The Price of Candy Just Went Up


Did you hear that Daily Candy just got bought by Comcast for $125 million?
Do you know what Daily Candy is?
If you don't, then you should start to read it... daily.

And Comcast, please don't turn this fun little site into something boring, corporate, or worse, something that only actually works half of the time... you know, sort of like my cable service.

Timelines

Yesterday I was telling a friend that I didn't understand why people put such an emphasis on marriage.

Today I saw this picture on The Satorialist.


Now I am thinking I would gladly race down the aisle to an Italian man that looked like that.

Skylines and Music

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
Cause I want it all

Celebrate What's Underneath


Did you know that married men change their underwear twice as much as single men?
And that Italians wear red, Argentineans wear pink, and Brazilians wear brand new underwear on New Years Eve?

Now you do... Happy National Underwear Day!

kisses,
me

More From Lolla

Most IndividualisticIgnore the trio of khaki shorts and just focus on the pleated jean skirt in the middle. With black knee-high socks. And crocks. On a man. Oy! The end.

Best of Lolla: Part 1

Best dressed girl
Best dressed guy
Fedora-inspired hats were everywhere (damn my short hair... definitely not hat friendly!). The girl looked like she was having so much fun dancing around in hers. And the guy looked totally crush-worthy with his retro bag, long hair and straw hat.

Best of Lolla: Part 2

Best Retro Look
The picture doesn't do this girl's outfit justice, but she had on high-waisted black spandex shorts, a halter bikini top and heart sunglasses. It was all so absurd, but put together sort of just worked on her. (click on picture to make it larger and get a better look)

Conversations by the Lake

"Why do you like music so much?" he asked.

"Because it reminds me of someone when they're not there."
