Jlamore.com has two great new gals added to the ever growing list of shopping friends. I would like to introduce Meaghan from New York City (left) and Kate from Hartford CT. (right)I am a girl who loves her boots! I was checking out the site...like always and decided that I need to stock up on all the beautiful boots that jlamore has to offer! I'm obsessing over the Manas "Capri Nero" Boot, and the Modern Vintage "Summer Cherokee" Boot! Both of these boot are great to wear over leggings, jeans, and with skirts too! Happy shopping!

I thought you would all get a kick out of this blog!
Too bad I say almost all of these things to my boyfriend. No wonder why he rolls his eyes all the time :)
1. "That looks cute."
For the most part, men hate cute. We don't want to hear about it, we don't want to see it, and we sure as hell don't want to be it. If we come down stairs after getting dressed and you tell us we look cute, there's a 100 percent chance we're changing. We're supposed to be your protector, your rock, and cute does not fit into that picture.
2. "We need to talk."
These four words shut off a man's brain faster than long division. When men hear you say that they immediately go into flight mode. And anything they can do to get out of this conversation—and better yet, your apartment—they will. There are plenty of other ways to approach a delicate conversation, and getting us in a place where we feel comfortable is a good start.
3. "It's just a game."
Actually, it's not just a game. Sports are a major part of our lives and the outcome has as much to do with our mood as just about anything else. Is it fair? No. Is it right? No. Is it immature? Maybe. But it's life. Sometimes we just care too much. We understand that it doesn't make sense, but you should be happy that we're that passionate about something. Telling us that "it's just a game" is like us telling you that Oprah's just a talk show host.
4. "Nothing's wrong."
Please don't tell us nothing's wrong. The look on your face could make the toughest guy on the planet weep like a third-grade girl and your arms are crossed so tight you might explode. We're not mind readers; tell us what's going on. And don't make us guess because—believe me—you won't like what we come up with.
5. "I sound like my mom."
The mere fact that you might turn into your mom someday scares the hell out of us. Don't say it, even in jest—it's not funny. We actually believe (and pray) that the saying "every woman ends up looking like their mother" is an old wives' tale. If we didn't, no one would ever get married.
6. "I just want to be friends."
No you don't. You just want us to stop calling you. This is a lot like pulling off a band-aid. Do it quick—don't prolong the agony. Most of us take "I just want to be friends" as "There's still a chance," so if there isn't just make it a clean break and move on. Everyone will be much better because of it.
7. "Size doesn't matter."
Don't lie to us. We know it does, and we're doing our best to make up for it in other ways. It's best just to not say anything at all.
8. "What are you wearing?"
We're wearing whatever's clean or whatever you tell us to. We don't plan out our wardrobe days in advance, but we do actually try and look presentable. It may not work a lot of the time, but we do give it a shot. Giving us direction is completely encouraged though, so go ahead and suggest … nicely.
9. "Do you think she's pretty?"
Of course we do, our standards are much lower than yours. But just because we check her out doesn't mean we think any less of you. We try to be as discreet as possible, but for the most part, we can't help it. It's in our DNA. When an attractive woman walks by, it's best to just pretend nothing happened.
10. "Which outfit do you like better?"
I'm going to be honest here—90 percent of the guys out there are not going to tell you which outfit they like better: They're going to try to pick the one you like better and not get into a holy war when the babysitter is due any minute. To us, you always look good. Getting a couple cocktails and spending as much time as we can without the kids is our ultimate goal for a rare night out.
I did watch the SAG Awards last night too Julie. I loved the Ice Queen look last night. These women were dripping with elegance and sophistication.
My two favorites of the night were Britney Snow and Ashley Tisdale. These dresses were gorgeous and fit them perfectly.
Did anyone else see the SAG awards last night? I did and of course one of my main reasons for doing so was to see how everyone dressed. To be completely honest I didn't see many dresses I liked. One I did like was Vanessa Williams yellow gown. I love bright colors, especially this one with her gorgeous skin tones! On the other hand, some bright colors can look gaudy and well, kind of like a birthday cake! Sandra Oh's hot pink and black dress was quite the... eye catcher to say the least! She should of checked out the gorgeous dresses at jlamore.com instead.

Here is a question for all the jlamore.com friends. What is your all time least favorite trend?
I have a serious problem when women wear jeans with no back pockets. I think they were in style for one season when I was in high school, so why are people still wearing them?
What do you think friends?

