Next time I go to San Francisco I have to stop at Crown & Crumpet Tea Salon.

It's so cute and I love tea!

I love Michael Kors watches. They look so great and are actually pretty inexpensive. Most of them are under $250.

This is my favorite style that I wear all the time.

Goldtone Oversize Iconic Chronograph Watch

Lately I have been wearing this one.

Clean Navy Dial Bracelet Watch

After seeing this piglet in mini Hunter boots...

I'm serious about this.

braids

Maybe because it's the only hairstyle I have ever been able to (kind of) master, but I never get tired of braids.

How to:

Basic Side Braid

French Side Braid

Fishtail Braid

Current favorite braid, of course LC. Who else would it be?

why is my hair not this color?

This color of blond is pretty much my ideal hair color. I love how it's darker on top and blonder at the bottom yet it doesn't look like she has roots. It's just pretty and beachy. I get my hair highlighted again on June 11th and I would like to come out looking like this. We'll see.

Oh and The City starts back tonight.

halston heritage

Since I truly believe I was meant to live in the 70's, I am so excited about the return of Halston. I want all these dresses. They remind me of Penelope Cruz in Blow and Sarah Jessica Parker wears 4 in the Sex and the City 2 trailer.

My favorite...



Purchase here and here.

{ Halston & Bianca Jagger}
I can't wait to see Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston. Not only do I love fashion documentries, but the credits list Andre Leon Talley as a primary cast member. I find him so entertaining and he was by far my favorite part about The September Issue. If it wasn't for Andre, Whitney would have never fallen down the stairs.

weekend reading

My 2 favorite brunettes are on the cover of the May issue of Nylon. Who is this random girl in the middle? Couldn't they get Rachel Bilson or Leighton Meester?

american apparel kids

The American Apparel baby and kids line is so cute. They have all my favorite items for kids and everything is really inexpensive. They even have a miniature version of my favorite gray hoodie!

They have alot of cute boy/unisex stuff too.

I don't know why I always post girl stuff considering my 3 friends with kids have boys.

Purchase here.

sea of blue

Anything that is a bright sea blue, I want to buy. I even recently painted my beside table blue.
I am really loving this color and here are some of my recent favorites.

i almost forgot

Jenna Lyons is on Oprah today! She is the creative director of JCrew and (I think) pretty much the only reason that store has ended up being so great. If it wasn't for her, Jcrew would be the Gap.

The clothing item I get the most use out of is the American Apparel Tri Blend Racerback Tank. I have almost every color and wear them all the time. The best thing is....they are only $19 dollars.

Of course here are some of my favorites wearing the tank.
