If you’ve been a reader of It’s Unbeweavable for even a short time, you know I suffer from a mad, raging case of blog ADD. I’m pretty securely based in fashion and beauty, I think that much is clear. But then there are the times when my heart is screaming to be let out…and I’m not the kind of girl, the kind of blogger who can just tell it to shut up while I post the neon Minkoff clutch I covet. (Although I do. I rillyrilly do want one.)
Friends. The family you choose. Chelsea Talks Smack wrote an amazing piece on 2D vs 3D relationships, that you must read. It got me thinking of my friendships, the ones I truly hold near and dear, and right now, all I want to do is have all these girls in a room and eat cupcakes and drink sangria from a bottle wine and not do the shred. Some of these girls are 3D. Some are 2D. All are in my heart. The line for me has become so blurred…and I love it. Maybe it’s dealing with a really sick best friend that has this weighing so heavily on my heart and mind tonight. In any case, meet my besties. Thank them for putting up with my insanity, because if you think what I blog about is bad…you have no idea 
Chrystina. Pray pray pray pretty please. I need her. In happier news, how freaking fabulous is this picture? 
Kate. Katie. We’ve been through some dark times together, and made it back up with the sun on our faces. I like it when she smiles. She doesn’t. I’m trying to convince her to start a blog…
Amazing Melissa. Balance. Reminds me to keep going, chasing, living, and appreciating the little things. She’s not new to my blog. I wrote about her inspiration on my life here.

Kristin. We might collaborate on fabulous LBD posts (tosses weave ha), but this pretty lady is a true, life long friend. She’s a fierce fashionista with a heart of gold. Her little man even sent me flowers! Trust-she’s not as innocent as she looks. Just how we like it. haha
haha 
Miss Mayra. I once wrote an online dating post based on some dbag telling me I was “cute like a banana”. Shortly there after I met my own Banana, who incidently, is rillyrilly cute. Go figure!? The soundtrack to our friendship is going to make a fabulous mix CD. She’s badass. The list of our similarities is pretty extensive, so I won’t bore you. I love my badger.
Well, obviously...my Brooke. People don’t just show up in your life by chance, at least I don’t think so. It’s like God, the Universe, whatever you want to call it knew that I needed her. We needed each other. And when I get off that plane (I’m flying in with her sister ya’ll!), it’s not a matter of 2D becoming 3D. It’s just like Oh hey…soulmate…I haven’t seen you for 28 years, and you look rillyrilly good. 
I can’t forget…Brown Girl-She reminds me that I’m a tough cookie even when I feel like I’m about to crumble.
Lilu-Makes me laugh. Takes care of her friends in a fierce way…I’m lucky to be one. I didn’t know what picture to use…I almost went with war paint. But instead…a glamour shot. Legend has it she’s holding not one but 2 shanks…
Jill-In a word? Awesome. Also? Incredibly caring and willing to share her experiences with me.
This post isn’t intended to alienate any of my readers or friends, as I love you all, truly and with each comment, email, or post of yours that I read, I am amazed at how you inspire me, make me laugh and uplift me. Multiple times.
These are the girls who hold it down for me on a daily basis, blog or not, 2D and 3D. I wanted you to meet them, because without them, I’d be a lost badger. Big ups to my girls…I adore you.
I hope and pray that you all have friends like this! To my new readers, I can’t wait to get to know you!
XOXO,
Liz

