Weekly Round-Up

Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller were easily my fave dressers at the Met Gala; KB is wearing Balmain and SM is wearing Burberry.  Actually I think it's the styling on both that really pulls at my heart strings.

I saw The Great Gatsby!

...being a big fan of both Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet I thought I would like it more.  Leo is dashing but Carey Mulligan is kinda boring and the amount of CGI is pretty impressive considering it's a period piece.  It's like the A.I. of classic dramas?  To be fair I'd like to see it again to really form an opinion but my overall first impression was that of disappointment. (Sorry BAZ). :P

So Nicki Minaj's pink lipstick is the #1 selling MAC lipstick?! This screams Barbie and she had me at hello.

Lauren Conrad, the artist formerly known as "LC," featured this hairstyle on her blog the other day.  I love her.  The end.

I hope you had a fun Mother's Day.  I went over to my parents and made brunch and then took my mom out for pedis!!

Here's to a speedy work week,

XOXO

gosh.... Keira Knightley got married in Chanel in the South of France in a tiny ceremony.  She said something on the Ellen show about never fantasizing / planning a wedding and she did some googling and was all like "What's a bridal tea party?"  Can we be friends?  I felt the exact same way when I was planning my own and I just felt like I wanted a pseudo wedding where people just come drink and eat and maybe I'll wear a dress and then we bid adieu.. which is what my wedding was like I suppose.  More on that in July - where I'll post do a post for my two anniversary ☺

Mother's Day is around the corner!!!!! What are you getting for your mom?  I came across this dainty lil necklace at Nordi's.  Too bad my mom (Mare Bear) doesn't wear jewelry.. and she reads this blog so I can't say what I have in mind. ;)

So I'm on the hunt for a metallic nail polish.. I think Essie makes one.  So fresh for Spring / Summer!!

This is my new chandelier currently hanging above the dining room table!!  After almost two years of living with stuff we don't like in our house we're finally starting to make some UPgrades.  This chandie is from Lamps Plus.  Pretty different and I wasn't sold on it at first but now I'm a believer.  Also special thanks to my parents for actually installing it.. don't know what we'd do without you guys.. seriously we're specially challenged in that area.

Fresh flowers this week c/o Trader Joe's!  They look great under the new light fixture!

I came home with these on the other day and realized I have a minor shopping addiction.  But I HAD TO HAVE THEM.  They're perf for summer so I'm keeping them I don't care what you say.

TGITW - thank god it's the weekend.

Have a great one!

XOXO

For as much as I love clothing I spend most of my time in the most casual things... a perfect pair of jeans with a white tee is my personal fave.  The weather is warming up - just in time for my husband's fave dress (above)!  It's from H&M; the chambray blouse is from Nordstrom (bp.); the purse is Marc for Marc Jacobs; and the sandals are from Forever 21.

Weekly Round-Up

So my bff texts me, where's the Friday post??  I'm so glad to not think about my cray cray work situation at the moment and do my weekly post!  I've started a new position and it's taking all my energy these days.

Here's Kate Hudson looking smokin' at the Tribeca Film Festival:

Also - have you heard about the Sofia Coppola movie called The Bling Ring?  A new trailer just popped up online, and I can't want to see it.  It's about the teenagers living in LA who would break-in to  the homes of celebrities, like Paris Hilton and Rachel Bilson - and steal their clothes and accessories.   It's based on actual events; pretty cray cray but should be an interesting movie, especially because Sofia Coppola is involved.

Also, I cannot wait to see The Great Gatsby! 

So I'm a HUGE fan of Kiehl's skincare products and I can totally afford to buy it on the regs and they launched a new lotion that actually claims to help alleviate the signs of stress.  It's called the Skin Rescuer and I think I may need this!!

I don't know about you, but this outfit on Alessandra Ambrosio sure gets me excited for summer!!:

I'm so happy it's the weekend!  I may even bust out the Hello Kitty Chia Pet.

Have a FAB weekend!!!

XOXO

Happy Monday!? You may remember this dress from my Valentine's post a few months back.  It's hard to find a dress that really hugs you in all the right places and the minute I zipped this one on it was a great fit.  The weather is warming up but still calls for a coat at night, which is nice.  Also gotta love a cheap & chic dress mixed with a not-so-cheap coat... mixing high and low is my fave; best of both worlds. ☺

Weekly Round-Up

Have you seen the new Dove ad?  It went viral this week and there's definitely mixed feelings about it in the press.  I personally think it's interesting and ulimately fulfills Dove's goal of starting a conversation about women and a wider definition of beauty.

In other, less important? news, Kim Kardashian is officially divorced!  Sadly, she's still dressing poorly for her pregnant shape.  Baby steps!

Trend forecasting is always fun and in this article from The Cut they think they've pinpointed the next 'It' bag; the YSL duffel bag as seen on Gwyneth.  Exciting because duffel is my favorite shape!!

[ you likey? ]

Yesterday I picked up these little gems from Forever 21.  Their sandal selection is pretty great right now and these were only $15!



I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing, fun weekend.  I think I may go see the movie Oblivion, wish me luck beause there's some less than stellar reviews out there, hehe..

XOXO



c o a c h e l l a !

This was my third time going to the Coachella music festival in Indio and every year it's seriously SO fun!  I look forward to it and the fashion is the best!!  Going out there always makes me realize how much I love the desert.. this year was not scorching - which I usually complain about but I missed the heat?!
