BREAKING NEWS:  { this just in } I can't keep up with the newest trends or fashion.  I have serious respect for those who can.  I just try and pick a few key things and if they work with my body type, then try them.  That said, here are a few things I think would be worth investing in...{honey, are you reading???} Or maybe these were last season's trends?  Again, I can't keep up...

{ Bachelor finale }

Tonight is a BiG night in the Reed household (and millions of other homes too).
First we will celebrate our friend Nate's 30th Birthday { Happy Birthday Nate!} then we will snuggle up with the fire on because...

Tonight is the season finale of The Bachelor.  According to ABC.com, 71% of people think Brad (the bachelor) will choose Emily, the southern belle with an adorable accent. 

Meet Emily:

Just in case you couldn't tell, Emily is perfect.  Nobody's perfect, but Emily doesn't have any flaws.  So, there's that.  She also dresses so cute, carries herself very lady-like (credit her pageant days to that.  But, I will say, I've wondered if she wears veneers?  Anyone else wondered that?), and has an adorable daughter named Ricky (named after her fiance, who died right before she found out she was pregnant - can you say sympathy vote?!).   If you watch the show, you already knew that {if you don't watch the show, you're crazy!}.  Here are some of my favorite outfits Emily's rocked:

 Dress - Forever21 (but sold out, thanks a lot Em!)

Shoes - Christian Louboutin Staratata Platform Sandals, only $1045.00 {!!!} 

Body - I don't know what it cost to have a body like hers, but I'd also like that.

Shirt – Cute denim shirt 

or here: Urban version, similar shirt

Necklace –  Turquoise Necklace

Shorts – Cut off's - J Brand

Boots - Mantel Boot

Sassy little shirt dress- available at Macy's

The floral romper is sold out at Forever21 {I'm seeing a trend here...} but Target has some SUPER cute ones too:

Cute Rompers from Target

Long Drapey Vest

Dress: Cute Blue Dress
I would like this to wear on our one year anniversary - so cute!

And lastly, for her polished look, check out the nails:

Emily is obviously the fan favorite {and my favorite}.  BUT, I do think she's a little too good for Brad {and I think he knows it}.  I kind of think Brad might pick the other runner up...

Meet Chantal:

{ via }

Did you see the episode where Brad went to meet her family?  Um, did you see her HOUSE?!

{ via }

This episode we saw a few clips of her parent's mansion, which prompted my husband {he will probably kill me for this} to look up just exactly what Chantal's mommy & daddy do for a living.

Turns out, her dad owns O'Brien auto group {hence the last name & the mansion}

and he used to play for the Seattle Seahawks.

I think Chantal won a few points there since Mr. Reed is a big Seahawks fan.

I have no idea who is going to win, but I think Brad will be persecuted {it's ok, he's used to that from when he was on the Bachelor before and dumped both girls in the season finale} if he doesn't pick Emily.  However, I think that him and Chantal are better suited for each other.

Then, Emily can become the next Bachelorette!

Regardless of whether or not you're a Bachelor fan, tune in tonight {ABC, feel free to compensate me for this major shout-out} to see the following:

#1 Who Brad picks

#2 How adorable Emily is

#3 How dramatic & hilarious Chris Harrison {the host} is
