Hello, everyone! Julie here from Brown Eyed Belle, doing a little lovey-dovey post for my sweet friend Kori! Being the hopeless romantic that I am, when our lady emailed me a couple weeks ago about doing this post I simply couldn't resist. 

What does love mean to me? Such a complicated question, but for me, such simple answers...

****

An early morning phone call when you're far apart.

***

A kiss on the cheek or forehead or nose.

***

Unexpected dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant.

***

Being comfortable in the silence.

***

Still holding hands on your 50th wedding anniversary.

***

Sacrificing your happiness for theirs.

***

Finishing each other's sentences.

***

Celebrating their successes selflessly.

***

Dancing the street....while people are watching.

***

Accepting their quirks as beauty.

***

Only feeling complete when you're together.

I love love, don't you?!

Thank you, Kori, for letting me visit today! I enjoyed every minute of it!

Hugs & kisses,

Julie

Screen Actors Guild Awards

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I was at Disneyland all day yesterday and ran right into (literally, I almost knocked him over) Travis Barker. Kind of funny, I grabbed his arm and I think he thought I wanted an autograph before I even realized it was him lol.

On another note, I am watching the Screen Actors Guild Awards and am loving the outfits! I don't have pictures of the men, but wow they looked amazing as well! Here are some photos the good and the bad outfits. What do you think?

Don't forget to check out the guest series I'm beginning tomorrow on our favorite Valentine's Day subject: Love. I was lucky enough to get some really great bloggers to contribute and I can't wait for you to see what they have to share! Tomorrow's post will be by the gorgeous and sweet Julie over at Brown Eyed Belle. Make sure to come back and check it out tomorrow!

You Picked Him...Robert Pattison!

Today is my favorite day of the week--Fine Man Friday! You voted, and you chose Rob Pattison as your man candy this week. I hope you enjoy the photos and have a wonderful weekend!

Don't forget to vote for next week's Fine Man choice, and stay tuned for my guest series on Love next week. I have some truly fabulous friends stopping by to give us their thoughts!

One more thing, today marks the 25th anniversary of The Challenger tragedy. Let's not forget those who passed.

J.LO

With all the American Idol I've been watching, I thought it only fitting to post on Jennifer Lopez. I cannot believe how beautiful she is! I think she is a good addition to the show, but I'm really in love with Steven Tyler! Here are some photos of J.LO. What do you think of her on American Idol?

Don't forget to go vote before tomorrow on Fine Man Friday for the weekly post!

Kristen Stewart

The newest issue of Vogue features Kristen Stewart on their cover. I had to do a double take because she looks so different. I always thought she was beautiful in a simple kind of way. I'm not so sure what's missing for me in these photos, but she looks less classic beautiful to me. Maybe it's the hair color? What do you think?

By the way, today was a better day...thanks for all your kind comments. They brighten my day! Don't forget to vote for Fine Man Friday!

Cowboy Boots

I've always loved cowboy boots. Maybe it's the romantic idea that I am living in the Wild, Wild West and will find my own cowboy if I wear them? Maybe it's that they look great with everything from skirts to jeans? Maybe it's that they are edgy and a little rebellious? Whatever the reason, I am a sucker for a pair of well-designed boots, the pointier toe, the better. Justin Boots have always been one of my favorite brands. I found some pictures through their website that were amazing. They are vintage pics that show the factory, the process of hand-sewing the boots, and all the craftsmanship that goes into a pair of boots.

I also stumbled across some fabulous photos of women who really know how to show off their boots! I've been in bed for 3 days with this awful sore throat thing, and am hoping for a full recovery by tomorrow. I promise to get back on my regular blogging schedule then. Have a great day friends!
