Jean War: Battle of the Slouch

So, maybe I missed the memo, but these two jeans appear to be twins. I would not be able to ID one in a lineup, nor would I be able to tell you which one was more expensive. In addition to that, I just couldn't bring myself to spend any more than $30 on a pair of jeans that are so destroyed.

Now for the fun part....which pair is $248.00 & which is only $29.95?

In good conscience, would you spend $248.00 on either of these?

Answers to follow later today.....

*SO, to update, jean #1 is the cheapie pair at $29.95 found at American Eagle Outfitters...I actually own them & they are fabulous! Jean #2 is the ridiculously overpriced pair from Current Elliot (Slouch Crop Jean in Hickory Destroyed).

Thanks for playing!

Dog Day Afternoon(s)

Meet Parker, my 3.5 year old Pommy/Spaniel mix. My husband & I adopted him over two years ago & he has set our hearts aflutter ever since.

These were the highlights of his holiday weekend:
1. Meeting the SECOND set of dachshunds in our community....yes, there are four of these little guys running around!
2. Devouring the steak remnants from the bone we "doggie bagged" from a dinner with friends.
3. Watching, "Priceless" starring Audrey Tatou...he has a thing for French films.
4. Doing the crossword in Monday's NY Times...it takes him a few hours to finish it, but it's well worth it.
5. And tanning, of course, in the sun, for hours on end.

Audrey Tatou steals hearts in yet another
beautiful film, Priceless

Get the look: Elegant Summer Ponytail

To get the latest L'Oréal brand representative, Evangeline Lilly's no fuss, sexy ponytail, check out below. Watch me try out this look in my DIY hair tutorials this summer!

To get an elegant evening ponytail that's not severe and has texture, spritz dry hair with water and comb a dollop of medium-hold gel through your hair before pulling it back into a style like Evangeline Lilly sported in Cannes.
