celebrity ho hum and cannes (very, very late).

6/29 edit- I'm done with this blog (just finished deleting some blah posts) but thanks for still commenting! If you do comment I'll still get back to you. But wow it's already been a month since I stopped... wow. I miss it but I pretty much have no blogging skills but I'll probably try it again in the fall. Hmmm. What else is there? I'm going to leave by saying, since it goes with this post, that the movie Sex and the City was actually pretty cool. And Carrie and Charlotte's clothes were to die for! And... even if no one goes on this blog ever again I couldn't resist a few pictures (more for my sake than yours) of what I have been wearing this summer... dresses (yay!) and aviators and I have become obsessed with painting my nails. Haha ok. Sorry for talking/rambling so much! Thank you to anyone who's reading this <3




Is it just me or are you too getting sick of the tabloids/celebrity blogs? I don't read or go to them regularly, but when I do it's always the same: mindless buzz about Sex and the City (which I love and plan to see, but it's just an overload!), then some stupid blurb involving little-talent starts like Lauren Conrad or Miley Cyrus or Lindsay Lohan's little sister (and those are just a few examples). wtf? What is happening to this world?? I guess this whole boring-celebrity crazed culture we've got going on is partly fueled by us, people who gossip and fawn over them and sometimes even blog about them. (Which is exactly what I am planning to do right now, well the blogging part at least. Yes, I am a hypocrite. Though I WILL do you a favor and leave out the SATC stuff).


So... I have to admit that, while I find them slightly annoying, both ex-Laguna Beach girls Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari (frenemies, if I remember..Lauren causes so much gosh darn drama on TV these days) are getting to have very nice style indeed.


I like how Kristin is 'stepping out of the box' and actually experimenting with looks (this is very 70's and casual but chic to me) instead of being the Boring Bitch From The Hills.



Lauren's top is a lovely shape and makes up for the horrid leggings.



In my opinion Rachel Bilson can do no wrong, even if she is in the simplest, drabbest clothes...


And CANNES... I did not really search hard for any amazing dresses and I know a lot of other blogs have already covered this, so here are just a few dresses I liked. I loved the purple and details on Mischa & Natalie. Angelina looks like a pregnant goddess in green, and Eva is such a bombshell.

GAH. A more interesting post coming soon that is not filled with the usual celebrity humdrum.

the lilac tree is blooming in my backyard. it's like everything is coming alive and I love it.

scrapbook and ramblings

My pages of collage have accumulated over the past few months... whenever I get a new magazine in the mail I get really excited and have the urge to cut it up. Yeah, I'm pretty cool. Basically I just cut out pictures that inspire me or outfits I like... I dunno. I know a lot of other people do it too.. I thought it would be fun if we all shared them, haha.

I also got some new earrings. They're chandelier and I really like them. They're probably completely "out" or whatever but i could care less.

This weekend I'm going to suburban Chicago to visit some family friends. Not the most exciting thing, but I'll be fine. Right now I'm drinking an iced chai latte (with soy). It's amazing. I'm just trying not to think about homework and track practice and school. I'm not uber stressed or anything because I know my life is great, but sometimes it just gets to you, you know... I have had kind of an "off" day today. I feel like my friends (a couple of them) are being really immature and bitchy and I'm sick of it. I'm just trying to get through this month of school, do all my homework, attempt to get straight A's. I'm just ready for summer.

spring fever

I tried to wear my cheap Forever 21 tunic thing two ways, both of which ended up slightly whore-ish but thats okay. I like the first one (above) better, I know the pictures are god awful but, I'm just wearing indian slippers, a white t-shirt, and tights. In the second outfit (below) I'm bare legged and wearing some floral blouse. I ended up wearing my tunic/dress to the parade with leggings (go ahead call me unfashionable, but I still wear them) and blah black sandals, with a white t-shirt underneath.

The Minneapolis May Day parade, which I attended yesterday. The parade according to the brochure is a "celebration of humanity." I loved seeing the floats and masks, they were all so bright and colorful and springlike. Very inspirational.

It's Cinco de Mayo today, I don't have school for some reason, and I am really happy, maybe because of the warm weather and the fact that I had a really good weekend. I hung out with my best friend on Saturday, and yesterday I went to the May Day Parade with some friends, then went to see Iron Man with other friends, then later (phew) I went to a bonfire. My weekends are almost NEVER this interesting, hahah I swear. Oh and I also saw the oldish movie Definitely Maybe and now have a new crush on Ryan Reynolds.



ummm. enough said.



I also have a girl crush (along with a million other bloggers) on Gwyneth Paltrow right now. She is adorable in Iron Man and I love how she's thirty-something with kids and still has the longest legs ever and wears stilettos and is just all around gorgeous.
