Jessica Simpson in a Short Skirt in Santa Monica Pictures

Jessica Simpson was one leggy blonde as she joined a few girlfriends, and later fiancé Eric Johnson as well, to dine at The Ivy on the Shore in Santa Monica yesterday. Jessica Simpson's legs have been on display in a series of very short skirts and shorts recently, showing off the toned and tanned results of her prewedding fitness regimen. Jessica has more than her big day to plan, since she's also gearing up to work on her new reality show. Jessica Simpson's Fashion Star will have the mogul playing mentor to aspiring designers trying to get funding to launch their first collections. Whether or not Eric and Jessica plan to walk down the aisle before she has to start shooting her show, the happy couple have a big milestone to celebrate. Jessica and Eric's one-year anniversary of dating is around this time of year after their first big outings together surrounded her July 10 birthday last year.
