Jessie J Flashes Sideboob in Sexy Jumpsuit and Ankle-Strap Sandals

Jessie J flashed sideboob while wearing a jumpsuit on the 2014 Billboard Women in Music Luncheon red carpet at Cipriani Wall Street on Friday afternoon in New York City. She was joined by Taylor Swift and Beyonce.

The 26-year-old singer, who is dating R&B singer-songwriter Luke James, sported a sexy sleeveless viscose jumpsuit from the Celine Resort 2015 collection. Her hair and makeup were done by the London-based stylist Alisha Dobson. Jessie completed the ensemble with a pair of ankle-strap sandals that were barely visible underneath her jumpsuit.

Just hours after attending the 2014 Billboard Women in Music Luncheon, Taylor Swift hit the red carpet in a cutout dress at the 2014 Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on Friday evening in New York City.

The 24-year-old pop singer showed off her amazing figure in a layered asymmetric dress from the Reem Acra spring 2015 collection paired with matching strappy "Tomar" heels from Jimmy Choo.

Simple pleasures

This week has been really busy (as all weeks-after-vacations are), so let's talk about simple pleasures. What are a few of your favorite things? Mine are avocado toast, linen sheets, Alex Baldwin on 30 Rock, and reading magazines in bed. I would love to hear yours. xoxo

P.S. Awesome that this photo is named "hammock bum."

Back garden

From our cramped Manhattan apartment, Alex and I always daydream about having a back garden one day, complete with red chairs and a hammock. You could have friends over and serve cauliflower soup, salad and Gruyere. Aren't these photos lovely?

Banners

Oooh, I'm loving these fabulous banners, which are making their way around the blog world. They'd be fun to string up for a cocktail party or to display everyday at home. ("Magic Surrounds" would be especially sweet in a nursery.) The best part? They're only 10 bones!

P.S. The opposite sentiment.

Ship earrings

Love these.

Mushroom crepe cake

Wow, this mushroom crepe cake would be impressive to bust out at a brunch. It looks so airy and delicious -- can't you almost taste it? If I were more ambitious in the kitchen (i.e., made anything other than omelettes and burrito bowls), I would give it a shot.

Guest Post: A Few of My Favorite Things

+ Sun-kissed freckles. Not only are they adorable, they give me an excuse to go easy on the makeup all summer long.

+ Architectural salvage yards. I have this dream of living in a modern home, sprinkled with rustic details, like this sliding barn door.

+ Being feminine.

+ Big, thick, oversized glasses. I crush on a new pair every week.

+ Hats. My mom had me in all sorts of different styles from an early age. Right now I'm enamored of a classic fedora I picked during a trip to Sonoma, California.

+ Boy things, like flannel, hiking boots, oversized watches, broken-in jeans, and super soft T-shirts. I'm always stealing my fianc 's clothes!

+ Cats that do human things. Like this one.

+ Cheeky accessories. I'm a true nerd at heart, with a soft spot for dry humor. I love these playful mittens from Kate Spade. Gotta find a pair on eBay!

+ The best days start with two slices of avocado toast.

+ Designer Paul Rand. Get to know his work here.

Wee onesies

My darlings, I had to come back to post about these: How adorable are these custom letterpress-printed onesies? Mav is selling them for the month of June only in her WEE pop-up shop. You get to choose your favorite colors and the wording. I love them; they'd make such great gifts! xo

Have a playful weekend.

My darlings, what are you doing this weekend? Hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

What would you give to jump in this pool?

This bride's vintage dress is gorgeous.

Love these red shorts.

Cute title.

What a sweet post about first steps.

Vintage mamas (including the Queen of England).

Photoshopping a swimsuit model.

Wouldn't it be sweet to hang this welcome sign outside a front door?

Anna Bond's new recipe boxes.

One family, thirty years.

Notebook paper tee.

Lego kitchen!

Just Woody Allen making movies. Just Hemingway kicking a can.

There are wonderful people out there.

Scouting models in Brazil.

(Photos by Philippe Halsman, via Hi + Low. Halsman said: "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping, and the mask falls, so that the real person appears.")

Father + son

Not to overdo it on family photos, but I adore these shots of my two men. Toby just stares at Alex. He is totally fascinated by him! It is the cutest thing ever. (In the last shot, Toby had just made some ominous noises, if you know what I mean:)

Dream room

What a beautiful room, don't you think? I'd love to spend an afternoon in that chair.

The Bachelorette

Confession: I'm embarrassingly addicted to The Bachelorette. (I know.) Have you guys been watching it? The reality show, where one woman tries to find love among 25 guys, is sooo compelling. On my Glamour blog, I used to do "live commenting" during the finale episode, so everyone could chat about it as it aired. Would you guys ever want to do that here on Cup of Jo? The finale is in two weeks (Monday, August 2nd)!

P.S. Which guy would you pick?
