hello, sick shoes.


Jennifer Connelly, a lovely face for the Balenciaga SS08. A nice ad with the sickest shoes ever. Hey, those spring clothes would be very well appreciated on a day as warm as today was. Whew.

updates. and excuse me, isn't it january. not april.

It's supposed to be 60 degrees out tomorrow. 60 friggin' degrees. Now, mind you we live in New England. On the coast line, and it is early January. Weird. Anway.
Recent buys of mine:

1. Finally, a pair of "Risky Business" sunglasses from fredflare.com. I was debating between red, white and black. White were sold out and I was fond of the red, but not fond enough. So I got black. $10






2. Finally, again, a pair of pink '80's splatter sunglasses from fredflare.com. And, yes, they do come with a braided sunglasses cord, so what? $9




3. A threadless.com T-shirt "B.F.F.'s" So sick. $17



Girl crush of the moment (no, neither of us are attracted to girls): Charlotte Gainsbourg

Guy crush of the moment: John Krasinski


Teen Vogue had the most adorable Valentine's day shoot ever. My goodness the models were so adorable. Now, I wish I had a boyfriend like that. Well, how about I work on getting a boyfriend frist. That sounds good. But this had to be like, one of, if not THE most favorite photo shoot of mine. And I am smitten with jealousy over everything in it. The couple, her beauty, his looks, her clothes. Gah.

Oh goodness, I love beches. And her outfit, could you get more adorable. The headband is Bernstock Speirs and several others by the same designer are featured. They are fun and quirky hats and headbands. When I googled Bernstock Speirs, I found the website but there was no way to view the items. Bummer.


This photo is among my favorites, although the male model is jumping (which is seen now in almost every issue of Teen Vogue). The girl has another Bernstock Speris headpiece.

If I were to wear glasses, I would wear those ones. Another one of my faves. And look at him. Cutie.


This looks exactly like a place I visited in Ireland in Dingle. And the model is jumping, again.

How cute. My God. I want a boyfriend so bad right now. I'll live.

metallic/shiny/randomly awesome stuff.

Haven't posted in a while because school just restarted and me and C have had loads of work to do among other more fun things. So Sunday, Sunday, Sunday I'm going to rant about pretty things.

This is a pretty metallic Vera Wang dress. I wasn't so sure about some pieces in this collection, but I really liked this dress with the drapey silhouette. And it looks really comfy.
These are just some sweet silver flats with a hidden wedge from Delia's. The black ribbon is super cute. In short: adorable. Also, square (ish) toe, nice.
Converse! Converse alone are some of the best sneakers out there, but when you add sequins, how could they not be better? I have some metallic silver Converse, but I have got a hankering for sequins . The only problem is sequins, in my experience, are tricky because they fall off a lot.

Some other stuff to mention is the John Gallliano spring collection I saw on style.com. I liked the carnival atmosphere and it kind of reminded me of the Notebook, which as much as I hate to admit it, is a terribly good movie even though it has one of the worst endings ever. It is up there with the old Italian Job's ending. I highly recommend both though.
So yeah, the dresses are pretty and feminine and light and they look fun to wear.

The dress below I think is from Blumarine. I liked the pattern and the color (they also had it in yellow and pink).
Okay, I did not like the Dsquared runway show very much, although I have to admit some of their outfits weren't so bad. Not only were some of the models bra-less in sheer stuff which I'm not a big fan of, some of them were holding cigarettes which was just weird.

This is a neat-o little necklace from Fred Flare. I think it should come with a little key that matches that you can give away to whomever you please. 
These are rad Risky Business sunglasses from Fred Flare as well. We have mentioned these a couple times before, but C and I will be purchasing the white and blue ones, respectively. They are wicked cheap ($10) and look bodacious so I think it will be fun to sport these at school in the spring and watch people drool over them.

This is a funny, cute tee from Threadless that is a design that has to be voted to be printed. So I hope a bunch of people say they want this shirt because I certainly do! For some reason jockeys and horse racing fascinate me. Last summer or the summer before I read Seabiscuit and saw the movie and loved them both and it really made me want a horse.

Last, but certainly not least, some sick shoes from Delia's. I think I'd like them a tad better if they had the detailing all around the edge of the shoe, but they still rock.
Last for serious, Ewan McGregor! I just watched Moulin Rouge last week and remembered how awesome he is. Enjoy!

attic exctitement

Here are some things I found in my Grandma's attic. Some of them are better than others.


Vest! Makes me look slightly tool-ish, but it's a good piece to jazz up a plain shirt.
Reeeeally big blue dress. Without the belt it's a giant sack on me. Muumuu-ish. Not what I'd usually wear though.
Kinda cute plaid dress.

randomm.

HAPPY NATIONAL HANGOVER DAY! Yes, yes. Although I am consumed no alcohol last night, today has been extremely slow. And it is snowing snow like there is no tomorrow (which I wish would indeed happen.). Tomorrow, the boarding students come back on campus from their different states, countries and homes. Then Thursday, we start our Winter term. Bleghh.

But anyway, M.I.A for Marc by Marc Jacobs. I think Juergen Teller actually did a rather good job with this. Although, M.I.A. does look a bit "greasy" as someone I saw wrote, I may have to agree. But, its hard for me to hate a Marc Jacobs ad.


Oh, I am just soooo looking forward to Victoria Beckham being the new face of the Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign. HA! Yeah. Right.

Well, I hope that these ads wont be the first ads from MJ that I hate. Now, I'm off to watch the Twighlight Zone marathon on SciFi. Yesss. Happy 2008.
