I spy the Mancrazy

I spied in this paparazzi photo Ashlee Simpson carrying the LV Mancrazy bag. Oddly enough, it looks more like a Speedy in the way it sags, rather than a rigid bag, which is how it appears in the press photo.

I never knew Ashlee as an LV girl, while I always associated her sister Jessica as the LV queen, but perhaps her love for LV is rubbing off?

ashlee's gifts to her bridesmaids

I didn't really give a hoot about Ashlee Simpson's wedding to Pete Wentz, BUT, I always like to hear about what kind of party favors/gift bags are given away at these functions. Apparently, she was very generous to her bridesmaids, giving them a gift bag worth $650. Among the pieces in the gift bag was an "Alice in Wonderland" tote bag, t-shirt, and a Dillon Rogers 14kt gold charm necklace. On each charm was the initial of the bridesmaid, a wishbone, and Ashlee's favorite number 3.


I have to say, I like how she planned the bridesmaid's gifts. Very thoughtful in terms of the necklace, but I love the "Alice in Wonderland" theme even more.

musicians rocking their bling...

Fresh from my friend's wedding, which was long and beautiful and rowdy and perfect, I am still harboring the wedding high. Does it help that I caught the bouquet during the bouquet toss? I received many congrats from the other girls while my honey looked away...haha...

Anyhow, I don't have a ring to show off, but some celebs as of late do. I love seeing the glam jewels, 'cause who in reality that I know would walk around with 5 carat stones?

Ashlee Simpson is wearing this gorgeous ring, which I believe is an Asscher halo (but correct me if I'm wrong). It's so bright and sparkly and classic, I'm jealous! Pete Wentz has surprisingly traditional taste.


Carmen Electra, in the meanwhile, is sporting a black diamond ring. I definitely don't like this as much. The black diamond looks more like an onyx here, and the clear diamonds along the band don't really complement it. I think if there was a halo around the black diamond, maybe that would make it pop more. But it most definitely suits this very dark, goth couple.

Ashlee the Designer?

Bye and bye, I try to avoid any bags or clothing designed by celebs mainly 'cause they are less about design and more about cashing out in the name of the celeb. The one time in recent memory that I was tempted to buy anything designed by a celeb was the most aptly named Hayden bag, designed by (da da da dum) Hayden Panettiere. I immediately stopped myself when I remembered it was a Dooney & Bourke (HAH!), thus keeping my number of purchased products designed by a celeb at a nice fat zero.


I might change my mind this time around when Ashlee Simpson's line of t-shirts for Wet Seal come out on Apr. 22nd. I actually care very little about the younger Simpson sister, but I love the designs on her tees. (I know, I'm shocked myself!) I don't know how much design input she put in, but I really like the colorful and youthful animal prints. I know it's not a new style, but her version of the tees look demure and edgy, not sloppy or too masculine. Even the tees printed with artsy sketches of Ashlee aren't so bad, but since I'm not a fan of her per se, I'd skip those.


The price points aren't bad either, where most of the tees are listed between $16-$20. I love tees, I generally prefer wearing them over more glamorous fare (thus it's too bad I work in an office and can only wear tees on the weekends). Looking forward to seeing the entire line when more info. comes out.
