These small city girls got to see "THE CITY" girls in action

Okay, so I have to admit that I, (a married 29 year old, with a child) love, I mean watch the "The City" and "The Hills." I have been watching it since day one, back in the "Laguna Beach" days.

So, on my last trip to market with Celia and Cindy, you can't imagine how excited I was to hear that they were filming "The City" at market!!! We had seen Whitney at market  the year before (talking about a tall girl) but this time was the real deal..

We were way too cool to go in for a closer shot, mostly because no one else even cared, but this is them filming for tonight's show. Pretty neat...this was way back in February.

Watch tonight at 9:30 on MTV to see them at Coterie. Pretty cool. Roxy, Kelly Citrone, and Whit (haha) were all there! Check it out girls!

You may see us walking down their isle (back and forth...til we got busted!)

Morgan + Morgan

Soo...as you all know, we are back from the NYC trip, but I am not here to report about the fashions we found, I am reporting on whatwho we saw!  Okay, so I'll admit, I am a little starstruck, only a tad though (as celia and cindy are rolling their eyes). We saw a several interesting people but I am going to start out with a story that is very near and dear to my heart. (L-Ing Out Loud)

Most people are not aware, but I am, in fact, named after Morgan Fairchild. No, I do not know her, she is not family, and I don't even know what movie or tv show she played on. However....my parents, particularly, my dad, were big fans and loved the name. Back to the sighting, so we are at dinner at "Le Caprice" in The Pierre Hotel (where Tory Burch lives) and in walks Ms Morgan (the famous one, not me). I call my parents to tell them and my dad said I must go over and introduce myself, "You've got to go introduce yourself, how often do you meet your namesake?"

After getting my liquid courage up, I went over to introduce myself only to find out that my H&M tag was hanging out of my dress! I was so embarrassed! On top of that, she wasn't really that nice. I mean, I know I'm not famous, but  if someone came up to me and told me they were named after me, I would be so honored!  Maybe she was ill because all she had for dinner was steamed broccoli!

More of our sightings to report on later!!! peace out, Morgan.

Good Eats...

Just a follow-up on an

earlier blog post we did on places to eat and cool hotspots in New York. Thanks all for your responses....here is what we did....

Sunday Night....we  had drink at the hotel bar and then headed over to Nobu which was absolutely delicious (thanks Steve for the hookup)! We had a great time and loved having our waiter pick out our entrees. On top of that, the martinis were awesome.....definitely recommend having one (just one ha) if you visit there.

Here is a pic of Cindy's first bite of sushi...

Monday Night.... we went to a really cool spot at the Ace Hotel Bar for a drink...really cool place with couches everywhere and even a photo booth! Here is a pic...

 Then we headed over to the Meatpacking District to...STK which hands down has the best bread I have ever eaten. On top of that, everything else was delicious too!

Tuesday Night...right after market we headed over to the bar in the Hotel Griffou which is supposedly becoming a really popular spot to hang (and lots of celebs to see). For dinner, we saved the best for the last night. We went to Elios in the Upper East Side, an Italian restaurant, that I would describe as "old New York." This is the type of restaurant that the locals visit on a weekly basis (like Martha Stewart...next to us). I can see why because it is absolutely amazing. So amazing, that one chick with us became a member of the clean plate club! :)..and it wasn't a small plate!!

I would definitely recommend visitng each and everyone of these places next time you are in New York. Peace!

Is White after Labor Day Right?

It's an old-school rule that you shouldn't wear white after labor day. However, I think it's not so true anymore....especially when concerning jeans or pants. Now, of course you can't be strutting around in a white tank top and white cut offs in the middle of fall....

but.... I think white looks fabulous after Labor Day if worn "tastefully." Here is what I mean by "tastefully" (keep in mind, this is only an opinion...)

-When I think of fall and winter fashion...I think of chunky sweaters and wraps                                      with jeans. Loving these jeans with a black chunky turtleneck and flats! (Anlo Brooke White Skinny Jeans...we have them here    and 50% off.

-Another reason we love white after Labor Day is because it's ALWAYS on sale this time of year. The above jeans are a great example of this....50% off...what a steal!

-Linen should most definitely go into "closet hibernation." Not so much because of it's color, but because it is a summer fabric.

So if you start to question if you have to put up your whites from this summer, you are getting the "seal of approval" from us Willow girls in the deep south! Go for it!! -Morgan

                                                                                                                    

Kickin Boots

It is August, we are at the beach in Florida and it is fabulous. Unlike our average August 110 degree heat index, it is in the 60's at night and the 80's during the day. So yes, that is still hot, but you can breath and being outside is quite pleasant.

This little teaser of brisk warm weather gets us thinking about Fall. What is the first thing that comes to your mind??? For us it's either no tourists {love and hate feeling} or college football, and oh yea....Fall fashion. So this post is per the request of my lil-taller sis and it's all boots!

First, her Fall 09 dream boot: Jenny where can we find these??

These are the gals I covet: Antik Batik Camden Boot

Cindy's top pick..the perfect blk boot: Loeffler Randall Camilla Boot

Last and definitely not least, Morgan's top: Cynthia Vincent's Vera Boot:

Had to throw these in for good measure: Chie Mihara & Golden Goose..(GG=dream boot..Christmas list takers??? )

Back to School!

Big day at our house...our little tot started preschool! Last night as I was preparing his things and picking out his "first day of school outfit," I began to reminisce....Remember how much fun it was to go school shopping and then come home and lay out all your new clothes? The first day was always the hardest to pick because there were so many "new" options and....it was the FIRST day of the NEW school year... we had to dress to impress!

If I could go back and have a chance to pick out an outfit for the first day of school, here is what I would choose (hey moms, guess we could pick out a "first day of carpool outfit".....if we really felt the need to! ha!

 

Lauren Moffatt top....paired with Vince leggings!

Hope everyone has a great school year! Peace out...-morgan.

My Willow Wishlist...

Okay, so I've done my "morganizing" for the morning and now I'm cruising the racks.
Here is what I'm all about today...

"Pink Electric Bloom Top" by Tucker $264.00
Love love love this top! Kelly Ripa wore it not too long ago and look adorable.


Alice and Olivia Beaded Strap Tank/Dress $365
This could be worn as a top or a dress which I love. Think I might try belting it too!


Milly Drawstring Lace Top $366
Think this top speaks for itself...so classic. Would be so cute with white jeans. :)

That's all for now...Happy Tuesday!
