Dior Couture Fall 2010

Couture to me is usually too absurd to think about wearing.  Not because of the price but because the design is usually just so out there.  But if that is going to be the case, I prefer a show and a show is what Dior did this time!  I think this stuff is just stunning!

Forever21 Fairy Tale

This is a sweet little fairy tale.  It's always nice to know that you were following and supporting someone or something pre-fame and to watch them grow.  Rumi Neely of fashiontoast, a blog I have been reading for quite some time, is one of the few lucky ones who make it to the big leagues.

Her blog contains fashion shots of her in various outfits she puts together.  Some items are designer, some are low budget, like Forever21.  Pretty brilliant mixes with some very lovely photography.  The new store just opened in Times Square and who did they pick for the billboard?  Her!

Tie-Dye Nails!

Never mind the hidden message she wrote on them while appearing in court, Lohan's nails are tie-dyed and I kinda love them!

NYC Holiday

Drove to NYC for the holiday weekend.  After a solid drive we came to a halt at the GW Bridge but we saw some fireworks in the distance so that was kinda cool.  Woke up and went to look at apartments on Wall Street.  They are throwing in some great deals down there!  The highlight of the trip happened the first day too.  We were chillin in Washington Square Park and we saw them filming Curb Your Enthusiasm.  Spotted Larry David, Wanda Sykes and Jeff Garlin.  The reason I am best friends with the person I am best friends with is because of Larry David.  She wrote for her fun fact during sorority rush "I love Larry David" and the girl talking to us asked her if that was her boyfriend.  We laughed and walked away and that was that.

Food, one of my favorite subjects, and generally what I base my plans around.  We went to Ed's Lobster Cart for lunch and it was the best lobster roll I have ever had (the most expensive also).  Also checked out the Standard Hotel Bier Garden.  $8 ticket gets you a beer, brat or pretzel.  The pretzels were the biggest things I have ever seen and came with a sweet and a spicy mustard sauce which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I would go back here again for sure.  Stumbled over to the Frying Pan after that and got some prime seating in the front of the boat and watched the sunset.  Also enjoyed brunch at Good where I had a Basil & Goat Cheese omelet on a sourdough slice of toast and the following day, eggs benedict at my fave, The Smith.

For the 4th I set up a little picnic spot for my friends in Central Park and spent the day there relaxing.  It's the one thing I wanted to do and I did it so I was thrilled.  Then some friends and I walked down to the west side to watch the world famous fireworks.  A guy even proposed to his lady friend in front of us during it (she said yes).

The only real problem I had was that I hate being a visitor in my own city.  I was spoiled having an apartment there.  It's stressful staying outside the city and having to worry about if you brought everything you need for the day.  By the end of the day I was so exhausted, I didn't even have the energy to go out at night which kinda stunk cuz I was hoping to.  Oh well, I'll be back!

Thanks!

Hey everyone!  Just wanted to say thank you for supporting me in my quest to become a nominated candidate for MTV's first TJ.  I truly appreciate it.  Not only do I want to get this job because I need one and for the obvious perks like meeting awesome people and doing extraordinary things while under such a powerhouse company, but it's also a chance to be a positive force and good role model.  I think I can connect to a variety of ages on many levels and think the outlet that this opportunity creates is excellent.

Results will be in a week.  Positive thoughts!  In the meantime, feel free to continue to follow me on twitter (@beccameyers), check out the other candidates and keep up with the contest at the site, http://tj.mtv.com/.

Congrats Princess Abby Francis

There is a new "World's Ugliest Dog" as of this past Friday.  Princess Abby Francis, a newly rescued chihuahua!  This is the 22nd winner for the contest held in Cali.  My obsession began with it back when Peewee Martini (RIP) won.  Apparently the vet who took care of the new winner says this could very well be due to inbreeding.  Just another reason to adopt and a prime example on why we need to STOP PUPPY MILLS!  Didn't really mean for this to become a political entry but so it goes.   (AP Story and pic)

New York Things

It's tough not to be in NYC for the summer.  But luckily there are just so many New York-centric things to surround myself around that it helps.

Bond No.9
Eau de Parfume has an amazingly aesthetic collection that happens to smell nice too.  It "has a dual mission: To restore artistry to perfumery, and to mark every New York neighborhood with a scent of its own. Each fragrance represents a specific downtown, midtown, or uptown locale or a city-wide sensibility. With new introductions in the coming seasons, Bond No. 9 infuses the island of Manhattan with scents."  Pretty cool concept! 

Above are Chinatown, High Line and Union Square scents. 

They also have candles, adorable travel size spritzers and of course limited editions. 


Absolut Brooklyn 

Infused with ginger and apple flavors and matched with a celeb, Spike Lee.  $50,000 will be donated to Habitat For Humanity's Project Bed-Stuy.  To learn more about the product, check out their facebook page.

I love it!
