Really is Bringin Sexy Back

While I still like his music, JT has been a bit of a tool lately... but there is just nottttthing wrong with this new Givenchy ad (I am even looking beyond the 2004 style Photoshop)



However, I think we can still safely say that NO ONE will ever beat David Beckham's Armani ads. So just for fun...



Enjoyyyy!

Lisa Frank?

SO glad Ashley introduced me to this fantastic fashion blog, Bryanboy.com! This guy is so fabulous that Marc Jacobs personally sent him the BB bag straight off of the Fall/Winter 2008 collection runway. JEAAAALOUS! Anyway, on this blog there is a "sneak peek" at the totally 90s influenced Gucci Spring/Summer 2009 menswear runway:


I think it is SO FUN! Really loving it.

Bryanboy also has the newest Marc by Marc Jacobs ads up, including this one I have been obsessing over in the newest issue of Vogue (with Nicole Kidman on the cover):

I really adore the bag (which is one of my current favorite colors) and the jacket is also amazing.

Also looooving this new Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Twinsie Sweater':

It looks the same in the back as the front, and I think it gives such a funky twist to a wardrobe staple.

Oh, and for everyone that does not know, BCBGMAXAZRIA has an incredible sale going where so many great things are 30-70% off! Today I got the cute sandals (below) that were originally $200 for $60! Heyyyy!



Also... the wonderful salesgirl at BCBGMAXAZRIA gave me a sneak peak at the pre-fall footwear that is not quite out yet and seriously it is TO DIE FOR. There is this perfect pair of maroon heeled booties with patent and gold detailing and AGH, I am going to need to go back there every single day until they are finally onsale!

I think I am in LOVE

with Zooey Deschanel. So I have basically been in love with her since Almost Famous came out BUT all I have been listening to lately is her "band", She & Him. Their album, "Volume One", is just so great and she has such a unique, beautiful voice. Plus it is great to see women in Hollywood who don't just hop from "career" to career because they can/want the attention but have ACTUAL talent. You practically never see her on the pages of Perez Hilton and that is refreshing.



The video above is of She & Him performing on Craig Ferguson. Her voice (surprise!) still sounds amazing, and she looks fantastic -- I love that dress.

This leads me to more reasons of why I love her... she has FABULOUS style -- always. For example:




how perrrrrf is this Zac Posen on her?!

So between being absolutely gorgeous, being in a few of my favorite movies, having a ~romantic~ past with one of my all time faves (Jason Schwartzman, duh. Shut up, Liz!), and an absolutely incredible voice, it is safe to say that I am in love.

Obsesssssion

Currently loooooving/wanting:


Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Black Patent Coin Purse... since my wallet NEVER fits in my clutches.


Betsey Johnson Feather Earrings


ASOS Double Bar Mary Jane Shoe


Betsey Johnson Large Eagle Bracelet


Dolan Side Button Dress in Blue


Lotus Patent Peep Toe Shoe With Ankle Band


Betsey Johnson Large Feather Pendant


Jennifer Behr Victorian Crystal and Silk Satin Headwrap. However even I would not even try to justify $162 on a hair accessory.


French Connection Wizard Cotton Dress


MICHAEL Michael Kors Berkley T-Strap. 4" heels = always, black patent t-straps = of course, zipper detailing = love. I would have gotten them yesterday in AC but they did not have my size and my sales associates should know by now that I need a new pair of shoes every time I go in there. Can one person have too many pairs of shoes? I am worried I may be meeting my quota.

Currently NEEDING:


Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. I am not sure what color, but I am 100% POSITIVE that I muuuust have this bag!

Showtime needs to step it up

So, while I was anticipating the start of the fourth season of Weeds, I had also known the show was on its way down since third season. It had just become too ridiculous and too unbelievable (I say this as if the scenario was ever "believable") but was just interested to see how they would even TRY to keep it going after the season three finale. And anyone who saw the season premiere, Mother Thinks the Birds Are After Her, the attempt wasn't very successful. Instead, it has become even MORE unbelievable (yes, moving 2 hours south to San Diego will make allll of her problems disappear... riiiight). There still are some funny parts but definitely not as good as in the first season (which was amazing!) or the second season. Basically, I am disappointed. But I will probably keep watching because now I just HAVE to know what happens with stupid Nancy Botwin. Oh, and about Nancy Botwin... I liked in the beginning of series how they made her easy to like and made her remain somewhat wholesome and have now turned her into a backstabbing whore. I'm just not on her side anymore? And I think that was the initial goal of the show?

I also decided I would try out the new series, Secret Diary of a Call Girl (the name is too long). I actually already saw the first two episodes (yay for OnDemand), and the first one was definitely better than the second. I liked the introduction type of thing she did in the first episode. I do not like that they are breaking the fourth wall in the show (think first few episodes of Sex & the City, main character talking to the camera). I guess it is good for establishing the premise of the show but I think it will get really old really quickly and I am assuming they will eventually stop it just like they did on S&TC. So while I kind of enjoyed the first episode, although they could have calmed down with the amount of sex scenes, the second episode didn't really old my attention. The show also appears really low budget, and doesn't seem to be purposeful, and it seems silly for such a huge company like Showtime to do that. So I can't really decide what I think but I will probably watch a few more episodes to see where it goes.

In conclusion (god I suck), Showtime has nothing on HBO. New season of Entourage NOW please!

Stole this from Liz

Your Birthdate: December 19

You are resilient, and no doubt your resilience has already been tested. You've had some difficult experiences in your life, but you are wise from them. Having had to grow up quickly, you tend to discount the advice of others. You tend to be a loner, having learned that the only person you can depend on is yourself. Your strength: Well developed stability and confidence Your weakness: Suspicion of others Your power color: Eggplant Your power symbol: Spade Your power month: October

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Ehh, I like reading/doing things like this... but this is pretty inaccurate. I don't think I in any way had to "grow up quickly" and I definitely am the furthest thing from a loner. However, eggplant is one of my favorite colors!

Oh haaaay

CURRENTLY drooooooling over Prada's fall line!


Nappa A Hobo, $2,120.00
This may just be the most perfect handbag I have ever seen in my LIFE. Seriously, I need it.


Suede Shoe Booties, $620
These actually look really similar to vintage shoes I got about two years ago, however mine are just black. I am obsessed with the block coloring and suede ankle boots are a favorite of mine.
