My New Addiction

Hello lovelys! I am off to camp tomorrow, but before I go I wanted to leave you with some adorable fashion sets to indulge in. Recently, I found a website called Polyvore.com, where anyone can create fashion collections and sets. Here are some I have made, hope you enjoy!

Alice and Olivia

Hello everyone, I have been so busy the last few days and have neglected my poor blog! The past few days I have been looking through lots of Fall 2010 collections and fallen in love with Alice and Olivia. All of their clothes are so adorable, girly, and stylish! Here are some of my favorites from their collection.

Sweets and Shopping!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! On Sunday I was able to experience a little taste of New York right here in LA. Yes, that’s right, Magnolia Bakery opened in LA and I indulged in some amazing treats! Yum, yum, yum! For those of you who don’t know, Magnolia Bakery is from New York City. They have the most amazing baked goods including cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, pudding, cheesecake, and more. The LA location is great. After shopping in Polkadots &Moonbeams next door all I had to do was walk a few steps and I was there! Polkadots & Moonbeams is an adorable boutique. They have a vintage store and modern boutique; both are filled with tons of great finds! There are also lots of other cute boutiques to shop at on Third Street and you can definitely make a fun afternoon out of it!

J.Who? Oh, J.Crew!

Over the past few years I have always noticed the clothes in J.Crew. I don't think I have ever actually bought more than a few things from there, but during the past few months I have totally fallen in love. As I was browsing their website I came across their Fall Look book; it is magnificent. Every outfit is crafted beautifully and each accessory is styled to perfection. I am so excited for fall so I can start wearing some of these fantastic trends.

Dear Whitney...

Ever since I started watching The Hills, I have always been drawn to Whitney's clothes. Her style is feminine, playful, classic, and bohemian all in one. Each of her outfits are incredibly crafted and I always “ooh and ahh” after seeing them. I love how she looks polished in an outfit as simple as shorts and a top, like 3. Also, her red carpet attire is to die for. I absolutely love the David Meister dress she is wearing in 5 at the 2010 CFDA Awards. It is extremely elegant, and the silvery color is very summery, but classy at the same time. Picture 4 is also one of my favorites. It is my perfect Gossip Girl outfit; the ruffles on the jacket, a cute floral dress, black booties, and a black clutch what else could a girl ask for?! The white dress in 1 is perfectly sculpted and the scoop neck is gorgeous. Whitney’s vest in 2, is absolutely adorable with the floral shorts, a perfect shopping outfit! In 6, Whitney’s outfit looks effortless. Her floral dress is flowy, short, and perfect for the summer. Whitney, can I please have your closet?

Lucky for us, Whitney just launched her own line, Whitney Eve, which you can visit at http://whitneyeve.com/home.

Early Morning Shopping!

This morning I woke up bright and early to go to a private pre-anniversary sale at Nordstrom. Because I am on the BP Fashion Board, I received a special invitation to come and shop. We arrived at 8:00 am, and were literally the only people there. Basically, we had the entire store to ourselves and could try on and purchase all of the anniversary sale items. I got a bunch of adorable clothes from B.P. and everything was reasonably priced. The new editions to my wardrobe include brown lace-up Steve Madden boots, a bandage floral skirt, and a silver watch. I absolutely adore the brown lace-up boots. Even though they are a little out of my comfort zone, I plan to wear them with multiple outfits! The floral skirt is super cute; I can dress it up with heels or down with my new boots or sandals. Also, I think my favorite purchase was the watch. It was only $11.90 (I know, so cheap!) and it is definitely going to occupy a permanent spot on my wrist. It is silver and would even look great next to some other bracelets. The anniversary sale hasn’t officially started so you all can get these great deals too! Who knew you could get so much shopping done before 11? Happy shopping!

The Perfect Purse

I hope everyone had a great 4^th of July! During these first few weeks of magnificent summer I have been stuck in an ongoing purse dilemma. There are times when I need to bring my phone, but not my wallet, or I need to bring my wallet but not my phone. The question always is, which purse to bring? My perfect purse would be an over the shoulder satchel with enough room for my wallet and phone, but small enough so it wouldn’t be too heavy. Now, this isn’t a perfect world so I haven’t found the IT bag yet, but here are a few possibilities.
