Summer With Alice and Olivia

I just got done seeing the previews for The Last Song and I find myself longing for the summer. I long to hear the waves crashing on the beach with the sun's warmth on my back. I want to feel the sand between my toes. Sigh. I cearly don't live by the beach. Plus its so cold where I live, even if there was a beach no one would go swiming anway.

Or at least no sane people would. Well, my longing for summer has transformed into a lusting for Alice + Olivia's summer-y dresses.  They're adorable and if one pairs them with cute tights and a jacket/cardigan they could be put to use during the Winter/Spring.

When will summer get here? Ugh! I just want the school year to end.

It seems like I've been super thristy all day. I mean no matter how many liquids I consume I'm still like super thristy. Its really weird and I don't know whats going on. Hmmm....I don't know.

On a somber note I'd just like to say RIP Lee Alexander McQueen. You were a force in the fashion world and will be missed.

 

Bye ladies.

Review: Dear John

This weekend I went to go see Dear John. I was sooo excited. I went with my friends May, Maggie, Jenny, and Maddy. I just noticed writing all of their names in a row that I have a lot of friends with 'M' names. Hmmm...weird. :)

Maybe my epectations were unnaturally high but I was disappointed. In the follwing post I may unintentionally write a few spoilers, so I'm going to say it now. These are just my thoughts about the movie. SPOILER ALERT!

If you haven't seen the movie and don't want to know what happens...just don't read any further. Anywho, the trailer, in my opinion, was amazing. They used music to their advantage and this may sound weird...but I got goosebumps one time when I was watching it. I'm still in love with the song, 'Fire to the Third Bar'. Its just so pretty.

But at the movies I was literally quoting the movie with my friend Maggie. It was super funny. Or at least we thought it was. But then the movie came on and I thought there was jsut too much going on. First, there was coins, autism, cancer, love, heartbreak, the military, father-son relations, and it was just too much!

There was this weird part when a movie montage went straight into Amanda's character playing guitar and singing. If you've seen the movie then you probably know what I'm talking about. It was a awkward transition to say the least.

Lastly, what great love story ends in a hug? I don't know. And I was not expecting her to marry Tim. Tim? I didn't see that one coming.

Okay, my rant is over. These are just my opinions and I don't claim to be a movie expert. This was just my thoughts. I really liked the people who played the main characters though. They were really great! I'm not just an annoying blogger who has nothing nice to say. :)

The music from the soundtrack was really great. :) And the setting was stunning! I loved the movie up until the point when John went abroad for the second time. Sigh, I think I just kept comparing Dear John to The Notebook.

Anyway, just finished running. Super tired. I'm currently watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. This show is hilarious. XD

My mom says that Bruce reminds her of my dad and my sister is just like Khloe. Our life isn't as exciting as theirs but we're funny. At least I think so. :) I'm going to go read Dear John or The Last Song. I haven't decided which one I'll read though.

Peace Out! Please Comment and Follow! :D

Movie in the Making

How well do you know Lauren Conrad? For about a year I was an avid fan of The Hills. It was my favorite reality TV show. Well, until I discovered the amazing-ness of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Oh, those girls are so funny. :)

Anyway, Lauren Conrad is the covergirl for Seventeen Magazine's March issue. She has amazing style and if you've been reading my blog for any length of time you'll know that I simply adore the clothes in her closet. :)

(I need to stop putting smiley faces at the end of every sentence!) :)

Okay, so today I'm a little bored. But I don't have the energy to do anything but sit on my bed and surf the net. I'm exhausted. Note to everyone: running when you're are sick is not a good idea. Thanks a lot Ms. J. She was my tenth grade aerobics teacher and she told me that when you sick and you exercise a ton it sweats the sick out of you.

Well, lets jsut say it doesn't. I thought her statement was weird but I figured I'd give it a shot and I'd also promised my friend May I'd go running with her. Let's just say we didn't get very far before I had to stop or else I'd have knelt down and died.

Here's a clip of Lauren Conrad playing Two Truths and a Lie. It was so cute that I had to give you guys a link to it. I really enjoyed watching it.

Anway in the link she said that her book, L.A. Candy, was being turned into a movie! How exciting is that? I haven't read the book but I'm still excited. She also talked about her new book  Sweet Little Lies. I'm going to borders this weekend to pick it up.

At the same time I'm going to pick up another book,  Brave New World, because of course two days after I place an order for school books, my english teacher assigns a book project.

Yuck! :(   <---Can you tell I'm not happy?

Check out the link and have a great day! Four day weekend is coming up!! yay! :) Isn't it sad that its still the weekend and I'm already waiting for the next weekend to come around? Sad, I know. :)

Little Girl Grown Up

Abigail Breslin was recently interviewed by Luke Crisell for Nylon Magazine. Have I mention that I absolutely love this magazine? Anway, you can read part of the interview on the website or you can read the full interview in the February issue of Nylon.

