ALU Link Love 8-22-10

It just figures that the one weekend I have no plans, it’s all gloomy outside.  Makes me want to do nothing but cuddle up on the couch.  Good thing IFC is running a marathon of Freaks & Geeks today.  We did brave the rain long enough to catch The Other Guys last night and it was a lot funnier than I expected though I think Marky Mark’s angry cop made me laugh more than Will Ferrell as the odd man out.

On Friday I attended a tweetup at a neighborhood bar and met some cool new peeps.  Turns out one of the girls became obsessed with butter LONDON Fash Pack after seeing Nonie Creme talk about it in a backstage video at the Fall Betsey Johnson show.  And another went and bought a green nail polish at Sally’s after hearing me and another nail lover tweeting about it. Nail fanatics unite!

Looking for a some lazy Sunday reading?  These are my faves of the week…

How has a pair of bright green Chucks like the ones DWJ posted on The Art of Accessories not made their way into my life before now?  I see a Zappos order in my future.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to see Kristen from Beauty Addict blogging again and it’s posts like this one that are the reason why.

After seeing this glam ruffled laundry bag on Amber’s blog ,Beauty Blogging Junkie, my sad, ripped, red bag from college may finally meet its maker.

BellaSugar completely demystified the fishtail braid which I always thought would be really complicated to create.  So much easier than I expected.

I died a little bit inside when I spotted these glitter covered Miu Miu oxfords on Dina from eye4style.  I doubt I could ever pull them off as well as Dina so I will just continue to covet hers.

Beth from Glamour’s Girls In The Beauty Department blog thinks the big nail color battle for fall will be purple vs blue.  What say you?

Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog is probably one of the most creative beauty bloggers on the scene.  Her take on MAC’s Venomous Villains collection includes her usual quirky twist on beauty.

Local Cleveland blogger Ashley from Our Little Apartment hasn’t shampooed her hair in almost a month and even though I’m a hair product junkie I’m thinking of doing the same thing.
