Nice! This is the ‘hippest’ I’ve seen Reese Witherspoon (Mommy of 2) in forever. She finally looks her age for once (after all, she ONLY 32!) Here are some candids of Reese at LAX taken this past weekend (June 21st):
LOVE the fedora.
LOVE the blazer.
LOVE the shades.
And I LOOOOVE the (Fendi) bag. Le sigh…
Totally hipster. Totally works. Keep this up and I’ll add you to the Hot Mama list ;)
Work it out Reese!

I’m always yappin’ about hairstyles and nice hair cuts (or terrible ones) here at Hot Mama Daily and I was just put on to a really cool website strictly dedicated to hair care and great haircuts: The Cutting Chair
If you’re like me and are totally bored and uninspired the current state of your hair, I’d encourage you gals to check out their hairstyle gallery with pages and pages and pages of various hairstyles and hair colors to draw inspiration from.
Happy browsing! And don’t forget to let me know which hairstyle you chose! With before and after pics, please! Tee hee…

Oh okay, Jada! I see you Mama! My girl has been on a roll this month. She looks hot! And I don’t mean b/c it’s summer.
Here she was Tuesday (June 17th, 2008) at the Crystal & Lucy Awards (I have no clue what that is either…)
Oof! She looks mahhhhvelous!
And here she this past weekend at a movie premire with the entire Smith family:
Beautiful family.
Um, Jada dear, I’m going to need this ENTIRE outfit–stat!
Her hair - HOT!
Makeup - HOT!
Top & Heels - HOT! HOT! HOT!
Thou has redeemed thou-self Mrs. Smith, after the bizarreness that was Sideways-Mullet-Gate ‘08. Well done.
Now send me those shoes. This is a warning.

I know I bring them up all the time, but I DO love Old Navy. I really do. I think even more than The GAP, and more than Banana Republic. The prices at Old Navy are *always* just right and you can get really nice, chic items that don’t look cheap, yaknowwhatImean?
I just bought (jeez, I really need to slow down on my shopping as of late–right) their new rubber/blend metallic flip-flops. Got both the gold and silver.
They’re great. Word is Old Navy changed up from their foam slippers to a new rubber/blend combo for their flip-flops this year. Why the change? Well I read a few complaints online about their previous foam ones, and buyers weren’t too impressed with the foam model. And, I’m thinking Old Navy wanted to go the Havaianas route (Havaianas are fully rubber and super comfy. I’ll admit they’re great too–will post about those another day :)
Next up on the Old Navy list we have the Stretch Sateen Ballet Flats .
It is my new flat. They are PERFECT for when your pedicure is not in top shape *clearing throat* and you’re too lazy to re-fresh the pedi (what? My son keeps me busy. Yes, that’s my excuse!) You slip these on and they make ANY outfit casual or summer fancy look perfect. Price? $19.50. Yep. That’s it. They also come in purple, grey, and brown.
Now this one I’m mad about. I paid $68.00 USD for my Dolce Vita gladiators earlier in the spring, remember? But I noticed Old Navy has an eerily similar pair for how much you ask? 19-flippin’-50!!! As in $19.50!!! They’re also available in brown and gold. *Steaming* Arrrgggh!
I’m TOO mad that I didn’t wait. I’m always bragging at how I find great deals, but clearlyyyy I missed the boat on this one. Meh. It’s all good, y’all get to benefit, so get on it!

Actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, new mommy again to twin boys (she also has a teenage son from a previous relationship) is looking faaaaaa-bu-lous! I’m loving the citrus-y orange colored tube dress and how it looks against her gorgeous complexion.

I’m such an internet-aholic that I don’t even remember half of the time how I find certain gems online. Last week I discovered Big Buddha handbags and I’m a happy camper.
Founder and designer 21 year old (!!) F/T college student (!!!) Jeremy Bassan is doing his thing (see his Jeremy Bassan’s pic here). Big Buddha’s getting a lot of buzz in print and online with his lovely bags.
I first noticed the ‘Robertson‘ bag, and loved the pink (found it on Endless.com for $80.00 USD):

If you want the Robertson in either white, brown or orange, you can buy from the amazing folks over at Bur-Mar Shoes.com for $69.00 USD.
I wound up going for the larger ‘Miranda‘ bag (I’m a large tote/handbag fiend) @ $69.00 (from Bur-Mar Shoes). In case they sell out at Bur-Mar, you can also find them for a few bucks more ($72.00 USD) at Lori’s Shoes.com

I love the quited patent-leather look of both bags. Gives off a Chanel-ish vibe, with non-Chanel-ish prices. Works for me! Will post pics of my own bag soon.
See more yummy goodness at Big Buddha’s website here.
