Yesterday I mentioned Shabby Apple's Inca Trail collection. You know about my western obsession lately and the timing for this collection is just perfect! It's right up my alley. I'm going to order the skirts for school to wear with my new boots!
If you've never shopped with them, you must visit. Their prices are reasonable, and the dresses and skirts are to die for. Check out the new collection, then head over. Enter the promo code "trail" to receive 10% off your order! Let me know what you get!
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?

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."
