Walking On a Dream








I'm really into Empire of the Sun lately, thanks to a reader who sent info my way on a really great band. This Seth Cohen quote always makes me laugh... It's pronounced Tee-ah-HUANA. (Tijuana) God, Mom, you are so white. Happy Cinco de Mayo to those of you who are celebrating today!! Bananas in my cereal add a really happy note to my morning breakfast ritual. Anybody else obsessed with crossword puzzles and/or word searches? They occupy my spare time, especially when stuck in traffic. Excited for Mother's day weekend. A family gathering is in store. Lots of food and fun music. I'm sure a cheesy Powerpoint show of images past and laughter will ensue as well. Lastly, any recommendations of what's good right now, movie theater-wise? I wanted to see Obsessed with Beyoncé and Ali Larter but heard it was kind of weak? Oh and I highly recommend the Ash banyan wedges. I could spend 24 hours standing in them. Most comfortable shoes I own.

Raglan: American Apparel. Dress turned Skirt: Gift from Greece. Necklaces: Forever 21 & Anika. Wedges: Ash.

You look so peaceful in the second picture! I love the off-shoulder look of your sweater! There's a documentary of Valentino in the theaters and I'm going to go watch it this Thursday. I'm not sure about obssessed since it just seems like a really ridiculous plot. xxoxoxoxo

Amy said...

Love the photography! But I have a question that's been bothering me for a while... why do you keep your hair so long and unruly? You would look so beautiful if you just trimmed your hair and styled it. just my honest opinion.

Samantha Ann said...

lovely lady!

fashiongeometry said...

I was Just wondering what the song you had on your playlist before you changed it to "walking on a dream"

Thanks.
P.s amazing blog

Jess said...

Gorgeous photos, looks so spring like! Amazing shoes as well. I love love love empire of the sun & movie wise, unless your into Wolverine, I can't think of anything!

Protege said...

You always look so stunning, what is your secret?
The outfit here is so much my style, except I would wear it with wide flared pants or a long skirt (some of us do not have your legs.;)) Absolutely adore the accessories.;)
I hope you will have a lovely Mothers day weekend.;) Even though the weekend is still some days away.;)

morena said...

hi :)
You look so pretty !! Love this outfit !!

KateMossFan said...

Hey!
Your sandals are awesome! It would seem to me that you're almost "Walking on Air" in them! Wow, it kinda surprised me that they are so comfortable! But that's probably because of the wedge heels, huh?
Oh, crossword puzzles. Yup, I love them too. I also love to play Scrabble.
Cinema-wise, I haven't heard of Obsessed, but if you want to see a GOOD film with Beyoncé, I would recommend "Cadillac Records", where Beyoncé plays Etta James. Adrien Brody is also part of the cast.

I can only lol at anonymous above dont listen to it Ericka.

Hmmmmm anonymous? I wonder how your barbie looks right now or how YOU look for that matter, but since you are being anonymous i can only imagine the worst. If you are so cool than why don't you have a website to show the truth????

Ericka I think the ugly green eyeed monster is peeking into your page sweetie, which can only mean a good thing you're going far. Keep it up and don't stop we love you and you're very creative style!!!! Plus you're as pretty as a model.
