When Elizabeth Met James

If in case you didn't know, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are child stars turned wildly respected fashion designers. Their line, Elizabeth and James, is my favorite although the do have a price-r line called, The Row and a teen line for JCPenny called Olsenboye.

Kim Kardashian is a huge fan of Elizabeth and James. So are Hayden Panettiere and Lauren Conrad and really, countless celebrities. :) I'm a bit nostaligc because I grew up on Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, books, and clothing. Yes, I shopped at Wal-Mart as a child.

Enjoy Mary-Kate and Ashley's genius. Please, tell me what you think in the comments below.

Cameron is the tom-girl with style. She works with Rachel Zoe, from Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project. Adore that show to pieces. But I was a fan long before RZP. She's confident--the one thing that takes any outift to the next level--and she has great legs. Let's be honest!

Hayden has definately grown up from the little girl in Remember the Titans. But now that she's legal, she has great tatse in clothing. This particular Elizabeth and James dress gives me a 70's feel. The sleeves are fantastic. Especially when combined with that short hem and brilliant pastel color.

Lauren Conrad in an Elizabeth and James draped skirt and Louboutins. Kristin Cavallari in a Elizabeth and James top with Paige Denim jeans.

Lauren looks stunning. But this is what Elizabeth and James is known for. They are known for their basic pieces. They're pieces that you will have in your closet forever. Lauren knows all about basic pieces. She has a classic style with a twist and is currently on two covers at the same time--Cosmo and Teen Vogue. 

Wow. I just realized that I put Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari in the same post. Both were the leading lady of The Hills but one is clearly more successful than the other. Are you going to make me say which one? :) But Kristin's style is more va-va-voom. She likes to be sexy--note the low neckline. 

All of these women: Lauren, Kristin, Hayden, and Cameron all have such different styles but Elizabeth and James make pieces that every girl can incorporate into their closet. :) 

Trivia Question: Why did Mary-Kate and Ashley name their line Elizabeth and James? Think you know the answer? Comment below. Bye. See you tomorrow or sometime soon. Peace! 

Tighter Than Tight

Fall is officially here. Well, its been here for a while but I felt like saying it again. Why do you ask? Well, I'm not quite sure but it felt like a good intro. Was if? On a scale of one to ten where did it land? [sorry. i'm asking too many questions in the intro. jeez. same some for later.]

And I'm a HUGE fan of tights. They make it easier to wear skirts/dresses in the fall. My favorite season, btw.

Whether they're sheer like Frida Pinto's or Rachel Bilson's, it doesn't matter. :) I guess Frida wanted her top and bottom to be cohesive. Heidi and Tim would be so proud. But all joking aside she looks really put together after a long flight. How do celebrities do that? I'm in sweats on a plane because my parents always book the red eyes to save money.

Yes. I took a red eye to Florida. It sucked or at least I think it will because I'm pre-writing this. But when does getting up at four in the morning not suck? Answer: never. :) And Rachel's top is adorable. I want it!

Brooklyn Decker and Mary-Kate Olsen prove that black tights paired with black heels give the illusion of a taller figure. :) Both women are lovely and I must admit that I'm a total Mary-Kate fan. I grew up watching her videos and I've always been a supporter of her.

And both of these women also prove that tights are for winter. Especially if you wear ice skating tights under your sheer black ones. The skater tights are very thick and are designed to keep you warm, that way its comfortable for you to look absolutely stunning but honestly the skating tights work wonders. :) I have at least three pairs.

This post is relatively short. Key word there is relative. I know that I tend to ramble and this makes people will skim my posts instead of reading them. Oh, well. :) I just love writing and once my fingers are flying across my keyboard, there is no stopping them! Um. Bye. :)

Nothing Comes Close to the Gloden Coast

What is my wardrobe sorely missing? A fringe jacket. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have forced me to come to this realization. I saw these pictures of them sporting this stunning black fringe jacket and I just knew that I needed one just like it. :)

Mary-Kate Olsen

Ashley Olsen

I'm also in love with Ashley's shoes. They look like their studded. Adorable. I'm all about the details. :) But back to the topic at hand. I neeeeed a fringed jacket. Wait, come to think of it I don't think I own anything that is in anyway fringed. Jeez! Where have I been? :) Don't worry I'm going shopping this weekend and I plan to pick something up.

Sigh. But I don't know if I could pull off a fringe jacket. Hmmm....I don't know. :) Comment below if you think that I could pull off this look. Please be honest. My feelings won't be hurt. I'll just be forced to admire from afar.

I don't really have anything to talk about so this will be a little random. And hopefully interesting. But bear with me.

School has finally come to an end! Thank goodness. I am just so burned out. But I promised myself I would try to complain less and try to stay a little more positive. So I'm going to talk about some songs that I've been loving. I don't know what it is but I've been obsessed with Katy Perry lately.

California Gurls and If We Ever Meet Again. Oh my gosh! These are the best summer songs ever! Katy is so fun and I love the fact that this girl doesn't take herself too seriously. I mean, did anyone see her blue hair at the MTV Movie Awards? So amazing. I loved it.

Has the music video for California Gurls come out yet? I know that I looked for it a last week but I'm too lazy to look right now. And as soon as I post this I will not be able to resist and I'll head over to YouTube. :) I saw the sneak peak and I'm really excited. :)

 But oh! Speaking of music videos: Has anyone seen Lady Gaga's music video for Alejandro? Suuper awkward. But I mean, I kind of expect it. It is Lady Gaga. I think it would almost be weirder if she just put out a normal music video. One with no men in fishnets and high heels. But that's probably just me. :) But I still love her music. <3 Bad Romance!

