hey! did you know...

...that I love things, like a lot. And I love making lists about the things I love a lot a lot.

So0o...Inspired by a Facebook post asking "like"rs to list their X-number of obsessions, I decided to make a list of my current must-haves / obsessions, naturally.

1. Khai Khai Jewelry as worn by Man Repeller.
So insanely funky yet chic. So insanely expensive though.

2. Christian Siriano sketches.
Oh how I'd love to display these on my wall or at my desk. (Guess what? They're for sale!)

3. Anna Faris' (Faris's?) sparkly Naeem Khan pantsuit from the People's Choice Awards.
Bonus points for Chris Pratt in all black being adorable.
(Better photo of her actual ensemble here... sorry for swooning.)

4. Ellen's Oscar promo poster look. Suit & tie always wins.

5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's view on feminism.
Read his quote here.
Photo below has nothing to do with his quote, he's just incredibly good looking.
Also, you're welcome.

6. These two gorg dresses featured in January's edition of InStyle mag.
I want both. For work and for play.
(Left, Jill Stuart. Right, Rebecca Taylor.)

7. Alice + Olivia red plaid pumps. Also featured in January's InStyle.
(On saaaale! Like really on sale.)

8. Essie nail polish in "Material Girl". Super vampy/cool.
First coat goes on like crud, but trust in the second coat!
P.S. These aren't my fingers, wah.

9. Coachella lineup.
Sorry that I will not be making the trek to party with dirty hippies at Coachella this year, but it is a pretty amazing lineup they've put together. Highlights for me include: OutKast (duh.), MGMT, Pharrell, Bastille, Queens of the Stone Age, Lorde, The Head and the Heart, Arcade Fire, Beck, Motorhead, City and Colour.
I'm hoping for some of these to transfer over to the Lollapalooza lineup come August.

10. And I will leave you with some wise words from the amazing April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation:
"Time is money. Money is power. Power is pizza. Pizza is knowledge."

weekend craves: #Lolla edition

Getting stoked for the weekend?

I'm heading to Lollapalooza Friday & Saturday, and I cannot contain my excitement.

Lolla has everything I love wrapped up into one jam-packed weekend: music, fashion, food, Chicago, alcohol, and sun. Oh and did I mention music?


But let's talk fashion first. Here's what I'm craving for this upcoming incredible weekend:

1. A killer dress.  Be you. Rather wear cut off jeans and your favorite tee? DO IT. I tend to live in dresses so...

2. Sweet sunnies. I like a funky-fresh-retro pair.

3. Ear danglies. a.k.a. ear cuffs, but danglies sounds better. I just recently went on an ear cuff craze and bought like 4 different kinds. So, fingers crossed that trend stays relevant for a while.

4. Converse. Two points for addition of quirky anklet.

5. Badass lip color. I just got this color last week. It's way less vampy than the picture shows, but a little (or a lot) of vampy isn't gonna hurt.


Oh, I couldn't leave out the music, so I put together a little sample playlist of the acts I'm most looking forward to seeing. Enjoy!


peace. love. rock & roll.
