Jump, jump(suit) for my love
Jump(suit), I know my heart can make you happy
Jump(suit) in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump(suit), you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump(suit) for my love!
Eva Longoria looks good - cool & comfy. I think she's at an airport here, or a mall. Does Eva Longoria DO the mall?
Shakira, Shakira, Shakira. Oh don't mind me, I am not using a condescending tone, I'm just have one of her songs on repeat in my head, where the guy sings her name three times. She too looks cool & comfy here.
Scarlet Johansson -- I want to like it, I do...which I do, but only because you're wearing it and I truly dig you. But I can't LOVE this quasi-flightsuit, though I must admit YOU are WEARING IT, and not letting it wear YOU. So, points for that.
Alisha Keys. Oh honey, no. Nope. Uh-uh. NOT for hippy women, no matter how beautiful they are, I am sorry. Which is why I cannot wear a jumpsuit!
Selma Blair. I just don't know, I can't decide because I can't think because the way-too-long pants are distracting me. You might get hurt, honey. Don't fall victim to a fashion accident. I have talk about this before, here and here. Don't you read my blog? Well okay, I'm sure you don't. Just be careful.
Now, who would win in a jumpsuit-off between Selma Blair and Gwyneth Paltrow? Tough call. For me, it's Gwynnie by a hair (or a hem)...
Maggie Gyllenhaal, I just can't get behind this, even if it looks good from behind.
Same goes for you, Amber Tamblyn. It's kind of frumpy. And a hem, would it kill you to get a hem job?!
And the gorgeous Padma Lakshmi, who would win best dressed in the category of jumpsuit if only she had bothered to take this garment to a tailor and get it hemmed. Too bad - the winner is...
Malin Ackerman...I worry that you are skirting danger with the length of these pantlegs, but honey, you are rocking this jumpsuit. Two thumbs up! Now...there aren't as many jumpsuits to choose from right now as there are rompers, because the extra fabric adds extra heat in the middle of summer, but jumpsuits are a solid night-on-the-town source, so I tracked down some beauties for you. (Seriously, not for 5'2", 3 months pregnant me...because those who can't...share links.)
From
Tobi, the beautiful
Black Halo Jackie Jumpsuit, $435. I know, the price is a little steep but do you love it, or do you love it? It's the neckline that was on the incredibly popular Black Halo Jackie dress but in a gorgeous jumpsuit. LOVE it.
From
ssense.com, this one is so lovely.
Ksubi Black Strapless Jumpsuit, a more reasonable $272 and made in Australia. Oooh exotic!
Juicy Couture Black Smocked Terry Jumpsuit, $178. I just don't think I can support a velvety jumpsuit. But, someone might like it...for playing shuffleboard on the Lido Deck, Grandma.
From
shopbop.com, the
Helmut Lang Feather Jersey Jumper, $290.
I really want to rave about this one, I do...it might make me seem more worldly, more high fashion. But I shake my head. The sort of harem pant scares me. Lord knows, I don't need anything adding extra padding in the girth. However, on the right girl...in Paris, captured on film and posted at
thesartorialist.com maybe, it could work.
T-Bags Wide Leg Jumpsuit, $198. I like this one because it reminds me of Padma Lakshmi's. It also comes in other colors.
T-Bags Print Wide Leg Jumpsuit, $207
Theory Demara Jumpsuit, $215
Sue Stemp Jumpsuit, $766.50 - this one is quite 'spensive, but it's so fabulously Studio 54 it is insane!
I really love this one - because, stick ruffles at the neck of anything and I'm in it as quickly as possible. Can't help myself!
Sunner Florent Jumpsuit, $262

You know, if I had even an extra six inches I would definitely wear a jumpsuit (AFTER HEMMING!!!). Alas, I am not going to grow, so these are not for me. But, maybe for you?

This mascara offers great coverage and is easily removed, but it does go on nice and thick and dark - which is perfect for a heavier make-up day. Today, though, I felt like a light application...so I turned to another Cargo product, CARGO blu_ray High Definition Mascara
, $20.
It goes on with a thin coat, but you can apply more layers to build it up. And I love the applicator which is actually a lash comb, which really eliminates the need to have a separate lash comb to get out the gunks and chunks.
5. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil.
6. Soon after, like when the yummy fragrance starts to hit your nose and the onions are starting to get translucent, add the sliced carrots into the pan. Let them get warmed up and mingle with the onions and garlic.
7. The carrots are of course pretty hard, so continue to saute for a few minutes and then add in the frozen peas and corn. Stir it up so they can get acquainted with each other and warmed through.
8. While that's cooking up nice-nice, chop the chicken into nice bite-sized pieces.
9. When the chicken has all been chopped, the veggies should all be cooked and pretty hot, so it's time to push them aside to half of the pan, and then crack your eggs onto the hot, empty part of the pan. Immediately mix in with the veggies, and cook the eggs. (Heat should be around medium throughout.)
10. Now is where the fun really starts! Add in the chicken and the rice, and mix it up. If you're like me you not only underestimated how much this recipe would yield, but you also have NO frying pan large enough to contain it all! If this is the case, enlist your husband's help as I did, to dump it all into a large mixing bowl, as seen here in this flash of a photo. Hubby is fast!
11. Spoon about half of your concoction back into the frying pan and stir it up over fairly high heat, with a few pats of butter, and start to add in your soy sauce or Maggi. I used both...I like to introduce cultures to each other - here we have Polish and Asian. I had salted and peppered the chicken and the rice when it was cooking, so didn't add any more here but you can do so to taste.
...I am more of a fried rice purist, and stuck to Maggi.
Eva Longoria looks good - cool & comfy. I think she's at an airport here, or a mall. Does Eva Longoria DO the mall?
Shakira, Shakira, Shakira. Oh don't mind me, I am not using a condescending tone, I'm just have one of her songs on repeat in my head, where the guy sings her name three times. She too looks cool & comfy here.
