Tagged!

Well it appears I've been tagged by Uber Chic and Sarissa and I don't really know what to do but whatever here it is!

Game Rules:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.

Anyways... getting on to the point of the post.

1. I have an addiction to wearing my cowboy boots. But I don't really feel all that bad about it because I got them before Dukes of Hazzard came out and before Britney post babies started wearing them.

2. I really wish I could pull of black nail polish but unfortunately I can't.

3. I think that 'Little Miss Sunshine' is probably the best movie ever made, I'm not even kidding.

4. I am seriously obsessed with the show '24'. I'm not even kidding, I've bought all the seasons and I've watched them all at least 3 times.

5. I am insanely scared of bugs. Spiders, cockroaches, caterpillars (even if they eventually become butterflies, they still gross me out)... etc.

6. When I was younger, I used to always want to be one of the Disney princesses.

7. If given the chance, I will seriously eat Nutella as if it's my job. (and even as a joke, my friend gave me a collector's edition jar as a Christmas present)

And the fabulous tagees (who I'm tagging) are...
Plain Jayne
Life as a Fashion Addict
Cup Cakes for the Wierd and Wonderful
Lama Drama
Say Yes to Clothes
Très Très Chic
Peace Love and Fashion

So I felt like I had to include some kind of fashiony thing in here so here it goes...

Look familiar?


Rhinestone Bowler Bags at Intuition $95 vs. Marc Jacobs Version


Forever 21 Dress $23 vs. T Bags Dress

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the week,

Eva Mendes


Jessica Alba


Ashely Olsen


Alexis Bledel


Cameron Diaz


Dolce Vita 40's Oxford $98
Now don't these just remind you of some kind of shoe worn in the 1920's or something? The bows are adorable!

Also, I kind of went on a shopping spree at target and I got these really cute shoes as well as a few other things... but my friends thought they were hideous but I think they are pretty cute. Thoughts? I really don't know what to do...


Rafe for Target Sandal $24

Post on the way!

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!
