A Sick Little One ... But Still Have a Style Recommendation

I've had a little one home from school the last couple days with a fever.  But, it will not deter me from a fashion tip!

I recently discovered (maybe I'm late to the party) the denim from JCrew.  If you know me, you know this is surprising because I am a VERY loyal Paige Denim and Joe's Jeans girl.  For spring and summer, I got the Cropped Matchstick Jeans in White and Mint.  Love, love, love.  Wear them with heels or flip flops, rolled a bit or not rolled.  Any way you wear them, they are denim perfection.

Side note:  if you live in the San Diego area, go see Shannon Spear, the Personal Stylist at UTC's JCrew store.  This stylish and approachable lady definitely knows what she's talking about!

Should We Care About the F-Bomb?

I've obviously got sports on my mind this morning ...

So, yesterday during an emotional pregame ceremony in Boston, Big Papi, for you non-sports fans it's slugger David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, gave a rousing and uplifting speech during which he dropped a f-bomb.  Like the attached article says, if anyone was offended while watching it on TV, you're going to have to complain to someone other than the FCC.  As you can see, they let it slide.

In my opinion, I think we need to relax.  In the grand scheme of things, I don't find it necessary to get all bent out of shape because of one 4-letter word used during a passionate speech.  There are much more larger concerns in life.  I'm not saying it was appropriate.  It wasn't.  There are definitely other words he could have chosen to inspire the Bostonians but this charitable man spoke movingly from the heart and slipped in a naughty word.  Let's allow this one to slide.

One last note:  for those of you who say "but my 8 year old heard him say it!"  Trust me, your 8 year old has heard that word before.  You may or may not know where he or she has heard it but I'm 98% sure your kid has been exposed to the f-bomb.

Here's the clip ... Big Papi Speech

Did You See That Shot?

Did everyone, or at least all you sports fans, see the last second shot last night by CP3 that lifted the Clippers over the Grizzlies??  Oh my goodness.  And, he banked it in!  Who does that?  The answer is Chris Paul.  Amazing and so cool.  Watch it here ... CP3 last second shot

Two Things I Love Today

I'm chiming in again today to tell you about two things I'm loving (actually, I'm obsessed) BIG TIME.

The first is the song Crickets by Drop City Yacht Club.  Can't.  Stop.  Listening.  To.  It.  Like I said, obsessed.  Listen here ... Crickets

The second is these track pants from one of my favorite stores, Splendid.  All of the clothes in Splendid are ultra-comfortable, chic and super cute.  Check out the goods if you haven't already.  Here's the link to the pants ... Track Pants

Where the Magic Happens

So this is where it all begins.  My first blog post.  I never thought I'd be doing this but I was inspired.  Inspired by my friends, husband, kids, the day-to-day ... everything.  As you can see, this blog is titled Who You Callin' a Lady.  No big story behind it except that it is my friend's response whenever I say "hey lady" and I think it's funny.  And, in my case, true.

One thing I want to make crystal clear.  I am NOT an expert on anything.  I've read quite a few blogs and so many bloggers have inferred in their writing that they are experts in something and actually know what they are talking about.  That's crap.  I simply have opinions.  And a potty mouth, but that's for a separate post.  In fact, I have an opinion about pretty much everything.  The other point I'd like to make is that I'd love to hear your opinions.  So, after you read my posts, write a comment.  Would love to hear from you!

OK, so I just finished up with some hot yoga so I have to shower before I get the kids from school.  Have a great day and will "talk" with you in the blogger universe soon.

Thanks for visiting my blog,
the Lady
