How does Gwyneth always manage to wear the most minimalist makeup and not look like a pasty-faced ghost like I feel like I do when I go minimalist? WHAT GIVES.

I'm squeeing at the kitty AND the baby bump (sorry). SQUEEEEEEEEE

And she essentially got fired for it. :(

My mom is totally aghast when people wear black to weddings, but I think it's totally fine at this point. Half my friends who've gotten married had black bridesmaid dresses.

Little Penguin chardonnay. Kasteel Rouge is delish! I had DC Brau The Public last night.

Not really. Scottish and Norwegians are both different types of white. There are 9 ways to say "white" on that map and one to say black. (maybe 3 if you identify as black hispanic or black puerto rican, but that's pushing it).

Wait...are you...Marc Jacobs? You're what that troll is talking about!

jelly belly. They have a bunch of the flavors but sours are my jam.
