Favorites Lately - End of January

Volcom Diner Dot Bikini - I love the high waisted suits this year

Brassica Salt and Pepper Shakers from Anthropologie - adorable.

Horizon Necklace - Banana Republic - Statement Necklace...yes please.

This room isn't exactly finished, but I love the bedframe and mirror. Ahh I just want to decorate.

Striped Terry Sweatshirt T - Gap - looks so comfy

Rununculus Swirl Shade - Anthropologie - I need this.

East Village T-Strap - See By Chloe - I love these for spring. Yellow might just be my favorite color this spring...or coral...could be a tie.

I want to learn how to do this for a party so bad. I love it.

Polka Dot Shirt Dress - Tibi - I think this dress is so cute. Work attire? My legs for sure are not that long so it wouldn't be too short :)

I have no idea who makes this and it makes me sad, because I love this. I just know it's from Etsy. Let the search begin.

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Listen...please. Love.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

Kind of a weird video, but I'm loving this song right now.

Stole it from my friend Jen :)

Sway

Sway

~The Perishers~

I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna make you sway
Like I know I've done before
I will not do it anymore
I've always been a dreamer
I've had my head among the clouds
Now that I'm coming down
Won't you be my solid ground?

I Won't Give Up

I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough enough
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

(In his live version there is a verse that says:

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get dark

I'm healing this broken heart

And I know I'm worth it.

I like that verse.)

Favorites Lately - End of December

Pretty sure I'm just obsessed with this album right now...also it's on sale in itunes for 6.99 right now :)

Florence and the Machine - Ceremonials. Get it. Now.

J.Crew Leopard Sweater Dress. If I could buy this whole store right now I probably would. Also on sale right now too.

Love this cute bird print from Anthro...too bad I can't afford it :( Too bad I can't paint one for myself either.

Found this on pinterest so I have no idea where to find something like it, but it would be so cute for a New Years dress.

Very much like this quote:

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."

- Robert Frost

I need this rug in my life. Anthro.

As you can tell, I'm going through an animal print phase. I also need these Madewell flats in my life.

I found this cute site in a magazine or something. I think these earrings are sooo cute!

Bird on a branch earrings at www.catherinewieztman.com

Playing this song on repeat too. Fun - We Are Young.

Favorites Lately - Christmas Edition

The Nativity Story - Every Christmas Eve we read it before we go to sleep.

Elf on a Shelf - I think this is such a cute idea. I might have to do it when I have kids to make sure they are good!

Elf - still one of the funniest movies ever.

Christmas shopping! We all know how much I love shopping in general, but I love the smells and wrappings. I like coming home and going shopping with my family. And I really like finding presents for other people.

The Holiday - I love this movie too. I love Christmas movies and I love the people in this. I would probably watch this when it's not Christmas.

I didn't get to see the lights this year, but I love the lights at the temple. So pretty.

Christmas Vacation - hilarious!

Christmas Nails - I just did mine in the glitter overcoat from Sephora, but I love the candy cane nails below as well. I need to get a steadier hand though.

The Nutcracker Ballet - I miss this so much! I danced in it every year growing up, and am still in love with it. My favorite ballet.

It's a Wonderful Life - my family also watches this every Christmas Eve.

Ok...so I admit...I love this song...who doesn't love to blast this and jump around on the couch or their bed while doing so?

California

I am leaving for California tonight for Christmas!

I haven't been home since last year for Christmas and I'm so excited!

- crab legs for christmas eve dinner

- movie nights with my little brother

- going out with with high school friends

- making treats with my mom

- presents...duh

- the sun! and 60 degree weather instead of 20 degrees and snow

- it's a wonderful life on christmas eve

- prime rib on christmas

- shopping!

Obviously I had to put in my OC theme song here. Can't wait to be home!

Do You Hear What I Hear?

One of my favorite Christmas songs, but I especially love Carrie's version :)

Favorites Lately - Mid December

1. J.Crew Invitation Clutch - It's the perfect size to use as a clutch or a purse. I love this print.

2. Photo Booth Wall. I think I'm going to have to do this in my house.

via high heels and ddp

3. No idea who makes this, but it is gorgeous. I love vintage looking wedding dresses. Found on pinterest.

4. I agree.

5. I usually don't like this style of boots, but I kind of want to get these Sorels this year. They're cute, but actually practical...haha

6. Kourtney and Kim Take New York...I know I know...but it's my guilty pleasure. I swear Kourtney gets funnier every year. Khloe visited last week and she cracks me up sooo much too. Kim is crazy. I miss Kourtney and Khloe take Miami.

