We belong together, like traffic and weather

Geo and I thought it would be fun to change things up a bit yesterday and take public transportation into Burbank. We were meeting up with the fam-bam to see Shutter Island, which I'll get to in a second. And the trip wasn't bad at all. In fact it was only one bus, it took 40 minutes to get there, and it dropped off us right in front of the movie theatre. How convenient!

Shutter Island was absolutely amazing. I can't express enough how wonderful Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio are together. I mean, the film was so trippy but in a good way. And DiCaprio is becoming more and more of a better actor with every movie he makes. Especially when the two of them team up. He's astonishing to watch. This is definitely one worth watching. The movie I'll probably be seeing next is Alice in Wonderland. Best and I are going to get tickets soon, because well, we're sort of obsessed. I am so so excited for March 5th!

Sorry my outfits have been slightly boring lately...I tend to live in jeans, moto boots, and my leather jacket. So, hopefully soon, I'll find an excuse to dress up a little more. :)

Somebody To Love

I love Leighton Meester. I think she's a fairly talented actress, with a hit tv show under her belt. I love her fashion sense...most times. And I feel like she has potential of being a huge star one day...but she really, really, needs to just stick to acting.

In other news, I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday! I know I will. Food coma and early Christmas shopping, here we come!

Comparisons are easily done

I'm sure by now, everyone in the fashion/style world should know about Taylor Jacobson. Not only does she have probably one of the most coveted jobs in the world, as Style Associate to the great Rachel Zoe, but she also has an impeccable sense of style. Sometimes, while watching The Rachel Zoe Project, I find myself lusting over most of her outfits over Rachel's. The thing is...I sort of a massive girl crush on Taylor. She can be a tad obnoxious sometimes, but I mean, everyone can be obnoxious. I just would mainly love to raid her closet...
However, for the past couple of months now I've sort of had my eye on, in my opinion, the most understated part of a woman's body-the hollow of her neck. Why? Because of that ridiculously beautiful sideways cross necklace she wears in every single episode! The first time I ever really noticed it-it was love at first sight! I couldn't believe how amazing it looked with everything she wore. And I've never really been into delicate jewelry (I'm into more chunky pieces) because I just never found anything I felt like I could wear everyday. This piece, I feel like I could definitely wear every day--for sure.
Which brings me to the point of this post...a couple of weeks ago, my honey and I were watching The Rachel Zoe Project and I mentioned the necklace to him. That I've been pretty much obsessing over it for awhile now, blah blah blah...today I received a package in the mail. And guess what it was?

I couldn't be more in love with my babe. Seriously the best surprise I've had in awhile. Thank you so much honey!

xoxo

I owe you a love song

I'm in the mood for love...

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

I've decided that every month, at least once, I want to do a special feature on stylish celebrity couples. The first one being these two, because I am absolutely in love with the way Jessica Biel does casual dressing. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a big fan of JT, but he sure does put himself together quite well! I should really invest in long black skirt. It's such a staple, and here Biel is seen pairing it with just a simple white tank and a leopard scarf. Something so simple yet so chic at the same time! They're just so adorable together.

Leave out all the rest...

I am officially on Spring Break! Possibly the last spring break of my life. I have been for the past two days, but I'm barely blogging tonight, because I went to my hometown to spend some time with the family. So the 4 of us went to Old Town Pasadena, which used to be the ultimate haunt for Geo and me before we moved to the San Fernando Valley. It has so many stores that I love, but wow-be proud of me-I actually didn't buy a single thing. I was very close to getting a pair of Steve Madden platforms, which were on sale, but unfortunately (or fortunately-depending on which way you look at it) the store did not have one in my size. Oh well, I guess it was never meant to be.

Earlier that day, my sister and I went thrifting...which was way overdue! Although, no matter how much I love thrifting, and especially all the bargains I end up getting from it, I still love flea markets more. Maybe it has something to do with being out in the open, and not having to feel like you're being suffocated by all the dust that's surrounding. Nevertheless, I managed to find a white sequined tunic/dress and an oversized cardigan a la MK Olsen-all for under $8. How about that!!!

I had an amazing two days so far. I just wish my babe wasn't working all week. I'll figure out something to do...I'll be in Bev. Hills on Tuesday with my friend Danielle. So that should be fun. Other than that, my spring break is up in the air. Ahh, gone are the days of ULTIMATE SPRING BREAKS. Who am I kidding-it was never really my thing to begin with. :p

Leighton Meester in CK boots. Jealousy ensues. She looks amazing as always.

