Movie Review: Back Up Plan



If you know me, you know the genres of movies I like to watch is pretty limited. It comes down to about 2 words... Romantic. Comedy. Or the heavenly hybrid... Romantic Comedy. So you can imagine my excitement when I see previews for J-Lo's "The BackUp Plan".
Well this past weekend, my friends and I ventured to Orange Beach for a weekend getaway from Auburn. We woke up Saturday to a completely gray sky--doom and gloom weather. After sitting around the condo all morning watching The Hills marathon, we decided to go see "The BackUp Plan" at the Wharf. Better a movie on a rainy day at the beach than a movie on a rainy day in Auburn.
MISTAKE. I don't know who the movie producers paid to get good reviews aired on TV (because they got my hopes up), but somebody somewhere used some bribery. This movie, granted it had a few cute moments, was full of grotesque scenes. The only redeeming quality it had was J-Lo's wardrobe. She had the trifecta: cute clothes, drool-worthy jewelry and a killer purse. Here is one picture of my favorite outfit:


The noteworthy item that I am obsessed is her Linea Pelle leather wrap bracelet that she wears on her right wrist and a statement ring on her left hand. I'm in complete envy of both! They are statement pieces that are easy to throw and complete your outfit. An effortlessly chic look if I do say so myself!

This is her bracelet:

They didn't have her exact ring, but here's some that can get you the same look:

Let the Google-ing begin to find the rest of her outfits from the movie!

My Life Is Complete. Literally.

It Happened. It Happened. It Happened. What happened, you ask? I found it. My life is complete. Ok hold on, I am getting ahead of myself and need to fill you in. FRIENDS SEASON 6 is what I am drooling over. If you don't know, Friends is my obsession. It's like background music to my life. Over the 3 years in college I've collected the seasons (there are 10 total), and up until last summer I had all 9--only missing 1 season. So this year I would pop in once a week in our local Target, Wal Mart and Hastings to check on the inventory of this beloved DVD set. Knowing Auburn and their lack of connection to the outside world, not one store had it. Infuriating as that was, I brushed it off and busied myself watching past episodes, hoping that one day I would find the Season 6. Well every week I checked... and checked... AND CHECKED. Nothing. I seriously thought it was like the Twilight Zone season and they didn't film it. Knowing this, you can imagine my surprise when I pop into Hastings last Wednesday and see this little green box sitting on the shelf. I think the Halleluijah chrous started playing in the background! I swiped it up and left that store happier than a fat kid at a buffet.
So nonetheless, my past week has consisted of watching these magical episodes. One of my favorites that I forgot about was "The One Where Phoebe Runs" -- I died out laughing (as usual!). Here's a clip to entertain you!!
