Ain’t no Thang but Chambray!

When it comes to summer trends when you think denim you probably think daisy dukes or a mico-mini, but this season there is so much more where that came from.

The denim like Chambray look has been all over runways, lookbooks, and even Oprah’s couch… so you know this look is a winner!

Chambray is a hot look for hot weather because of it’s ultimate breathability! Why not get your western on with a chambray work shirt, or a cute romper! Chambray is also an easy care fabric that you can throw into the wash with everything else, and since this trend calls for a few wrinkles, you won’t even have to worry about ironing.

These looks from ShopBop will keep you looking hot all summer long, but at a bit of a lofty pricetag, so why not use them as inspiration for your next shopping trip. Keep your eyes pealed for not-so-little house looks that you can really sink your teeth into. Look out for chambray ruffles, loose bottom tanks and some ultra sexy feminine pieces that will have you wondering why you bought into florals after all.

For more affordable chambray looks you can check out these little lovelies from ModCloth! Not only are they what you have been looking for in a good summer chambray, but they are also more reasonably priced! These babies will have you looking stylish and effortless for the whole summer season!

But wait! Don’t forget about the boys! Men’s looks have been feeling the Chambray influence also! Work shirts, and classic button-ups are being redefined for that little piece of Johnny Cash in every man.

Tater Salad!

With someone down south jarring about how much they love their ducks, it is about time for OSU to have a fan uprise, and why not for a good cause!Not only should everyone that loves OSU football be in love with Coach Riley for choosing Corvallis over Cali, but who doesn’t love a shirt with his face on it that benefits the community!

This Loyalty Tee, along with several others are available online from PotatoSaladOverSneakers. PSOS, who is not affiliated with the university in any way is printing these puppies out, and donating $3 from every shirt sold towards OSU athletic event tickets for the Northwest community.

Not only will the shirts be a great addition to that black and orange section of your closet, but they will also help out the community. The shirts will run you about $18, but what is $18 when it comes to helping out the community, and also showing your support for OSU Athletics especially football!

“Potato Salad Over Sneakers is a place for all the true OSU believers. It’s a place for the students, alumni, fans and supporters who want to come together and show who we are and how strong we can be. It shows that we are loyal and we appreciate what we have. We don’t measure our success in dollar signs and uniform combos, but rather what we make of what we have. We work hard to make our institution better, together. We believe in the way we do things, we’re comfortable with who we are, and we’re better than they are!”-PSOS Project.

OOOOOO-SSSSSSS-UUUUUU! -xoxo Grishley.

Why we love SEX…and the City!

Ladies, ladies, ladies… this is why we love them!

If you haven’t got your hot little hands on the pictures from the New York Premier of Sex and The City 2, then this post is just the thing to get you through the week! Or at least till Thursday night when this movie finally hits theaters near you!

Not only are the ladies back and looking just as hot as ever, but they also gave their on screen alter-egos a firm run for their money last night on the red carpet at Radio City Music Hall!

In such a Samantha way, Kim Catrall stepped out in a phenomenally sexy nude dress embellished head to toe in sequins! Ms. Catrall put the sex in the city with a beautiful combination of red lips, red nails and diamonds diamonds diamonds!

The deep V-neck of Catrall’s gown not only played up her legendary cleavage, but also made 50-somethings everywhere re-commit to their Pilates class.

If there is a style tip here to steal from Ms.Catrall it is that less is more, if you are going high powered cleavage, then choosing a neutral tone can help keep you out of the worst dressed section!

You may know her as Miranda, but Cynthia Nixon also brought her A-Game last night in a beautiful floor length evening gown. The structured black busier not only showed off Nixon’s fabulous figure, but also accented her beautiful skin tone and new found blonde locks!

If she wasn’t your favorite sorority sister before, maybe she is now. Taking a hint from Charlotte’s uber-girly wardrobe, Kristen Davis slipped into a neon pink lovely that not only highlighted her gorgeous smile, but also her toned bod!

Now when it comes to neon there was no missing the lady of the hour! Sarah Jessica Parker reminded viewers why they adore her last night in a beautiful neon gown!

Not only did SJP pick a fabulous color, but she also chose a fantastic cut. This Asymmetrical lovely is not only eye-catching, but also just revealing enough to keep us wanting more!

Now just to hold you off until Thursday here are a few more pics from the film!

See you there! xoxo-Grishley

The Always Sexy Berry White

One upgrade, one broken Samsung Impression, four trips to AT&T and countless hours on the phone with the runaround formarly known as “Customer Care” at AT&T, Grishley‘s negotiating skills, and no nonsense attitude landed her a beautiful brand new Blackberry at the best cost of FREE!

Now upgrading your phone can sometimes be just as serious as relationship commitment, afterall you get locked in for two whole years, unless  you wanna get out early and then have to pay some lovely severance payments just to smooth it all over. So when it comes down to picking the right phone, Grishley had a lot to think about.

After years of trolling around the world (or Oregon at least) with my always reliable Blackberry Curve, I knew switching to a new interface would be difficult, but I didn’t know how difficult. Not only was switching to the Samsung Impression a complete pain, but the phone I recieved didn’t funciton properly. Uhhhh HEADACHE!

So I took my Impression back, and wiggled my way into a free Blackberry Bold 900o in White from AT&T! (BAM!) Not only is this baby attractive, but also comes with a spiffed up version of the traditional Blackberry interface! The phone also has a killer camera, and some of the most amazing speakerphone options ever!

This model has the classic Blackberry trackball, the last model to feature the little roundy thing, but great things are on their way from the Blackberry  bush if you are thinking of upgrading!

The newest model of the Blackberry Bold (Which gets the name “Bold” from its amazing screen features!) features the new trackball technology as well as the classic QWERT keyboard (it means it has buttons). It is currently available in black, but on the down low will be coming out in white soon as well.

If color is more your thing then check out the Blackberry Curve in all of these cool colors!

Happy Blackberry-ing!-xoxo Grishley
