remembering amanda bynes: the best of our favorite amanda, please!

Okay, so I don't really know if these are the BEST clips, but they're some good ones I've found. I think we need these to warm our little hearts and remember the Amanda Bynes of yesteryear.

Hopefully it won't make the wounds hurt more.

Her stand-up comedy when she was just 10 years old:


Her introduction on All That:


Of course a little Ask Ashley:


The first ever Judge Trudy skit:


Great moments from What I Like About You:


Finally, bloopers from "She's The Man," to remember that she was cute even when not acting.


Sweet, sweet, Amanda Bynes... come back to us soon!

love,

coming in may: a month of pinspiration

Welp, I decided it's time I give myself another challenge... One that's way harder/more involved than what I've ever done....


Every day for the month of May, I'll be doing something that was inspired by a pin. Outfits, food, hair, make-up, crafts, decorations, work-outs... a little bit of everything! 

I've put together a list of my favorite pins that I'd really like to try, but part of this challenge will also be seeing if some of these popular pins actually work like they're supposed to. If you have one that you've been wondering about but don't have the time [or desire] to actually try it yourself, send it my way and I'll try it out for ya!

Everything will obviously be posted on the blog, and yes, I'm even going to try and do some on the weekends for once.

Wish me luck! I don't want to take the easy way out and always do the simple/quick pins, so this could be a long month. The plus side: It will be a lot of fun and it will keep me occupied. It will also [hopefully] get me and my house more than ready for the summer.

watch: baboons invade a house through a window

Y'all. This is like.... watching my Heaven exist on Earth.... but in a land not near mine. It's tear-jerking, but I love it.

An entire army of baboons broke into this guy's neighbor's house, and he filmed the whole thing. Literal sh!t is flying everywhere, but it's the most beautiful thing....

[Make sure you make it to 2:15ish at least, where they start yelling at one to get out through the door, as if it understands English.]


Seriously. I don't care about the damage done. I don't care if they start barking at me or whatever they're doing... I want baboons to live near me, and I want to leave my window open. I'll keep Slutty and Nugget safe, but they're welcome to anything else in here, as long as I get to play too.

Goodness, that's awesome. I need to move to a country with cooler animals.

love,
elizabethany

Good morning you [mostly] beautiful people! It's National Honesty Day. No lying allowed. Sorry.

Know what would never tell a lie?! The internet.

Now if we're still being honest.... We should bow down to this kid and surrender all our swag, cuz he's the king.

beyond the real world portland cameras: answers with averey

FINALLY I got a podcast set up to get a closer look at this new-ish season of Real World!

You all voted for her to be the first one, and I [eventually] made it happen!

Of course I had to ask her about the details of her and Johnny getting together, but I also really wanted to know more about her roommates. Is there any realness to Nia? Is anyone's sexuality questioned throughout the season? What is Jess like in person?

SHOCKING!: She says Jordan isn't as big of a douche as he's portrayed. I find that hard to believe, but I'll try and take her word for it for now.

I always liked Averey, but after talking to her.. she's one of the most real, and dare I say normal roommates I've ever talked to. She doesn't ever seem to be exaggerating something for a camera or an interview, she's just being her. And "her" is cool.



Next week/time I wanna get even deeper into some of these crazy people, so comment or tweet me with questions/comments. I have a feeling we're gonna need to know a lot more than what's being shown pretty soon.

love,
elizabethany

morning hangover 042913

Hopefully your Monday is looking a lot better than the gross, rainy one here in Virginia Beach. No matter how it is, make sure you DANCE for National Dance Day! Ellen-approved EB flashback time:



Now let's get to the goods on the Internet:
And that's that for now! You have a great start to your week, mmk?

what ya wearin wednesdays- some i've missed!

Every couple of weeks I try to search different but similar hashtags for What Ya Wearin Wednesday, just to make sure I haven't missed anyone. When I was talking to a friend this morning, he said he tagged someone in it but I missed the picture. I went back and realized he had done #whatchawearinwednesday, one that I hadn't checked before! Either people are halfway reading my mind and randomly posting their outfits on Wednesdays, or they've got it wrong and I've missed out on their outfits!

Now it's time to fix that. Here are some that I've missed over the past couple months.

@abnmitch had sparkles everywhere! 

@codyontheradio looks a little bit country, but totally cute for anywhere!

@captainamandica was stuck in traffic, but still cute in striped with the keyholes in the arms!

@averydiroh helped Spring feel welcome with a bright rainbow pullover!

Love the vintage feel of @mairlovemd's graphic tee and chambray shirt.

@_taytertot_ [who I learned is a sports reporter but normally posts about the marijuana] had an awesome leather vest.


@chassidymay has a way of making grunge look really cute.

LOVE @je_mappelle_jade's tied tank over a bodycon dress!

