Coolest Celebrity Couple Ever?

American Vogue June 2010

I know, I'm kinda late on this but it deserves obsession from my part.  This couple is just too awesome.  Not only is Jack White the best contemporary musician, but his wife Karen Elson is one of the coolest models ever.  I love that they finally decided to be photographed together like this, it was about time.  Her hair is also totally amazing!!! I've been wanting to dye it that same exact hue for two years now, but I'm a bit scared it might turn copper like last time I did.  It wasn't that cute let me tell ya!

Sweet Music

When I first heard "California Gurls," it was on MTV and it was the music video.  I thought: what the hell, Snoop is supposed to be a gangsta...I watched it again today and I think the whole thing is pretty tight.  I don't really know Katy Perry's music and even though the song is pop as hell, it's definitely cute and I can't hate on that.  

Awesome things about the song: it's about California girls and Snoop is in it.  Loving the video because: of the Candy Land theme, the colorful wigs Katy and the ladies wear, their glittery eye makeup, and then there's the cupcakes, lollipops, gummy bears, cotton candy and other sugary treats.  The whole video is really a little girls dream come true!

Favorite Snoop quote, "I love the Bay just like I love L.A."

Girl With Green Eyes and Miu Miu Rocks

TCM is da shit, seriously.  The other day I happened to catch Girl With Green Eyes.  The film had already started, but I decided to watch it because the main actress, Rita Tushingham has the most unique look.

The film is directed by Desmond Davis who I've never heard about.  The story is kinda sad because it's about Rita's character Kate who falls in love with an older man, Eugene played by the actor Peter Finch.  She's a girl from a village living in Dublin with her roommate.  Her youthful energy attracts Eugene and she is thrilled by his maturity, but their love doesn't really work out because the age gap becomes a problem.  I seriously wanted to cry when I saw this because I really wanted them to be in love and together, but it didn't work out in the end because they are just so different in regards to where they're at in their lives.

The film poster is kinda sad because it totally embodies how Kate feels about him.  She is totally engrossed and wants to be part of his life so badly.  Tears....

Now, for some out of control happiness: the Miu Miu 2011 Resort Collection

I've died and gone to heaven, seriously.  This collection is amazing!  It has a bit of some of my favorite things: the 40's, 70's, stripes, polka dots, cute patterns (apples), sky high platforms and super cool jewelry.  The styling is also very pretty, voluminous hair and red glossy lips are always a plus.  I also like how different patterns are mixed, I'm definitely into that right now.  

Lately I've been keeping it minimal with the accessories though, maybe it's the heat? Something about feeling super hot and having a lot of stuff on you is not really appealing at the moment.  Don't get me wrong though, I love my jewelry, especially stacking up bracelets and big earrings.  Here's a recent outfit shot, it was sorta windy that day.

Hello, Again

I'm back like a heart attack!  Hello blogsphere, it's been a minute.  Plenty has happened since I last wrote: marriage and baby!  It has been incredibly overwhelming and life changing, but wonderful and joyous at the same time.  It's totally awesome being a wife and a mother, I feel pretty special!  I don't really share details about my personal life unless you're in my tight circe of family and friends so forgive me if I digress from giving you the full scope.

There are a million things I would like to talk about and the hard part is choosing where to start...

Films.  I used to view them on a regular basis, but for some reason it's difficult to motivate myself to watch one these days. There was a period when I watched a Hitchcock film everyday and knocked out about half of his filmography.

My favorites are Marnie and The Birds.  Marnie is about a young woman who has some troubles, one of them is being distrustful of the opposite sex.  It's pretty interesting because it's very psychological, but then again you can say that about all of his films.  Marnie is also cool because it was the last film that Bernard Herman did the score for.

The Birds has the most crazed out scenario- when birds attack humans!  Honestly, it can't get better than this and the best part is that it was shot here in Northern California.  The Birds is seriously freaky, I highly recommend it.

I am totally ecstatic at the new Stanford Theater Film Schedule.  Check out how beautiful this place is...

They show classic stuff here and that means plenty of Hitchcock as well, yeeee!!!!

Update, FINALLY!

It's not my intention to be a terrible blogger, the truth is that my laptop died.  So much has happened since I last wrote: Valentine's Day, Mc Queen's death, watched a few great films- Good Heart and A Single Man.  I've also started working out on a regular basis, which has been really nice actually. 

