Zooey Deschanel Would Wear This Dress

Emerald Dress thanks to Everly
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Monogrammed Satchel Bag thanks to Leather Satchel Co.
Marc Jacobs Gold Watch
Aldo Patent Penny Loafers (soo comfortable and now on SALE!!)

After seeing Zooey Deschanel take to the red carpet for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards in a custom made emerald Prada frock, I couldn't help being reminded of this Everly dress. After a few spins in this thing, I feel like Zooey Deschanel as Jess in New Girl. Can't you too imagine Zooey in this playful, green dress?

Vampires Wear Ray-Bans!?

Covergirl Lipstick in Fairy Tale
Christian Dior Sweater (Vintage)
True Religion Carrie Bell Bottom Jeans
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
American Apparel Neon Nail Polish

When I look at Ray-Ban sunglasses, particularly the Wayfarer style, I think about Vampires. I find the design, shape and dark color perfect for a budding Vampire. Don't you?

What is it about Vampires I find so alluring? Maybe it's the fact that most Vampires portrayed in film or television are ridiculously good looking? That might be it. There's also an interest with their dark, secret world. Mythical and magical. Or maybe Edward Cullen and the Salvatore brothers have simply engulfed us with their big, dreamy eyes and pompadour hairstyles? It's funny how at first my Mom thought the enthrallment of Vampires was weird. Though now, having recently seen all 3 installments of Twilight, wants to see the newest film on the big screen asap! Even my hairstylist confided in her Mom tuning into The Vampire Diaries each week. I think Vampires are being rendered more and more as romantic beings instead of scary creatures..

What do I foresee as the next spell to take the World by storm? It's already begun... Fairy Tales! From Grimm to Once Upon a Time.. and now, the remake of Snow White. I'm so there!!

Favorite Summer Outfits

Some of my favorite outfit outtakes from Summer 2011. *Click each image to see the full post and details.

And now, some Random Facts About Myself:

+ I don’t like to walk barefoot except at the beach, on the warm sand. Indoors I’m always in slippers or sandals of some sort.

+ I prefer evaporated milk in my cereal and 2% in my coffee.

+ I tend to organize things numerically and/or alphabetically. With my Fashion magazines, it’s by date and month.

+ As a kid, I used to collect anything miniature. From stickers to erasers to Polly Pocket. Every now and again when I see something infinitesimally small, I’m reminded of my collecting phase.

+ I get really nervous around celebrities I admire. I also hate public speaking.

+ I used to turn down dates on Friday nights just so I could watch the TGIF lineup on Television. I’d always reschedule for a Saturday date night though! ;)

+ I like to plan everything. I always need to know “what’s next” on my schedule. Otherwise I cannot relax. I’m a Virgo, what can I say?

+ I love to read before bed. I go through books like water. I’m reading something new every 2 days.

+ I splurge on magazines the most when I’m traveling. I treat myself to tabloids and Fashion books to read on the plane. I also stock up my iPod with hundreds of songs.

+ I can’t sleep without hugging a pillow or stuffed animal.

+ I used to ride my bike around the neighborhood when I was little, walkman in tow. Singing along to my Free Willy Michael Jackson soundtrack.. the boys would tease me…. lol!

What's on Your iTunes Playlist??

One Teaspoon Mickey Shirt, Neon Pink Skinny Jeans, Society of Les lace Tank, Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms, Vintage bag and sunnies

As a special Readers Request, I've compiled my Top 25 iTunes Summer Playlist. Some of you may already follow my "Now Playing" tweets on Twitter. Many of the songs I listen to play a large role in what I wear on the blog. Music is a huge inspiration to me, and I work better with it. I'm also guilty of using the "Repeat ON" function. Sometimes a certain song gets me in just the right zone and state of mind. I rarely use the Shuffle mode.. unless I'm working out.

I want to know what is in YOUR summer music mix? Please share!! :)

More Louboutins!?

Here are some outtakes from my first post featuring Christian Louboutin. I'm pondering about splurging on a few pairs. What do you think? Which Christian Louboutin styles do you like best?

I'm considering a pair of classic, black pumps. And maybe something really wild like these studded stilettos?
