JWoww Loses Weight, But Gains no Style

The "Jersey Store" reality star known as JWoww (real name Jenni Farley) was spotted in Las Vegas recently looking considerably smaller than the view public knows her to be. Truthfully, she didn't need to lose any weight, but the loss puts her more on par with the hollywood standard. Unfortunately, unlike many stars who lose weight then improve their style with a now eager stylist, Ms. Farley's fashion sense is an dreadful as ever. The Jersey girl has reportedly been offered numerous shows and a spread in Playboy to the tuneo $400K... I guess the countess was right: money can't by you class.

Style Motivation: Swimwear

It's beach season! That means months of calorie counting and sweating through my sports bras are about to be weighed against the mighty challenge of walking about in public wearing only my underwear (basically). Happily, I'm feeling very much up to the challenge. The funny thing is, in years gone by I've had a better body than I have now, but far less confidence. I don't need to look like a Victoria Secret model; I'm fairly fit and very happy. Cheers to that!

So for the first time maybe EVER I'm excited to go swimsuit shopping. The suit above, worn by Lauren Conrad, is so lovely.

This is Me: May 16, 2010

Wearing a size 6! After 15 months and several false starts I am thrilled to write that I wore a size six dress this weekend. Yay! This Cynthia Steffe dress was was not zipable back in early April, but now I can zip it up with no problem.

Style Motivation: 'Ride' by Ciara

Way to put us all to shame, Ciara! And by "us all" I'm putting Beyonce, Rihanna et. al on notice! Ciara may not be the best vocalist, but she has a good enough voice and she's blowing everyone any with her dance skills (this generation finally has a Janet Jackson!). And her body in this video for "Ride" is amazing!

I've been feeling a bit of diet fatigue lately. Either not recording or going over on my daily calorie allotment (oops). But watching this makes me want to get back at it and fast! I have a beach trip in June and I'd love to be able to wear a bathing suit like that for it... not that the suit and fur is at ALL my style - I'm just aiming for the body would allow me to get away with it :) Watch the video after the jump
