Vogue circa...

Thanks to Kylie at Bandelle Blog, I checked out the Conde Nast Store online. Interesting Vogue covers from back in the day (1920's...30's..40's) are for sale as art. You like? Art and fashion back then were almost more trendy and modern...is that possible? What do you think?

movie stylin

Marley and Me arrived via Netflix this weekend. It was cute, sad, etc, and filled with montages. Of course, aside from the story, I noticed Jennifer Aniston's wardrobe. I found her outfit below to be particularly interesting. Romper-like dress. I had been window shopping earlier in the day, and found a couple of dresses at bebe with somewhat similar looks. What do you think of this new trend?

Dress Me!

Loving this very affordable dress...but it is sold out online :( Don't you love the color/pattern? It's fun and is loose in the abdominal area! Could be flattering. [39.50 @ Lulus.com]

Hair done right?

Remember the SATC wedding scene when Carrie had a HUGE feather in her head?


That was a little much. But when done right, hair accessorizing can be marvelous. Forever21, my go to for "trendy" pieces. Has some pretty nice stuff. Its all about the hair pieces now....

Just because...

Because they are pretty... Polyvore.com is pretty amazing..check it out.

Questions galore...

[picture from http://www.2c.com.au/]

I was tagged by Tiffany over at I Am Style-ish to answer a few questions. (I must admit, I started to explore the world of fashion blogs only after I stumbled upon hers. So, I feel quite honored.) But there were way too many questions so I've only answered a few.

1. respond and rework: answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.

2. tag eight other un-tagged people

What is your current obsession?
Online sample sale shopping ("window shopping")...Gilt.com, Hautelook.com, Ruelala.com

What are you wearing today:

Bright yellow Jcrew Cardi, Short Sleeved Black Ruffled T, F21 Pearl/Gold necklace, F21 Crazy Zig Zag Color Scarf, Zara light skinny jeans, Flats

Do you nap a lot?
I use to when I was back in school. I loved napping. I think I did it to distract myself from studying. Not so much anymore.

Why is today special?
It is a wonderful sunny day out! Sick and stuffy, wishing it was airy and breezy like the pic. But today is special because Lost is on tonight!

What would you like to learn to do?
I'd love explore my 'creative' side. Learn how to design leather handbags (did any of you watch the Hills? Stephanie Pratt!) , shoot great photos, interior design, paint on large pieces of canvas

What is your favorite weather?

Sunny Santa Monica. Warm & breezy weather.

Makeup, Comfortable Clothes, Camera, Hair Straightener, Scarves

What do you think about the person who tagged you?

She's so cute! Love her style and photos!

I tag: Alison, Stef, Eunice...I don't have blogger peeps to tag! :(

next stop? tokyo, japan

Japan has always seemed to be in the forefront of the fashion world. Skinny jeans/boho chic/ etc were IN way before we caught on here. As I stumbled upon a Japanese store aggregator website today (http://eruca.jp), I was wowed and amazed by their unique sense of style. These are the girly, "light and airy" I liked, but not all that unusual. If you get a chance, check out the site. There are some funky pieces on there, and street style photos that are all very interesting...

Zara has a similar piece. Looks like a mu mu here, but I can see it 'jazzed' up with a belt and accessories .

Cute, simple ring. Yes, I love gold.

Really like the pattern of this scarf

Girly accent to an outfit.

This neutral piece looks so comfortable

Bright colored flats perfect for spring

Boho Chic Top

ps. I was tagged by Tiffany for a questionairre which I will work on tonight. My friends, please sign up for blogger or else I have no one to tag!

my weekend

Hello Sausalito!

Mission Creek

Cherry Blossoms in bloom (although they look a little dead here)

The dogs taking a breath-er

ps. loving shopflick.com, its almost like another version of Etsy but with daily 'private sales'.

forever sweet tooth

you know what sounds good now? sprinkles cupcakes and bread pudding..Mmmmm

Slight disapointment

Checked in at gilt.com at 9AM. However, was slightly disappointed. Found two items I like, but not sure they are worth the price. I've seen the other selections at the Rack. :(

fashion for your four-legged lover?

SF's blueblood luxury has created some extremely chic pieces for the canine. I've gotten this "Jackie - o" collar for Caley. (She looked beautiful in it until the tug-of-wars with Ollie took a toll on it)

And this super cute, modern chic bed.

Now that people are getting married later and having kids later, we're willing to make these splurges on our favorite pups, and I think its worth it!

a question for you all...

Now that Lipstick Jungle has officially been canceled, what do you watch to get your fashion inspirations?

[I've enabled comments for the non bloggers. ]

Lovely vacation

Oh how lovely. I wish I was there. Looks like some little town in europe thats full of character and history. Although I can't complain much about the SF weather. Nice and breezy. Now if only us working people could enjoy it.

Or on a yacht? Either works.

HEY! I have that shirt...

Got this pink gingham a couple of weeks ago. I wonder how it would look if I wore it with bright shorts. hm. (image via forever 21)

I think I like this snake skin shirt? Tucked into a skirt/shorts or over leggings?
