my favorite things this week

i'm so sorry i haven't posted in forever!! i have been so busy. i know i always give that excuse, but it's true.

anyway, i think these posts should become weekly. what say ye?


this is pretty much the greatest thing ever. via nude lumiere.

If I Had A Heart from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

for some reason, this is easy for me...i pick good looking and intelligent! i'll never be emotionally stable and i'm fine with that haha.


i'm really contemplating buying this. it's so pretty, and it can be a headband!!! and i think you know how much i love headbands haha. i wear one almost every day, literally.

the news

i painted my nails this really awesome black purple. the picture doesn't do the color justice...it's not that black, it's a really deep, deep purple.

also, the jacket i have on in the picture is my favorite jacket right now. it's an 80s j. crew jean one that my mom gave me. hehe. it's perfect.

in other news, albert hammond jr. finally showed off his new line of suits, which are only 43 in number, sold at an exclusive boutique in hollywood, and are all around 2000 bucks. but wow, aren't they delicious?



so yeah, if you're a guy and you have $2000 and you can somehow get these suits, go for it. please. haha.

my favorite things this week

these are some looks i've either wanted to channel or have stared at for an endless amount of time this week:


i can't remember where this picture is from, but these girls are just perfect.



the new lyell collection is perfect. and i mean PERFECT. it's so...me. haha.



can anyone tell me what this picture is? it looks like it's taken from a runway..but i have no idea from what designer. it's such a lovely look though.


i love this girl's hair. very 20s. unfortunately, that will never happen with my hair.


speaking of hair, i like when guys have really REALLY great hair. like this guy:

my friends and i went to a field and took pictures a few days ago...these are the results..



i added one of the photos to my lookbook so go check it out/give me hype/comment pretty please?

i have like 3 posts in the making so get excited! they'll be awesome.

i want to get away

from the clothes horse, the sartorialist, knight cat, and that amazing vogue italia editorial.


gorgeous song...and now it's on the twilight soundtrack. congrats, grizzly! i really have nothing against the fact that all the kiddies watching twilight will now love grizzly bear. or beach house! they deserve the new fans.

in other news, i'm in desperate need of:

1.a trip to some faraway place. italy would do well. or athens.

2.a haircut

3.a root touch-up. my roots are black as black can beee.

4.some retail therapy.

alas, only two of those things will be accomplished this week. i missed all last week of school, so i have tons of make-up work.

i'm really sick

all i wanna do is curl up in my bed and watch a good movie and drink chamomile tea.

i want this guy to be my friend:

the first day i can wear tights is always a momentous occasion-today was the day. fall weather makes me want to wear these and frolic in a forest:
