a group of gals and i went to go see Magic Mike on saturday night. it was pretty amazing ~ and by amazing i mean matt bomer is in it. and as long as i get to see matt bomer every once in a while, i'm happy. i'm not a huge fan of channing tatum ~ he's kind of meaty and a little too muscly for my taste. but that boy can dance. the rest of the guys are just ok for me, too (except that wrestler who is in it...he's just a plain meat head). the other lead, alex pettyfer, is pretty cute, but he looks a lot like my brother-in-law, so i had that in my head the whole time i was watching the movie. kind of weird.
the funniest was matthew mcconaughey. we were all laughing that he pretty much just played himself the whole movie. because i truly believe that in real life, matthew probably wears short bike shorts and cropped skin-tight yellow tees. he also probably wears a tasseled thong...but we will never know. i'm pretty sure he had his agent write it into his contract that he got to play the bongos as a stipulation to him playing the role. and about four or more times in the movie, he used his old dazed and confused line, "alright alright alright". like i said i'm pretty sure he just played himself. but himself was perfect for this role, so it worked.
have you seen the movie? do you want to? i recommend it, but mainly for the comedic factor (oh and the sweaty man dancing). and matt bomer. because if you don't know who he is, you need to find out.
alright alright alright.
xoxo,
two birds









Megan - polka dots and stripes get a bit thumbs up from me! Nora- love that cute bolero over your dress.
ReplyDeleteGreat week ladies! x
Gah - I love polka dots and stripes, and they're so perfect on you here Megan! I don't know if I could get into that movie. I'm not a big fan of overly muscled guys either. But other people sure have been getting excited about seeing it.:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pattern mixing - so cute! And the pattern of that dress is so pretty Nora :) And YES - I would totally see Magic Mike for all that eye candy!

THANK YOU! I'm so glad I'm not the only woman in the world who's not a Channing Tatum fan.
ReplyDeleteYou ladies look great as usual! I'll have to link up later after I actually shower and get dressed for the day.
You both look smashing! Sadly, it was way too cold for bare legs and wedges here today.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO excited to see Magic Mike. And, ok, I know exactly what you mean about Channing and I used to not care for him. BUT then I saw him in 21 Jump Street and on SNL and he was HILARIOUS. Seriously, I saw a whole new down-to-earth side of him and loved it. He did a McConaughey impersonation on SNL and it was dead on and sooo funny - worth looking up because you will like him more because of it :D
ReplyDeleteI like how you mixed prints megan. I love the shirt it is cute. I have not gotten to see that movie, but I would like to because of the hot bodies..lol. I saw SnowWhite And The Huntsman..if you have not seen that it is really good.

megan - LOVE the stripes and polka dots together. one of my favorite outfits of yours yet! and nora you are still look absolutely adorable - I sure hope I can look close to that cute when I am pregnant!!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun seeing the movie with you both! I agree with Megan bout Channing Tatum, he is so funny and charming he totally won me over. Plus, he was in She's the Man which is one of my favorite movies :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see Magic Mike, mostly for the funny element/ Matthew Mcconaughey being himself. Love both of your interpretations of this weeks inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI would choose your versions over Eva's ;) I love the take you both took on it! I haven't seen Magic Mike, but I feel like I've already watched it with everyone's recaps ;)
ReplyDeleteMegan, I love how you included pattern mixing in your look, so adorable! And Nora I think you're officially the most stylish pregnant woman! I actually don't really have any desire to see Magic Mike...I'm probably one of the few females on the planet to say that, but Channing Tatum doesn't really do it for me either.

Win a custom clutch!
the 2 birds outfits are on fire, there's too much hotness in this post, alright, alright, alright! sorry, that was my attempt at humor. i know lame. you both really do look fab. i couldn't pull off the tied shirt thing. i attempted, but i looked wrong on all levels. i'll link up when i edit my photos, hopefully, by sometime tonight. my friends & i are supposed to see magic mike next weekend.
ReplyDeleteI loved this inspiration pic -- this look is so flattering, as you both proved! And Matt Bomer!!! Be still my heart (and other places!). I cannot wait for the new season of White Collar to get here! :)

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to!! I'm trying to get a group of girls together to go soon. I loved the inspiration this week, and both of your takes are so adorable. Megan-I love the fun print mixing! And Nora that dress is so cute and summery!
ReplyDeletehahaha dying over the "I'm pretty sure he played himself" part. I haven't seen the movie, but that's exactly how I picture him to be in real life too. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou guys both look stylish and chic but the pattern mixing in megan's outfit is making me want to raid her closet!
Cute! I love both dresses :) I havent seen it but when it hits the $1 theater i'll be there :)
ReplyDeleteEva Mendes is such a doll...great inspiration. And you both totally rocked it! Knotted tops are one of my fav style options.

