Ballerina Buns!

I am loving these ballerina buns! I'm seeing them a lot in magazines but I have to say, when I tried one on my own yesterday, it didn't turn out quite right. It was right on top of my head and to be perfectly honest, I think I looked quite ridiculous! I think the one below is perfect messy, high up but not too high and with those hairbands added, just the cutest!

Now, while I personally feel having it right on top of my head doesn't work for me, I think Kate Bosworth really pulled it off!

La Roux Meets Harry Potter (trixie)

Here is a link to a funny video where the main actress on take180.com plays the singer La Roux and tries to get a role in the next Harry Potter movie. If you haven't seen the music video for "Bulletproof," I would watch it before this one. Enjoy!

1990s Nostalgia

So, recently I've been feeling a bit nostalgic for the 1990s. Now, I was by no means a Gen X kid, I was literally, well, a kid. I remember some of the fads such as push pops and Furbies but I definitely didn't fully experience the 90s. So, I decided to go out and rent (what I consider) a bunch of 90s classics!







So, the movie above I would say is a bit silly?(to put it nicely).
The humor reminds me of Clueless but overall, it was a fun
movie about two best friends trying to be something they never
were for their high school reunion and finally learning that lesson
to just be themselves!

Wow, this is such a classic! I don't think anyone has not

NOT seen it. No description necessary!

My sister-in-law says this is very reminiscent of how the 90s

were. She said it really captures Gen X (teens/young adults in

the 90s). Its about a group of friends trying to figure out what

to do after they graduate college and who they are. (Notice the

figuring out who you are trend here?)I wouldn't say this is one

of my favorites but it definitely captured reality and the grunge

trend!

Hah! This movie is definitely another easy watch! The main

character's name is Cher and she is definitely a bit of a diva!

She loves shopping and while not always appearing the

smartest, she does somehow always manage to get herself out

of sticky situations. She learns along the way that you can't

change people and that you can't control everything.



This is the last movie on my list because I have yet to watch it. So many people like it but I've just been putting off seeing it. From what I gather,

two step siblings make a bet. If the guy can get the girl who has sworn

to save herself for marriage to do it, he can finally get it on

with his step-sister. If he fails, she gets his very expensive car.

A bit skanky but kind of a classic nonetheless!

Hope you enjoyed!

P.S. I also wanted to put the movie Shes All That, on here but my

computer is being stupid and has stopped letting me upload pictures.

It's also a very 90s movie about a guy that makes a bet with his

friends that he can turn this "nerdy" girl into a prom queen. Of course, there

are many twists to come!

P.P.S.

Now, that I'm actually writing about all these movies, I see how similar

they are!

Great Lipstick Find!

I've always wanted to try wearing lavender shaded lipstick, and I have found the perfect kind! Made by Revlon, this awesome shade is called Berry Haute. I love this lipstick because it is a pretty purple color, and it compliments my complexion very well.

Invisible Tree Houses!

I was on yahoo and saw this article on invisible treehouses. I thought it seemed so cool and odd at the same time. If your interested in reading the article click on the link! http://http//green.yahoo.com/blog/guest_bloggers/56/almost-invisible-mirrored-tree-house-built-in-sweden.html

FinalllY MY Destin Finds!!

So, I finally decided to get off my lazy butt and take pictures of my favorite finds in Destin! The summer dress below I actually found in Panama City and now that I try to recall what the name of the store is, I can't remember! All I know is that it was in this neat shopping area where the famous restaurant Margarittaville was. It was about $49.99, but totally worth the splurge, I love it!


These shoes I actually bought at home from Dillards. I was in desperate need of some new shoes and I thought these would be great and go with lots of different outfits! Not the best foot shot but oh well!

This sweater dress is obviously for fall! I thought it seemed so cute and comfy. I got it at Old Navy, on sale, for $15. I paired it with some blacks tights and my current favorite pair of heels that I got at H&M a year ago!

Hope you enjoyed the post!
