Cleaning out my closet

I had a rare weekend this past weekend.

I actually stayed at my own apartment and got to enjoy it by myself.

I know that sounds a bit anti-social, but I have been running my tail off, and it's so nice to take a break from everything. I did have a great visit with my mom and sis on Saturday, and then I retired to my apartment for some major laundry (I hadn't done laundry in like a month, but because of my obsession with Victoria's Secret, I did not run out of underwear) As Saturday night rolled around, I lounged around in my BCBG velour sweats, went to Blockbuster and rented The Nanny Diaries, opened a bottle of Sauv. Blanc and had a wonderful night to myself. I truly think you need those every once in a while, especially when life is crazy and things happen to you that you don't understand. The Nanny Diaries was the perfect rental - much better than the book.

Sunday brought a trip to church (and a renewal of my baptism!) then I spent all afternoon at home cleaning out my closet. Thanks to View from the Porch, I had the perfect plan, and I feel so much better knowing what's in my closet and thinning out the stuff that I don't wear.

I would strongly encourage you to do the same - it makes you feel so good and you can find out about all the clothes you have been forgetting! Plus, it just is so wonderful to see a clean closet!

I need to stop spending money - I made it to the outlet malls the other day and brought home three pairs of high quality cute shoes (they were only $20 a piece for designer shoes!) and a timeless black sheath dress from BCBG for $33 as well as an adorable red jacket for $40. I figure I should end my shopping with some great purchases!

Happy Closet Cleaning,

Celeb Style Candy



I like Katie Holmes bangs a bit side-swept like in that first picture, but the shot makes it appear that she is wearing a toga. I would love to have that red trench.



These two are now with baby! Keith Urban + Nicole Kidman = one cute baby.



I like Mandy Moore, and I really enjoy that shiny outfit.
Kyra Sedgwick received best-dressed honors at the Critics' Choice Awards in a flashy red Oscar de la Renta. What do you think of it?



A fun white dress for Hilary Swank. (See the movie P.S. I Love You if you haven't already - it is a GREAT movie, but bring your tissues because it is sad - with a happy ending.)
Judy Greer plays wedding again - first with JLo in Wedding Planner and now with K. Heigl in 27 Dresses (which I must see!)




Katherine Heigl - I just love that dress - it would have been perfect for the holidays!



Brittany Snow in Roberto Cavalli (I just loved her in the TV series American Dreams).
Drew Barrymore looking snazzy in Pucci!



Carrie Underwood in Betsey Johnson and a bit of Ellen Page, star of comedy Juno, which I want to see but haven't yet. I might wait for it to go to DVD.
