MC Harem Pants

No that’s not a typo. MC Harem Pants!!

I’m always loved Harem pants, but instead of fully embracing the trend, I casually dip my nonjudgmental toes in the water as everyone dives right in.

I don’t believe you should ever immerse yourself in a trend you are not confident with. It will show – and you will look like a legitimate fool (legitimate b/c even your crazy behind will agree to such a verdict)!

So as I embark on an online window shopping adventure, to find something that’s more daring that what I have but not as foolish as Mr.Hammer… I leave you with double the inspiration for my current brave obsession.

and part deux

…But if I stumble… you won’t judge me, now will ya? 🙂

Magazine Weekend – Shape July

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope your bellies are full and your naps and sleeptimes fuller. Or maybe y’all even partied it up?

The magazine clipping of the day from the July issue of Shape with several country beauties on the cover (LeAnn, Martina, & Julianne) breaks down the reasons for why you need to love your body now, as opposed to another day, later, or never.

I hope y’all realized by now that the most important thing for me is to be true to yourself. Almost every lesson you learn in life points to one error, if you keep making it wrong. Don’t do yourself wrong!

Check out the issue for other great reads about healthy snacks, and to read why walking is and always will be one of the best fitness/weight loss plans you can pick up.

Shoot me an e-mail to MyOwnJudge@gmail.com if you would like me to explore other/have topics and/or magazines, or for general opinions of what’s in magazine weekend.

    ————————–

    Now on to some serious business:

    The Beauty & Fashion Blogger get together is more than some pretty ladies sitting around and chit chatting over food. This is a conference focusing on education and networking. A venue for you to introduce yourself to aspects of the web/media you have yet to come across, or to mentor someone a few steps behind.

    This is also a great venue to meet companies, get educated on their services, etc. Here is the growing list of brands participating in the Blogging Beauts 7/25 get together:

    Take it to the beach!

    Y’all ready for this one?

    Take it to the Beach!

    Invite summer and warm weather into your life with a beach inspired look.

    What to use for inspiration?

    Lord knows, sand, mermaids, water, bronze tans, martinis, bikinis, surfing, palm trees, sun, sunsets.

    [a must]: you cannot use the color black
    (except for mascara)

    Prizes and Inspiration Photos to follow.

    Now for the rules:

    1. There must be five pictures – 4 – of the look and – 1 – of the items used. Having an inspirational picture is not mandatory.
    2. You must post the look on your blog/page. If you do not have a blog, shoot me an e-mail with the links to your photos on photobucket/flickr/etc. I DO NOT accept attachments!!
    3. E-mail me at myownjudge@gmail.com to let me know what the link to your contest entry is. Also- enter a quick note about letting me use your images for when I post all entries. This is b/c I do not want to risk anything w/my computer and will not be opening e-mails with attachments, unless that is what we mutually agree on.
    4. Entries must be posted before/on July 25, 2009. I don’t want to mess around with time zones, so all I know is this: On Sunday 7/26/09 I will be posting all entries. This gives you over three weeks to prepare, and will leave five (5) days for judging. This contest will be judged by me with consideration to votes.
    5. There will be 2 winners. For every additional 5 entries after the first ten (10) entries, there will either be an additional runner up or another winner (i.e. 15 people = 3 prizes, 20 people = 4, etc.).

    As I have stated previously, I would like to run a contest monthly. If you have suggestions for a new contest, or have feedback for the contest or the rules, you know what to do. My e-mail address is widely available on this here blog. 🙂

    So excited to see what y’all think of!