7. Robin Piccone Swim Suit at Nordstorm. I really like this...like a lot.

8. I have kind of been obsessing over this song since the Victoria Secret Fashion show too. I really like the song, but this video is weird lol. But it's little Jeny from Gossip Girl. This is apparently why she isn't on the show anymore.

Favorites Lately - Early December

Very true.

I wish I could find cute ways to do my hair. I love this because it looks cute for dressing up or down. Messy buns are my favorite.

Infinity Ring. No idea where to find this, but I'm going to start searching. I found it on pinterest. I love the simplicity.

Love this smell...go try it out.

Every year I like to get Christmas PJs...I just got this shirt/dress top from Victoria Secret's pink collection. They make the cutest stuff. Now I want to get the thermals below to go with it.

The 'Real Hoot Canister' from Anthropologie. Pretty sure this is the perfect gift. It's so cute. I'm going to get one for me, my mom, and Jake's mom. I'm obsessed.

Found this dress on pinterest also...gorgeous.

I want this necklace. Kris Nations State Pendant Necklace at Nordstroms.

New Brunswick Sweater at Anthropologie. The perfect sweater for winter.

A little bit obsessed with this song...especially after the Victoria Secret Fashion show...I've been getting my gansta on :)

American Music Awards

Not so many of my favorite outfits at this awards show...I don't know if it was because people were trying to be edgy or something, but I didn't love most of them.

Jennifer Hudson

It looks like she was trying to be really futuristic or something, but I just don't feel like thats her style. Didn't really like it.

Audrina Patridge

She looks pretty, but I don'y like her hair that curly. If she was going to do 'old hollywood' with her hair, she should have worn a "glamourous" dress or something...I don't know.

Heidi Klum

See...she can pull off this kind of look. Still not my favorite dress, but she always looks amazing.

The Band Perry

I like her dress, but I hate their hair!

Lady Antebellum

I do like them...classy.

Christina Augilera

Umm...she looks pregnant...wrong dress choice hun. And the color makes her look paler than she already is.

Jenny McCarthy

I actually like this. I think she looks so pretty. The color is so pretty on her.

Kelly Clarkson

Also...bad dress choice. She looks like a large verson of that bunny on Roger Rabbit. It's like suctioned to her, which would be ok if she was still skinny. And it makes her look super short. She could have picked so many other options...or at least black?

Miley Cyrus

Do people still pay attention to her? ugh.

I don't like the giant train and bow in the back. It doesn't fit with the dress anyway. Her hair looks nice though.

Selena Gomez

I usually really like her outfits, but not this one. It washes her out too much. What's with all of the weird silver dresses?

Vanessa Milano

I like this on her...It makes her legs look so long!

Sarah Hyland

I love her. She's so cute. I like the first dress on her way better, so I'm not sure why she changed, but she so cute it doesn't matter.

Julie Bowen

I love her too. I actually really like this dress too. She wasn't trying to hard and it looks really good on her. She looks amazing...Like she wasn't trying to hard.

Katie Perry

Sometimes she has the weirdest style, but besides the pink hair I think this dress totally fits her and I kind of like it. Probably would only like it on her though. Not a huge fan of the flower in her hair though.

I did not understand the outfit for her performance though because it had nothing to do with her song...but that performance was SO GOOD. I loved that she did a slow version of 'The one that got away'. I have to find it somewhere to download. I love her.

Taylor Swift

She looks perfect, but I feel like she has to have worn this dress before...it looks like a bunch that she has worn before. However I love sparkle dresses! She was the big winner again!!!! WOO HOO!

Jennifer Lopez

Umm she's crazy...I'm pretty sure she took her clothes off like 5 times, and copied Britney's outfit from however many years ago that was...but I will give it to her for looking that good for her age. I hope I look that good when I'm 40-whatever.

I did however love this dress...her body is great right now. This dress was perfect for her...and check out her booty and those shoes below...ammmaaazing.
