Oh, Johnny and Kate..
I love this video, neither of them seem very thrilled to be doing whatever interview that is. It's such a ridiculous set and they look very out of place, especially Depp. I love watching interviews, especially when you can tell the celebrity has no interest in being there. It's amusing :)


Well you two clean up nice.

Check out some more of the same here.

As much as I adore Kirsten Dunst, as mentioned in my previous post, I have to say that Jessica Stam pulls off this Rodarte much better. Maybe that's not fair, since Stam makes her living on making clothes look good, but eh, life's not fair.

Ahh Marie Antoinette, a fabulous movie about a fabulous gal. Yes, she may have had a major part in running France straight into debt, but she did it with such style! The film aptly displays this. I just purchased the soundtrack, which reminds me of A Knight's Tale (another great movie). It has an awesome mix up of music, which mostly consists of songs from a few decades ago rather than centuries. I adore Kirsten Dunst, and Sofia Coppola does a superb job of writing and directing. It's such a colorful movie, and I love watching it just for the sets, props, and of course the costumes.

Oh, can't forget about that hair!

A couple of days ago I seemingly randomly mentioned that I was in DSW. I meant to bring up this pair of Steve Maddens I found there, but my Calvin Klein rant was getting a bit lengthy. So here it is for the shoes. I spotted them across the room...it was love at first sight... Cha well not quite but I did fall in Like with them. They were some Marni knockoffs, like the legit ones Camille has from Childhood Flames. Tre cute. And quite easy to walk in. Alas, I have nothing to wear them with, nowhere to wear them to, and certainly no one to wear them with since I would tower at least a foot over everyone. Such a shame.
They were similar to these, except with more of a heel than a wedge.

It seems like it was only a week ago that Michael Jackson was sparkling in a Balmain tee, and just yesterday that he was cloaked in a Givenchy jacket... Okay, I can't say that I'm all that fascinated with these articles, it's really just the only recent mention I've heard of him. Oh, but a few months back when I visited the Motown Museum I saw his white glove. Yeah, but that's about it. Oh wait and I made a card for my friend with a picture of Michael on it! Anyway... I'm always shocked when celebrities die. It just seems like they're always going to be there, and I guess in a way they will be, since they're basically immortalized by their work and in the tabloids, etc. This was kind of a ramble-y post but I just felt it should be about the late, and sometimes great, Michael Jackson.

I want you back, Michael ... not really, that was just too good to let slide by

Today at DSW, while I was tottering around in shoes I'd never actually buy, I mentioned to my mom I want some Calvins. I mean, it's not like this is really anything new. Yes, the big buzz about the latest billboard did re-spark my interest, but I originally wanted a pair about a year ago. But, of course, my mom had heard about the ad and consequently shut me down immediately. What a buzz kill. I do think the television commercial goes too far, but I don't feel the same about the billboard. It's been replaced with a gorgeous model in a little red bikini. So cool. Now instead of a sex scandal, girls will just want to puke up that burger they just ate. Nice.

But Calvin Klein is just so iconic! Especially of the 80's and 90's, with Brooke Shields, Back to the Future, Kate Moss, Marky Mark... And I'm really into those two decades right now. But hey, Calvin Klein got the attention they wanted, and maybe my mom will come around. Yeahhh..

I found it! In Vogue's big Spring issue from last
year. I am obsessed with Burberrry's Spring/Summer 2008 campaign, and I finally found a spread of it! I'm pretty annoyed with myself though because I know I nabbed a booklet from the Burberry store, but I managed to lose it, or at least temporarily misplace it, so I'm stuck with just a rip-out from Vogue.




A major part of what makes this specific campaign so so appealing to me is the video. I love those black heels worn with black socks, seeing the models in action, enjoying themselves, and, of course, Blondelle's "Pest Control" blaring throughout.

Long time no blog! Basically because I've been lazy and unmotivated, sorry about that. Yesterday I was going through all my Teen Vogues, looking for pages to tear out to start covering my bare bedroom walls. The only thing is, it kills me to ruin my babies. So I only managed to rip out two single pages and a Tommy Hilfiger spread.

A little TPT?  But only in the best way possible.

Clueless is an epic movie.  The clothes are epic, the lines are epic, the actors are epic.  I also really like the knee-socks thing and I'm trying to figure out how those could work without pairing them with full on yellow plaid.  The Sartorialist captures Consuela Castiglioni, the designer of Marni, pulling them off quite nicely.

For one of my classes we could bring in and explain a quote for extra credit. So i quickly googled a quote...Eleanor Roosevelt (go with the classics) and came up with this one:

"I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him."

My explanation was something like - - - It's like Batman. When he came back from being a ninja, he faced his fear of bats, embraced them, and then became The Bat Man.

Combing Eleanor Roosevelt and Batman is legit, right? Righttt.

Chloë Sevigny, in Chloé, at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic.  Love love love.  I'm sure Prince Harry liked it, too.

Painted my nails while doing my homework.  This is exactly why it takes me forever to get anything done.

I adore this color  -  Basket Case.  It makes me happy (:  Also, I'm not positive how to pronounce Orly, but it looks like, O RLY?  hehe

The rain woke me up around 5 this morning, and I could not for the life of me fall back asleep.  So I decided to draw since I haven't for quite a while.  Sadly, I didn't look quite this cute today.

first blog post...ever..

Hmm... Since my mom and older brother have blogs, why shouldn't I have one?  We'll see how well I keep this up and going.  It'll probably just be a mix of things I like, things I'm doing and would like to do, and a smattering of other randoms.  Anyway, I feel like I'm writing solely to myself at the moment, so I'll stop being to pathetic and explore this Blogging Thing a bit more.
