It's over! Vicki Gunvalson breaks down in tears as Brooks Ayers finally ends their relationship during Real Housewives of Orange County reunion
Real Housewives of Orange County diva Vicki Gunvalson has endured a very real rollercoaster ride with her on and off boyfriend Brooks Ayers.
But the businessman finally called time on his relationship with the reality star during Monday's broadcast of the show's reunion special.
The split comes after Brooks had a strained relationship with not only Vicki but with her fellow castmates and her daughter Briana Wolfsmith Culberson.
Scroll down for video
It's over: Brooks Ayers officially split with Vicki Gunvalson on Real Housewives of Orange County reunion on Monday evening
Brooks was confronted about numerous complaints regarding his character - including one from Briana that he bragged to her about the size of his manhood.
'The resolution, obviously, is to exit stage right out of this family
because of these strong feelings against me,' Brooks
told Brianna, who curtly replied: 'Because of what you've done, not about
what I'm feeling.'
Brooks added: 'You asked me before, 'Do I love her enough to let her go?' I do.
Final: Brooks Ayers enters reunion to confront Vick Gunvalsoni and the other Real Housewives of Orange County on Monday night
Talking: Brooks sat beside Vicki and tried to defend himself
Wait a minute: Vicki's daughter Briana Wolfsmith Cublerson did not like what she was hearing from Brooks
'So we're not gonna be hearing soon that you guys are back together?'
Brianna asked Brooks.
He replied: 'Not from me, not from me — and that's the truth.'
After giving Vicki a kiss she sobbed uncontrollably while being comforted by the other housewives.
'I hate my life right now,' she cried.
Vicki said the show's events left her 'emotionally drained,' as she 'was looking forward to a future with Brooks, and it looks like it's over.'
Really? Cast-mates Alexis Bellino and Tamra Barney could not believe their ears
Upsetting: Vicki got more confused as she sat beside Alexis and Tamra
This final split comes after shocking audio tapes were recently released where the 46-year-old businessman could be heard slurring on them.
He could be heard talking about his his plans to 'f**king beat [Vicki's] a**' the next time he sees her, while also calling the 51-year-old a 'f**king whore.'
Brooks has subsequently issued an apology for his abusive comments but they caused him a lot of damage with fans of the show.
Final embrace: Brooks gives Vicki one last kiss
Depressed: Vicki does not like what she is hearing
The pair, who allegedly met in 2011 through Vicki's insurance business, had a rocky relationship throughout that time.
Along with rumors that Brooks was unfaithful, the couple are also being sued for allegedly conning a business partner out of $250,000.
Professional poker player Robert Williamson III has claimed the reality star breached contract, committed fraud, failed to live up to good faith dealings, misrepresented herself and conspired to unjustly enrich herself and Brooks with regards to a failed vodka business.
Tears flow: Vicki is comforted by Alexis and Heather Dubrow after Brooks leaves
Support: The other ladies help Vicki get over her heartbreak

While the Iranian government condemns a possible American attack on Iraq, the American and Iranian navies are cooperating to crack down on Iraqi smuggling via Iranian coastal waters. When US and Iranian warships pass close to each other, the crews exchange salutes. US and Iranian naval aircraft communicate to deal with navigation issues (who is flying where near each others warships.) It's almost as if the Iranian sailors and Islamic fundamentalists were from different countries. But the fact is, many Iranians, especially the middle class ones who supply most of the sailors for the navy, have relatives in America or other Western nations. The sailors want a change, and they are beginning wherever they can get away with it.

Minutemen...and Women
Where do you like to eat in town? Do you have any siblings? What kind of activities are you into?
Welcome to the awkward world of speed dating, where an age-old cliche holds true: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. That adage rules at Saturday's speed-dating extravaganza, one of fifty such events held across the country by 8MinuteDating in an attempt to set the Guinness World Records collective speed-dating record.