Even though there is still snow on the ground and in the mid 20's we must start looking into our closets and admiring all the spring and summer clothes that we have, and more importantly the ones that we need. Spring and Summer trends are always consists of jeweled sandals and straw bags.
This summer we are going see tons of bold electric colors, canary yellow, Plum, electric blue, Kelly Green, and many hues of pink. We are going to bring flowy dresses into our every day wear with jeweled sandals and chunky bangles. Have fun with you look and stand out with big bold eye wear.
It is never too late to start buying our Spring wear. jlamore.com has incredible new spring ready to wear pieces.
Caitlin
Jlamore.com is on top of the trend this season with electric blue color. This Wendy Katlen "Charm" Dress is so gorgeous and stunning. Lily Allen and Eva Longoria have great style and look fabulous in this bright blue color.
Amy
Are we all getting excited about new summer dresses? I know I am. Susana Monaco is one of my all time favorite designers. The"Pattern String" Dress is so cute and it fits so perfect.
I can't wait to see all the new styles and trends coming in 2008 at jlamore.com!
Amy
This spring is all about color! I can't wait to see what is in store for jlamore.com for Spring 2008. So far I'm loving all the "What's New" items on the site.
I love this Susana Monaco "String Babydoll" top. Yellow is one of my favorite colors to wear and I am so excited to wear this with jeans or cargo shorts. I know I have awhile to wait because at the moment it is -2 degrees!
Amy
I love the new Susana Monaco "Pocket String Halter" Top. This little halter will be perfect for spring! It's so simple, yet it could be worn so many different ways. I'm planning a trip to AZ for Spring Break and I know that this will be coming along with me!! J. LaMore also carries this top in a beautiful teal blue color. Both are great!
I haven't thought too much about Valentine's Day but I guess I better because it's just around the corner. Ryan is taking me to the Blue Marlin on the Capital Square, Downtown. I love getting dressed up and having a romantic night out. I never wear red though so I think I would choose to wear either the Black Halo "Boat Neck" Dress or the Sky "Halter Chain" Dress. Either way I'm going to have to wear a heavy jacket because it is fffffffrezzing!!!
Amy
What to wear on Valentine's day! My attire depends completely on my plans. As of right now, it's up in the air if my night will be a dinner date, something with my family, or something with my girlfriends. Here's what I could wear to any of these possibilities:
I'm in love with the new designer Linq! The "Double Button Tunic" dress is by far my favorite. All the buttons and the high neck give this dress a military feel. It looks fabulous on the jlamore.com homepage too!
This dress could easily be worn in the fall and the spring.

It is crazy to think that only a mere four years ago, Katie Holmes was seen running around town in Levi Jeans and flip flops. Now the magazines are filled with pictures of Mrs. Holmes in designer clothes head to toe, toting around $10,000 Hermes Burkin Bags. The influence of her husband Tom Cruise has really impacted her fashion and life style. I never thought that I would see Katie Holmes side by side Posh Spice in a battle for Fashion Diva.
I will have to say that Katie Holmes transformation is one in a million. She looks incredible. At the 13th Annual Critics Choice awards Katie is wearing a beautiful Lanvin Gown. The gold under tones look vibrent with her olive skin and chocolate bob. This dress reminds me of ABS "Gold Bubble Tank" Dress. It is classy and chic. This dress is a perfect alternative for the Lanvin dress that Katie walked the red carpet in.

Okay- while I usually am craving some winter weather by this time of year (believe it or not it is possible to get sick of 80 degree temps year-round), I am definitely NOT envious of the weather that much of the country is getting right now. Negative-digit weather does not sound appealing at all, and makes me appreciate walking around in shorts and sandals! Those people who were brave enough to go to Lambeau Field last night are crazy in my book! I think even if I were Brett Favre, I would've said, "Um, no thanks.. too cold for me!!" I love ya, Brett, but maybe you should have stayed home based on the final score of the game!!!
But I digress- if I were in the frozen tundra that you all are experiencing, I would love to look great with some jlamore.com items keeping me warm! For example, the Urchin "Charcoal Cardigan" Sweater with Twisted Heart "Heart Break" T shirt underneath would feel so toasty with a pair of Union "Goddess Cord" Pants. Now that would look HOT when the weather is COLD!
