Hi Everyone,
I'm still recovering from Britt's heart shaped sunglasses and Chantal's dress from last week, so pardon me if I seem taken back during this weeks blog. Today is Valentine's Day, and Britt just went ahead and ruined hearts for me. Forever. You would have thought the opening scene of tonight's show featuring Anguilla would have taken my breath away but no, it was the gasp for air I took when I saw Shawntel's brown woven belt placed through her short's belt loops! Yes, I know belt loops were originally for belts and to hold pants up but fashion has evolved from that immensely. It's fine for men and older women but not in this case. There are still ways to wear belts through the loops but in a more trendy way.
Shawntel looked like she is on her way to the grocery store, driving a mini van after dropping off her four kids at soccer practice. Either way, she is still beautiful. On a better note, Emily looked adorably put together in her floral print Bohemian baby doll tank and blue cropped pants to accent the blue in her multicolored top. I am a minimalist when it comes to jewelry. I think one piece is enough and Emily pulled this off by wearing one simple long strand of pearls to tie in her look.
So Chris Harrison arrives and explains the dates. Blah blah blah, and the date card is left. Chris looked very beachy by the way in his light blue linen woven. See ya at the Rose Ceremony, Chris!
Emily and Brad's One-On-One:
"Awww, you do too much for me on our dates," Emily gushes as a helicopter arrives. Brad must be loaded! What a baller. Emily proves once again that she knows how to look great under any circumstance. This sheer, swimsuit cover up/frock is the perfect choice for this date. It transitions perfectly from land to water for there Anguilla affair. This frock is super cool with the tribal detailing and the wide, open sleeves that hang down her body.
Their own private island? I mean, you have GOT to be kidding me. I am so jealous right now! Who will ever get the chance to fly a chopper to a deserted island in Anguilla and have nothing but the sunshine, sand, water your significant other? So envious. :) Brad and Emily still seem to lack the general flow of a good conversation but they both may just be nervous. During dinner, they discuss whether or not Brad will meet Emily's daughter. It is a tough call (allowing your child to meet a man who may not propose to you), but she signed up for it and should have thought about that a long time ago!
On another note, Emily looks more beautiful then ever this date with her tanned skin and bangs french braided into her hair. I love her blue, floral print sundress with a classic sweet heart neckline. Brad is the best bachelor we have seen in my opinion, because he is consistently real. He is here for love or else he wouldn't be doing this again. I love that he broke the rules and told Emily she is getting a rose. Because in real life, your lover assures you and Brad is taking this very seriously. He knows a child is involved and wants to do the right thing. SIDE NOTE: How hilarious would it be if Brad didn't give her a rose at the ceremony after all that? Hahaha. He would go right back to being the most "hated" man in America. It's cool- I'd catch his tears and kiss his forehead.
Back at the condo, another date card arrives as Britt states that she will feel rejected if she doesn't get one-on-one time with Brad. When Shawntal got the date, I did feel sad for Britt but then felt more sorry for Shawntel when she exclaimed, "Wow! I wasn't expecting that at all," and then another girls speak up, "We weren't either." Shawntel is either oblivious as to how snotty these girls have been to her in Vegas and now here, or just doesn't really give a care what they think. She is mature enough to keep her focus on Brad and not worry about catty remarks.
Shawntel and Brad's One-On-One:
I'm not too weird about bra straps showing, however, this is pretty bad. Especially on TV!!! Shawntel should have worn a nude colored bra, or even a strapless. GetzStyle Tip: Girls, there are alternatives to razor back tanks. If you go to Target, you can find these plastic inserts that holds your bra straps in place in the center of your back. They are super cheap and work wonders! Another alternative? I often rock this look in the summer--a bathing suit top under a white tank. A bathing suit is supposed to show and they look like part of one's outfit, because they are either patterned or colorful. Since Shawntel is in a sarong AND in Anguilla, she could have definitely pulled off the bikini under tank look.
Shawntel chose a great eggplant colored off the shoulder t-shirt dress for her dinner portion of the date with Brad. The color brings out her complexion and she looks exquisite. The only thing I would recommend is for Shawntel to belt the dress to give it more edge. In this case, I think a low waisted belt would work vs. a high waisted belt look. I never like pink on guys, but whatever, Brad can pull it off. They did, however, look like an Easter egg basket with their purples and pinks. Back to their date... right. They visit a farmers market, see baby lambs, meet Auntie B., listen to music and then Shawntel drops the "L" bomb. I agree with Shawntel that the Farmer's Market is the perfect date. Always a good time and super chill. Auntie B. should be Brad's life coach.
I really, really like Shawntel. She mentioned she didn't have a lot growing up, but was so loved that she always had enough and is super appreciative. Crud! Now Shawntel is my absolute favorite. Final decision, I'm done being indecisive,
Shawntel is my pick for Brad from here moving forward! She deserved that Vegas shopping spree, TOLD YOU!
