It’s March, and we know what that means. Lots of ladies running around trying to get ready in the morning with nothing to wear. You are so sick of your winter clothes you don’t know what to do, and you have no idea what you wore last spring. The few items you can find seem a little more faded and wrinkly than they once did. There is only one cure for midseason blues…retail therapy.
We’re gotten distracted with winter, but we are officially Marching into spring by kicking off 3 straight days of fashion posts. And we are starting with everyone’s favorite warm weather attire…the swimsuit. Not feeling so sexy? Check out Spanx’s new line of swimwear. They are mostly one pieces and tankinis (btw, ladies, everyone to have 1 one piece – there are occasions when a 2 piece is not appropriate), but they have a few tiny bikinis too! They aren’t cheap (around $180), but it makes you feel cute and confident, who cares? Which ones do we like? The ones with ruffles of course!

The weather this weekend was like a spoon full of sugar for the soul. Walking outside and smelling the smells of spring reminded me of another of life’s great debates. Which is better: summer to fall or winter to spring? During the Fall of ‘09, we decided to give the win to fall and call it a day (keep in mind, Georgia summer is H-O-T). However, this weekend, with a longing for cook outs, Alumni Lawn, listening to Deana Carter’s “We Danced Anyway” (for more on this one, look forward to the upcoming post on Teenage Angst), Sea Island bachelorette weekends (featured here), a boxer puppy, white shorts, and day drinking outside we realized…it might have to go to spring. So, dearest soul sisters, if Train’s new song has won you over and makes you feel like frolicking in the green grass, please do share…what are your favorite things about spring?

Happy Ash Wednesday, you Mardi Gras partier you. We all know the best way to cue party remorse…swear off indulgence for a stated period of time. For Lent, we encourage you to give up anything you want: wine, worrying, staying up late, sleeping late, not exercising, over exercising…the list is your oyster. However, we do make one special request. No Lent sacrifices that are actually diets! If you want to go on a diet, more power to you. But don’t call a spade a heart and pretend like it is for Lent. It misses the point, and we’re over it. What are you giving up this year?!

Jeggings, we’ve decided…we want your love. We want your ugly. We want your (fashion) disease. We want your everything. As long as it’s free (emum?). A nice girl at Anthro recommended these jeans-leggings two weeks ago, and while it was sort of fun to prance around in the dressing room in them, we just couldn’t pull the trigger. 1) you have to feel gooooood about yo body to wear these and 2) they are pretty ridiculous. However, Kell on Earth was talking about them this week (don’t think anyone who has seen Kell on Earth is going to wonder what elaneymedia.com might think about Bravo’s new wonder), so…done. You can’t be in your twenties forever. Why not? What do you think about jeggings? Do you want their ugly or do you think they’ll lead to a Bad Romance?

Everyone has them. The inexplicable day when everything you put on looks. completely. horrible. Your skin tone looks weird; your hair looks bad. No one else will notice these subtle changes, but you are instantly and acutely aware of how much more attractive you were a mere 24 hours ago. Clothing Crisis! What to do? You can’t fight them, but you can prepare. Have a very plain outfit ready. Jeans, black top. J.Crew kind of day for us. Looks like the same for Jessica Alba. What do you do?!

We’ve written about this before, but we don’t like American Idol and we don’t know what to do. It’s Un-American to not like American Idol, but it is not for lack of trying. January after January, we give it a chance. We really thought it would click one year after we ended up sobbing through an episode of Idol Gives Back, and we have hope every time we hear a judge say “Welcome to Hollywood” and we feel a little pang in our heart.
However, try as we might, we just can’t get addicted (Cue “Had a Bad Day” background music). They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, but we want to be Idol “crazy!” We just can’t.
So here it is – all on the line – tonight’s episode is in our beloved Atlanta (the a hollar!), and this is Simon’s last season. We are going to give it one more go, and if it doesn’t stick, we say goodbye. What do you think – do you love Idol or do you think it’s American Idle?
