her eyes, which is a bad move because that is her major signature facial feature. Emma, I have to admit, even Photoshopped to death, you still look great! You go girl!

Shenani-Sunday

Hello my loyal followers. All 15 of you : )! I am looking into new ideas to help spread the word about my blog and putting ideas together to make improvements. I will be taking more of my own pictures, and sharing a little bit more about who I am in order to make this a more personal experience. I am also putting together a Revolve Clothing Boutique where you can visit to see some fashion items that I own or would love to own (coming up in a few weeks). Many new and improved things to come and I hope to make my blog a wonderful virtual location where you can come to relax and indulge. If you have any requests or ideas, please let me know. I am open! In the mean time, I thank you for your help in spreading the word about my blog. And I hope your Sunday is a beautiful one!!!

This is a really old picture of Shakira, but I have to post it because I absolutely LOVE her hair here! Hopefully she had a stylist do this one, or her wrists would be super strong from all that twisting. If you would like to replicate this style, make sure you have the right product and a helpful friend! photo from: hairstyles-clips.blogspot.com

This picture is cut off funny. Sorry folks. But what cool and easy hair styles on these models. You could probably just take a shower at night, put in some product and let it naturally dry and then braid and touch up the front randomly with a curling iron to smooth or not! And this disheveled look is so in, I think thanks to the Olsen twins. photo from: tattoo-kehas.blogspot.com

And saving the best for last....

Kristin Chenoweth in a Miguelina Dress at CMT Movie Awards

I absolutely Adore Kristin Chenoweth! She is spunky and always seems to have her amazing smile on her face. Her red carpet fashion moments are amazing and the woman never seems to have a bad hair day! And so, tonight I hope this fashion moment gives you inspiration. Wear your smile proud, you are never fully dressed without it. And make your night fabulous!

Vintage Swimwear

Swimwear with Vintage cuts are so very on trend this summer season. I have seen suits with vintage cuts at JCPenny's, online at Modcloth, and other locations. If shopping this look; one-piece suits are perfect, or if your looking for a two piece, ab-bearing suit, full sized bottoms with hip accentuating coverage is always a good choice. Tops that accentuate your female curves are always a plus, but make sure to keep it classy San Diego! There is always a delicate balance between classy and trashy when it comes to bathing suits. Have some fun in the sun my Shenani-followers!

Modernized LBD

If I had it my way, this is what I would be wearing today. (for what its worth, I would also be as thin as this model too, if I really want to entertain the idea of having it my way). I am at a Grief Counseling Conference today, so something in my gutt tells me this might be a leetle too risque. I am still dressed fabulous, just a little more....covered up!
I love the lines to this dress! Very chic and modern. You would probably feel like you are wearing practically nothing. I would wear this dress with edgy, thick, winged eye liner. Hair pulled up in a funky bun. And some kick ass heels. YAY!

This dress is $230.81 at ASOS.

Shenani-Sunday

It is kind of rainy here in Sacramento, and I have been loving this Spring/Summer rainy weather. There is something about unpredictable weather that makes me feel like a kid again, ready for what the weather is going to surprise me with next. And I cant help but reflect with the changing weather, and the changing season about how much I have changed this winter season. A while back I was just generally in a bad place within myself. I was upset about a lot of things that I really didn't know how to make peace with. With this change of season I have refocused my every day thoughts, it is still hard work but is getting easier by the day. I pay attention to the negative thoughts and judgements and ask myself how they are serving me? Usually...they aren't serving me very well. And so, I let them go, in peace. Mostly the tough negative thoughts that come up are the judgements I have for myself (we all have them, ladies especially I think). I cant help but notice in the 21st century, that we have bought into the thought process that if you love yourself it is somehow incorrect, or you will just be waiting for someone to come along and prove you wrong. (At least this is the consensus between my closest friends and I). And so, I have made a change. I practice every day...letting go of judgement and letting it go in peace. They NEVER serve me well, so why keep them around? I have noticed that I only judge others when I am judging myself 10X more harshly. And when I cant help but judge myself, I make sure I don't judge others and somehow the judgement I have for myself doesn't come around so much, and if it does, it is much less intense. I am in more control of it, rather than it being in control of me!
And so, if you have noticed, I will not make negative posts about someone or their fashion choices. "Why?" you ask? Because deep down I know that I am just doing my best every day. And I'm sure you are too!
And with that in mind, I will leave you with a quote filled with wisdom: "We are all bozos on the same bus, so we might as well sit back and enjoy the ride." -Wavy Gravy (Clown/Activist)
Happy Sunday, I hope you get to include a little Shenanigan like behavior in your repertoire! And allow your judgements to fade away in peace...