P.S. Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments guys! You are so awesome, and I adore reading each and every one of your blogs! You have all certainly made blogging much more fun for me, and I truly appreciate your sweetness! xoxo

The Sum of All Your Parts

Family Sunday. I wish Geo didn't have to work today, so that he could've hung out with me and my family. They miss him. Shoot-I miss him, and I live with the guy! Hung out at the bookstore, as per usual-waiting around for our movie to start. Saw "Knowing" which was actually ok. I thought it was going to be the stupidest film. Plus, I kind of have an aversion to Nicholas Cage. So, the combination of that with the fact that it's a sci-fi/horror flick, made it completely unappealing. However, with much convincing from my dad, I gave it a shot, and came out pleasantly surprised.

My sissy poo. Completely tired from the day from walking around and being my unofficial paparazzi. Ain't she cute?! As you can see, we have a totally different sense of style. But I guess that comes with age as well. Although, when I was her age, I was way more into dresses and heels, than she is at 17. But she is still quite the stylish hipster.

Great day. My tummy is happy from good thai food, and my heart is happy from being with the fam bam. xoxo

Can't read my poker face...

Happy Saint Patty's Day!!!

I wasn't exactly festive today. I did wear green, but not enough to garner a post. So my friend, Danielle will be featured instead of me-wearing the cutest green dress in the world, taken in quite possibly the greenest room in the world. :p

As for me...

This was taken yesterday before heading to improv. I was so proud of George for finalizing his workshop, so I wanted to take my outfit post in it. Ah...true love, I tell ya. My tights seriously pull focus from anything-they're so bright.

Monday night was filled with great TV. Gossip Girl came back with a new episode, but before I get to that, The City's season finale aired. Attention must be paid. Though I am glad The Hills is returning next month, there is something about The City that is so much more awe-inspiring. Perhaps it's the clothes, or the architecture, or the lifestyle. New York has always been a city I've been passionate about. Maybe I just have to face facts, and come to the realization that although I'm carefree and love the bohemian lifestyle which LA definitely provides-I'm more of an Olivia girl at heart. Just saying it stabs my heart into a million pieces, because LA will always be my home. But it's true...I do prefer looking more put-together over haphazard. And although I have a budding Fedora collection-I own only ONE flannel shirt. My favorite designer is Chanel, and I prefer dinner parties over bars/clubs. That's me in a nutshell. Who knows? Knowing me, I'll probably change it up again (I'm wearing purple tights in the picture above for God's sakes!). My style is ever-changing...but preferring to look chic and sophisticated will remain the same.

Some Fashion highlights from the 1st Season

Whitney



How appropriate for this dress to be featured in the very 1st episode. It's so LA, but still has a bit of a New York vibe to it as well. Good Job, Whit! She's fitting in just fine.


Whitney with bf, Jay. I love everything about this look. The tights, the boots, the boyfriend blazer. There's such a relaxed attitude about it, yet it's still incredibly edgy and chic.

And then there's that couch! That couch I always smack Geo's arm for, every time I see it. The couch that makes me drool all over myself like a dog. It's absolutely gorgeous. And I'm such a sucker for L-Shaped couches!

Olivia

The faux-fur vest she's wearing looks so incredibly warm. For the way my body's temperature fluctuates, I say it's the perfect article of clothing. Just throw it on when it gets too cold-or take it off when it gets disgusting. Plus, it just screams chic.


You all have read of my fascination and adoration for the Diane von Furstenberg blazer a couple of posts back, so this should not be a surprise.


In a perfect world, my apartment would look as immaculate as Olivia's apartment...or Olivia Palermo herself, for that matter. But alas, I'll just continue dreaming of it, hoping to make it a reality in the future.

Back to GG...the episode was hot, but not as hot as Blair Waldorf's (aka Olivia Palermo reincarnated) clothes! Is it just me or have they been making Blake Lively's character sort of 2nd rate to Leighton Meester's. Well deserved I say, Meester is a better actor, and is absolutely gorgeous. Although, I wouldn't mind rummaging through Serena Van Der Wooden's closet anytime...see what I mean, about the whole indecisive style issue?


That's all for now...To all who are going out to celebrate, please drink accordingly. Tata. xoxo
