I am so happy for him and proud of him.I also picked up a few items for myself (which I'm sure isn't surprising.)Let's begin:This tee from Forever 21 was just irresistible.

Women's Wear Daily wrote about a new trend today (which actually started at least a year ago, but I digress): Swimwear that is very lingerie-esque.
