You just keep thinkin' Butch. That's what you're good at. (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)

Movie quote from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Just watched it and I loved it, a really cool western movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, really funny-- you guys should watch it. Anyways, moving on to the actual point of the post. This is the Sunday post on cute things I found during the week as well as some of the best dressed. Enjoy!

Week's Clothing Obesession:

Royal Dress, $68, at urban outfitters
Ahh love this dress! The color is gorgeous but I love the loose, twirly cut. For some reason or another I've really been getting into silk clothes lately...

Week's Accessory Addiction:

Coral Baby Ring Necklace by Maya Brenner, $125, at maya brenner
Really pretty and simple necklace, I am practically obsessed with circles on jewelry so this fits the bill perfectly.

Week's Shoe Must Have:

Pin Ballet Flat by Belle by Sigerson Morrison, $270, at shopbop
Oh my goodness, love this flat TO DEATH, I am not even kidding. I love the gold detailing on it, and not to mention, it is a gorgeous color.

Week's Beauty Buy:

Frédéric Fekkai Summer Hair, $20, at beauty.com
I actually purchased this at the beginning of summer and it is amazing. It works so well on hair that spends time outside (think tennis) and it also protects from UV rays so if you have highlights (I don't) then this is the perfect thing for you. But it's just a really good cream nonetheless.

Week's Best Photo:

Gemma Ward

Week's Best Dressed:
First Place:

Michelle Pfeiffer in Lanvin

Honorable Mentions:

Gwyneth Paltrow in Zac Posen


Angie Harmon in Jay Godfrey


Ashley Olsen
The scarf, the cropped jeans, the SHOES!

Seriously, only she can look so good in pleated shorts.

A Vogue Inspired Post

In the back of June Vogue, there were a few featured models (namely Gemma Ward, Hilary Rhonda, Sasha Pivovarova, Raquel Zimmerman, Caroline Trentini and Coca Rocha. But where is Daria??) I really liked the article because they were asked questions about their travels and I thought it was really interesting.

Just a side note, there were a lot of other pictures and everything that were in the article but it would have just taken up wayy to much room in the post. but check them out because they are great pics.




And just to amuse, I thought I'd make one for myself and I included some of my favorite questions. I'm sorry if some of the pictures didn't turn out very well, it's cloudy today and I was trying to take pictures in my room!








While I'm on the subject of travelling, I was browsing through the May issue of Instyle (one of my favorite magazines) with Jennifer Garner on the cover and I came across this cute short article on carry-ons. It pretty much left me drooling over practically all the bags they featured (I mean give me that black Chanel bag). Well here is the article in case you wanted to read it (if you would like to read the text, just click on it and it'll enlarge itself).


My pick for a carry-on.

Summer Serge Day Bag by Boyy $335
I really like this one because a) you can carry it 2 ways: as a tote bag or as a messenger kind of bag across your chest (which is great when you are wheeling a lot of stuff) b) there is a zipper compartment at the bottom if you want to put your books or magazines in and c) looks very chic (navy + white anyone?).

My pick for a suitcase.


Longchamp 22" Wheelie Suitcase $262 at www.magnums.net
Longchamp makes such nice handbags and suitcases! I love how all their stuff is made from nylon so it is water resistant it also has a ton of pockets!

Anyways, next topic...

So I was thinking about doing a new thing with posts on the weekend. I was going to feature a clothing item, an accessory of some sorts, a shoe and a picture for each week. Here it is. But I kind of need some feedback about whether you like it or not... (and I obviously added a few more things in each category since I may not be able to post in a while)

Week's clothing obsession:

Express Cotton Shorts $40
This are just so crazy cute! The zebra pattern in hot pink is so adorable and the gold detailing on it makes it even better!


Secrets of Charm Ingrid Dress $270


Rugby French Terry 3/4 Sleeve Top by Splendid $104


Lux Indio Embroidered Skirt $58

Week's accessory addiction:

Moyna Clutch $189


Glenda Shimmer Bangle at Urban Outfitters $16


Fulham Lattice Earrings $64

Week's shoe must have:

Shellys London Fiji Thong $40
Remind you of a similar Marc Jacobs line??


Oh Deer! Santorini Flat $125


Faryl Robin Joy $149

Week's best photo:

ah Daria... haha

Week's Best Dressed:

Jessica Alba


Charlize Theron


Hillary Duff


Nicole Richie


Emily Blunt

Finally, last thing I promise. Does anyone else think that the metallic trend for nails is cool? Because I really can't decide... too star trek or neutral and pretty?



OK, so this is going to be my last post for a while (actually precisely about a month) because I am going away to camp for pretty much all of July. So unfortunately, no posting for me and I'm not going to be able to return comments! Sorry that it's been kind of back to back vacations... but I'm not going to leave you guys with nothing to read so hopefully this monstrous post that will last the whole month. Well I hope so at least because I spent a long time on it! Happy July, talk to you in August! (or rather blog with you)

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!