"Scientists say that first-impression judgments are made in nanoseconds," says Kate Lacroix, organizer of the Denver date-a-thon, which will knock the standard eight-minute sessions down to three minutes in order to accommodate the crowd. "It's going to be a lot more hectic, but I think that three minutes is still definitely enough time to get a feel for someone."
Lacroix expects more than sixty people -- all single heterosexuals between the ages of 23 and 38 -- to participate, with each person going on at least fifteen timed dates. "The first two rounds are a little herky-jerky, but after that, people start to get the hang of it and you really hear that buzz, just like being in a bar," she says. "It's a great way to get your feet wet and meet lots of new people."

With over 100,000 unattached customers, 8MinuteDating claims that over 90 percent of the company's speed-dating participants meet someone they want to see again. And how do they know if they've made a love match? After every get-together, attendees indicate their level of interest in each potential partner: second date, friendship or business. If both people feel the same way, 8MinuteDating's automated matching system shares their contact information by e-mail. "It's very discreet and safe," promises Lacroix. "Only if there is a true match will it be pursued."
While Denver goes for the largest single speed-dating event, 8MinuteDating will also try to establish the largest simultaneous speed-dating record. "As far as we know, there is no record for that, either," says Lacroix. "That's why we want to set the bar -- and we want to set it high."

Walt Disney World Food Blogger Trip
Tags: blogger event, blogger trip, orlando, sponsored, travel, walt disney world
Thrilled to share my Walt Disney World Food Blogger Trip with you today!
It's no secret that Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are two of my very favorite places to vacation to. I was over the moon excited to have a Food Blogger #DeliciousDisney adventure at the Walt Disney World Resort this month. Disney is just one of those magical places, no matter how old you are, you can have the time of your life. I felt so fortunate to spend the weekend with 7 of my food blogging sisters. We stayed at the lovely Boardwalk Inn, just walking distance away from Epcot. We had a whirlwind of a weekend that I can't wait to share with you. Huge thanks to American Tourister for our new luggage. Love my Tangerine iLite Max!
Left: Shawn, Jamielyn, Kristen, Shelly, Kristyn, me, Amanda, Kristan
Most of us flew in a day early for our event, so that first thing Thursday morning we could spend the day at Magic Kingdom. Is there anywhere else more magical? Love it here so much.
Dying over this one. Hey Tinkerbell!
Fall/Halloween Time at Magic Kingdom is absolutely beautiful. The decorations are warm and the sweet little pumpkin Mickey wreaths are the cutest.
Every angle of the Cinderella Castle is just perfect. Love strolling by and of course snapping pictures 🙂
As food bloggers do, it was off to find some of our favorite Disney food!! First up was the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread from Sleepy Hollow. Yah, it was amazing.
After we rode Pirates of the Caribbean we made our way to the Dole Whips! The Dole Whip Float is my absolute favorite. When it's hot at the parks, there's nothing better.
A few more rides like Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's Flight and "it's a small world" then it was time for some treats at Gaston's Tavern. Giant cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants and Gaston's Brew were some of the things we shared. All fantastic 🙂 Right around lunchtime we made our way to Epcot!
Half of us were headed to Mission Space and half on our way to Italy!
We grabbed a reservation at Via Napoli for lunch. Their pizza is some of my favorite pizza ever. This Classic Margherita is AMAZING.
We shared this gorgeous White Pizza too.
Flying Fish images via Disney
After we explored Epcot for a few hours, we made our way back to our rooms at the Boardwalk Inn and got ready for one of the most beautiful dinner experiences. We enjoyed the newly renovated Flying Fish located on Disney's Boardwalk. Every single dish that was brought out, was so carefully prepared and unmistakably delicious. I ordered the Wagyu Filet Mignon and let me tell you, it was one of the best I've had. The appetizers blew me away as well. Don't miss the Blue Crab Bisque , Yellowfin Tuna, Wild Gulf Shrimp and Kurobuta Pork Belly. Be sure to get your reservations when visiting the parks. Flying Fish is a must.