i loveeeeee that SATC quote…and this post.
my heart melts right now because truly it is good friends that make our bloggy world a sunny place to live. i told brooke i don't always connect with girls the way i do with you two so when i do i'm kind of that attached girlfriend, you know, that never wants to let go.
and that's so funny! i totally remember that banana post b/c you mentioned it the first time i commented it on your blog. funny how things work out. i can't wait to turn this 2D love affair into 3D. 6 more months babes…
love you lady. love our soundtrack. love drinking sangria with you on the weekends. thank you for loving me back! i don't know what i'd do with my BC! xoxo.
Awwwwwwww, Lady Liz. What would I do without you? You're the meaning in my life….Chicago style. Ah ha. I've been singing that song a lot lately. Guess it means I'm inspired. And I AM pretty much inspired by you on a daily basis. By your heart, your intelligence, your beauty. Wow, I sound as if I'm declaring my love. Don't worry, not in a creepy stalker way, but in a you are an amazing friend and I'm blessed to know you way. And that is pretty much my favorite SATC quote ever! L.Y.A.S.!! and S.W.A.K. I'm kickin' it old school like I just wrote you a note in class. Ah ha.
awww…babe!!! seriously…where o'where would i be without you…my first in command? the elliot to my e.t….the goose to my maverick…my lifesource.oneheart.onemind.two peasonepod.honestly i could go on…as this list is endless…
it is so strange to see your exact soul duplicated in another but yet that is what you are…like coming home to a place i've never been but knew it was always there waiting for me…
i truly feel certain people are placed in your lives with purpose and intent and not just flung into your world haphazardly…and this my dear is you…i absolutely needed you and there you were…
i love you madly and words cannot express the intensity of the excitement that i feel over not only you flying out (WITH MY SISTER!!!) but also over the times we will share…the memories we will create…and the lives (our own) that will forever be changed!!!
We are all lucky to "virtually" know you (so geeky! ha ha)! but seriously, all your posts are inspiring and I live through your thoughts! You always have the words I cannot express =) And your friends are all very lucky to have you in their lives!
Aw, girly love is so cute!!! Y'all are all some fierce bitches.
Love that sex & the City quote! So true! You have an amazing little blogger familia, you luck girl!
What a lovely post!
"latina fury"
HAHA!!!
it sounds funny but man oh man it's not pretty, i would know.
aww Liz….you have no idea how much you are helping me right now. It is very much like me to keep everything inside and you have been so amazing and caring and awesome. I am so lucky that I decided to start blogging….the friendships that I have made have changed my life forever.
That SATC quote says it all.
I have lots of friends more on the internet than IRL that I look for inspiration, def more 2D, but until the 3D gets better, i'm loving it all!
awww liz, this is one incredible post! makes me appreciate the value of friendship more. right now i have lost a friend over a huge falling out, but at least i have the few loyal ones on my side.. and in the end thats all that really matters.
much love
eden
Awwww! I weelly love this post cutie!
It's really true, the bloggy world has introduced us to some great bloggy love & to new found friends!
Here's to one day you & me being 3D darling!
XOXO MG
i love this! i like to think i have great friends as well but strange as it sounds, i'm afraid to let people 'in'. this post just proves that it is so worth letting people 'in' and that i should probably do it more often.
helllooo you have the prettiest friends/bloggy friends ever! just like you!!
I agree that everyone needs good friends. It makes life much more fun and fulfilling!
OK lady- put those chicks together and you've got one hot, amazing girl gang. LOL. Thanks for the intros. I wish I had hours and hours to surf and read all your amazing picks. I'll definitely head on over to check them out!
Re: your dentist appointment. I've got my fingers crossed, lady! Damn.
Aww, this is so cute
I love friends.
Friendships are truly one of kind…each unique in their own way. Without them i can say our lives would be dull. For without the laughter, the get to know you parts, um…hello your zippers down whispers, where would we be?
We need our sisters…our partners in crime to be there when we need them the MOST…especially on the dance floor!!!
Hey that was so cool, lovin' the friends pictures, they are all totally gorgeous like your sweetself.
xoxo
Really great. I admire thought-provoking, heartfelt, honest writing. I added Chelsea to my blogroll. Thanks! And what a great group of besties you have.

