This & That | VMA Recap

» this weeks double buns, on repeat. «

Hey hey hey!

So, who watched the VMA’s?! Is it not the best award show of the year?

Since it was pretty much the highlight of my weekend, I figured we might as well discuss what went down.

First things first, the red carpet::

+ Blue Ivy literally stole the show in that rose gold dress, rhinestone headpiece, & nude sneakers. Too much cuteness to handle.

+ Just NO to Nev Schulman (from Catfish) & his fiancé. She’s pregnant & wore slacks with an open bomber jacket, body chain, & no shirt. It was so strange, but got even stranger when they proceeded to have a maternity shoot.

+ Kim K. looked like she just went swimming with her clothes on.

+ Farrah Abraham dressed as wonder woman……..???

+ Hailey Baldwin killed it, per usual, in that black lace jumpsuit.

+ The guy from A Fault in Our Stars (Ansel?), looked liked Edward Scissorhands.

+ LOVED Ariana Grande’s little black get-up, the wide leg trousers & lace crop top were right up my alley. Plus, she’s like Polly Pocket, so everything is cute on her.

Now, for what went down during the show::

+ Rihanna was the coolest & I loved all the throwbacks (especiallyyyy ‘We Found Love’). Also, how cute is Drake? He was late to the show but got their just in time to give RiRi her Video Vanguard award along with the sweetest speech (totally was hoping he’d get down on one knee!!).

+ Kanye got weird, but what’s the VMA’s without a little Kanye crazy. Honestly, he bugs me, but he is good entertainment. Rambling on about T.Swift (who wasn’t there??), shouting out to Amber Rose & Ray J (awkward), & than shares with the world some soft core porn. I mean… a little much for MTV, don’t you think? What was the deal with cat woman?

+ Beyoncé does it again, & again, & again. She is magical & so happy she won the video of year!!! Literally, cheered out loud.

+ New found obsession with Halsey & The Chainsmokers. Their performance was so on point. If they’re not dating, they need to be.

+ Lastly… Britney. I know there are some die hard Britney fans out there, so don’t shoot me, but I didn’t dig it. Don’t get me wrong, she looked AMAZING, but the whole performance was just over choreographed & dated. Also, not a whole lot of cool effects & the back up dancers were not impressive.

OKAY. That’s my two cents. What’d you guys think?! Agree or disagree? Comment below & read on for some more of my weekend happenings + favorite things lately!

» I am loving this super soft, made in the USA, ‘Be Kind Today’ t-shirt from Doc Shorty. It’s the perfect fit & I love the message! Not to mention, they donate 10% of the proceeds to multiple sclerosis research- which is a cause near & dear to my heart.  «

» got my first food delivery from Plated & I am obsessed. Not really great in the kitchen, but this makes it so easy. Delivered all ingredients to my door & then gave me fool proof step-by-step instructions. It actually makes cooking very zen & clean up so easy. Last night I whipped up their insane peach + tomato salad with basil and buratta crostini’s. SO GOOD. Tonight, carrot pasta with turkey meatballs. Can’t wait!

» sporty Sunday vibes, while doing absolutely nothing all day (ironic). Wearing: leggings | jacket | hat | shoes «

» first look at my new tattoo- what do you guys think? I love how dainty & thin the lines are, plus really enjoyed coming up with this design! Wearing: Free People Sun Kisses romper… so so pretty!«