Anyway, I know that this was totally random. I had no idea what I was going to write about when I sat down but I think it turned out pretty decent. It's like the In-Class write that you don't prepare for but get a 'B' on it. It's not an 'A' but you'll take it. :)

I'm planning a Victoria Secret Fragrances Lust List. My sister and I went to their store this past weekend and I literally wanted everything in the store. VS PINK is a girl's best friend. Who needs diamonds when they have a Victoria Secrets gift card? :)

Bye guys! Please Follow me! :)

Living in Hong Kong

Time to be a little exotic. I know the Hong Kong Collection by OPI has been out for a while but I thought I'd still write about my opinions. I'm just sitting here eating some cuties and I couldn't think of anything to write about. So here it goes...

Jade Is the New Black

This one--by far--is the most unique one from the collection. Its this really beautiful jade color. Well, obviously because that's the title of the polish. Duh. :) But I truly think that the color is so pretty. I want to keep it on my nails at all time. Really, really do.

Suzy Says Feng Shui

From just looking at the bottle, it kind of reminds me of the color of Alice;s (from Alice in Wonderland) dress. Doesn't it? I don't know. When I first saw it, I thought that it was a pretty color but I didn't know if I would want that color on my nails, you know? Its an Alice blue. But for some reason I don't know why. I don't like the color of this color on my nails but on my sister's nails its sooo pretty. It's weird, I know. Has that ever happened to anyone. Maybe I should just try it on again.

Dim Sum Plum

How cute is that name? Dim Sum Plum. Hahaha. Reminds me of Janet Evanovich books. Because the main characters name is Stephanie Plum. I don't know. I read one of her books and I laughed sooo hard. :) But back to Dim Sum Plum. Its a pretty color. But maybe I'm biased because purple is my favorite color. Almost anything purple I love. So maybe you shouldn't listen to me. :)

I know there were like nine other colors in the collection but none of them really stood out. Other than Meet Me on the Star Ferry, I really want that one but I don't want to talk about it without actually having it in my posession, you know. I can't really talk about it but it looks really pretty.

Pearl of Wisdom is pretty but there's nothing special about it. Its just a white color. Why spend so much money on an un-special white color? I don't know. Personally I wouldn't. But I really do love white nails. They're so chic.

I also wear black nails when I'm lazy. But I make sure my dad doesn't see. He thinks that I'm turning Emo or something. But doesn't Mary-Kate look stunning with her dark nails? Love her. And I love Harper's Bazaar. A match made in Viva La Fashion Heaven!

Anway. These were just my thoughts. Write in the comments what you think. :D I'd love to hear your thoughts.

How To: Be Pretty in Pink

Tomorrow I'm off on a school field trip. I can't tell you how long its been since I've been on one of those. :) Elementary school, I think. Maybe Junior High. I can't really remember...

I, of course, procrastinated and am leaving all of my homework that is due on Monday for me to do on the two hour bus drive there and back. Four hours on a bus filled with smelly, sometimes obnoxious high schoolers. Jealous?

Hahaha. :) No, really I think I'm going to have tons of fun. Just wait. So exciting...I think I'll have problems sleeping tonight.

Here are some ladies rocking hot pink! :D

Hot pink is so...hot. :) Pun intended. But I think that neon pink is a great way to make an outfit stand out. There are just some days when I want to stand out! :)

Right now I'm trying not to laugh too hard. My sister has intorudced my mom to Miley Cyrus' music and right she (my mom) is singing The Climb at the top of her lungs. :) Hahaha. I think we've discovered why neither my or my sister have any vocal talent. I love you, Mommy! You know I'm only being silly. :)

 Please, please, please comment! I need serious help with the college issue. Which one should I go to? Its such a huge decision! Yikes. :/

A Chic Holiday

As some of you might know, Elizabeth and James is one of my favorite lines. If that name sounds kind of similar you may also know it as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion line.

I know many of you just cringed. But despite what you say about the movies that they make (although personally I grew up on those movies and I loved them. I was the biggest Mary-Kate and Ashley fan growing up.) these girls have a totally unique style.

I love this brand. And even though I can't afford most of the garmets. I still like to look. :)

Anyway, the Holiday Collection has come out and here of the highlights in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm super excited. I don't feel that this Holiday collection is as strong as their Fall one but I still think that they have some really gorgeous garmets.

What are you favorite designers? Please Comment and Follow! :D

Elizabeth & James

Since my first blog today was more of an introduction than a blog. I want to give you guys a taste of what a normal day on my blog will be like. I still don't know what my voice will be, after all this is only my 2nd blog, but I'm going to make sure its super relatable.

The summer is coming to an end and that means Fall Collections are coming out. Yeah! :D I just saw Elizabeth & James' new Fall Collection (click here to see for yourself) & I must say I'm in love! Its a lot more conservative, color wise than their summer collection. But thats how most fall collections seem to be. After all summer is fun in the sun while fall is more work oriented clothes. And it gets colder so more layers are also seen.

But this collection is great for any girl who needs basic jackets, dresses, shirts that will stay in their closets forver. And I mean forever. (And whenever you're buying pricey designer pieces make sure that it will be something that will last forever) These pieces are made up of greys, blacks, whites. All great basic colors to go with any flamboyant pieces you bought last season.

My favorites (even though I could never afford them) are the Degas dress, Marissa top, & New CPO Jacket. I don't know why I torture myself & let myself look at all the stuff I could never afford. But I do. :) Fashion desginers are my guilty pleasure. I love Burberry, Juicy Couture, & Alice + Olivia. They're way out of my price range but I still enjoy looking.

What do you think about the collection? & what desginers are you totally obsessed with?
