Happy weekend! Don't forget, 5 days left to enter my Kate Spade Giveaway!

Material Girl

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the filming of episode 4 for NBC�s new show The Marriage Ref. The show was absolutely hilarious! I highly recommend setting your DVRs to record Thursday nights after the Olympics. Last night�s episode was hosted by Tom Papa and his celebrity �experts� were Ricky Gervais, Larry David and Madonna.

Madonna has been all over the gossip websites with speculation that she had undergone a procedure known as the "Ribbon Lift". The "Ribbon Lift" is the marketing name for a trendy little neck lift that usually takes about 30 minutes to perform. The process uses a dissolvable "ribbon"-like suspension implant to lift neck tissues through a small incision around the earlobe. After about 2 months the ribbon is absorbed by the body and results are reported to last for about 3 years, although the jury is still out on that since we don't have the long term follow-up on the relatively new procedure.

Madonna is known to respond to any inquires about plastic surgery with her standard statement that she is �certainly not against plastic surgery; however, [she is] absolutely against having to discuss it." Her face looks as if she has had a successful lifting procedure and as if she may have undergone skin and injectable treatments. Regardless of what work she has had done, Madonna was looking as beautiful as ever, and I think the viewing audience will be pleasantly surprised to hear her witty contributions to the show.

Three things I love Thursday: February 25, 2010

First off, I'd just like to say that the comment section in yesterday's giveaway post was beyond entertaining. You guys had me laughing for a long time! Still 6 days to enter!

And so sorry to my international readers. I feel like a traitor since I grew up in Calgary! But when did postage get so expensive?? I promise I'll do another giveaway soon that is lighter (but still as glam) and open to everyone. Ok, on to my three things.

1. This adorable wreath made out of cupcake liners found at Friday's Child:2. Ceilings covered in balloons! So whimsical!3. Knot2Much2Ask bracelets found at Shopbop:

Blogoversary party: giveaway

Happy one year birthday to my little blog! What a fun year it's been! Also a year of changes. I've had 2 1/2 boyfriends, 2 jobs, 2 apartments...

UPDATE: ha! Many questions in the comment section about my 1/2 boyfriend. No he wasn't short! And yes, he was "the starbucks guy." Just someone who never had the official boyfriend title but I dated pretty much exclusively for a bit.

ANYWAY, I decided it would be fun to celebrate with my first ever giveaway:

It's actually a funny story how I came in possesion of this cute Kate Spade cosmetic bag. I ordered an adorable pair of gold sequin flats back in December and two boxes arrived instead of one. The second box had the shoe order form and this bag.

I called Kate Spade about 4 times trying to figure out what to do and each time they said they would email me a label to send it back. After 3 months of waiting and calling I have decided the bag is all mine (or all yours as the case may be.)
The tag says it's worth $70 and it's got a pretty adorable poppy print:

So here are the rules:

1. You must be a follower of glammed if you do, glammed if you don't.
2. You must be a resident of the United States.
3. Enter by leaving a comment about anything you want. Your favorite color, animal, Disney character, number, Backstreet Boy, 80's cartoon, season, Melissa Joan Heart show, etc. (You get the point.)

I'll randomly select a winner next Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

Good luck!

The Little Bitty "Tibi" Committee

Fashion week in New York signifies certain times of year as much as Halloween makes one think October. Twice a year, as mid-February and mid-September approach, fashionistas across the land start to get that excited itch of the approaching fashion week. For most it's the unveiling of the hottest designers newest collection that brings out celebrities, editors, and photographers alike, but for me it's a candy store of plastic surgery both good and bad, and an endless playing of my favorite two games; 'who needs what' and 'who's had what'. This year I attended the Tibi show and was giddy like a kid on a snow day as the models started walking down the runway. I happen to love Tibi and even sported a dress by the designer to the show. I was really getting into it this year! So much so that instead of ignoring the runway and focusing on the audience to play the games mentioned above, I was extremely focused on the models. Of course they were all tall and skinny because that's just par for the course (and the only measurements that fit into those sample sizes!) but I couldn't help but feel that a little bosom would've made the collection look more feminine and wearable by the general public (translation: anyone bigger than a size 0). I realize that it is physically impossible to maintain a decent cup size with these models LOW body mass index, but I do think some of them would benefit from conservative breast implants. I think breast augmentation would make a lot of these models look and feel more womanly, without drawing any attention away from the clothes. I get that these shows are supposed to be solely about the collection, not the models, but until designers can figure out how to make actual hangers walk, they need to accept that the models are part of the show too. A B-cup will only make the clothes look better!!

Engaged!

I know this is a side step out of the ordinary of our usual blog fare around here, but I saw a headline about Hilary Duff getting engaged and I was so genuinely happy for her. Hilary has always been extremely classy and just plain adorable. She made the transition from Disney's Lizzie McGuire to grown up Gossip Girl seamlessly. There were never any drunken photos of her dancing on tables or wardrobe malfunctions as she was exiting a vehicle. I think in Hollywood those activities have become the norm rather than the exception.

Last week Ms. Duff announced that she is engaged to hockey star Mike Comrie, who she has been dating for more than two years. Mike popped the question in Maui, but there is no date set to walk down the aisle as of yet.

In addition to her blooming love life, Hilary has always remained very natural looking. It is rumored that the star has had cosmetic rhinoplasty early in her career and possible liposuction. She obviously also has great genetics because her and her sister Hillary have glowing skin. I think she is probably too young to have delved into any type of botox at this point, but looks as if she possibly uses a dermal filler to plump up her lips. Whatever work she has or hasn't had done, I think she always carries and presents herself in a elegant put together way and is such a great example for up and coming stars of tomorrow.

Congrats Hilary!!

Love Kylie Minogue's new ad campaign for Tous handbags:

Speaking of Hocus Pocus, does anyone remember that movie? I used to watch it over and over as a kid, even when it wasn't halloween and I always wanted a Thackery Binx of my own. Also strange to go back and see Carrie Bradshaw play an airheaded witch.

Anyway, happy weekend!

Speidi Surgery Surplus

Every gossip magazine in the country is covering the Heidi Montag plastic surgery overkill story, and it looks like her hubby Spencer Pratt is wanting to cash in on the publicity Montag has generated with her previously reported 10 procedures.

Pratt has released statements to media outlets expressing his interest in chest implants, but sources close to the couple are also stating that he will also go under the knife for a rhinoplasty and liposuction.

Looks like the plastic surgery bug is contagious at their house, who�s next I wonder�. Stephanie Pratt or little Enzo?

Three things I love Thursday: February 18, 2010

1. These chandelier prints from Ish and Chi's etsy shop:

2. This dotted-Swiss lace eyemask designed by Dita Von Teese for Moschino. At first I gagged at the $130 price tag, but at least 30% of proceeds will go to AIDS charity amFAR. I'm torn. It's beautiful and I love Dita...

3. SMITTEN MITTENS!!!

How am I only now finding out about these? They are made for holding hands when its cold out. My boyfriend would kill me in my sleep if I tried to get him to wear these in public, but they are quite adorable.Found at the etsy shop Love Driven.
