Meh… January Jones’s dress looks too much like a mullet. (Same with Anna Paquin’s) Kyra Sedgwick’s hair is too undone. Keri Russell looks too much like an extra from “Dirty Dancing.” Likey… A lovely combination of navy and gold on Jayma Mays. A lovely hairstyle on Tina Fey… finally!

Oysters at Felix’s Not pictured: Char-grilled oysters that were BEYOND insane. Beignets and Hot Chocolate at Café Du Mondé My dad was the only one of the group who accidentally sniffed the powdered sugar. And suffered.

Our neighbor’s children made this adorable Valentine’s Day- themed snowcouple on Sunday. Sadly, by Monday, they had lost their carrot stick noses and most of their heft.

I’ve been blond for almost two years now, and while I have to agree that blonds have more fun, brunette suddenly seems more sophisticated.
