Monopoly w/Sassitude


Hasbro has come out with a new version of Monopoly for its 75th anniversary which will be available for purchase in the fall of 2010. They are calling it “Monopoly Revolution Addition.” I normally don’t like updated versions of most things, but I actually think this new version of an old classic has Sassitude. You play this version with an ATM and debit cards. It apparently plays clips of popular songs such as Rihanna’s “Umbrella” after certain plays are made. I for one love board game nights and think this could be a great addition. I am looking forward to checking it out in person!

The Superbowl w/Sassitude and Swagger


Yesterday was the Superbowl, which I am sure you were aware of. It is one of my favorite days of the year as I am a huge football fan. I was rooting for the Colts but must congratulate the Saints and their fans.

Aside from the team I was rooting for not winning, I had a great time watching the game with friends which I think is what gives this event a lot of Sassitude to begin with. It is an event that brings family, friends and fans together. On top of that you’ve got all of the commercials and the elaborate half time show. It is really just a spectacle in the best way possible.

I wanted to show you all this candle fixture. While it is beautiful and has a lot of Sassitude on its own, I think this is a good example of adding some simple Sassitude to an object to fit a decorating theme.

Grammys 2010 - Jennifer Nettles in Victoria Beckham w/Sassitude


1. Jennifer Nettles in Victoria Beckham

I have to be honest – I am not familiar with Jennifer’s music. But this dress was my fave of the night and she worked it out on stage with Bon Jovi! The other surprise for me was that Victoria Beckham designed this! I know Victoria is a designer but I guess I just haven’t paid much attention to her designs till now. I will rectify this.

Red, pink and anything in the turquoise/teal family are among my favorite colors – so I obviously love the color of this dress. I think red adds instant Sassitude to just about anything - especially clothing. This was another dress that balanced elegant and geometric/abstract perfectly. I think this dress takes it one step further in that the top of it also looks very strong and sturdy without removing too much femininity from the overall look. And the black outlines flatter her already fantastic figure. She was the stunner of the night for me!

Wishing everyone a weekend filled with Sassitude!

Grammys 2010 - Beyonce in Stephane Rolland w/Sassitude


2. Beyonce in Stephane Rolland

I actually had a hard time trying to decide if this should be my number one pick or not. For me the deciding factor was that I love everything about the dress except for the zipper in the front. But I love everything else so much that I am willing to let the front zipper slide. Don’t you just hate it when you look at a dress or shirt and just wish there wasn’t that one thing that was a deal breaker?

Now back to what I love about it. I love that Beyonce chose to wear a dress with sleeves when most of the women went sleeveless. I think going against the grain in a fashionable way definitely shows some Sassitude. I love the geometric, contoured detailing on the dress. Even though there are a lot of shapes going on I think it gives the dress a lot of Sassitude. I think the geometric look of it also balances out the demure pale pink color of the dress. Beyonce looks gorgeous!

Grammys 2010 - Carrie Underwood in Georges Chakra w/Sassitude


3. Carrie Underwood in Georges Chakra

This dress accomplishes the perfect blend of being dainty and having Sassitude. Obviously the bottom is dainty and the top has Sassitude. What really makes this dress for me is the geometric/abstract neck. It could have made her look uncomfortable but instead she seems very comfortable in it. She looks pretty and elegant with just the right amount of edge for the Grammys!

Grammys 2010 - Pink in Tony Ward Haute Couture w/ Sassitude


4. Pink in Tony Ward Haute Couture

I honestly can’t picture anyone else wearing this dress. It is gorgeous! Sometimes a dress that is predominately gray can be somewhat of a downer. But not in this case! I love the scalloped tiers that go from light gray to black. I actually think it adds more Sassitude to the mermaid silhouette (which already has plenty of Sassitude on its own). I also love the jeweled band at the waist and the jeweled bust line. Pink has never looked more stunning! And I can’t ignore the amazing performance she gave – it was breathtaking!

Grammys 2010 - Lea Michele in Romona Keveza w/Sassitude


I’m sure many of us were aware that last night were the Grammy Awards. Needless to say I will be picking my five favorite red carpet dresses this week.

5. Lea Michele in Romona Keveza

Lea Michele has been three for three this awards season. And each time she has displayed a new look successfully. I simply love this mini dress. The sheer one-shoulder overlay and feathered skirt give this dress some fun flirty Sassitude! She looks absolutely sexy and adorable at the same time!
