Let the Countdown Begin.

Lookin' fab as always, not too sure if I love this poster, a little futuristic for me...can't wait for Sex and the City 2 though! 

Snow Day!

Today we had our first snow day and I'm celebrating full on with some cozy pj's and the new January issue of Marie Claire, with the talented Natalie Portman on the cover. I'm not usually a Marie Claire fan, but when I flipped through her spread I had to get it; she looks flawless. Not to mention she's a Hollywood starlet in her 20's who hasn't been to rehab or graced the cover of Star Magazine with a panty-less limo shot. Refreshing, right? Take a peek at some of the photographs featured in the January issue: 

All about the shoulders.

After many hours of procrastinating finals work with online holiday shopping, I've picked up on a fun new trend- shoulder pads. You're probably thinking Working Girl, very 80's, no way in hell you're going to rock that, but I actually think I kind of like it. Why not accentuate the shoulders? If you got em' flaunt em', right? Here are some of my favorite sexy shoulder looks:

What are your thoughts on the new trend? 

Gettin' Crafty.

This past week, my sister and I spent our Thanksgiving evening at Michael's, the crafting mecca...cause what says Thanksgiving like a little DIY project! We bought plain canvas tote bags, some stencils and a few Sharpie's to create individualized bags; an idea we both came across on the blog, P.S. I made this. I customized mine with an "M" patch that was just simply ironed on, and created the pink stripes using a sharpie and some tape.The sharpie fumes have subsided and I can finally enjoy my new tote, wouldn't these make great party favors? Check out the before and after below, and if you like what you see be sure to check out my sisters' final product! 

Get Connected.

I've watched The Hills religiously and I had always fawned over Lauren Conrad's personalized connector ring, but had never seen this style ring in stores anywhere...until now! Forever 21 has a bunch on their site and for $3, I think I can fit them into my recessionista budget. Take a look at Lauren's signature ring, as well as Forever 21's options below:

What do you think about the connector ring trend?

I'm Uncomfortable...

Someone get Momsen a barf bag. 

Look of the Week: Can't get any Brighter.

This past weekend I spent a night visiting a friend at Amherst College, conveniently located just miles from not only an adorable, funky town, but an Urban Outfitters as well. I think I'll be visiting her more frequently after this little find...I'm working on a budget, so after sifting through the overpriced silk tanks, I came across a true gem on the sales rack: a turquoise fitted boyfriend blazer with cuffed sleeve detail. In Love. Rocked this bad boy today with a black tank, skinny jeans, and black and white gingham flats. It'll be great for the holiday season coming up with a skirt and some heels! Now I've really gotta plan an 80's party...take a look!
