Little Man Easter Fashion

I've had the pleasure of photographing several adorable little boys over the past few weeks for Easter and I could not believe the swag they possessed.  One of the shallow reasons I wanted a girl was that I always felt there was a lot more cute and trendy clothing for the little ladies but I have been proven wrong.  Check out these to die for outfits.

I hope I eventually have a boy at some point and I hope I can dress him as well as these cuties. You can see some more adorable photos of these models on my Facebook page: Jenny O Studios. Where do you find the best little man clothing?! Please share...

Grumpy, Nasty Judges On Idol Tonight

Top 9

Boy oh boy did the judges wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?! Not that I disagreed with all their criticism tonight but I think they went about some of it in the wrong way. Plus they just looked cranky especially Nicki. Every time the camera panned to Nicki she had some "bleepy" look on her face. Get over yourself already! Now on to the performances.

Kree - An amazing start to the show with her amazing performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends." Fabulous song, fabulous rendition, not too much more to say except she looked beautiful as well. A definite member of tomorrow's top 3.

Burnell - Why do the judges always kiss this guy's behind?! I think he's very talented but every song sounds the same. Although I liked his R&B rendition of "Let It Be," I felt slightly underwhelmed. He also looked completely uncomfortable throughout the song. Why sing this untouchable song if you've never heard it before?

Amber - Did she sing beautifully? Yes but I was bored out of my mind while she was singing "She's Leaving Home." I fear this song choice could put her in danger tomorrow.

Lazaro - I love him but he looked completely uncomfortable during entire song. He was sweating and his eyes kept shifting. He didn't do bad but again I was bored. I think the judges were so hard on him when he was no worse than some of the others. He was visibly upset and tearing up and my heart was breaking for him. To make matters worse after the commercial break, Ryan went back to the judges and made a comment about it and they were just as nasty. Instead of trying to offer some words of encouragement they belittled him and basically told him to toughen up. Well, they accomplished one thing, ensuring his place in the top 3 tomorrow.

Candace - Her version of  "Come Together" was one of the best performances of the night. She'll be safe but whether she'll be in top 3 is yet to be seen.

Paul - Sang one of my favorite songs, "Eleanor Rigby." Started good and went continuously uphill. I thought this was a phenomenal performance along with great staging. I have no idea what Nicki's problem was or any of the judges for that matter. They didn't like it of course, they always pick on Paul no matter what he does. In my opinion he is the best guy this season. I truly hope the votes come in for him tonight.

Angie - One word...Stellar!! Her version of "Yesterday" was subtle and beautiful. A definite member of the top three.

Devin - Loved his R&B rendition of "The Long and Winding Road." Song was underwhelming but sang beautifully. Possible danger?

Janelle - The judges loved her performance of "I Will," I on the other hand not so much. I adore her but this was not her best, she obviously had trouble hitting some of the notes and compared to the other girls she cannot compete. She will certainly be a country star but I don't believe she has a chance at the "American Idol" title.

So my predictions for tomorrow are as follows. Top 3: Kree, Angie & Lazaro. Bottom 2: Amber and Devin.
Tune in tomorrow to see if I am right. And please share your thoughts, I love to hear your opinion.

Erin Go Brrrr....Montauk Parade 2013

How was the Montauk St. Patrick's Day Parade? I was really too busy shivering to notice.  My husband and I along with our daughter, Olivia and my friend Stacia took the hour and a half long trip out east to Montauk to meet my sister and nephew. It was my decision to head out early to beat the traffic and have some time to walk up and down Main Street before the crowds but with approximately 35 degree temps along with the wind that was probably a mistake. The last thing we needed was an extra hour and a half in the cold. At least Joe and Stacia were able to get their 10am chowder.

Yes, they are eating chowder at 10am

So after my daughter threw a complete hissy fit Joe was forced to sit in the car with her, he probably had the best deal because at least he had heat.  We were all anxiously awaiting the start of the parade and were honestly quite frustrated that it started almost a half hour late. After already waiting in the cold for two hours we just weren't in the mood for it any longer. It seemed a little shorter than usual and we couldn't have been happier to pack up and head to the warmth of the car.

Olivia and Joe came out to enjoy a little bit of the parade

Well, I will probably look back and laugh at this whole experience in a few weeks but I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong it was largely my own fault for bringing a one year old to a parade an hour and a half away in extremely cold temperatures. I think we will stay local next year so worse case scenario we just go home. Here's to hoping next St. Patty's is a little warmer.

St. Patty's Weekend Is Here!

Woohoo! We made it! Happy Friday everyone! I am looking forward to a jam packed weekend of fun and shenanigans. Tomorrow is my sister's birthday so we are meeting at my parent's house for some cake and goodies and then off to Dave and Buster's to celebrate. We can't come home too late though because we need to get up early Sunday morning to head out to Montauk for their St. Patrick's Day parade. We have been a few times but it will certainly be a little different with my daughter, Olivia, in tow but I have no doubt it will be just as fun. I will be sure to share some photos come Sunday night so stay tuned...

Well, have a good night all and I will be talking to you soon.  But before you go to bed be sure to head over to Life With Lovebugs to check out my latest post: Hot Zebra Print Nails In No Time At All.

Broke the wig and jacket in today for the fun filled weekend ahead

Beauty On A Budget: Bold Mascara

Obsessed with having my lashes look full and defined, I used to spend big bucks trying to find the perfect prestige brand mascara. I have found some decent ones along the way but nothing that I felt was worth the $25 I spent.  The happiest I have been with a mascara wasn't one I got in a department or cosmetic store but rather a drug store. It was Maybelline's Volum' Express The Colossal. It comes in classic black, glam black and brownish black. I use glam black all the way and it really makes my lashes look nice and full. It's debatable if it's any better than the prestige brand mascaras but it is certainly as good and I much rather spend $7 as opposed to $20 and up.

Rockin' the Maybelline's Colossal mascara in glam black

Well, you heard about one of my favorite mascaras, what's yours? I would love to hear what your favorite mascara is that's under $10. Please share!!

On a side note, anyone else loving the way up high bun this season?! =)