Friday morning, we had the pleasure of having breakfast at Be Our Guest Restaurant located in Magic Kingdom. I had lunch reservations a couple years ago (this photo from last trip) and was so excited to enjoy breakfast in this magical Beauty and The Beast themed restaurant. You really feel like you are walking into Beast's enchanted castle. The detail is simply a must-see. Breakfast and lunch are served quick service style and dinner is an unforgettable sit down style.
As you walk in, you are greeted by friendly Cast Members who guide you in the right direction. Beast's Castle details are so GRAND and remarkably stunning. Take a good look around during your visit.
For breakfast and lunch you walk up to a computer like touch screen and select your meal choices. You go find your own table and your server magically finds you!
There are three different dining rooms to choose from. Each absolutely beautiful. I really love The Castle Gallery, with Belle and Beast dancing in the center of the room with the most beautiful art work on the walls to enjoy. Each room has a different theme such as Beast's West Wing, which is a dark dining room with dramatic ripped curtains and be sure to watch the painting on the wall and the rose. The Grand Ballroom has dramatic high, domed ceiling, chandeliers and beautiful murals on the ceiling.
I ordered the Croque Madame and a Croissant Donut on the side…no calories at Disney right? Ha! We also shared pastries and of course the Master's Cupcake with the ever so delicious "Grey Stuff" topping. What a breakfast! It really was all amazing.
Seven Dwarf's Mine Train is a favorite. Love this!
Later in the afternoon we made our way to Hollywood Studios. We went straight to Hollywood's Tower of Terror. Complete terror, but I love it!
More fun treats! This is the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie from Beverly Sunset that knocked my socks off. That cream cheese filling, so good.
This chocolate filled Butterfinger Cupcake from Starring Rolls Cafe was my favorite. Talk about a treat!
How adorable are all of our cupcakes?! Hollywood Studios has some fun treats.
It was off to dinner at Animal Kingdom's newest restaurant called Tiffins. This experience blew me away! We started with drinks and gorgeous appetizers at The Nomad Lounge.
One of my favorite stories from Tiffins are the little tags that hang from the ceiling at the bar. Travelers get to write stories about their favorite travel stories and hang them for all to read.
There are three beautiful dining rooms to enjoy with so many beautiful things to look at on the walls.
This dining room has the most beautifully detailed tiki's in the center of the room.
Ordered a lovely curry soup to start, the halibut for dinner and gorgeous dessert. The entire experience was so memorable. I look forward to taking my family in the future.
After dinner, we went over Magic Kingdom for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. This is a special event during Halloween Time that requires a separate ticket. What a night. Having only done Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland, this was such a memorable night taking in all of the excitement. So many things to do and see. The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Show was too fun!
Loved Mickey's "Boo-To-You" Halloween Parade. This was truly a magical night!
During Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you can find special Halloween Time treats only available during the party. Of course we hunted down about every one. Great night!
The next morning it was off to breakfast at Trattoria al Forno located on Disney's Boardwalk. I ordered the Pouched Eggs which is served over top soft polenta and topped with a red sauce. This might be one of my favorite breakfast dishes to date. We shared quite a few dishes and I'm telling you everything was beautiful and delicious. Yes, we had to try the French fries at breakfast, lol! They were so crunchy yet tender, I'm still dreaming about them. Loved this dining experience.
While at Disney, you get matching shirts with your friends right? Ha! Couldn't resist getting a group shot of our cute matching Mickey Mouse tees.
With very full bellies, we made our way to Epcot's Food & Wine Festival.
We were invited into the media area where the chef's were preparing different dishes representing different countries. Everything was gorgeous and from the bites I sampled, absolutely delicious. You could really spend a whole day at Epcot sampling your way through each country. Share with a friend for sure. Lots of great food to try! The festival runs from September 14-November 14th 2016. What a great time to visit the parks. For a full list of menu items from each Marketplace click HERE.
Chef Morimoto, talked to us in the Media room. He even sang a little song. My husband and I watched Iron Chef faithfully for years. Too fun, seeing him in person.
