Daisy

I finally went out and bought a bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume.

Delicious! They didn't give me the free MJ bag with it like I was hoping though. But oh well.

Typically I wear Givenchy perfumes, most notably Hot Couture, with Very Irresistable roll-on in my purse at all times.

I'd switched it up a bit and had been using Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique, which is very warm and sweet. But I figure for summer I could use something fresh, and Daisy is definitely that.

My best friend wears it and I fell in love with it!

Outfit for summer school today:

American Apparel forest green v-neck,

Lux zipper jeans from UO,

vintage necklace,

black bow headband from Sally's Beauty (obviously not visible in the photo,)

Electric indigo boots.

I like to throw comfy stuff on for summer school. Waking up at around 6 definitely leaves me with no energy.

Speaking of which, I'm off to take a power nap on my hot mess of a bed up there.

What Would Audrey Do? by Pamela Keogh.

So I'm taking summer school right now to get Speech & BCIS out of the way, simply because I have no room for those classes next year due to the fact that I am taking Textiles & Apparel (yay.)

And we're doing a Hero speech and of course I chose Audrey Hepburn. While everyone else was Googling and searching for a hero, I whipped out my copy of this book from my bag and was done with my speech within 15 minutes.

So! I thought I'd let you in on this awesome little piece of literature. I take it everywhere I go; it's seriously great. It's a self-help/improvement book based on the life of Audrey.

Check it out!


And here's what I wore to school this morning.


BDG plaid dress from Urban Outfitters,
Mossino white flats from Target, my "old faithful" pair of flats,
vintage rings.

I'm positive that my posture truly isn't as terrible as this photo would suggest. I'm thinking it was due to me playing with Indy, who looks like Halloween with her little bandana, yeah?

My Sister's Keeper

So I went with a few girlfriends tonight to see My Sister's Keeper, and wow! I cried enough to ensure a very raccoon-esque look when it was over, that's for sure. I'm debating whether or not to read the book now. I know it would be great but a) I'm already reading 3+ books currently and b) I know I will cry again!

But anywho, I recommend it. It's very touching, and make sure if you see it to wear minimal [and waterproof] eye makeup.

This would be the outfit that I wore this evening.

Racerback tank from Urban Outfitters, can't remember the brand (I removed the tag, too?),

Paris Blues denim shorts,

Libra necklace again from UO,

vintage rings,

and my Electric Indigo suede boots from The Urban Collection!

This photo does the boots no justice, so I took a few of them to display their awesome colour.

Ahh, I definitely love them! And they are very comfortable, which is a plus.

Oh and okay, so I've been watching Nylon TV on iTunes all night aside from the time I was at the theatre. Check it out!

I've watched the Mary Kate video close to umm...23 times, ish, so far? I seriously love that woman; she is simply flawless. All of the vids are 110% awesome though.

Off to watch some more, goodnight!

Muse: Gwen Stefani

Scan from Elle magazine, July '09 No.287

So about a month ago, I went to Houston with some friends to see No Doubt (along with The Sounds and Paramore, with frontwoman Hayley Williams - my celebrity look-alike) and I can tell you that Gwen Stefani is one of those people who looks just as stunning, if not more, in real life as she does in the pages of magazines and on the television screen.

Seriously, not only does she have unique style, amazing energy and a perfect voice; she is a supermom with a body to kill for.

And for these reasons, she is without a doubt one of my heroes.

So I was thrilled to see her on the cover of the July issue of Elle! And I couldn't resist posting that page. Isn't her baby the cutest thing you ever did see?

And those leggings are just so cool. Also in the photos of her are some incredible sky-high Loubou's, tie-dye denim jeans (which she rocks, for the record,) a beautiful satin Marc Jacobs dress, dark nail polish and flawless red lipstick.

Oh how I admire that woman.

And here are some photos of No Doubt and their incredible A Clockwork Orange themed set from Houston, before my camera died:

I kid you not, during one song..I believe it was I'm Just A Girl, Gwen started doing pushups. That's how much energy she had, even with an hour plus of performing. It was awesome.

Noteworthy.

Thank Kim Kardashian for shoedazzle.com. I think every girl who loves fashion [and obviously shoes] but who is on a limited budget like myself, should know about this.

You have a selection of shoes every month based on your style, and you can choose the pair that you love best, and have it sent to you for just $39.

Very cool, yeah?

I got my adorable electric indigo suede booties in the mail yesterday from The Urban Collection. I'd been longing for them for at least a month, and snatched them up the second they went on sale ($28.) Currently I'm too lazy to go take photos of them, but I will soon.

And of course: RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett.

Fawcett was from the city that I live in (Corpus Christi, Texas.)

Yesterday was indeed a sad day, with the pop culture icons' passing.
