Currently Obsessed With...

Leopard Print Accents: I know I know, your ears are absolutely exhausted of my constant reiteration of my love for all things spotted but when I saw this necklace on Shop Bop I knew it was something worth blogging about. I love how this necklace uses beading and fabric!

Louise Roe: Ms. Roe first caught my eye when she appeared last season in The City. Her charming British accent and spectacular taste was a threat that even Olivia Palermo could not ignore. Every Wednesday at 10pm, I tune into the CW to watch Louise Roe's show Plain Jane, a more current take on What Not To Wear, Ms. Roe helps shy girls gain the confidence and the style to confront their crushes. Absolutely adorable!

Joie: I first spotted this line at Nordstrom and was instantly obsessed. This brand prides itself on their luxurious clothes designed with a laid-back Californian aesthetic. I love their knitted drapey sweaters, silk tops, and floral and aztec patterns.

Ashley Greene in Women's Health July/August 2010: I know Women's Health isn't a fashion publication but I was really impressed how they styled Ashley Greene for their spread and interview. I love how they paired this typically girly dress with cowboy boots, a messy bun, and dangly earrings, the overall look is very boho chic. Kellan Lutz isn't hard on the eyes either!

Patrizia Pepe: I first heard about this collection/ad campaign at The Trendy Fashionista and fell madly in love. Ms. Pepe's collection was styled fabulously, using props to hide the models face making the clothing a focal point. Check out The Trendy Fashionista to see more of the campaign!

"Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry: As a self-proclaimed "groupie" I love going to concerts and finding new songs to incorporate into my iTunes library. Right now I've got Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" on repeat. I love how fun and catchy this song is, it definitely makes me appreciate being a teen. If you are as much of a music lover as I am check out This Song Is Sick. The guy who started this site has a knack for finding up and comers in the music industry, and a lot of the downloads are free!

What are you guys currently obsessing over?

Trend to Try: Shorts in Fall

As I have said previously, new clothing seasons are a chance to make wardrobe resolutions. Like most resolutions, we promise to cut back on our recklessness (in spending) and invest pieces worth our time, while still promising to be youthful and take (style) risks. One of my resolutions for this fall is to try wearing shorts in fall. I have seen photos of models sporting this adorable trend without any confidence to try it on my own. However this fall I will be rocking a slouchy pair of shorts complete with ankle boots, tights/over the knee socks, a loose tank, and a draped open sweater.

What trend will you guys be braving this fall?

Tooted & Booted.

Regarding my post title, the later is more accurate. I just got these cute black ankle boots from Ross the other day and I'm beyond excited. To go with these bad boys I bought an adorable pair of floral lace tights from Charlotte Russe. I'm already dreaming of days on campus wear I rock these boots and lace leggings with a floral dress and slouchy cardigan. Another bonus? I get to cross of black boots and lace tights from my fall wishlist. Four down, seven to go!

On a more personal note, tomorrow I'm attending an A's baseball game. I'm so excited to be amongst a cheering fans and my friends. I heard it gets super chilly at the colloseum so I'm going to be toting some of my new fall purchases. Hopefully I have pictures for you guys!

September Issues.

August is the month of reinvention and planning. There is no better month to scour our closets and rid ourselves of the unnecessary and unwearable. To me, August is like New Years Eve, a chance to redeem yourself for the past year and make new resolutions. Fashion-wise of course. So you can only imagine my eagerness as the September issues of magazines hit the stands and I am finally able to basque in the glow of everything that is fall fashion.

So which September Issues will you guys be buying and what "new year" resolutions will you be making for your fall wardrobes?

It's All For You.

Hey you guys! I just wanted to do a quick post welcoming all of my new followers! When I started this blog around six weeks ago, I did not expect such a positive turn out. But I'm sooo glad and I appreciate every single one of you. This is why I want the next post to be about something that you all care about or want to see in my blog. If you want to see an outfit of the day, tell me! If you want to know what you should get for back to school, some of you may be going to college, you got it! I'll do a post on whatever topic I hear the most about. So I'm going to open my Formspring! up to you for your questions. Hope you guys are enjoying your August and the arrival of your September issues!

P.S. Don't forgot to check out this fab interview CG Blogger did with me. Right now on her blog she's been interviewing fashion bloggers about their styles/fave trends. She does an amazing job. So check her out!

Who Loves UO Shorts?

HC loves UO shorts! Aren't these the most adorable shorts you have ever seen? Glad you think so! As of 2:30pm today, they are all mine for only $10 at Urban Outfitters. I've already begun trying these babies on with cropped tops, military buttons downs, and pocketed tanks. The slouchy fit and lightweight material is just perfect for summer; but the style is so versatile that I could wear into fall. I think I'm in love!

Spotted!

As I have made excessively clear, I am completely in love with leopard and cheetah prints. There's something that is just so luxe and glamorous about these prints that at the subtlest hint of this print in an outfit, transforms a girl altogether. Whether you're are grungy chic or girly glam, you can rock the spots with the best of them. Check out who's been spotted in spots!