The little detail on @treesign's jean pockets are awesome.

Winnie the Pooh Halloween sweatshirt?! It's a win for @netuahannah

@nancymunoz93 makes a headband really pretty with her big earrings.

I think I'm all caught up now! But this goes to show that if you don't tag @luvelizabethany or #WhatYaWearinWednesday in your posts or tell me if yours don't appear on my blog, the world won't get to see your hottness! So don't be afraid to holler at me!

love,
elizabethany

morning hangover 042613

FRIIIIIIDAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

[Insert meme that I can't find here that talks about radio jocks always pointing out that it's Friday even though everyone is well-aware.]

Now help me out, Internet.
And F to the Y-I, Today is National Hairball Awareness Day, so be careful what you're hacking up. It's also National Pretzel Day.
Tomorrow is Eeyore's Birthday, so go ho hum yourself.
Sunday is Pet Parent's Day. So either celebrate Slutty Cat or make it all about you [assuming you have pet babies].

Whatever you do, just promise me this won't be you...


love,

watch etv: i challenged timeflies to face their fear of strawberries

Timeflies is a duo that's been around for a couple years making remixes and stuff [you've probably heard a bunch of them... I had em on my iPod and didn't even realize it], but now they're making their own stuff and are looking to hit the radio!

They came into the studio today and we did a group interview, but I heard Cal, the vocalist, had a fear of strawberries. Naturally, I made a plate of them and jelly... in the shape of a smiley face!


He apologized a bunch of times after this video... and I'll be honest- I'm a little upset... but guess I should let someone trust me or realize how awesome I am before I make them change their life on my video over anyone else's.

....No... eff that. MY NAME IS ELIZABETHANY! He has no excuse not to do it.

love,
elizabethany

PS: They were actually pretty cool... I'm just hating on his fear.

what ya wearin wednesday 042413

WEDNESDAY!, I love you.

And all of you!

@danocean's looking real dapper in the vest and tie!

@hwpolkadot's peplum top, hair, necklace, and black pants go together so well!

I love @noelliebrown's long, lace cardigan over the dress!

How great are @lalocakrys' shoes?! And with white pants/denim shirt?! Perfect.

There's more chambray on @andrealeitonblog! I love how simple the belt is, but it adds a lot!

@abaker1804's day and night outfits are both fantastic! I most especially like the coral/mint combo and what I assume is a white blazer. Ugh, I need a white blazer. 

@recuperer was comfy in a white sweatshirt, but I'm lovin' the Superman case and her bright hair!

@xxkaleigh1dxx showed off a collared, see-through shirt!

@teacher2b2017 combined the military-style and bright, girly colors!

A cute dress with pockets and a cropped jean jacket?! @toribabyy14 knows what she's doing.

@captainamandica got all kinds of deals when shopping today! And who can say no to a "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink" shirt?!

@kristin_bubblyonabudget sported a "grown up jean skirt," and I'm lovin' the bow!

@llllinds has an outfit that I'm just jealous of. She pulls of the tribal tank and I'm thinkin' a high/low skirt flawlessly! Also: The key necklace is a fun idea...

@joolreee is back with bows! Look at those beauts on her nails! She says they won't fall off, so I approve!

I know I said no PJ's, but how can you say no to an adorable baby and monogrammed onesie?! Thanks @one4chunk

@KaciKruz "got dressed up just for me!" [I get dressed up on Wednesdays just for y'all, so I appreciate the reciprocation!] I'm totally enjoying her colors!

If I were to see this dress on a rack, I'd pass right by it.. but it's gorgeous on @AloraBuzz!

@RomulaLynn has fancydancy nails, as usual! They, along with the hair piece, necklace, and curly hair look so good with her dressed down outfit!

@JannaShepherd ended up buying this dress at Kohl's when she couldn't find my maxi. Great purchase! It's going to go with so many things.

WYWW newb @bradlisan is like a professional! I can't explain how obsessed I am with this. Normally I contrast my blazer, but I love the matching corals and contrasting mint jewelry/heels.

As for me, I finally convinced myself to "splurge" and spend more than $20 on something that I know I'll wear a lot.

-denim moto vest from F21- $22
-orange dress from F21 $12
-sandals from GoJane $8
-necklace from Charlotte Russe $5
-earrings from BlueLans $1

I've been loving all the Pinterest outfits with jean jackets and vests, so I just had to get one. I feel like this moto style is more "me" than the regular ones, but I won't lie- I still have the tag on just in case I change my mind/decide I don't like the wash. Also... that necklace was a spur of the moment purchase but I can't tell you how many times I've worn it in the past two weeks. It's fantastic.

I love that so many of THE Spring 2013 styles show through in these posts. So many trends proving to be true on Wednesdays. Coral/mint. Chambray/denim. Lace, and Peplum. Fantasticness.

love,
elizabethany
