Pistol Annies are the epitome of old school, down-home country. The trio has a distinct sound that you can't help but love. They're tough, beautiful, and all have amazing voices. If you don't know who they are, Pistol Annies includes: Ashley Monroe "Hippie Annie," Angaleena Presley "Holler Annie," and Miranda Lambert "Lone Star Annie."
The reason I'm talking about Pistol Annie? I'm so excited about their new CD that I had to share! The album "Annie Up" came out on the 7th and it's chalk full of white trash country.
Check out the video for their single of "Hush Hush."
Another fashionable awards show is here...and I'm loving that country style! It's no secret I love me some boots, buckles, and rhinestones, but I love that the country guys and girls are shaking it up with some formal gear this year.
Carrie Underwood rocking those legs as usual. Love her shoes!
The McClymont sisters...aren't they adorable? Love the green pants combo.
Hayden Panettiere who will be starring in a new show, Nashville
Lady A
Loving Kellie Pickler and her pink frock
The ladies of Pistol Annies. I love these ladies, but I'm not sure about their looks for the show.
Lauren Alaina--I just saw her perform at the Sugarland show last weekend and she's adorable!!!
Grace Potter looking sleek.
Jake Owen looking gorgeous as always and his new wife!
And, no recap would be complete without my boyfriend Luke Bryan. Congrats baby on your win for male video of the year for "I Don't Want This Night to End." See what singing about me gets you? ;-)

Wow, let me say it again, Wow. I am speechless after seeing the breathtaking photos of Taylor Swift in this month's Vogue. Mario Testino has done it again. No one works a camera like he does. After seeing the photos, I just knew I had to feature them for today's Fashion Friday post.
Taylor is getting more beautiful everyday. Her style is polished and perfect for a 22-year-old. I didn't have a sense of who I was at that age. These photos remind me of a boho, Carly Simon-type look. I'm dying over those Miu Miu boots. Again, Wow.

Welcome back to Fashion Friday! Since I'm on a western kick lately, who better to feature today for her fabulous sense of fashion than Carrie Underwood? I've loved Carrie since she auditioned for American Idol. She had a down home sweetness that couldn't be beat, and those pipes!
Since American Idol, she has definitely turned into a sophisticated, classy, gorgeous young woman. I love that she's not afraid to wear different colors or hairstyles, and who wouldn't kill for those legs?
Check out her new video with Brad Paisley

My Inspiration
Behind the Inspiration
Many of you might not know I began this blog after being so inspired by Marilyn Monroe and all she was. I'm in love with old Hollywood and Marilyn embodies everything about it that I am inspired by. Who better to inspire me? Over the years, the blog has become less about Marilyn and more about me, my love of fashion, and appreciation for life, however I won't forget the inspiration that started it all, thus the name, "Blonde Episodes."
Blonde Bits By Marilyn
"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."
"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."
"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."
"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."
"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