After the Food & Wine Festival, we had to ride the very popular Frozen Ever After. Here we are on our boat 🙂
On our way back to our rooms, we had to try Ample Hills Creamery on Disney's Boardwalk. That Gooey Buttercake Ice Cream was out of control amazing….and how cute is the chocolate chip cookie cone?
The Boardwalk Bakery next door to Ample Hills Creamery had this adorable Mickey Oreo Cupcake. Cuteness overload!
Our last dinner together was spent at Disney Springs, Morimoto Asia. Can you even believe Chef Morimoto was hanging out at his restaurant?! He came over for a picture with us. We were dying, ha! He really is the sweetest. The giant appetizer tower, sushi rolls, the ramen and our gorgeous private dining room made for an unforgettable evening. This is a really gorgeous restaurant to visit. Loved our last dinner together.
On our last morning, we walked over to Disney's Beach Club Resort for breakfast. We were treated to Minnie's Beach Bash Breakfast at Cape May Cafe. What a fun Character breakfast! We got pictures with each Disney Character dressed in the cutest beach wear. They were dancing and having a great time with the guests. Would absolutely take my family back here!
After breakfast, we checked out of our rooms, got our luggage squared away and made our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom. This park is so gorgeous with it's lush green trees all around the walkways. I really love it here.
As you walk through Animal Kingdom's entrance and head towards Kilimanjaro Safari, you'll see this very grand Tree of Life in the center of the park. It really is a sight to see. The details on the trunk are spectacular.
Mickey Pretzel, one last Dole Whip, a ride on Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safari, then it was on our way back home! This was a weekend I will never forget. So many adventures with the best of memories. Nothing like a Disney vacation, can't wait to plan my next visit! Be sure to follow our adventure on Instagram under #DeliciousDisney.

Las Vegas Girl's Weekend
Tags: chit chat, las vegas, travel
Thrilled to share the fun I had on my Las Vegas Girl's Weekend!
Amanda, Shelly and I got to stay at the lovely Delano Hotel above Mandalay Bay. There's no casino or smoky lobby. It's amazing for those who aren't big gamblers and have a hard time dealing with smoky hotels. So nice! The rooms were spacious, clean and the bed was soft and cozy. Will definitely stay at Delano again. Be sure to check them out!
Our first morning, we ventured off of the strip to breakfast at Skinnyfats. They have a healthy side menu and a "happy" side, lol! I loved this place. We might have ordered everything off of the "happy" side. Oops. The Churro Nutella French toast, top left photo was amazing. Actually everything we ordered was great. Fun place to try if you are visiting. It was only about 10 minutes from the strip at the most.
After some fun shopping we ventured off of the strip again to this SoHo Sushi Burrito shop. Look at all of that sushi!! So colorful and pretty.
Another off of the strip MUST visit is "Perfect Scoop." Homemade Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches. Not kidding, this was amazing! This is the cookie monster macaron and ice cream. Mmmm 🙂
Later that evening we were back on the strip to Serendipity 3. Most of you know Serendipity in NYC, the location in Las Vegas is huge compared to the NYC one. I enjoy both, but it's nice having some walk space here in Vegas. Their menus are different as well. Look at all of these goodies!!
Got tickets to see Michael Jackson One at Mandalay Bay Friday night. We loved it! Great music, dancing and Cirque acts.
Saturday morning we took off to downtown Las Vegas where the original casinos started out. Super cute area. The Donut Bar….AMAZING. Make sure you stop here while visiting. About a 15 minute Taxi or Uber drive and you get these gorgeous donuts 🙂 The Churro Donut Ice Cream Cone is unbelievable.
After some shopping we had lunch later that afternoon at a gorgeous restaurant in Bellagio Hotel that overlooks the fountains called LAGO. Everything was stunning. The bright restaurant, tables by the windows to enjoy the water show and the beautifully prepared food.
A girl's weekend isn't complete without a spa afternoon right? We made our way to Mandalay Bays beautiful spa for some much needed massages. Loved this!!
