well bloggers... i have decided to take a little hiatus from blogging. i know it's really horrible of me to do this because i haven't been updating at all lately and no returning of comments... gah it really has been bad hasn't it?? i just need a little time off... between school and tennis i just have had zero time whatsoever and it is just a little vacation i guess. so to that end i don't know how long this break is going to be, a few weeks, a month... but don't worry i'll definitely be back with a bang! so ciao bellas, at least for now :-)

"Whoever said orange was the new pink is seriously disturbed" (Legally Blonde)
Well first off I am SO sorry that I haven't posted in over a week! So so horrible of me, especially after my long hiatus at camp and now this... I was just sooo caught up with tennis, summer reading, watching grey's re-runs and just doing nothing (my favorite thing to do) that I have been a terrible blogger! Sorry about that but I'm working on a handful of posts right now so there are more to come! 
The ultimate pink-wearing queen: Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde (sorry, I just had to put the picture in here because I was watching the movie the other night with some friends and I had forgotten how good it was!)
So I don't know about you but I was having some serious issues trying to interpret the new pink trend for fall. I had absolutely NO idea how to pull it off! Anyways, I did some looking around online and I think I found some cute pink clothes/accessories that are wearable and then I gave some tips on how to pull it off. Enjoy!
I found these articles in teen vogue and lucky after I made the post. I thought I may just include them for kicks.
Claybrooke collarless trench coat by Burberry, $1295, at net-a-porter
Perhaps my favorite thing by far. It's a shame that the price is just a tad over my limit but I can always dream... hehe. But I love the black buttons and the dark magenta color.
Rich & Skinny Leggy Jean, $176, at shopbop
Sparkle & Fade Shiny Leggings by Urban Outfitters, $24, at urban outfitters
Gosh well I may just worship you if you can pull these babies off. I most definitely could not but to all those daring fashionistas with enough fashion sense to make these look good, I will seriously hail you as my fashion savior.
Revival Floral Tunic by Free People, $98, at free people
I really love the design at the bottom of this dress, gorgeous!!
Jeffrey Campbell Vivid Heel, $98, at urban outfitters
Clarice Wool Dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs, $358, at shopbop
Oh my goodness, probably my second favorite thing here. I love the cut and the keyhole at the top with the black accent button.
Moyna bag, $76, at moyna
Alexis Windbreaker by Forever 21, $22.80, at forever 21
cheap + chic= love it
Flared mini dress by Milly, $410, at net-a-porter
One of my other favorite things- loving the black accent bow at the top= complete genius!
OPI nail color in Strawberry Margherita, $7.00, at OPI
Wearing this color right now and it is a pretty pink, especially for your toes.
Skinny Leather Belt by Miu Miu, $195, at net-a-porter
A fabulous belt to do over a brown sweater or a tunic.
Jersey Headband by Forever 21, $2.80, at forever 21
Egyptian cotton cardigan by Jcrew, $68, at jcrew
It's really all about balancing out the color, subtle and dark hues work great.
If you're going to go with the classic pink dress, I'd suggest accessorizing with black tights and either black chunky heels or booties. Like these:
Sparkle & Fade Opaque Tights, $12, at urban outfitters
Kork-ease patent wedge, $158, at urban outfitters
Duplex boot by Steve Madden, $130, at steve madden
If you're going to go with the pants, I'd suggest doing a classic white shirt (button-down is an option) and a jean jacket and maybe pair it with a pair of booties like the ones above.
Classic jean jacket by Gap, $50, at gap
If you're going to go with the pink coat (trench or bomber) I'd suggest doing the classic black or navy trousers underneath with a button down and a sweater vest on top.
Solid deep V-neck vest by Jcrew, $59.50, at jcrew
City-fit lightweight wool twill wide-leg cuffed trouser by Jcrew, $148, at jcrew

GOSSIP GIRL + The A-List + a lot of other ramblings
The first book in the Gossip Girl series
The cast of the Gossip Girl TV show in all their glory.
You guys must watch this clip! It looks so dramatic!
So I totally know that this is nothing fashion-reated but I'm not sure if I've been off the planet lately or whatever but I just found out that there is a TV show based on the series Gossip Girl!! Oh my god I am so excited! I love the series= amazing. Not to mention that this series will finally put a face(s) to the characters in the books because on the covers, there are people (I'm guessing models) but their eyes are never captured so you are kind of seeing half of a face...mysterious don't you think?? But anyway...if you haven't read the books you need to- they are so good!
And I will admit that the titles alone are just like begging you to read the books! Seriously- who isn't going to be interested in a book titled "You Know You Love Me" or "Nobody Does It Better"?
Ok so those were just a few of my favs but look out for the show which is coming SEPTEMBER 1ST on the CW!!!! (well sep. 1 was the last date I heard but that is so soon!!!)
And here are some other pictures that I thought were kind of cool...
Ok so Blair (Leighton Meester) looks wayyyy better in this picture than she did for the promo shots below. I mean now she looks a lot more like the Blair I imagined.
It's really stupid but I thought that just for fun I would create an outfit for each of the main characters just to represent their personality and all. I really based the clothes on their budgets in the series so that accounts for all the WAY overpriced clothes/shoes/bags that Serena and Blair will be wearing...hope you like it!
Blake Lively as Serena van der Woodsen
Cast pretty well but I will admit that it is pretty hard to find a girl who is supposed to be like the hottest girl on the planet, I mean I can kind of get their dilema. But I really liked her in Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (a movie which almost everyone needs to see just to see it) and I think that she's a really good actress.
If I were Serena I would wear:
Goodworth double-breasted jacket by Burberry $995
Wide Neck Voile Blouse by Chloé $1370
Cigarette leg jeans by JBrand $170
Edith leather shoulder bag by Chloé $1490
Embellished ballet pumps by Miu Miu $550
Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf
Not exactly how I pictured Blair but I think that she looks way better in the pictures above.
If I were Blair I would wear (nice rhyme huh?):
Tweed Fitted Jacket by Marc Jacobs $2900
Athe Cap Sleeve Top by Vanessa Bruno $372
Chiffon mini skirt by Roberto Cavalli $1550
Black Patent Leather Ballet Flat by Sigerson Morrison $395
Ramona leather tote by Jimmy Choo $1850
Taylor Momsen as Jenny Humphrey
She looks really young in this picture- I think that she may be 13...and doesn't look at all like what I pictured Jenny to look like. I mean what ever happened to the brown hair and like big boobs? I pictured her like the girl on the cover of the It Girl series. 
See? Much better.
If I were Jenny, I would wear:
Hopsack Jacket by Rebecca Taylor $284
Belted Tunic by Generra $165
Leggy Sterling Wash Jean by Rich & Skinny $165
Dolce Vita Shine On Hurache $68
Canvas Faridah Bag by Marc by Marc Jacobs $328
Chace Crawford as Nate
Eww I'm sorry but he is not what I expected Nate to look like. Nate was supposed to be hot. I mean this guy just looks like he went to the salon to get his eyebrows done AND hair highlighted. I mean is he bi or something?
Yes well and I couldn't exactly think of a menswear outfit since I am not an expert on mens fashion but for Nate: khakis, 20 year old polos, sperry's... you get the idea.
Just as a side note, my other favorite series, The A-List is apparently coming out in a movie! I looked everywhere online and there is absolutely no information on it but check back because I'll make a post as soon as I hear something about it.
The first book in the A-List series.
Sorry that was such a long and ramblig post!
