New Girl Crush

Posted on May 23, 2011 by michelle| 7 Comments

While in Vegas this weekend for one of my BFF’s bachelorette party, our group of bridesmaids saw Bridesmaids. (Yes, we went to the movies in Vegas—but don’t worry, we did a whole lotta non-bloggable activities too, winky wink.) Anyway, Kristen Wiig is my new girl crush. You just gotta watch her. Also, I have not been able to get Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On” out of my head for three days straight. And I’m okay with that.

More interesting posts soon. Maybe. Hopefully.

UPDATED WITH VIDEO! Further evidence of her awesomeness.

Bright Nails

Posted on May 8, 2011 by michelle| 3 Comments

Sometimes, when life feels out of order, it’s nice to have pretty nails. It’s like, my house is still in boxes, my hair is greasy, deadlines loom, but oh look! Pretty nails! I dunno. It makes sense in my head. I’m totally digging the bold and bright nail polish trend. I just picked up essie’s Mesmerize from Target, and it’s pretty fab.

Loving these photos collected by A Piece of Toast.

Anyway, I’m feeling the weight of a long week ahead. Sigh …. nails!

Layered Wedding Gowns

Posted on May 5, 2011 by michelle| 2 Comments


Sometimes, I miss wedding planning. It is a time of infinite whimsy, limited only by bank accounts and fiances. Psssst. A little secret: I haven’t deleted any wedding blogs from my Google Reader. It’s still so fun to look.

Swooning over these gowns from BHLDN.

This commercial makes my heart burst. Google + an Asian baby? Pretty much the two greatest inventions ever. (Thanks, Vickie!)

DIY Mustache Straws

Posted on May 3, 2011 by michelle| 3 Comments


Though I wouldn’t call myself a trend diva, I was beginning to think that mustaches were so 2010. Not anymore! These DIY drink toppers from Paper + Craft (a book I need) would make beverage-drinking so much more giggly.

Read This Now: ‘Look at Me, I’m Crying’

Posted on May 3, 2011 by michelle| Leave a comment

I’ve decided to start a new feature here on Woo! called Read This Now. I feel like I’ve strayed away from this in recent years with PRETTY INTERNET THINGS! but words are my first true love — they make me  say ‘Woo!’ more than anything else. I’ll share essays, profiles and stories from around the web (mostly non-fiction), those that sing, inspire and prompt me to shout “Read this now!”

Feel free to send me suggestions for this feature at  michelle@michellewoo.com, @michellewoo or in the comments.

Olimpia Zagnoli, New York Times

“Look at Me, I’m Crying” by Melissa Febos, New York Times (Thanks, Nina!)
A breathtaking essay on crying in public in New York City.

Favorite line: “Even though as any stumbler knows, the worst part, after detaching a heel from the subway grating, is someone asking ‘Are you O.K.?”

Wall Calendar Decals

While looking at my calendar usually stresses me out (too many things!), I do love the look of these vinyl wall decals, which come in white board or chalkboard. So legit.
