"Let's just pretend..
that we go all the way back .." - Illinois





  • My favorite fruit of the moment is cantaloupe.
  • This weekend I hope to achieve one of the secrets I keep talking about....
  • I watched Devil Wears Prada again over the weekend and I'm one of those girls who would kill to have Andy Sachs's job!! I love Meryl Streep's character, Miranada, as well. In many ways she reminds me of my Grandmother who is always up on the latest trends and shopping hot spots. If she could re-do her career choices, I have no doubt in my mind I would have seen her as an Editrix for Vogue or its equal counterparts..... Emily Blunt is perfect in this as well (Emily) from her glorious red hair down to her wardrobe!
  • I'm on such a Weeds high! I need to fuel my mind with at least one or two episodes per night. I just started Season 3. Last night was "Brick Dance" ..... watch Nancy Botwin go at it here.... hahah! There was something so empowering about seeing her break out of her 'shell' and do this, right?
  • A new header... because Isabeli Fontana is sooo über crush worthy, no? Besides, I love her cocker spaniel hairdo in that picture and the chains on her shoes and the grey skinny jeans. Thanks to knight cat and the fashionspot for the image.
Military Blazer: eBay. Vintage belt: Gucci. Tights: Target. Suede Booties: Minnetonka.
And thanks to ModePass Flair magazine for featuring me in my Sequins!!

the military blazerrrrrrrrr!!! Stunning! I love the second picture- you captured this effortless "you wanna take my picture?" look, amazing!!!

Devil wear prada...such a feel good flick! I plan on adding Confessions of a Shopaholic to that category :)

Thanks for your comment!
It's so much more fun to do outfit posts with a photographer in tow :)
I actually wanted to do a close-up for this series for the earrings i'm wearing and when we took them we realized that my left eyelid falls over my eye a little more than my right eye lid and it looks completely unsymmetric!!! Oh man, not a fun discovery! Isn't it funny how the camera picks up on things that are practically invinsible to the naked eye?!

Lesley said...

Are you wearing pants?! lol Great blazer!

Lissa said...

WOAH. Free Starbucks coffee??? How in the world did you get that lucky?

withasianstereotypes said...

Cute, I just bought some cantaloupe, my favorite fruit are cherrys haha. That balzer is lovely and as always your whole outfit is as well. I love your shiny purple(?) nail color. I haven't watched DWPrada in a while, I might just watch it again later.

with love, china le

Jen said...

I love it! Those shoes look so comfy ^__^

we wear things said...

haha i love cantelope!! and love that blazer!! very chic!

Bella said...

You look so chic, of course, this comes as no surprise! But speaking of surprises... you know I'm anxiously awaiting this 'secret' you keep mentioning.
Tease... lol-xxx

Definitely agree about Weeds... pretty much had it out marathon style as soon as I ripped through the dvd packaging. Oh, and I'm loving all these creative collages. You're becoming quite the pro in that department, Honey!

Jojo said...

Love the outfit post....so simple but so stylish... check my blog out http://josclothes.blogspot.com/

Hopefully we can swap links..

Lauren said...

I LOVE weeds!! I got addicted after watching 2 episodes a while back and quickly purchased all of the DVDs as the came out. I think I may have watched them as quickly as humanly possible, it is addicting!
If you haven't read the book version of TDWP, I thought it was much better than the movie, though the movie was quite good.

tanya said...

you look gorgeous! I love the color palette of your choices--perfect, as usual :-)
I love Weeds as well! Such a great comedy.

Lissa said...

Chica I totally thought you were married! And here you are leading this poor barista on, getting free coffees and pastries :]

I'm so jealous. I'd put up with the awkwardness if I could get free Starbucks!

DaisyChain said...

I bought a canteloupe earlier, I've been craving it like mad lately.
I love your outift, the blazer is amazing and your legs are just so endless!

Lissa said...

Yeah...I've been trying to become a memeber since last summer, and I still haven't gotten invited! But I'm setting up my account as we speak because Stephanie invited me :]

Lissa said...

I love "The Devil Wears Prada". I seen that movie for the first time a year ago and I absolutely loved it. One of my favrotie parts is when they do they day to day montage of her going to work and each outfit is RIGHT ON POINT. I wish I can do that as I crossed the street!

Blicious said...

cute blazer! <3

Lissa said...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I hate smoking too...not that I've ever tried it. I just think it's a dirty habit :]

And I feel like a little re-inspiration is just what I need somedays. You know, when you feel so tragically unispired that you don't know what to do with yourself?

Tamara said...

When I used to work as an stylist my mother kept calling me "Andreaaaa" all the time, because she had just read Devil Wears Prada and thought my life (which was a real mess by that time) was very similar to the one Andy has...

I love the blazer, btw! ;)

alexandra said...