I wish I could write a kick ass post, but I can't upload all all the photographs I've accumulated to this shitty computer and since I'm a visual gal I gotta give you a photo with a story.  Maybe I will get my laptop to work again, or perhaps get a fat tax refund and I can purchase a new one. 

Only time will tell.

Sexxy Kat Von D

I nearly creamed my pants when I saw this at the bookstore the other day.  I love this lady, she is so BEAUTIFUL and she is MEXICAN!!!  I dig her look, her tattoos are specially classic and awesome in black and grey and her hair is flawless!!!!  My favorite photo is probably the second where she is the Mother Mary pose, she looks like an angel!  I regret not ditching work a few months ago when she was at B&N in San Francisco signing autographs for a book she was promoting.  On another Kat note, has anyone tried her makeup line?  I don't own it, but I tried the tattoo concealer on my tattooless wrist and it is amazing!  I would apply it under the eyes after a night of heavy partying because it's made to hide anything!

Mostly Gold Stars at Grammy's

This year's Grammy's were a great departure from the usual garbage that is worn at this particular award show.  I don't know if you've noticed, but many artists usually opt to wear semi dressy at the verge of being casual clothes and it's no fun for someone like me who watches award shows mainly for the fashion.  I was very impressed at how beautiful and elegant most of the musicians looked like, but there were in fact two people that were dressed so miserably it hurt my retinas....

Britney Spears, in D&G

Ciara, in Givenchy Haute Couture

Damn, did they look like shit!  I wonder if Britney has gone back to the unfortunate decision of dressing herself and not hire a personal stylist.  The girl needs one 24/7 because she dresses like a hick!  I can't really recall what Ciara has chosen to wear at previous award shows, but honestly...WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING?!!!!  

Now, for some class...lovely ladies at the Grammy's...

Taylor Swift, in Kaufman Franco

Keri Hilson, in Dolce & Gabbana

Mary J. Blige, in Gucci

Karty Perry, in Zac Posen

And for my top favorite Grammy look........I am in love with this Elie Sabb Haute Couture dress!  Rihanna, who for the record I think is one of the MOST ANNOYING contemporary singers, looked GORGEOUS, CLASSY, and well put together from head to toe (I don't know what her shoes looked like because the dress was floor length, but I am going to assume they were as awesome as her dress).  I appreciate the detail of the draping, the ruffles, feathers and I really dig the sleeves (hot trend for the next season)!!

Valentine's Day Outfit

For a very special Valentine's Day this year with the most beautiful man in the world! Too bad I'm not ballin' yet, otherwise I'd be all over these ASADEI BLACK SUEDE pumps, so sexy!  Hopefully this dress fits me because I would like to have it for a very special romantic Italian dinner.  My body is changing so much, it's difficult to find clothes that don't make me look terribly fat so we'll see how this looks.  I know that if it does not work out I'll probably be able to find something else at F21, if not I will go with a back up which is a vintage black dress I own with tiny diamonds on the sleeves and cleavage (gasp)!

Snoop is WHITE!

This just made my evening, I LOVE him.

The 40's, Feathers and Big Hair

What am I loving now?  The Golden Age collection from Urban Outfitters. This is usually not my style, but I can't stop thinking about how awesome these looks are!  I think I'm just thinking about simplicity and toning it down a bit for the Spring (less black and animal prints) but mostly because I'm ready to be able to wear cute shorts like these.

I don't know who Marion Cotillard is but I am totally obsessed with the outfit she wore to the SAG Awards.  The dress is amazing, the color is hot and the feather detail at the bottom is super fun.  I've secretly been thinking about owning a dress with feathers on it because I don't really see too many gals wearing something like this aside from super fancy posh events via style.com.  Aside from Marion's great dress were the shoes!! Gawd damn they are perfect!  I love a good platform and I can't wait to be able to wear big shoes like these again!

Lastly, the Chanel Couture 2010 collection is lovely and everything that Chanel is, but the hair is da bomb!  The crazy volume is excessively perfect with the giant bow right in the middle, bam!  I don't know if I'll ever be able to duplicate this do because I am not gifted when it comes to styling my hair, but maybe I can do something similar with half of my hair up and the rest down.
