The line isn't even in stores yet, but that doesn't stop Carey Mulligan from grabbing a coffee in Proenza Schouler's Fall 2013 collection. I wish I had her closet:
But until Proenza starts sending me their collections in advance this will have to do:
Could there be a better inspiration for fashion than literature and paintings? I don't think so. And Burberry's Spring/Summer 2014 collection is the perfect proof:
I really hope there'll be a women's version of that yellow raincoat.
I'm a bit early with my Pretty Little Liars post this week, but after seeing Spencer rock one of my all time favorite wardrobe staples in the promo for tomorrows all new episode, I just couldn't wait:
The item that got me so excited was a simple but classic chambray shirt dress:
It's IFB project time, and this week it is all about making lists:
We all know them. Those days when we stand infront of our closets and the only look that seems to work is the classic jeans and white shirt combo. But classic does not need to be boring. Here are my 5 favorite ways to add interest and style to even the simplest of all looks:
I wasn't going to buy in into the current Flamingo trend. Why not? Been there, done that. There used to be a time when almost every shirt I owned had a pink bird on it, but I grew out of it and didn't want to fall back into old habbits, until...
What starts out as the ultimate weekend getaway quickly turns into a dark and twisted mystery, when a group of teenagers discovers a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. To make matters worse a raging storm cuts them off from the outside world, and the exclusive island becomes a death trap when the friends start dying one by one...
If the story sounds familiar to you, it might be because you read the book it is based on: Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. And if it doesn't then you should also add that to your reading list.
Watch: Fear Island
A group of friends is headed to a small island for a weekend getaway, there's a creepy caretaker, one of them is a killer... You know the drill. I didn't have high expectations for this movie. I figured it would just be a bad movie movie version of Harper's Island, but the twist at the end of this movie makes you want to rewatch it as soon as the credits start, just to see if there were any clues you missed...
Something else that speaks for this movie is that it succeeds in shocking without dropping buckets full of gore every time the audience is supposed to "jump" - which is always a plus.
Even though it is darker than the band's previous works (but not nearly as dark as the cover suggests) Forever Halloween isn't anything new, but it's the perfect killer-island-weekend-soundtrack. My personal favorites include White Walls and Kennedy Curse.
Pretty Little Liars is back tonight! I CAN SEE YOU - A
Since this blog has always been rather Pretty Little Liars heavy, I figured I'd highlight some of my Rosewood related posts to make the hours until the premiere go by a little faster:
It's the perfect way to glam up a basic manicure. I don't recommend doing more than an accent finger though, as the texture is a bit much to get used to (seriously, it would drive me crazy within an hour).
I'm completely overboard for Essie's cruise inspired Summer 2013 collection.
Inspired by nautical elements and tropical destinations, the collection will brighten even the grayest day, and make you feel like you're sailing into the sunset everytime you catch a glimpse of your hands - or toes.
My favorite is definitely Naughty Nautical, a vibrant and bright teal. It reminds me of a cross between my all time favorite Essie shades Turquoise and Caicos and Trophy Wife.
But I will also give Full Steam Ahead a chance, as I've been looking for a good lilac for a while and this just might be it...
First all thank you for all the Birthday Love! The lovely messages, e cards, and pictures turned an otherwise rather boring day into a very special one (and don't worry I will have a party on the weekend).
Now on to what this post is actually about. For the last few months I tried to embrace my natural brown hair. When I first got my hair cut into a pixie last year, it was the light shade of blonde that it had been for almost three years before the crop, and I loved it - but I soon realized that dark roots are a lot more noticeable in short hair, then they were in the messy bob I had before.
Because I couldn't imagine getting touch ups every five weeks, it was back to nature. And I liked it, it looked good, it was easy...
...it just wasn't very me.
So I made an appointment for the end of the week, and this picture of the lovely Carey Mulligan proves that minimal upkeep can be more than enough.
This week IFB asked us to blog about our summer style. My personal summer style does not differ all that much from what I wear during the other seasons, but I always rely on five things to give me that laid back summer edge - no matter how bad the weather is:
When it's too cold for shorts, I reach for white denim to give my outfits a summery feel. But remember, you don't want them to look cheap - or worse, end up with seethrough ones. Make sure you get a good quality pair that will last you all summer. A good idea is always to look for them on a salesrack during the winter.
Whimsical Tops:
I love my Free People camis in the summer, even if they just peak out of a cardigan.
Beach Bags:
Who cares if you are just going to school or the grocery store, there is no reason why your books or frozen peas don't deserve a little beach vacation.
Bright Sandals:
As soon as the weather allows it I break out the brightest sandals I own.
Blue Nailpolish:
Nothing says summer like a manicure that makes you think of pools and beaches. I personally love Essie's blues, especially the metallics.
