• Designer Ella on Kiss Me, Stace posed cute and humorous advice for married women on shopping—and tricking their husbands into going along with big purchases. (Hint: it involves lingerie and even more high heels!)

  Plus, get your fix of “preety shoe pics” with Friday Cute, Cute Shoe Fest!

• HeidiGoLightly of Style Spotlight got the scoop on the Craziest Celebrity Baby Names of the Week. No, trust me on this, you must read!

  Achievement alert! : Sarah Jean Snarker even scooped People with intuiting Britney Spears’s poem was a prank and jab at “all the people who think they know [her].”

  Plus, Britney is a good, or at least cool, mom because of how she dresses Sean P.? But oops! She nearly slipped.

• Designer Ella brings her breathless excitement back as she returns to High Fashion High. Check out these Glitterella heels!

  (Jane Choo is in the process of moving, but Miss Cinnamon is sticking with Style Spotlight, solely.)

• The new blog Sharp Byte shows us the Fog Free Shower Mirror can be for girls!
• Pet-Pet’s LaLa MaMa reaches out to Hilary Duff to be safe with her pup.

  More in the health category is this Warming Soother.

  Plus, check out the cute dog on this cool Mod Bed!

Miss Cinnamon has left High Fashion High (but remains at Style Spotlight), but Designer Ella has returned to posting there. See her first post: Glitterella Heels!

We noticed that the blogs didn’t quite work too well in 800 x 600, because there was extra space to the left. Not being able to figure that out (of course we tried margin: 0 on the body), we downsized the width of every layout. Tiring as it was, and you can imagine, we haven’t gotten to Pet-Pet, yet. It’s hard having so many blogs with so few people who code. I longed for a designer, and I remember again the wish to have one blog with separated categories and slightly different layouts … that might help a bit. Oh, well!

Hopefully, 800 x 600 visitors will enjoy the sites much more and become repeat visitors. The rest of you should not really notice anything!

(FYI: LippedMedia.com and High Fashion High were never affected.)

(So, yes, the spotlighted posts are going to be late.)

UPDATE: Pet-Pet has been updated today.

At Kiss Me, Stace, we also had Mallory Road, from Pursed Lips, writing.

1. Mallory posted some Fendi flats, and Ella turned the Fendi Buckle Slide into the Designer item of the Week.
2. In the Walk of Shame: Shortalls.
3. Ella wrote the essay: “Why I Hate Fashion” about the business side.

From Style Spotlight:

1. HeidiGoLightly mocks Jessica Simpson as a Redhead.
2. Ashlee Simpson was coy about nose job, well we have the before and after photos.
3. Sarah Jean Snarker makes metaphors about Emmy Rossum’s dress.

From Pursed Lips:

2. Talbot’s Canvas Convertible Tote

From Pet-Pet:

1. Magnetic Pet Poetry: fun, fun, fun!
2. Oscar Newman’s Pet Couture: cute, cute, cute!

And from the new girly gadget/accessories blog, Sharp Byte:

2. An introduction: I’m a Magpie, from Meg-pie.

Our version of a gadget blog has been in the works for a while, now. But all good things take time. Sharp Byte, the blog for *fabulous* girly gadgets and stylish accessories, has opened, albeit timidly. Not all bloggers have started, and it seems everyone has school! But the first post is live, the layout is functioning, and systems are set on go!

Stay tuned for more announcements about it fully flowing and its new bloggers!
