new books

I bought two books over the past two weeks that i absolutely love: Lauren Conrad's style book, which i got signed at her book signing =], and the new ELLEments of Personal Style book, which is my new favorite book.





erin wasson



my like ultimate style icon, charlotte gainsbourg! I almost died when i turned that page over and saw her face.



milla jovovich



This book is full of even more style icons. I would say it is an essential to any woman's book collection.

@ Paris Fashion Week


Flats! They're back! A lot of designers are starting to show models in flats. I consider flats to be necessary for a casual, yet still classy, fashionable look. When I was younger (still in my comfortable stages), I only wore flats. I hated heels. My cousin Jen used to yell at me all the time, because I'm short. I'm only 5'3", and she was as tall, so heels are necessary. And heels ARE necessary. But nothing says you cant be comfortable and fashionable at the same time.

I'm not really into the flip-flops that everyone is wearing to classes. But i would wear the flats seen at these designers shows.


Giambattista Valli




Stella McCartney

which boasted some other trends I saw as well.

Sass & Bide

Sass & Bide's show today blew my mind! I absolutely love this duo and if spring is like this next year, I will by so happy.









the coral section of the show was my absolute favorite part.

getting inspiration from...

i love the classic french style of these two sixties icons.

Jane Birkin






Francoise Hardy

blogs and such that i love...

i am very upset that taylor jacobson will not be on this season of the rachel zoe project, however i like her by herself more than on the show because of her blog. i wish she would just get her own show!














my other new favorite obsession is NAAG, which is a collaboration of agyness deyn and fiona byrne. their newest music post highlights my new favorite album, "crazy for you" by best coast, which, unfortunatly for me since im a touch selfish with music, is getting rave reviews by everyone. rightly so because of its california oldies-ish 60's feel.












another site that i adore is polyvore.com. i could look at it for hours and hours for inspiration.
here are a few things from the site.



i also love weheartit.com and lookbook.nu for fashion inspiration, etc.

having a moment

i am in the midst of watching all of the episodes of rich girls. when i was 13, my goal in life was to be ally hilfiger. i still really love her. she is definitely a fashionista. so i am reminiscing about the days before laguna beach and the hills overtook mtv and watching the season =]

here's the rich girls theme, in case anyone has no idea what i am talking about.



there is also a clip with mischa barton at prom with the girls. there's no way its not her. heres the clip; it is towards the end when jamie is freaking out about someone using their limo. tell me about it.




here's an excerpt from an interview with Mischa Barton in 2004 in Cosmo:

C: You went to Manhattan’s prestigious Professional Children’s School. Did you have any famous classmates?

M: I started right after people like Scarlett Johansson and Christina Ricci finished. The Rich Girls [Ally Hilfiger and Jaime Gleicher] were there with me. It’s funny that they ended up with their own show. They’re pretty much how they are on the show but not quite as bad.

holy shit

someone tell me where i can get this? coolest thing ive ever seen!

L.A. Candy movie!?!?!!

Lauren Conrad Says ‘L.A. Candy’ Movie Will Be Based On All Three Books In Her Series » Hollywood Crush


just read this article. i have a guilty pleasure called lauren conrad and the L.A. Candy trilogy, so it will probably be my favorite movie.

rainy day in phoenix

skipping class.

new she & him video streamed this morning via pitchfork =]

you all should know that my number uno favorite person on earth is zooey deschanel and my musical hero is m. ward. he is like my god. so this video is basically my life (minus m. ward looking like he's at that school to murder people haha).

my oscar picks

my picks for best dressed:
sarah jessica parker in chanel

or

kristen stewart in monique l'hullier

however, i think that kristen couldve used a bit more bling. i didnt care for the back of SJP's look, but i loved the front (and it's chanel, so i cant argue with karl's genius).
in addition, i liked cameron diaz's choice, but the whole thing was a touch too rachel zoe. i think the sparkly armani prive dress has been done too many times.

i lovedd nicole richie's look, mostly because i love her so much =]