Abigail looks so grown up! I mean its hard to believe that she's the same little girl from Raising Helen and No Reservations. Its also really hard to believe that at the age of thirteen she's already appeared 18 movies and countless TV shows.

Here are some pictures from her interview.

This just reminds me that time is passing by so quickly. It won't be long before Ms. Breslin is the leading star of a romantic comedy or action movie. She's growing up so quickly but then again, aren't we all?

Book Haul

This shopping spree started out with pure intentions. I had planned on only buying books for school but then I saw other books and...well, I folded and I asked my mom for them.

Well, let's start with the books I bought for school:

Cracking the AP: United States History Exam. Looks fun, right? Hahaha. Well, the AP exams are in May and I'm already forgetting all the stuff I learned in September and even in December. We did our Mock 80 and I realized that I knew nothing. Nothing! Let's just say I was a little nervous. :)

Hard Times. Again, this book is for my APUSH class. This class' workload is insane but a apart of me likes it. I mean, I find history fascinating. And I really like learning all of these things. I don't know. :) I guess I'm just a history nerd. But Mr. H said if we read a outside class history-related book and wrote a report we got extra credit. Hey, I have to raise my grade somehow.

Dear John. Finally, books that I might enjoy reading. Most of you might know that I am so excited to see this movie. :) I still haven't decided if I want to read the book before of after. It looks so sad and my friend has already read it and she blew through this book very quickly. I hope its as good as I think it'll be.

The Last Song. This is a book that will be made into a movie. I know I sound like a broken machine but I'm so excited. I loved the Notebook and A Walk To Remember. Nicholas Sparks is amazing. I know that someone will die, I prepared for it. And sometimes I just need a good cry. His books are the ones I turn to.

L.A. Candy. I love Lauren Conrad's style and she was amazing on the hills. I know this book has been out for so long but I just haven't gotten around to reading it or even buying it. I've heard good things and I hope her writing ability is as good or better than her ability to put together an amazing style. :) Her new book came out this month and so if I like this one I will definately check out Sweet Little Lies.

Ok, I know this post wasn't what most people expecting but I'm an avid reader. I mean I spent all winter break just reading book after book. It was a nice change of pace from my hectic school schedule. Weird. I know.

Anyways, if you've read any of these books tell me what you thought. Please Comment and Follow! :D

Engineer Boots

Lately Miley Cyrus has been seen around wearing these adrobale Frye Engineer Boots. They seem to add a hard edge to any outfit and Miley makes them work whether she's wearing jeans and leather jacket or a simple black dress with funky tights.

Did I mention that I really like her tights? And her faux fur Michael Kors vest? Simply stunning!

In London. Wearing Frye Engineer Boots, Roberto Cavalli Tiresia Cunglasses, Gucci Icon Bit Medium Boston Bag, Michael by Michael Kors Faux Coyote Fur Vest, Citizens of Humanity Shredded Skinny Stretch Jeans.

In New York on Sex & the City Set. Wearing Frye Engineer Boots, American Apparel Cresent Pattern Fishnets, Jimmy Choo Marina Messegner Bag, Unknown Leather Jacket and Black Dress.

Heading to her Hotel in Backpool. Wearing Frye Engineer Boots, Stoney Clover Lane Luck & Love Bracelets, Topshop Leopard Print Faux Fur coat, Giorgio Armani Calf-Chevron Print Tote.

Out in Paris. Wearing Frye Engineer Boots, Roberto Cavalli Tiresia Sunglasses, Giorgio
Armani Calf-Chevron Print Tote, and Doma Cropped Washed Leather Biker Jacket.

Anyway, I was so obsessed with these boots I went online and I tried to find them. And I did! Oh, I was so excited. They're $188 dollars and that's a lot of money. The only way I can get them would be if I saved up my birthday money. Which is about five months away.

I was so bummed! But oh, well. If I don't love them in five months, they probably weren't worth the money anyway. Here's a link to the Frye website and the Frye Engineer Boots in Black.

Apparently this brand was featured in O magazine. So they must be a reputable brand. I mean Oprah doesn't put just anyone in her magazine. :)

Vamp It Up

It's finally here! The Vampire Diaries is starting to show new episodes! Yay! Wow, I'm using a lot of exclamation points here...I think I'll stop. Anywho, last Thursday was the premeire of the newest episode.

I didn't get to watch it because I was studying for my APUSH test on Friday. Yuck!

But I'm going to watch it online at CW.com as soon as I get the chance. Oh, I'm so excited. Well, in the latest issue of Nylon the stars of Vampire Diaries are on the cover. Here's a look at some of the photos from their shoot. Enjoy! :)

At first I didn't think either guy was that cute but now...I think they're starting to grow on me. :) I just started reading the book and its completely different than the show. In the book she's a blonde. Weird....I know. :)

Vampire Diaries airs on Thrusdays at 9 Pm on CW TV. :)
