As if...

Sex. Clothes. Popularity. Whatever

At the bright young age of 9 years old I saw the film that would ultimately change my life forever. Clueless. I was a child for crying out loud but I was totally relating to Cher Horowitz, her rotating closet, knee high socks, and not wanting to participate in gym.

For Spring 2013 Wildfox created a collection that pays tribute to the film that changed so many. I cannot wait to get my hands on a few pieces. Here is the article that inspired me to write this post...

Let me tell you how obsessed I was with this movie first off, I would cut my tights into knee highs, at which point my mom gave in and just bought me knee high socks. When I couldn't find pens with the puff of feathers at the end I made them myself. Thankfully Claire's (the accessory store)  supplied me with the real deal at some point, and clips for hair with a puff of feathers and you guessed it I wore those too.

Clueless changed me in that, Cher had attitude! She wasn't some damsel in distress and was proud of it, she even criticized Tai for working the angle. She was the definition of self-centered and totally clueless but she was still popular and I wanted to be just like that. Now that I'm grown I see the fault in being self centered and clueless but the attitude part stuck with me.

Oh, but the clothes were to die for. It's kind of funny because that is so not what people were wearing in 1995, Marc Jacobs had taken over with his grunge look but as far as Beverly Hills was concerned the grunge faze only happened to the stoners who hung on the grass knoll. I mean, Cher wore an Alaia to a party in the Valley- she is the definition of "always dress nicer than you think you should"

I inhaled every minute of this movie and can quote from start to finish, and when I watch it now I cannot believe that at such a young age I was even allowed to watch this movie I mean sex, drinking, and drugs it could have been a bad influence. The only negative impact it had on me is that it made me totally obsessed with clothes and that only negatively impacts my wallet! In my mind this movie will never get old and will always be a great indication of why I turned out the way I did. So, thank you Amy Heckerling & Mona May for the brilliance that is Clueless and thank you Wildfox for such an adorable collection that pays great tribute!!

Spring clean...

I guess it's that time of the year to start considering Spring trends (sad news, we all know I am a Fall/Winter girl) but my favorite trend so far is opaque white nail polish! I have been wearing it for a while...

Seen here...

and here...

and as a party nail here...

My favorite is Essie "Blanc" but Chanel "White Satin" is another great shade and Revlon is coming out with a white called "Spirit" just in time for Spring, seen on Karlie Koss here...

(At the Donna Karan Spring 2013 show)

 It may take more than two coats to get an even and opaque manicure and be sure to apply an even amount of pressure, but the patience is so worth it!

Resolution...

We're a few days away from the New Year and as cliche as it may be the obligatory New Year's resolution blog is at hand!!

My New Year's resolution is to take up yoga!! I am going to start with beginners videos at home to learn the poses and then I'll find a great place to take come classes! Yay 2013!!

2012...

Hi pretties...2012 was a big year for yours truly and the three moments that easily made this year one of the best I've had in a while are...

Getting my first big girl, full time, will turn this into a career job. Working for Kohl's has been awesome and I have already learned so much and I can only go up from here!

My first big purchase as an adult! My new job allowed me to afford a brand new & more environmentally friendly car, in white of course! I love this stinkin' car!

Finally, moving out and moving in with the B/F. It was a huge step and one that I felt so nervous about and now it is starting to feel more like home!


2012 was a year of big change for me and to be honest it was exactly what I needed! I have high hopes for 2013, with the realization that if I want something I have to go and get it with hard work and determination. I also have high hopes for all of you that the new year brings with it lots of love & good things!

Christmas 2012...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! So far this holiday has been so much fun, spent the evening with the boy's family! Playing with his niece and the rest of the fam! We exchanged one gift last night and we're saving the other for when we're back home at the apartment (weird to say that's home but it's a good kind of weird). I was kind of a brat about ideas for me this year so when he  brought out a big blue Tiffany & Co. box I was very very curious about the contents! Needless to say I didn't wait long to pull that white ribbon and see what was inside!

 

I absolutely love this cute little bow mug and intend on using it as a vase or something, definitely too adorable to drink out of! And the box will be put to good use as well!

 

 

 

 

 

I hope everyone has a magical, warm, and joyful holiday with lots of ambition for the New Year! Until then, I'll be seeing you pretties!

Clutch...

Sick of me yet? GOOD!! I have seen this product in glossies and have always thought to myself, next time I'm at Ulta I am going to get these and try them out. Well after months and months of vowing this, it wasn't until Black Friday of all days I finally bought them. I just kept forgetting because they were never on my priority list of things to get but they just jumped out at my while waiting in line (it happens when you wait for about a half an hour). I am hooked! Every girl needs to keep these in their makeup box/bag/drawer/vanity etc AT ALL TIMES!

The Almay oil-free makeup eraser sticks! I am in love! Perfect to help you clean up a slip of the eyeliner, perfect the cat eye, or erase some smudged lipstick! If you haven't tried these yet- go out to your nearest drug store and get some! 

P.S. there is a wonderful blizzard on it's way down just in time for a white Christmas :) 

Stretch...

Hi pretties- while spending time with some of my favorite glossies (magazines for those of you who don't know) I read that wearing high heels can shorten your Achilles tendon and become very painful over time. Not wearing 4 inch heels doesn't seem to be a very likely solution for yours truly so I've started stretching my tendon while sitting. It really only works when sitting at a short table where you can put your legs straight and the back of your high heel (or stiletto)  on the floor- if you've been wearing the shoes for a few hours you can actually feel the stretch! So word to the closer to heaven wise- make sure to stretch out the Achilles or pay for it (along with the rest of the ailments that high heels can bring) later!!

<case in point>
