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."

doing it right: star street style

While Ms. Theron was out gallivanting with Sean Penn and picking up sbux, I couldn't help but die over her killer street style and even more noticeably, that crazy/sexy/cool hair flip/curl thing. 

As a gal who chopped off all her locks in lieu of Charlize's amazing Oscar 'do circa February of '13, and as a gal who is currently playing with growing it out a bit (as it seems Ms. Theron is, too), this simple roller or curling iron trick is definitely going in my limited hairstyle tool kit. #pixieproblems

Honorable mention of the week: Reese Witherspoon and her pink sweater. Really I just love everything about her and her street style is always im-pec-uh-ble. Also, um, the way she is wearing that solid gold cuff is insanely genius and of course it fits just right over her sweater. Plus one for her wardrobe staple Reed Krakoff bag.

Why I love them both: menswear. I will probably be rocking a plaid button down + sweater tomorrow, and when my hair grows out again I'll finally be able to wear my fedora a little better. Also, wayfarers. Always wayfarers.
