I watched the Golden Globes with a group of loud friends on Sunday so last night, after watching highlights from the big show, I was glad to finally hear Kate Winslet's acceptance speech. Through her emotional words, she was able to passionately tell her husband and director of Revolutionary Road, that she loved every second of working with him on the film and that it made her love him more.

Being able to fall in love with your significant other over and over again must be one of the secrets to having a long-lasting, successful relationship. So tell me, what are the little things that make you love your partner even more than you already do?

Girl Crush Du Jour: Alexa Chung

Usually when someone is described as a "model turned" anything, I'm skeptical, so when I first heard about model-turned-TV-host Alexa Chung's new MTV show, It's On with Alexa Chung, I figured I'd steer clear. But after watching countless clips of the daily show, I'm smitten with this adorable British import.

It helps that even Chung doesn't relish her model past: "That sucked . . . you have to stand on a cross on the floor and no one talks to you, and I'm what you call a talker," she says in her MTV bio. Now the 25-year-old makes a living talking: she's not only cute and stylish (love this dress she wore to the VMAs) but she's also gifted with a very sassy, quick wit. To find out why else I like Alexa Chung and to see her in action, read more.

She's a bourbon drinker. Perhaps someday we can get together over old fashioneds and talk about books.
Speaking of which, her favorite book is Revolutionary Road, which I also think is awesome.
She tweets about grammar!
She's a do-gooder who is a brand ambassador for Oxfam, among other things.
Her casual but wise interview style feels like sitting around with a sarcastic friend. Check out the clip below of her interviewing Jason Bateman about Facebook, Twitter, and UFC to see what I mean.

It's On with Alexa Chung just wrapped up its first season, and it's back with new episodes Oct. 12. Are you an Alexa Chung fan?
