Thank you Dior

Thank you Dior for using Mila Kunis in your ads. She is definitely one of my favorite actresses. Absolutely stunning! Enjoy!

I've got my new shoes on!

Very excited that it wasn't a million degrees out today and I got to wear my new shoes from Express ($13.00!). Can't wait for the fall to wear them with ankle pants and a sweater. Hope you're all having a lovely day.

Day Off

I'm sitting on my new couch (my first big girl purchase) painting my nails, reading my backed up pile of magazines, and listening to Lady GaGa on my record player. No, she's not as great on record as Carly Simon but I'm afraid of playing that record to shreds.

At must listen to for every girl!

It's a phenomenal way to spend a much needed day off. These are rituals that I completly forgot about and/or take for granted. I remember the days when a new magazine would come in the mail and I couldn't wait to devour the pages. I'd dog-ear or rip out the things I wanted buy or might try. Now I quickly skim through them on my kindle at work or leave them in a pile somewhere around my apartment collecting dust.

My shameful dusty pile of magazines

 I'm not going to lie, I have to be in the right mood to read magazines. Mostly because skimming through the pages of things I can't afford and women I will never look like kinda turns a bad mood into something involving tissues and tons of fancy cakes. When I read a magazine and I'm in a great mood it's a reminder of what I can be. I learn ways to become the best person I can be. Contrary to what many think, it's not always about beauty, fashion, and how to have the best sex possible. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that. Magazines are full of people who inspire me. I'm sure that if you weren't into fashion or things of that nature they wouldn't have the same meaning to you, but to me, it's a look into a future that I want to have. Yes, there are discourging things such as models and actresses too skinny to see or as I look to my left right now an absolutly georgous coat by Burberry Prorsum that is worth more money then I make in months.

Swoon!

 But it's a goal (not the skinny thing), being able to buy a coat like that. Yes it's extravigant, and maybe crazy, and for a lot of people a waste of money, but to me it's like buying art I can take every where with me. I dirgress. Today reminds me of the things I truly love. It reminds me what I want to be and to work harder and take risks for my dreams. To not take something like being able to paint my nails and listening to records for granted. It reminds me to not come home every night after a long day of work and just flop into bed. It encourages me eat up every ounce of inspiration and knowledge I can possibly take. It reminds me to silence the little wet blanket in the back of my mind and to start busting my ass on this blog and get it in front of everyone and anyone who is willing to read it. I hope you all enjoy readying it as must as I enjoy writing it and clicking that litte "Publish" button. Thank you all for reading it! (Even if it is just my mom)

DONE!

Classic, Rock It Once, Who the hell?

So we all know the game "Marry, Screw, Kill". And if you don't it's where you name 3 people, then everyone places them in one of those 3 categories. Like for example: Captain America, Thor, Iron Man....

Marry - Captain America
Screw - Iron Man
Kill - Thor (The hair really isn't my thing)

So that's the game except I'm going to do it with trends. I'll name 3 trends(with pictures) and you write in the comments section (below) which one you would put in each category. The categories are:

Classic - Something you would wear over and over
Rock It Once - A trend you would wear once but it ends up in the back of your closet
Who the hell... - Is "Who the hell would wear that?"

Alright the rules are set so.... Lets get ready for the first instalment of ""CLASSIC, ROCK IT ONCE, WHO THE HELL?"!!!!!


High wasted cutoff Jean shorts

Turban Headband

High/Low Dress or Skirt

Have Fun! Make sure you let me know in the comments section below what you think!

My Dreamy Wish list

My 26th Birthday is coming up soon and people have been asking "What do you want for your birthday?". I always have the hardest time answering that. It's hard to pick something realistic on the spot but if it was unrealistic and money wasn't an issue then yeah I could rattle things off in a second. So I figured for fun I'd lay out my dream wish list here. Just in case anyone was interested (wink wink).

1. Proenza Schouler PS1 Large - $1,955.00

2. Cartier Love Bracelet - $5,575 (I know it sounds and looks very Fifty Shades of Grey but I love it)

3. Michael Kors Chronograph watch, Rose Gold/Navy, $250 OR Michael Kors Golden overdosed runway watch, $250 (I can't decide on only one)

4. Louis Vuitton Trunk (Mostly for decorating. Traveling with a trunk sounds horrible.)

5. A vintage car - I know it's a huge category but it's hard to narrow it down. So I put a few pictures for you to get the idea.

6. Any Elie Saab gown. I would wear it everyday, anywhere!

7. An old school Vespa (I would also love that dog!)

6 Things I'm Digging On Right Now

1. Rebecca's Minkoff M.A.C. Clutch - I love this bag. I've been looking for a smaller bag to use instead of lugging my huge tote everywhere (which may be why my arm constantly hurts) and I think this cross body clutch is perfect. I'm contemplating getting it for myself for my birthday. Which is in 13 days (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

2. Carole Radziwill from Real Housewives of New York City - What's not to like about Princess Carole Radziwill! Not only has she lived an amazing life but her style is spectacular. She definitely makes people see that no matter what age you are fashion can still be fun.

3. Apricot Juice - Not gonna lie I bought it because of the fun bottle but it turns out its pretty delicious! It's perfect for when you want something sweet but not too heavy. After a little research I found out that its not so bad for you if you get the right kind of juice or juice them at home. The actual fruit is loaded with fiber but you have to juice the peels with it. It's a good source of Beta-carotene which helps prevent heart disease. Along with the Beta-carotene, apricot juice has lutein and zeaxanthin which all 3 help prevent eye problems. Along with vitamin C what more could you ask for?!

4. HO Hey by The Lumineers - Great song! Haven't stopped listening to it since my bf recommended it.

5. M.A.C. Archie Girls Collection - Are you a Betty or Verionca? I've always had a hard time choosing. Betty is the nice girl and I have always leaned more towards her but my true brunette couldn't side with a blond. So I decided both! I cant wait for spring 2013 when M.A.C. launches their Archie Girls collection.

6. Love in the Wild - Every summer needs a trashy TV show and thanks to my friend Kristi (who now watches TV!) I've found my trashy summer obsession! It's a must see if you have nothing else to do or watch. Plus with Jenny McCarthy as the host it reminds me of Singled Out. And if you have watched it how adorable is Ben!?!?!?

Elie Saab is my fashion Hero!

On the last post your were probably thinking "Didn't she forget someone?". OHHHH believe me I didn't and could never forget Elie Saab. The man is my fashion designer hero and if I were forced to wear one designer the rest of my life I would die a happy women in Elie Saab. I have never been disappointed in any of his shows and drawn from all of his work for inspiration for my own designs. Every year his collections are just simply beautiful. This year definitely did not disappoint. Here are my 21 (believe me it was hard to get it down to just 21) favorite out of the 46 amazing looks.