Oh it's so nice to meet everyone!! I love how personal in a non-corny way that was! x
Lovely post! Thanks for introducing us to your fab BFF circle. There's really nothing more important than friendships. I've moved so many times and I'm still so close to my friends even if we no longer live in the same country (we just stalk each other online and crash at each other's places unannounced… haha). Oh, and I'm meeting my first blog friend IRL next month… so excited! I'm sure some would call all of this dorky, but it isn't…. it's not like we're running around in Star Trek outfits speaking a make-believe language…
that's one great post! funny enough, my best friend, my sunshine, was feeling really under the weather yesterday and i sent her a long email on how much i admire and respect her and you lots of other really nice things like that. i love her to death!she's my secret hero! i even checked the airplane ticket to go and see her for the weekend…London-DC…well…banker said nooooo!!
maybe Carrie's right, maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates. (Actually it's Charlotte who came up with that, no?)
xxx
I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously.
It's such a blessing in life to have someone(s) who take up huge parts of your heart/fill in the parts that you didn't know were missing.
I know God (according to my beliefs) sends people into our lives when we need them most. Even when we didn't know we needed them.
xoxo.
thank you!
Cute post Liz!
XoXo
Fabulous post, Liz.
Love the SATC quote, too
Whoever has girlfriends to rely on, is truly lucky. Where would we be without them, huh?
I feel bad for those who don't appreciate them and for those too who aren't lucky enough to have them in their lives.
PS- Badass pic of Chrystina!
Aw- I love you so much! You are seriously the best! ::big hugs::
Awww, its so lovely to have such a great support network isn't it. Love these girls, they all look like they love life. And that's admirable. And don't forget that you're the inspiration for many others….and that my friend is sooo cheesily perfect
But thanks for the links to the blogs (where applicable)….what a great bunch of friends!
p.s. weave buddies? I know that's a serious serious relationship.
Haha, I love you to bits, you silly girl. Your posts make me laugh. You are truly an inspiration to me. Thank you.
End cheesy, soppy comment
What the hail??? I made it on the blog but with no picture post, WTF?? Is it because I'm brown? Is it??
Thanks for the props love, I appreciate your friendship just as much, thanks for helping get me through the day! You rock, you are fierce, you are you, and that is perfect!
Hate you if I didn't love you!!! Bessos!
Love the SATC quote! It's one of my faves! And yay for girl friends…they really are what holds us together sometimes!
You are lucky to have such an amazing group of friends, and they are very lucky to have you!
My thoughts and prayers are with Chrystina!
I'm with Brown Girl. I posted my own Glamour Shot on my blog, if you'd like to use it…

Great SATC quote. It's so great that you have so many wonderful (not to mention HOT) friends that are there for you. It's amazing how the internet is able to bring people to together. I've not only made some great friends thanks to this medium but also met the love of my life
Nothing better than have a great group of BFFs!
Very true, all your friends are gorgeous!
And sending some good, no GREAT, vibes over to Chrystina to get better so super fast! I'll pray for her!

3rd comment…wait for it, wait for it…
I WANT TO LICK YOUR FACE TOO!!! bwahahahahahahahaha!!!
is that weird? nahhh.
awe, such a cute post! You're a good friend
…Seriously, is Chrystina okay?
You know some beautiful wimmins! I'm so sorry I missed you in LA! I'm now in San Francisco…but next time for sure!
you are nothing without your girlfriends!!! and i know you pick only the best bc you are the best!
I adore Kristin and now I'm off to meet these other wonderful ladies. Fabulous "friend" post, darling! And I adore that SATC quote – so true!
These girls are adorable…I now know what Chrystina looks like and I am so glad that she is better. I love that Sex in the City quote….it is so true!
awww cute post! haha love the sex and the city quote. I totally agree, guys are like cats I think. You know how cats don't "know" the owner but only "knows" who is getting its food from? It's like guys, most guys I know just run around looking for the hottest thing they can hump, while my girlfriends are the ones that are actually there for me when I need someone
What a sweet post, darling! Your friends are all so lovely and fabulous, just like you!
xoxox,
CC
Aw, Lizzy Whizzy, I think if I gave you a papercut (not that I would) you would *bleed* sugar, you are too sweet!
Those lovely ladies are truly blessed to have you

what beautiful friends you have!! and I love that line Charlotte says in SATC. so true. because most guys come and go but a good girlfriend is forever! like my bestie– we've been friends for 16 years!! that's the best, to have someone who has your back ALWAYS.
You are so lucky to have so many pretty and cool friends. That's so nice of you to write about them. Hope you are having a great day!:) It's raining here…blah…but it's relaxing. Take care!

P.S Can't wait to see your "exploding" bag
They all seem so fabulous darling and I am so glad you get to surround yourself with such beautiful, loving people every day!! xxx
I do apologize because the post was actually about you. I just kinda quickly scanned it and I don't believe when I read it the first time you hadn't put that you took it from Chelsea Talks Smack!
Sorry, my insecurities have a lot to do with my past and it was a super shitty thing for me to do. =( I just thought it was kinda weird that we had the same post going ya know.
I hope you don't hate me! I'm so so sorry and I'm totally gonna mention you in my post today =)
what a very cool post! you are so fortunate to have such inspirations and fun in your life…i think a lot of the ladies you mentioned are amazing too!
xox
perfect end quote! and this post just warms my heart, bloggy love & girl power all around!
You are the sweetest! adore this post. will be checking out these fabulous ladies because any friend of Liz's is a friend of mine!
