Killing Time....

So, per usual, I wake up wayyyyyy too early for school and end up sitting around killing time! I have always wanted a record player and I found this one on http://fredflare.com/ I just think it'd be so much fun to play all my parents old records and buy used ones! Say what you want about itunes and iPods, there's just something completely classic about the record player!



I don't wear headbands as much as I use to, but as far as headbands go, the one below is pretty cute! Also from, http://fredflare.com/

Ok, wish me luck on my first day!!!!

Fruity Deserts!

My friend and I made this delicious apple crumble once and it was sooooooooo good and I'm craving it right now. The picture is obviously apple pie but apple pie just looks prettier in pictures than apple crumble does!

Interesting Website (trixie)

I am obsessed with America's Next Top Model, and one of my favorite parts of the show is when models receive special prizes for winning contests. On one episode, the reward was a gift certificate to bluefly.com. I had never heard of this website, so I checked it out after the show was over. I found out that bluefly is a website where people can by designer apparel and accessories at discounted prices. This sounds great at first, but I discovered that the merchandise on bluefly is still very expensive. While I don't plan on regularly buying from bluefly, I still browse for fun. I like the dresses the best so here are several of my favorites.

1. Designer: Chaiken, Original Price: $326.00, Discounted Price: $139.99
2. Designer: Marc By Marc Jacobs, Original Price: $298.00, Discounted Price: $152.15 (Lea Michele wore this on Glee!)
3. Designer: Alice & Olivia, Original Price: $484.00, Discounted Price: $245.65 (I think this would make a pretty homecoming dress)
4. Designer: Nicole Miller, Original Price: $310.00, Discounted Price $186.00 (another homecoming-worthy dress)
5. Designer: Wyatt, Original Price: $125.00, Discounted Price: 74.80
6. Designer: Marc Bouwer GlamIt! Original Price: $495.00, Discounted Price: $297.00 (homecoming worthy)
7. Designer: Marc Bouwer GlamIt!, Original Price: $495.00, Discounted Price: $287.00 (I would totally wear this to prom b/c it's simple and almost Grecian in appearance)

Seriously?

Is this really a trend?

One that needed its own book?????

Just couldn't resist doing a post on this!

Random Fashion Finds! (trixie)

One of my favorite past-times is something I like to call Internet window shopping. This is where I browse the online merchandise of my favorite stores such as Forever 21. Recently while Internet window shopping, two items from Anthropologie and Delia's caught my eye. (The shirt is on sale at Anthro., and the bag is from Delia's.)

I would buy this top because it is very sweet and feminine. I also love anything with lace detail. I don't buy purses that often, but I thought this "Mexican blanket" bag was very interesting. I like the colorful design and its many side pockets.

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!
