Girl Crush :: Bachelorette Emily Maynard

After watching last night's Bachelorette for 3 hours (woah), I'm not a bit ashamed to admit that I have a non-awkward girl crush on Emily Maynard.  She has been my fave Bachelorette thus far.  Maybe it's because she's got a sweet Southern accent, has the mom aspect (which I can relate to over the single childless girl now), but most of all, I think it is because I loved her girly style throughout the whole show!!

Luckily, I found a breakdown of all of her favorite things by stalking, OK that sounds creepy, by following, her on Twitter (you can follow ME on Twitter too!) and through a recent InStyle Magazine Q & A session.

I hand picked my most wanted answers revealed to some of Emily's things that comprise her personal style:

1.  One of her all time fave lip colorsYSL Volupte glossy balm in Sheer Candy Pomegranate, #4.  Even though we are completely different colorings, I think I'm going to try and pull this color off anyway!!

2.  Her flawless skin is thanks to Temptu Airbrush system.

3.  Her go to nail polish is the ever popular light pink Essie "Ballet Slippers."

4.  She was always accessorized in baubles and bangles from CC Skye to Stella & Dot.  Couldn't you see her wearing this, this, or these??


{Dolly Parton, somewhere in the 1970's.}

5.  Style icon for Miss Emily was the also very southern Dolly Parton.  I love this answer.  I see some similarities between the two, don't you??

I'm also extremely glad she picked the guy I had in mind for her - Team Jef Holm!!!  I mean, this guy is only 27 but he has co-founded the company, PeopleWater, that gives back to help those who don't have the luxury of pure drinking water.  What a good guy.  Honestly, I don't usually give this show any thought because the typical rose ceremonies are always the same ole same ole and they lose my attention. However, this lady really represented herself well in my opinion, and I am always one to hold out hope that one of these couples that result from this show will actually work out. Who doesn't want love to win in the end?!

What did you think of this season's Bachelorette and her style?  Did you like her man pick??

Yes, she was my fave bachelorette by far. Loved her style and her personality. She's beautiful. I picked Jef from the start, I am so glad she picked him- I hope it works! I'm thinking about trying the YSL glossy balm, too.

@KathyS- Total agreement, and yes, I think we all will be trying out that YSL color now:)

Ok, so I'm glad to see my favorite beauty blogger has a girl crush on Emily, too! I really think you should do a JennySue's version of an "Emily face", complete with the YSL #4 gloss!!!