A lovely dinner with a view! Dinner at Rivea was so much fun overlooking the strip. We had drinks at Skyfall Lounge with the same gorgeous views. My Raspberry Basil Lemonade was fantastic for those of you who don't drink.
We had a few places to squeeze in before heading to the airport. First up was Salted Malted off of the strip. This was about a 30 minute drive from the strip, but oh my goodness definitely worth it. A cute retired couple own the shop and make delicious breakfast sandwiches on homemade biscuits not to mention their array of desserts. This churro ice cream sandwich was a favorite of the morning 🙂 They even have a "Dole Whip" machine. I sampled it and it tastes EXACTLY like the ones from Disneyland. Pretty cool.

Sharing our weekend at the Phoenician Resort Scottsdale Arizona. So happy to beat this Arizona heat in their gorgeous pools and restaurants!
With the kids having such a short summer we decided to do a really fun "staycation" at The Phoenician Resort instead of heading to California like the rest of Arizona does 🙂 We walked outside of the resort after checking in to see this beautiful view. Took my breath away knowing we get to play here for the weekend. Many people asked if it's a good place to take the kids. My answer, yes it is! So many beautiful pools to choose from. A fun waterslide and splashed … Continue Reading »

Jim Seuss has had one objective since being named Cole Haan's chief executive officer two years ago — redefining the company.
This story first appeared in the February 6, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
He plans an aggressive retail rollout, updated product assortment and has even launched an initiative to collaborate with avant-garde designers. Industry sources estimated the Nike Inc.-owned brand's volume in the U.S. at $450 million, with the retail segment comprising $200 million in sales.
For a while, Cole Haan was trying to be all things to all people — comfort shoe brand for men with proprietary Nike Air technology, a fashion player and a luxury house. Last May, Cole Haan's dynamic creative director and executive vice president, Gordon Thompson, left the company, making way for a fresh design team and updated vision.
Seuss promoted Tracy Smith to the new post of chief merchandising officer, and tapped Paul Overfield, who had stints at Gucci, Calvin Klein and Oscar de la Renta, as design director.
Seuss, a former president of Harry Winston and ceo of Stella McCartney, succeeded Matthew Rubel, who became ceo of Payless ShoeSource. He defined the Yarmouth, Maine-based brand as a "kept secret." And now, in tandem with Cole Haan's 80th anniversary, he is prepared to compete with the likes of Coach Inc., the $2.9 billion industry leader.
"We didn't want to be conservative and classic," he said. "But we do want to be classic, and classic can be witty, cool and relevant."
Cole Haan has 65 U.S. stores and the goal is to expand to 150 to 175 within five years. The stores will average 3,200 square feet to 3,500 square feet. The strategy is to open flagships and regular stores in locations throughout the U.S. The company has flagships in Beverly Hills, New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
The look is modern, with a wood, chrome and glass facade. Designed by architectural firm Bonetti/Kozerski Studio, the interior is divided into two sections. Women's is at the front of the store and the men's area in the rear has a lounge-like atmosphere replete with couches. The firm's ancillary categories, including outerwear and belts, are spread throughout the space.
There are plans to renovate the 65 existing stores by 2011. Cole Haan also has distribution in Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.
"We're trying to create a premium experience for customers," said Seuss, who predicted double-digit sales growth. "The brand is a dual gender one. [A woman] can shop for herself and for her husband."
A new advertising campaign by Weiden and Kennedy takes a lifestyle approach and will bow in the fall.
The biggest hurdle Cole Haan faces is getting consumers to know the brand and stores as a fashion destination in addition to a resource for basics, said Suzanne Hader, principal of 400twin Luxury Brand Consulting.
"They haven't had a problem projecting quality or craftsmanship, but honing their message so they resonate with the market as sophisticated-preppy instead of dowdy-preppy has been a while in the making," Hader said. "With Kate Spade and Coach as close competitors for a similar space, it's also been tough for them to clarify why they're different in the mind of the consumer."
The brand's sales are two-thirds footwear and one-third accessories and outerwear. Seuss is aiming for the split to be 50-50, and the stores are merchandised accordingly.