Hi ladies if has been a while since I commented! Nora, I love your combination, stripes, dots and orange are my very favorite and you pulled the pattern mixing off wonderfully. Megan your outfit... I took a second/third look. You have such gorgeous legs that go on forever! Where have you been hiding them? This length of skirt suits you so well.
ReplyDeleteOh I am dying to see that movie LOL I love both of your looks--that baby bump is adorable with this pretty little floral babydoll dress. I am participating for the first time today and I am excited! Will be linking up later after work.
ReplyDeleteYou're funny, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm enjoying the commentary and discussion... great inspired looks! Megan, I love your dress and Nora, I want to throw away my beige high heeled sandals and look for ones like yours!

Great inspiration and great take on the inspiration! :) Loving this look and definitely going to have to try it out! I think it would be perfect for my office environment and would transition perfectly for a date night with my boyfriend!

Love your interpretations, you both look great! I have to try to participate in one of these soon :)
ReplyDeleteLove this look! Flirty skirts and sassy shoes are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteMagic Mike? I might have to convince my husband to let me see that one!
Megan, I *love* the pattern mixing!
ReplyDeleteNora, that dress looks superb with your bump :)
And now I pretty much have to go see this movie. I'm going to let my boyfriend off the hook for this one, and just go it alone.

I am dying to see Magic Mike. I think I was the ONLY lady in America that did not see it this weekend. I can't wait to see Matthew play those bongos!! AWESOME!!! And you ladies look adorbs in your Eva inspiration!!
ReplyDelete-Shanna
I so want to see that movie. I have gone numerous times to see live chippendale like shows and had a blast but now I think I might just stick to the movies...maybe. Anyway, I really like the choice again this week. Easy and comfy. Megan, love the mix of vibrant, lovely dots, and stripes. You look extra hot today! Nora, I can't understand how your legs stayed so thin and your weight is only in your belly and boobs...??? You look sexy...(is that appropriate to say?) I think it absolutely is appropriate. Love the print on your dress and cute poses. Thanks for hosting...dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteLOL, I saw a preview for the movie last week but haven't seen it yet. Not sure if I will, but maybe!
ReplyDeleteYou both have wonderful looks to beat the heat!!
You both look adorable! Very close match to Eva, I'd say. I haven't seen Magic Mike yet I so want to I don't think I can con the Bf into going with me tho lol
ReplyDeleteoooh I want to see Magic Mike! If only for all the abs hahaha. Love the second dress, the first is totally wild but so fun!

cute outfit ladies but the only thing on my brain right now is matthew mcconaughey in a tasseled thong
ReplyDeleteI ADORE your outfit Megan! It's so so striking! You always look lovely but this is sensational! Megan, you look so beautifully crisp, gorgeous and ladylike in this monochrome combo which is totally Eva!! Who's Magic Mike?!
ReplyDeleteI love both outfits a lot! Your inspiration always brings out great outfits!! So cute! :)
ReplyDeleteLove both looks - the red and white polka dots with the navy and white stripes are so cheerful, and I like the intricate print of the black and white dress paired with the delicate sweater. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. The first time I went to see male strippers (I mean the only time) one of them totally looked like my little brother and I had to tell him to go away.
ReplyDeleteY'all look super cute & summery!
ReplyDeleteMatt Bomer is pretty much the ONLY reason I want to see Magic Mike...the still of him in about half a Naval uniform pretty much gets my motor running on overdrive...
Both looking gorge as always! I really want to see Magic Mike. Channing Tatum is so fit! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou both look ADORABLE! I haven't seen Magic Mike but am definitely curious. Glad to hear that you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI like both of your dresses, and that polka dot shirt is super cute!
