All Stars

Let me admit it. I have those mornings when I look at the clock and I fall back to sleep. Those days where I just want to sleep or I'm just too lazy to care about what I wear. I have those days when I just throw on a pair of jeans, a hoodie, and a pair of converse.

When it comes to non-athletic sneakers, converse are my favorite. :) I'm a huge fan. I have them in black, blue, and purple. (Its weird that those colors put together are the colors of bruise. Hmmmm....weird) Anyway, they're just so comfy and especially when its cold outside, I pile on about two socks and face the cold with my converse.

I love seeing celebrities with their converse and here are a couple wearing their converse with pride. Lauren Conrad (love her!), Ashlee Simpson, and Miley Cyrus. Enjoy! :D

Golden Girl

Last night I was watching Gossip Girl. I think that Blake Lively is a beautiful girl and I think she's a really great actress. (Although I really am a Blair fan) I was watching and I remembered the spread I saw in Nylon a little while ago.

She's so much fun and I loved her in Sister of the Traveling Pants. These pictures are really pretty and so I thought to share them with you guys. :D

This is kind of related but not really. Am I the only one who likes Blair and Chuck together because none of the friends I've talked to like it. I think they're perfect for each other, in a strange evil kind of way.

Sorry for the random tangent but I was just wondering. :)

P.S. I really like her jacket. :)

A Chic Holiday

As some of you might know, Elizabeth and James is one of my favorite lines. If that name sounds kind of similar you may also know it as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion line.

I know many of you just cringed. But despite what you say about the movies that they make (although personally I grew up on those movies and I loved them. I was the biggest Mary-Kate and Ashley fan growing up.) these girls have a totally unique style.

I love this brand. And even though I can't afford most of the garmets. I still like to look. :)

Anyway, the Holiday Collection has come out and here of the highlights in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm super excited. I don't feel that this Holiday collection is as strong as their Fall one but I still think that they have some really gorgeous garmets.

Fashionistas on Film

When I was younger movies and magazines were my inspiration for fashion. Well, in truth to some extent they still are. I am a lover of movies. And a lover of fashion and so it only makes sense for me to create a Fashionistas of Film post.

Legally Blonde: We all remember her spunk. Her Style. And her huge pink wardrobe. She took over Harvard Law and found the love of her life, while not losing herself. :) This is one of my all time favorite chick flicks. :D

The Devil Wears Prada: Not only is Anne Hathaway one of my favorite actresses, but her wardrobe in this movie was flawless. It was like a fantasy. :) The first time I watched it, I spent most of the movie drooling over every shoe, purse, or dress. *sigh* It was amazing.

Confessions of a Shopaholic: This movie was so funny. :) Isla was so funny as the adorable Rebecca Bloowood. She is the extreme that all shopaholics hope to never reach. But she does it with such style and spark! Her style was a little over the top sometimes but I think it adds to the film. Loved it! :)

Change is Good

Just a quick Thanksgiving update. :)

Viva La Fashion got a face lift. I think it looks more...sophisticated? Hmmm....I don't know. What do you guys think. Please be honest. After all you guys have to look at it just as often as I do. :)

What do you think of the new blog? I really mean it. Be honest! Please Share your thoughts and follow! :D

P.S. This has got to be the shortest blog I've ever written. Ok, I have to go and help my mom with the cooking. And I promise to have more fashion related blogs up. I've been slacking in that area. My bad. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Yay! :D

Turkey Day!

You knew this post was coming. I had to do it. As I looked back on this past year I realize that I've had a really great year. I mean nothing amazing happened, but nothing horrible happened either.

The year was long and at times I struggled but I eventually overcame any obstacles. I realize I have much to be thankful for. :)

This year I'm thankful for...

A healthy year for my family and friends. :) And the people who take the time to read what I have to say on this blog.

This year I'm thankful for so much. I'd like to say thank you again to all the people who are reading this. :D

Have a great Thanksgiving! Eat lots of great food!

Size Twelve Is Not Fat

This weekend, between shopping and going to see New Moon. ( I loved it). But I finished reading, Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg Cabot. Meg Cabot is the woman who wrote the Princess Diaries Series. What made me pick this up was because I adored the Princess Diaries books and movie [Anne Hathaway was brilliant] when I was in elementary school and I was feeling a bit nostalgic on that particular day.  

Within the first thirty pages I remembered why I loved those Princess Diaries books so much. Meg Cabot is incredibly funny! Humor is harder to convey through ink and paper but somehow this woman manages to make me smile or CQTM [chuckle quietly to myself]. But this book is aimed towards a more mature audience. Yes, I'm at that point in my life where I can read mature material.

Here's a brief synopsis, without being a spoiler. Its about Heather Mills, a burned out teen pop sensation, who is trying to pull her life together after her musical career has become almost non-existent and she has gained a bit of weight--she's now a size twelve. Heather decides to take a job as an assistant dorm director at a local college in NYC and this is where the drama starts.

A string of murders start to occur at the dorms and Heather finds herself becoming an amateur sleuth. [drama, right?] But while she's trying to find out why all these people are dying--and probably most importantly, who's killing them--she has to deal with her romantic feelings towards her house-mate and her obnoxious, but kid of cute, old boyfriend.

I think of Heather Mills as a modern day Nancy Drew--but funnier and more relatable. This book has humor, mystery, suspense, romance, and even more humor. The ending--and the killer--caught me off guard. I didn't even think about him. But then again, I've never really been good at mysteries no matter how many episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation I watch or how how many games of CLUE I try to win.

The pages fly by really quickly and its leaves the reader wanting more. Thankfully two sequels have already been published. Size 14 is Not Fat Either and Big Boned. I'm heading out to Borders as soon as I finish writing this to pick a copy of both.
