Summer is just around the corner and I love all the amazing colors that are coming out! This Susana Monaco "Tuscan Halter" Top is the perfect example of the rich colors to come this season!
I own a million tops by Susana Monaco and I plan to own a million more!
Hi everyone: I have to agree with all the buzz around the Internet about Paula Abdul. She should be voted off the show right along with Jason Casto. Jason doesn't care he's even there. He so dumb too! He says he singing the wrong lyrics for the song he chose right in front of Neil Diamond. OMG are you kidding me? Why would he admit that to the world.
American Idol must be pretty entertaining this season if all the friends but me knows what is going on! I'll have to start watching it... soon!!
Is it just me or does anyone else think Paula Abdul should be voted of American Idol. I didn't understand one thing she was saying tonight and when she speaks I want to throw my wine glass at the TV.
This weekend was a blast at Madison Fashion Week! All of Jennifer and Jessica's hard work paid off, it was a great show. This picture was taken on Friday night at the Men's show.
Julie, you looked so adorable both nights. I love the pictures you posted.
I had a great time so thank you Jim and Jennifer for a great weekend!
Jennifer and Jessica, you guys rock! Those are some amazing models. I would have loved to have seen the show. I can hardly wait to see the other pictures. I also love the 3 J work shop tunic dress. Adorable! I would get it but now my size is gone.
God those models are just so gorgeous! They all did a fabulous job at the show on Saturday! It was such a blast!! Here's a few pictures from Fashion Week!
Lindsey! You definitely need to get the 3 J Workshop "Budapest" Tunic Dress for when you go to L.A. This is my favorite what's new item! I have it and it's so comfortable and it's 100% cotton so it will be great to wear in the hot L.A. weather! You'll look fabulous in it!

WOW! I have to show some of the photo's we took during the model fittings for the fashion show tonight for Madison Fashion Week. Some of the professional runway models we have for the show tonight are from all over the Midwest and they are AMAZING! WOW!
We have ten models but ran out of time right now to put them all up on the blog. 
These gals are incredible and we had so much fun watching them pose and "work it" for the camera. The new friends and contacts that we made participating in this event has been wonderful. We also want to say thank you to Jessica, our amazing stylist who organized the fittings and put all of this together for J. LaMore. We couldn't have done this without you.Hi Jennifer: Nice job on Madison Fashion Week. You have quite a buzz going! It's no great surprise to anyone who knows you that you would be the go-to person for that. I saw the video on you from the link and thought I would add it for everyone else to see and read about J. LaMore. I wish I was there. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Jennifer! Just saw you and the store on the news talking about Fashion Week! You look so fabulous in that Salvage top. (Jess! I saw you too!)
Ok! Ok! Ok! All my friends at work will say to me "I told you so". I now have to give in to the power of the "fan base". It's either that or I'm tone deaf and need to see a doctor.
...has officially begun! Unfortunately I'm stuck in Milwaukee till Friday so I cannot make any of the weekday events, but those of you who do... I'd love to hear about them! I can't wait for the first event I can go to which is the Friday night Menswear Runway Show. It's going to be a blast!! Click the picture to the right for more information about all the events!

Fashion Week has officially hit Madison WI and we are incredibly excited! Take a peak at the Madison Fashion Week website which gives, in detail, every event that is taking place over the next four days. If you are in the area, come to the events! It is going to be a blast. Lindsey, are you planning on coming up from Milwaukee?
Idol was a little disappointing for me last night. I didn't like too many performances. Although, Randy was right when he told David Archuleta his song was the "bomb" I could'nt agree more. Give him any song and he will blow it out of the water. Overall, I think both Davids are going to be on top.
I agree with you Lynn, I think Brooke, Jason and Syesha will be in the bottom three.
Oh Brooke! What happened! I'm crushed that Brooke White stumbled on the first few words of her Andrew Lloyd Webber song "You must love me" and had to tell the conductor to start over. I was stunned! But then, she came back strong and the song was breathtaking. She did a fantastic job with it.
However, (drama) Simon and Randy didn't care for it that much and Bimbo Abdul told her she should never start over but just keep singing through the mistake. I completely disagree with that advice. Even Randy and Simon said she did the right thing by starting over. At least Brooke didn't break down and cry but, her lip did quiver a little.
I feel that Brooke will be in the bottom three for sure and will probably be voted off tonight. There is hope for her, though. Jason Castro sang the song "Memory" from Cats and it was awful! Even Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber thought it was a bad choice and he has never hear a male sing that song. Randy called it a "train wreck" and Simon said "it was the longest two minutes of my life." Jason had never heard the song before and didn't know that it was sung by a female cat in the play "Cats". Wow! I must be really old.
The highlight of the evening was listening to 'Sir Andrew' teach and talk to the contestants. Amazing! What a talent he is and so interesting to listen too.
Carly Smithson had a great performance of Jesus Christ Superstar. I loved it. What I really thought was interesting was when 'Sir Andrew' told her not to sing the song she wanted to sing and switch to 'Superstar'. How can Simon and Randy say it was a bad song choice when Andrew Lloyd Webber tells her to sing it. Good call and it was great.
David Archuleta and David Cook we're really good too! Syesha Mercado was, well, . . . forgetable. She looks fantastic but her range in singing is not good. The judges liked her but I'm still a hold out.
My picks for the bottom three are: Brooke, Jason and Syesha. Brooke gets the hook.