Brad and Britt's One-One-One:
Oh NUTS! Britt did it again with her orange swimsuit cover up. There appears to be some sort of lace incorporated in the shoulder area. Maybe she borrowed it from her Grandma or possibly even 1984. Everything is awful about this from the lace, to the color, to the buttons half way down, to the hood. I hate doing this to Britt, because she is so sweet, but for the love of NYC fashion week, God help her!
As Britt sets sail on the sea of love with that God awful TJ Max cover up on, Michelle states her jealousy and wants their ship to sink. LOL! I am so going to miss Michelle! She says the funniest shit during Britt's date- God love her. Britt is so gorgeous. She should get right off that little boat and get into runway modeling with that rail thin frame and flawless complexion. For crying out loud, now she is wearing a nightie to dinner. The bust area is waaaaay to big on her and the color? For reeeeelzzzz girlfriend? Does she just sit around and flip through the JC Penny catalog all day to figure out her wardrobe? Ugh! Britt reminds me of Sandy from Greece, hopelessly devoted to Brad, not fashion. Oh well. Maybe this is why Brad dumped her? Mr. Fashionista Womack is quite the trendster, especially tonight with his double breasted, light blue oxford button down. That boy can dress! Now, let's get him to work on speeding up that southern slang a bit.
Group Date:
When Brad wakes the girls up, they look so adorable! So tired and innocent looking. Aw! Mornings are NOT my thing, so I can't imagine these girls having to get up early for a photo shoot! Michelle says she looks a atrocious. I'm thinking, ya right! She even looks beautiful first this in the morning! Did Ashley just scream, "No Boobs!?" Hahaha- that's so me! I love this date already! Poor Chantal feels fat, and I can feel for her. I HATE being in a bikini but Chantal has nothing to worry about. She is gorgeous with a sexy, curvaceous body. I hope Brad is wearing a cup today, er....
Chantal and Ashley take there tops off, thank God. Now I don't feel so stupid for taking my top off in Vegas, wahoo! If I were fighting for a man, I wouldn't take my top off- but I was fighting for money. On the other hand, these girls are doing a Sports Illustrated photo shoot, so I think it's totally fine they bared it all. I am a HUGE fan of these croshay knit swimsuits. Chantal's swimsuit is by far my favorite. (This has nothing to do with fashion, but thank God for the "pause" button so I can gawk at Brad's ridiculous body. Oooooh baby! Damn!). Whoever Brad picks and is now with, I give you full permission to punch me in the face for obsessing over your fiance all season.
Ok, whether Michelle is acting or not, I see true sides to her, and I really like her. If she wasn't cool, Brad would not have kept her around this long. Oh My God, why did I just cry when Brad gave Ashley the rose? That was so sweet! Focus, Natalie. I'm over this date, simply because everyone is in swimsuits and I have nothing to talk about in terms of fashion.
Rose Ceremony:
I've been waiting patiently to see homeboy, Chris Harrison, this whole episode and finally he arrives. Hello Chris! I'm glad we get to see more of him now, I always enjoy listening to Chris give advice to the Bachelor/ette's. Brad doesn't need a cocktail party, his mind is made up. Now let's get to chattin' about these dresses, shall we?!
The Bad:
1. Shawntel's dress. Um, girlfriend, you got tons of clothes in Vegas and shopped with educated stylists all day. Did you learn nothing? Don't you have something that you received in Vegas that you could have worn tonight? It looks like a slip or a nightie. Thank God that you're hot.
2. Chantal's dress really does nothing for me. It's just blah. Nothing to it and isn't flattering to her figure. This dress would look better if it were strapless and tighter through her narrow waistline to accentuate her hourglass figure. Why did they let the poorly dressed girls stand next to each other? At least break it up a little and scatter the badly dressed throughout so I can sleep better at night without nightmares of the unfashionable.
The Good:
1. Michelle's long flowing black dress is very unique due to the beading at the top. It fits her great and is the perfect dress choice for a barefoot rose ceremony.
2. Ashley is wearing a full length, black romper. Many of you may not realize how popular and up-to-date this style is. She took a risk in fashion and rocked that romper with confidence. She looks great and very current with trend.
3. Emily chose a Boho Chic Maxi dress with stripes as a modern twist. Pay attention to detail and notice the way this dress is sewn together. The strips on the bust line are going in the right direction to curve around her bust, separating the pattern of horizontal stripes down the bodice. Has Emily ever had a bad day? Probably not. With summer right around the corner, instead of basic flip flops, opt for a t-strap ankle sandal like Emily wore on her date with Brad
* Lot's of bare feet this episode, so hopefully next week we get to check out some footwear.
GetzStyle Award goes to Emily. She never fails me, never fails Brad, and never fails fashionistas. She proves to us time and time again that she looks great under any circumstance. She has a knack for style!