Internationally, Seuss named Japan, which comprises 10 percent of sales, as a primary market. China is another country with growth potential, he said. The brand recently launched locations in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau.
In addition, Cole Haan is working to bolster the product mix. In Cole Haan Collection, the product got a touch of luxury with the new Optical Weave leather collection for spring and high-heeled sandals with snakeskin trim. The Dress Air collection of high-heel shoes with Nike Air technology has been expanded — after Oprah Winfrey lauded the line on her show in 2006, the company received thousands of orders. Eyewear and hosiery categories also were added through licenses with B. Robinson and Mallory & Church, respectively.
Handbags are a significant push for the firm, which is launching numerous satchels, hobos and totes this year. The spring collection of bags range from a nylon and leather hobo at $325, to a python triangle tote that sells for $2,950. Prices for the core collection are from $300 to $550.
The company is also ridding itself of its G Series subbrand, a sport-inspired shoe line for men and women.
This fall, Cole Haan is pushing heritage styles such as the wingtip for men and the "reimagined penny loafer," with a line of shoes and bags with the keepsake pocket motif. The firm is mixing up the classics as in the wingtip shoe for women, which is morphed into a high-heel ankle boot.
The bags for fall also play up on the penny loafer theme with keepsake pockets on the gussets of the satchels.
In the spirit of its penny loafer push, Seuss has tapped publishing impresario Prosper Assouline to create a book in tribute to the wishing well, referencing the tradition of placing pennies heads up into a pair of loafers. The brand's Manhattan showroom is also bedecked in pennies — 3,000 to be exact — upon which the bags and shoes are presented. Seuss has taken the penny fixation even farther by buying up 1928 pennies on eBay.
Seuss plans to tap tastemakers from various fields, such as architects, industrial designers, jewelers and sculptors to do collections. "Collaborations are key to our brand," he said.
First up in Cole Haan's designer-collaboration strategy is Anna Sheffield, the edgy designer of accessories and jewelry brand Bing Bang, to infuse a dose of cool into its contemporary-classic assortment. Sheffield has designed jewelry fobs for the penny loafer-inspired bags that can be transitioned into bracelets.
"Since Cole Haan has been doing leather shoes and bags for 80 years, it was interesting to do hard goods and jewelry," said Sheffield, whose aesthetic is modern Victorian. "I developed hardware and specialty pieces that go back to that idea, the penny, the keepsake and good luck."
Her signature fine jewelry line and the Bing Bang accessories and fashion jewelry line is sold at stores such as Barneys New York.

Briefly: Apple still selling $899 17-inch iMac for educationIn its March eNews mailing to education users, Apple has revealed plans to continue to offer its 17" iMac to education customers starting at $899, alongside its current 20" and 24" iMac models now being sold to the general public.
The 17" iMac for education, which AppleInsider reported earlier would be limited to education sales, isn't being listed on Apple's publicly accessible online store for education or the general public or by any partners sites.
It appears the holdover product, the same white 17" iMac Apple sold in 2006, continues to be offered in response to the global economic crisis, which is hitting government and education markets particularly hard as tax revenues slip and the public sector seeks ways to close budget gaps.
The $899 price point of the education-only 17" iMac reflects the previous 17" CRT eMac model that Apple sold to education markets as a lower priced alternative to its flat screen models beginning in April 2002. Consumer demand for that originally education-only model resulted in Apple offering it to the general public within a month.
In 2005, Apple later returned the eMac to its original "education-only" status, although it was still possible to obtain through some resellers. The company then discontinued the PowerPC G4-based eMac in mid 2006 as part of its transition to Intel. It was also Apple's last CRT product; its lack of an Intel upgrade was part of the company's efforts to move away from toxic heavy metals that are used in CRTs.
Since then, Apple's lowest end offering among its all-in-one Macs has been the 17" flat panel, Intel-based iMac, which was discontinued outside of education sales in 2007, leaving the 20" iMac as Apple's entry level iMac model marketed to consumers.