I'm so excited about my new rocker tee shirt I got from J. LaMore. I wore it to a friends party on Saturday and got tons of compliments. I paired it with dark wash wide leg jeans and big hoop earrings. It was different from what I normally wear so people were a little surprised by it.
My dad was a huge fan of Black Sabbath back in the day so I thought it would be a cool vintage look. A couple of my girlfriends really liked all of the rhinestones, but what girl doesn't like a little sparkle!
It sounds like all of the friends are loving the new Fashionista stuff coming in. It's all so chic and sophisticated, of course I love it too.
The Fashionista "Dawn" Dress is one of my new favorites because it would be a perfect day into night look. For work I could pair it with a cardigan and tights. At night I could wear it with flashy heels and some funky jewelry.
I'm always looking for versatile pieces like this for my wardrobe.
I love the new Fashionista "Colleen" Top!! The geometric pattern is so cute!! All the summer items that J. LaMore is getting in are so beautiful. Those homepage images sure make me want to find a reason to wear a blouse and a pencil skirt!
This Fashionista "Jennie" Blouse looks amazing! I'm loving the color and that it's 100% silk. It goes really well with the Fashionista "Leopard" Skirt.
This will be a great look for work, and I also think that the top will go great with a pair of wide leg light wash jeans too!
This look is so feminine and sexy, I can't wait to wear it!

It's always fun to see what new and great things Sky comes up with. I think this "Adey Rock" Top is so bright and hip for Spring. Sky always has great colors and beautiful beading too.
I can picture myself wearing this top with my Miss Me "Montague" Jeans and a great pair of heels out for a night with the girls.
Jennifer, let me know if you find those jeans, they were too cute!

Hi Amy and Friends!
Hi everyone: Kristy's gone and I have to say, I feel kinda bad about it. I don't think she's that great but she's not that bad either. For the longest time she was driving me crazy but now, I think I'm going to miss her. Knowing that she's gone is just one step closer to Brooke being voted off! Brooke is such a whinny weepy little thing. Crying all the time is not helping her and she cannot take any form of criticism whatsoever. Now she is the one who's driving me crazy and the next Idol voted off and now I can hardly wait. Kristy was tougher and faced the criticism ten times better then "weepy".
Bye Bye Kristy Lee Cook! I'm feel kind of bad, but I'm really glad Kristy went and not Brooke. I know I'm not the only one who is happy about Americas decision. Even though, Brooke has not impressed me lately I am still of fan of hers.
The girls better step it up next week. I was still shocked that Carly wasn't in the bottom this week.
Jennifer, I can't wait to hear your thoughts. I know you are as addicted as the rest of us.
Amy
Hi Jennifer and everyone: I found this very funny picture of Kristy Lee Cook on the TMZ. The TMZ knows all and I get tons of gossipy good stuff from the them.
Check this out! Nice hair! I agree with all of you that the boys kicked the girls butt this week. I am so hooked on this show and its getting fun to watch and see what happens as it get closer to the end. Kristy Lee Cook should get voted off. She's hung around far too long with average talent.

Hi Amy and everyone at jlamore.com: I have to agree, the men we're so much better then the girls in Idol last night. Not even close and the bottom three are Brooke, Kristie Lee, and Carly, and I fear that weepy Brooke will get the boot. I used to really like her and maybe I just don't anymore. She has let me down far to many times.
Not only did I watch Idol and Dancing with the Stars, but Juno too. I have been dieing to see this movie, so of course I rented it the day it came out. I have been hearing what a great movie this was. I had very high expectations and I was not disappointed. It was a great movie!
Juno was so cute and funny, she is a great actress. It was sad and happy with a very realistic plot. Everyone needs to see this movie, I promise you will love it.
Hi Everyone!
