moo.

I was watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly the other day and I got the idea into my head that cowboy boots might not be a bad investment for spring.

I used to have some black ones when I was like five and a wore them everywhere. I think the boots might look good if paired with denim shorts and a sharp looking shirt:

The shirt kind of plays up the whole cowgirl look so it might be a bit much, but maybe the addition of a fun printed bag will liven it up:

As long as you don't add this hat:

I'm fairly certain Clint Eastwood would not put fake cowrie shells and aqua beads all over his bad ass cowboy hat.. Also, his hat would have real wear and tear.

Regardless of his manly man poncho, it is not look for everyone. This is NOT an acceptable poncho:

my my miu miu.

I found this photo shoot on foto decadent as well and I really just love love love Kirsten Dunst. Except when she's wearing voluminous blue things:

But anyway, here she is looking gorgeous in Miu Miu:

Now, after giving us all these lovely things, you'd think Miu Miu would make the rest of their Spring Collection equally gorgeous. Well, I went to their website to find out if indeed that was true, and lo and behold, they are producing a transparent body suit of some kind, complete with a black collar and green sparkly glue firework details. I am still opposed to transparent things of any kind worn without something beneath it. I mean, I know I wouldn't walk around with my boobs on parade. Plus the material looks itchy.

Back to the photoshoot at hand, Kirsten has inspired me to try out a big red bow in my hair in the manner of the girls in "A Little Princess":

funny valentine.

Skiing (there I am being clever, as always) the net, I came across these lovely photos at foto decadent. This ad is absolutely brilliant in my mind, and it consists of so many cool prints. Which they featured a lot of in the March issue of Teen Vogue. But anyway.

Except smoking, in the vegetable section? Wee-ahhd.

I like the one where she looks all in pain near the meat. But, that might just be my vegetarian ways coming through. This was so eye-catching.

So as you know, well hopefully know, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I, unlike my Physics teacher who is claiming to not be getting anything for his wife on the occasion, am making Valentine's card for my tight-knit cirle of friends.

My blogging partner has also made her own cards that are absolutely amazing and are made of construction paper and cut-outs of hot men. And the cards also have cute, witty sayings on them.

But anyway, here are some of the Valentine's I made.

Just a thought. Giraffe print is very cool looking.

This is not: 

things I want.

Our school has been so nice to us and has given us a long weekend. Which actually means we get TWO days, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY as our weekend because usually we are plagued with the dreaded Saturday classes. But anyway, on this long weekend among many other things (going to a college hockey game, a sleepover, and eating too much food) I saw the movie Atonement, and my god, is that a beautiful movie. Its so good. Robbie is hot. Keira Knightley looks gorge, as usual, and there is a character with a really cool name, Briony.


Now, I won't tell you of anything in the movie, but you simply must see it.

So anyway, getting to the actual title of this blog. While watching the moment I realized I wanted two things, one of them being a tempestuous romance, and the other being a beautiful dress. The outfits in the movie were rather beautiful.

























It really is such a good movie. I love wartime romance movies. They're so, well romantic. And the cast works so greatly together. Not to mention, James McAvoy is very rather hot in this movie. Too bad he is totally digging Keira Knightley.



And if I can't have one of Keira Knightley's dresses I can most certainly deal with this dress from Anthropologie which is absolutely lovely.



A while ago, I was sitting in my bedroom and I was like, you know what would be so cool? Glasses. And I realized I wanted glasses, crazy, eh? I know. But then I considered getting fake glasses. Like these ones from American Apparel.



Or these ones. No, just kidding.


But then I realized that everyone at my school knows I don't actually need glasses, so if I just came in with a fake pair, then they would know something's odd. So then I gave up on that idea. Then, a couple weeks later I went to get a physical at the doctors office and she claimed that the vision in my right eye was "stupendous" but my left eye was "atrocious." Hearing this, I covered my right eye and looked through my left only and realized I could read nothing on the posters in her office. I had never noticed before. And the vision utilizing both my eyes is rather okay. But the doctor said I actually needed glasses.

So this weekend, I went out to the eye doctor with my mum and ordered glasses. I wanted a pair of Marilyn Monroe's giant cateyed glasses from "How to Marry a Millionaire" but alas, they were none to be found.


I ended up getting ones that are similar to this.


Boring, I know, but there were really no great ones. I mean, there were like only 2 red pairs and a few purples, but nothing really exciting there.

Now, I'm off to do homework, all of which I saved for Sunday night.
P.S. GO GIANTS!

golden age of couture.

So the other day I was watching Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. And I know everyone always praises Audrey for her style, but I just had ooh-and-ahh over her little black dress from the movie.

I love the shape of this dress. You can't really see it, but it has a nice full poofy skirt.  The seams in the bodice are really nice as well. It adds structure and the bows on the shoulders soften it up a little. Her hat is pretty nifty too. It's like a little crown and I'm pretty sure you could fill it with M&M's or something as snacks. Also, I think wearing gloves and "party yarmulkes" (as me and C have come to call them) should definitely come back in style. Audrey also has a great wardrobe in Funny Face. She gets turned into a high fashion model and naturally gets the best designer clothes.

I like the bell shapes of the skirts in the second and third picture. Also, I feel a deep need for a striking red dress. All this researching on Audrey reminded me of the Golden Age of Couture exhibit that I really wanted to see. It showcases beautiful dresses from the 40's to the 50's and was not in any museum near me.





Simply gorgeous.
