The Great: No Tyra in 2009!

As we all get the last couple of additions to our perfect New Year’s Eve outfits and figure out what resolutions we are going to attempt to keep next year, we are all looking forward to starting 2010 (so) fresh (and so clean, clean). It’s a new year and a new decade filled with endless possibilities!

Will we manage to pass every class this year?
Will we find another guilty pleasure show to add to our long list of Housewives episodes clogging our DVR?
What will be the first celebrity scandal of the new year?
Will we finally fit into those skinny jeans from high school?
Can anyone really be douchier than Jon Gosselin and Tiger Woods?

While much of what 2010 has in store for us is a big fat mystery, there are some things that we just can’t wait for! And, of course, quite a few things we’d rather do without. Get ready for the future, ladies:

The good: Jean Paul Gaultier and Zac Posen are bringing high fashion trends to us for cheap as a part of Target’s Designer Collaboration Series!
The bad: Stylists around the world are toting animal ear headbands (bunny ears, Mickey Mouse ears, teddy bear ears, cat ears…I wish I was kidding) as the next hot trend.

The good: Tyra Banks is ending her reign as the craziest bitch on daytime TV “talk show.”
The bad: Real World is back on and looks incredibly boring. (I want hookups and messy drunken fights involving kitchen utensils, not political rallies and a girl who runs all the time because her mom calls her fat.)

The good: The Lady GaGa Tour is finally coming to a town near you!
The bad: Kanye won’t be there to entertain us with some show stopping shenanigans. In fact, Kanye probably won’t be entertaining us anywhere with any more shenanigans in this post-Taylorgate world.

The good: The Apple Tablet computer has a rumored release date of February. Which means life is about to get a whole lot more awesome come 02/10.
The bad: Handheld gaming is the focus of many tech companies, meaning you may never see your boyfriend again, but you will see the back of some annoying 12-year-old’s head as he walks oh so slowly in front of you while he plays his stupid game.

The good: Amy Adams is having a baby with her fiancé Darren Legallo. And you know we can all use another well-dressed, good looking Hollywood offspring to stalk online. After all, Suri is getting old. Literally.
The bad: Tila Tequila will be giving birth to her brother’s baby. This not only means that Tila Tequila will be shooting out a baby, but that the baby is obviously going to carry the genes of an incredibly challenged person. I mean, really, how slow do you have to be to think it’s a good idea to cook a baby in Tila’s oven.

What else are you guys excited for? What’s got you hiding under your covers dreading the new year?

You’ll find her workin on her latest video. And we can’t wait!

So it’s like negative 500 outside, which is making me so jealous of:

A. all the spring clothes that are starting to make their way into the stores – even in places like the North Pole, and

B. all the celebs who are in L.A. wearing cute, warm, summery tops.

Like this one by our gal pal Amy Adams. Even though it is not the most original, or trendy, or hard to put together, it’s cute, it’s breezy…and it’s NOT made of wool.

So instead of brushing it off, I am featuring it to make our winter days feel a littttle warmer. Either save it for spring, wear it under an oversized sweater, or move to California.

Here is this week’s Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: All About Amy Adams’ Floral Frock.

Floral Blouse

There is no way this number won’t make you feel a little bit better about the ice falling from your window. Wear it out like Amy, or tuck it in to a pair of those high waisted jeans you love so much.

Jeans

Gap jeans are seriously underrated: they are flattering, fit well and don’t cost half of your monthly salary. These are great because you can wear them out or tuck them into boots.

Sunglasses

These are big enough to keep you incognito and cute, but not so big that they take over your entire face.

Bag

Just one more reason to love Target. As if you needed another reason.

As my friends and I gathered in my living room with drinks and dinner last night to watch the Oscars, we all recognized a very obvious fact: We were not gathered to actually watch the awards. In fact, none of us cared that much about who won anything. (especially not at the tipsy end of the evening). The truth is that we just wanted to see what everyone was wearing. We wanted to either rip them apart or drop our jaws in jealousy. And so that’s what happened.

There weren’t as many atrocities as I had secretly hoped for last night. I always kind of want Cameron Diaz to show up in a trash bag and slippers. But hey, lets face, she’d look like a babe even in that. I guess what I’m trying to say is that no one gave me nightmares last night.

However, Jennifer Garner takes home the “We wanna be that bitch” trophy from me and my friends. Our jaws dropped in jealousy. We wanted her dress. Her hair. Her necklace. Her…ugh. We simply have never ever seen her look as good as she did last night…which was…FLAWLESS.

Marion Cotillard may have looked like she was wearing a quilt that her grandmother made…(except really it was Jean Paul Gaultier who made it)…nonetheless, she looked sexy in that quilt. Sexy AND unique. It was a great combination.

Amy Adams may have looked good, but she pissed me off. She ornamented her finger tips with a totally pointless bag. Yes, it was a pretty bag. However, admitting that your little princess purse has NOTHING IN IT (which, yes, she did do) is about as noble as admitting you stuffed your bra to me. As my roommate put it; “It’s a pretty purse. But it belonged in a museum…not on her arm–empty.”

Anne Hathaway, on the other hand, didn’t PISS me off, per se…instead, she just made me sad. It’s wrong of me to associate her automatically with her character in The Devil Wears Prada, but I cannnn’t helllllllpppp itttttt. I thought she was that down ass chick who looked hot and didn’t care about being paper thin. Last night, however, she was sickly skinny looking (and I’m not saying this because she is pale…I’m saying it because I think she lost too much weight). She just looked like a scared little girl who had just gotten her first detention.

All in all, my friends and I knitpicked all night long at dresses that were more or less OKAY. The only question I really have is: Who told Miley Cyrus to drop her goth rocker look? I was really digging it…
