Rain - putting a "damper" on spring breaks everywhere.

I woke up about half an hour ago to lots of rain outside my window. Boo, come back after this week or something!

So I watched the movie Yes Man on Sunday with my best friend, and again yesterday with him and another one of my friends.

I don't know if you guys are aware but I am kind of obsessed with Zooey Deschanel, and therefore I absolutely loved this movie (it was pretty freakin' adorable.) She's one of my favourite actresses/singers, she has the perfect brand of cuteness, and she is named after Frannny and Zooey by JD Salinger, which is pretty awesome.

So enough with my ridiculous adoration, let's look at some stills from the movie!

Zooey sings in this movie also, and her band scenes are all very humourous and a bit random. And they prove that she looks good in anything! (These outfits actually aren't too bad.) I didn't think she sounded a whole lot like she typically does in She & Him, but her singing was still good, and the lyrics were quite entertaining.

And the Harry Potter party. Both Jim & Zooey look so adorable. My friends and I want to have a Harry Potter party now.


And look how cute she is in overalls! This is where she is helping with a clothes drive at the end of the movie.
LOVE her hair, also.




And last but not least, the elusive coat. I searched this and found out that many people as well as myself are wondering about this wonderful little blue coat with red piping.

According to International Sequin Issues, the coat is "'a vintage find by costumer Mark Bridges, who updated it with new buttons.'"

So, this exact coat is not to be found, but I have come across this similar one:

Also, Kimchi & Blue had a very similar one for Urban Outfitters, but it is no longer in stock. And I bet you Marc Jacobs has done something very similar. With a little searching though, you can probably find coats that are the same style as this.

Spring Break is here!

And while I'm definitely going to go work on my tan at some point, I think I might be most excited about having time off just to read and actually update this blog and finally start playing with my Lomography camera, and sleep. I love catching up on sleep.

So, some things currently on my mind:

- Alexa Chung for Madewell. I absolutely adore her, and this makes me giddy. I want in on this action.
More from Nylon. <- this article pretty much says exactly what I was thinking.

Oh yeah, and last weekend I participated in South Texas Honor Band with a local university, and throughout rehearsals I was busy flipping through the pages of Vogue UK, the issue with dear Alexa on the cover. There were some really nice editorial spreads, and if you go out and read this, see if you can spy the fantastic Alexander McQueen "armadillo shoes." (Which I love.)

How much do you love those Chanel clogs? And her whole outfit in general?
- Agyness Deyn for Uniqlo. This is just adorable.




- THE TELEPHONE MUSIC VIDEO, hello! If you haven't watched it yet, you're late. But go watch it, and then see if you can find:

  • Product placement, Heartbeats by Gaga
  • Gaga's 17 year old brunette sister, Natali.
  • The quite obvious Tarantino inspiration
  • Late Great Dane Rumpus' sister, Lava.
  • "PlentyofFish.com" dating site. LOL.

And much more. It's just such a great video, which is always expected when it comes to Gaga.

Now, I'm off to make a sandwich. ;D
