Kim and Kanye take Paris

What an Awesome and wondrous Labour Day gift we received from Kimye: A Wedding Special!

And bless Kim’s heart for trying so hard to make it seem like it was her first. The occasion was supposedly filled with many secrets and surprises. I attribute this to Kim herself being in the dark about most of her own wedding plans, but I digress. Between E! Online, Instagram and every single news outlet on the planet, I felt very few details hadn’t surfaced yet, but just in case you missed them: let's review some of the inside scoop revealed last night:

Un: Kim Kardashian is a Parisian Tourism Ambassador. Thank god we finally have someone to show us all of the hidden gems in this unknown city.

Deux: Having Kanye West, whom you've likely only met sparingly, pick out a dress for you to wear without any input is obnoxious. Also his opinion on slits is final.

Trois: Mr. West understands that best friend isn’t a person but a tier; a classic Mindy Lahiri life lesson. Those three groomsmen looked like a barrel of laughs didn’t they?

Quatre: North West! Oh wait. We’ve seen her already. I’ll buy someone a million Instagram likes if they can logically explain to me why Nori’s face had to be blurred on that iPhone after we had seen her two scenes earlier? KONFUSED.

Cinq: Kendall Jenner is a model. I hadn't heard.

Six: The Kardashians‘ family and friends have iPhones that capture flawless HD Video and high quality sound. Either that or they stole footage they paid paparazzi to capture in-between driving Rob Kardashian out of the country. *

*E! definitely filmed this episode.

Dashingly yours,

Lauren

Let's join in just one last chorus, read: Happy Labour Day!

"Summer days will soon be over, soon the autumn starts..."

And sure your summers are never as scandalous as Baby's, you're no Penny on the dance floor & could never pull off Lisa's two piece, but everyone deserve a Kellermans style send off this time of year!



Happy Labour Day y'all!

Autumnally yours,
Us

Morning After: 66th Emmy Awards

The Emmy Awards fell a little flat last night. We're pretty sure it's because a lot of the following folks we're about to highlight received ZERO airtime (note: we couldn't even find pictures of Idris Elba OR Louis C.K. OR Mark Ruffalo for our Best Dressed Man contender, unconscionable!) The usual winners prevailed, and, while it was nice to see our beloved Breaking Bad peeps take home the final piece of recognition they deserved, we were too busy wondering if we could hire Heisenberg to sabotage Jim Parsons & Modern Family next year to really enjoy it. Seth Meyers came off cheesy at times, and, in our opinion, was saved only by Amy Poehler and this hilarious Billy on the Street segment. But anyway, as always, the true joy in awards shows come from discussing the clothes! So without further ado, let's get started.

Best Dressed Ladystar: Teyonah Parris wearing bold and beautiful Christian Siriano. Runner Up Best Dressed Ladystar: Taylor Shilling wearing figure-flattering Zuhair Murad. Worst Dressed Ladystar: Lena Dunham wearing Giambattista Valli. Runner Up Worst Dressed Ladystar: Laura Prepron wearing Gustavo Cadile. Best Lady Pants: Robin Wright wearing Ralph Lauren. Best Red : TIE! Julia Louis Dreyfus wearing Carolina Herrara and Uzo Aduba wearing Christian Siriano.

The More You Know: Binge-watching

We must say that we were straight up touched while watching this PSA yesterday, it is always nice to find out that tv stars are looking out for you (though deep down we always knew Mr. Mars had our back!).

This hilarious video from EW is also impeccably timed, as we've currently taken to re-binging Friday Night Lights in its entirety. And all we'll say is good thing we've got a blog and jobs to worry about or we'd never leave West Dillon (haven't hit season 4 just yet...)

Enjoy the below if only as a mere distraction from your current Netflix queue.



Happy Friday!

Looking at Boys in Magazines: Hotter Than We Had Anticipated Edition

Hey party people! It's that time of year again, the September issues are trickling out into our newsstands and we are looking for the thickest issues possible. I normally limit myself to 3 magazines, so I'm endlessly grateful for the following magazines posting their shoots online. Asked and answered.

So here are (in order of hotness surprise) some of our fav shoots from September's magazines.

First up we have America's Sweethunk (COINED!) Chris Pratt on the cover of the September 2014 issue of Esquire magazine, photographed by Nigel Parry. Needless to say, he's never looked better. Even though his suits could fit a titch better, that cover look is utterly dashing.



Next we have James McAvoy on the cover of September 2014 Nylon Guys magazine photographed by Simon Emmett. That brooding gaze!
