Buckle Up
The Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Buckle Boots are AWESOME. She makes them look damn good too with those legs that go on for days. Big bucks though at $625 a pair.
Well Suited
With the weather getting nicer by the day, the Gucci Spring 2009 RTW Collection has been on my mind. I absolutely loved the color palette of neutral colors mixed with bright colors. In addition to the gorgeous sky-high platforms, I loved the tapered suits in bright colors. My mother wore a crisp white tailored suit last week and it was gorgeous. Nothing beats a perfectly tailored suit on a woman - it is incredibly sexy.

W Magazine Ginnifer Goodwin Photos
The June 2009 issue of W Magazine has a stunning shot of Ginnifer Goodwin on the cover - she almost looks like Helena Christensen who was breathtakingly gorgeous in her hay day. Goodwin wears Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie throughout the shoot (thank you for pointing that out Dara!). The cover shot was unbelievable, but the photos inside were lacking in my opinion. She looks out of her element and unsexy.
cover shot - tremendous.
not-so-hot shot. agree?
Welcome to the Family
I picked up this amazing pair of Jil Sander Watersnake Platform Sandals at Barneys yesterday on sale! They almost feel like they have cushions inside and they are gorgeous - perfect for summer with a very rounded front. I became friends with the girl next to me and we picked out each other's shoes in the overwhelming craziness at the shoe department. I'm glad she advised me to get these exotic beauties and I hope she's enjoying the nude Fendi sandals I told her to buy!

Fiery
My best friend Dara and I were talking about red heads last night and I confessed that I kind of love red hair now. I am a blonde all the way and would never touch my hair but I totally appreciate beautiful red hair now. Am I weird? Maybe. Do I care? NOPE not really.

Kate Lanphear's Stylings
The ever so cool ELLE Style Director Kate Lanphear has done it again. She is the definition of fabulous. The '80s-inspired shoot featuring Chloe Sevigny in the June 2009 ELLE is Dynasty-esque '80s perfection. Glorious!

L.A.
I am getting so excited for my trip to L.A. with my best friend Dara. I'm most excited about just hanging out with my soul mate, laying in the sun, going to the beach, and taking pictures. You better believe I'm going to make Dara pose just like Daria Werbowy in this Chanel 2006 Spring/Summer campaign. Can't WAIT!

CO-OP Barneys New York
I usually don't even look through the CO-OP shoe department at Barneys - I go to the main shoe department which sends me into a downward spiral of spending. I think I've been missing out. I received an email about a private sale going on and was just looking through the marked down items in CO-OP when I came across a pair of black studded knee boots (reminiscent of the Chloe studded boots) on sale and a pair of slingback mules that I am thinking of buying in taupe. They are so cute - I love the little studs on both these shoes they are edgy are still very feminine.
CO-OP Barneys Studded Calf Knee Boot in Black
Original Price $1,195
Sale Price $719
CO-OP Barneys Slingback Mule in Taupe (also available in black)
$495
Passion Pit
My friend told me to check out the band Passion Pit a few days ago. Basically this band has won me over totally. They released their new album "Manners" yesterday, May 19, and I just can't stop listening. It makes me want to do cartwheels. It is auditory percocet. While the video below isn't an actual music video, it's my favorite song right now. Take a listen and get happy.

Lanvin
I snagged these Lanvin marine blue peep-toe platforms today for a fraction of the retail price at the Decadestwo pop-up shop at Kiki de Montparnasse! The pictures don't do these babies justice - the color pops in person. Original retail price is $978. I paid $283. Beat THAT!

My "If You Were Stranded On A Desert Island" Products
LOST is my favorite television drama of all time, hands down. My best friend Dara and I have a Wednesday night LOST ritual and I have been out of the loop the last two weeks because I had my wisdom teeth removed. Ouch. I am behind and can't wait to watch the end of this season asap!
I was trying to decide if I was on the island with the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 what products I couldn't live without. Or if I was a cast member what I would need with me on set in Hawaii. I would need to look good to have Josh Holloway leave his pregnant wife for me. Now THAT'S my fantasy island right there. (Yeah, I've been reallllly bored). I couldn't narrow these last 15! The winners are:
From Left to Right
1. YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara in Black
2. Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour in St. Germain - I have a slight obsession with mermaids and if I'm on shipwrecked (or planewrecked I should say) on a tropical island I am going to be making the best of it and wearing this mermaid-green eye shadow!
3. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads - My favorite cleansing product for years.
4. YSL Golden Gloss - Sparkly, silky, pretty.
5. Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub - My favorite face soap and the smell is de-LISH.
6. La Mer Baume De La Mer - Dara my makeup expert brought this amazing lip balm to my attention years ago in Florida and if I didn't have it the past week I would not have been a happy camper. Best lip balm ever.
7. YSL 3 in 1 Cleansing Water Radiance Revealer - I love my eye makeup, and this is a very gentle, great-smelling eye makeup remover that does not burn my sensitive eyes.
8. Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Hold Hairspray - Best hairspray I have ever used. Natural hold without stickiness, and it smells amazing. I would definitely need this to tame my wavy hair.
9. Bobbi Brown Beach Body Oil - The exact smell of Coppertone suntan lotion. One of my favorite scents of all time. It reminds me of being a kid at the beach.
10. NARS Bronzer in Laguna - Another favorite thanks to Dara :)
11. MAC Eye Kohl Pencil in Tarnish (Black/Green) - Favorite eyeliner I wear everyday.
12. Chanel Little Makeup Brush
13. L'Occitane Cleansing and Soothing Shower Oil - Made with almond oil, it smells amazing and is very moisturizing. I use this as body wash in the summer.
14. Kiehl's "Coconut" Body Lotion - Yummy.
15. Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 - Very important to wear SPF everyday. I am a sun worshiper, however I am blonde and fair-skinned and feel a little better using a lightweight moisturizer that has an SPF.

Grey's Anatomy
I am a mush, and I cry from television. I also think that reality tv is real and get way too involved in vh1 shows such as Rock of Love. I'll admit it. I love tv. I'm really sad about the Grey's Anatomy finale tonight, so I decided to put up a hopeful clip from my favorite part of this season.
Tell the people you love that you love them, smile, and live everyday with excitement and happiness. Don't forget to laugh and appreciate the little things in life.

Almond and Coconut and Milk, OH MY!
I take a bath every day, and I am what my mother refers to as a "product queen." Every product I see that's new or smells good I need to take for a test run! I love summery, warm smells such as vanilla, coconut and almond, and a lot of the products I use daily, be it perfume, lotion, or bath products, are in the previously mentioned scents.
I have used many many scrubs and I have found my favorite: Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Scrub! It is the most effective scrub I have ever used, and contains natural sugar crystals, almond and coconut shells, and vitamin A and E oils. This scrub is not only a pleasure to use, it is good for you! My best friend Dara would absolutely love this scrub! I'm pretty sure this product was invented for us!
Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Scrub, $46

Jewelry for Your Shoes
You love your shoes...why not buy them some bling? This was the exact thought process that I had while looking on the LITTER website, a jewelry line started this year by two sisters who transform nicknacks they come across into one-of-a-kind pieces, including head jewelry, body jewelry, and shoe jewelry. I just HAD to order this pair below. They will spice up and personalize a plain pair of black booties or black pumps wonderfully. I can't wait to wear them!
"Crypt Walk" Shoe Jewelry, $80
