It's Tuesday. Let's sin.

I've been a good girl lately. Working late and brushing my teeth. Watering my plants and holding my tongue in emails. Enough already. It's Tuesday and that means giving into my guiltiest of guilty pleasures lately: Tuesday nights on Bravo!

If you aren't watching NYC Prep, well, good for you, Santa or Hanukkah Harry will reward you come December, but you're missing out on the worst trash I have watched in a good long while. (Well at least since Gretchen and the other queens of The OC invaded my screen.) NYC Prep is THE MOST infuriating yet addictive display of pompous, self-obsessed and insecure teenagers ever. Why am I watching it? Who knows. But you should, too. Come on, try it. When it comes to peer pressure to do something bad, what better than nasty popular teens to get that ball rollin'?
Catch up on all the NYC Prep action here.

Speaking of trash, just continue eatin' that popcorn in front of your HD and roll right through Miami Social.
More beautiful people with beautiful bodies and loads of problems. I'm seeing a pattern, Bravo. What happened to Heidi? MAKE IT WORK!

And just to round out this post regarding trash, teens, and all things sexy, enjoy these steamy photos of Rob Pattinson. Yeah. I'm calling him Rob. He'd call me "J." It would be our thing. Whatevs.

I'd also answer to Bella.

More pics of Rob here.

BRAVO FOR TUESDAYS!

An Awesome New Line from Coach

Hey gals,
Have you heard about Coach's new line, Poppy? Okay, it might be for tweens, but I wouldn't put it past me to still try to squeeze into clothes at Delia's and read Teen Vogue at every chance. What? Whatevs.

Check out the new line of handbags, wallets, shoes, jewelry, and all things fun right here. The site is really colorful and nicely done. Yay to my favorite Dallas megastar model, Ali Michael, for being the face of Poppy. Go girl!

Here are some of the beauts from the site. Go spend some time (and money if you've got it) there.




Haven't you heard how trendy Christmas in July is?

Champagne wishes and poppy dreams!

And We're Back With More Awesome

Hey gang,
And we're back! No, I wasn't on some sort of exotic vacation...I was working too much and sleeping too little, but now, I've made it my goal to find at least ten minutes to blog and eleven minutes to exercise each day. More on that later. In the meantime, let's kick of this week with a big, hearty HAPPY BIRTHDAY to AAAD Reader, and the funniest man I know, Pablo. You rock it out with your awesomeness.

Since Pablo has great taste in irreverent t-shirts and all things design, here are a few things that seem very Pablo-esqe to me, and hopefully you will enjoy them, too.

Men's Mac Daddy Tee, $26 at Fred Flare. Get it here.


Where's Waldo shirt on 80'sTees.com. Get it here.

And finally, because Pablo loves both Princess Leia AND Halloween, do up your do with this amazing headband.
Princess Leia Headband. Get it here.

So nice to see you again!
SEND ME YOUR AWESOMES!

Have An Awesome Weekend! 7/11 Style

Happy Weekend, Kiddos! I just got back from a whirlwind trip to LA and I'm happy to be home for the weekend, even though I would kill to have brought back some of the amazingly pleasant and cool LA weather in my suitcase. Oh well. Good thing I can chill out here tomorrow with the help of a free Slurpee at 7-11 in honor of, you guessed it, 7-11! They're celebrating their 82nd birthday. Oh thank heaven!

New Feature on AAAD: Awesome Grocery Store Finds

I'm starting a new feature here on AAAD: Get This At The Grocery. There are lots of great products out there that we love, and no better place than to share them here. Please let me know what you are lovin' lately.

Today's first installment is a delicious and healthy drink that I just loved the minute I tried it: Minute Maid Pomegranate Tea. Now there are loads of pom drinks as well as teas out there, but for under $3 at most grocery stores, this really hit the spot. It wasn't too tea-ish or overloaded with a syrupy taste. It's good for you and great to cool off your palette while pleasing the taste buds. The bottle is great, too, and I've been refilling it with water and bringing it to the pool.

Go getcha some, and let me know what you're noshin' on lately.

Cheers!
