love these

I love this Madewell necklace. It's actually even better in real life. I am already a fan of their scarfs and shirts, but they are adding more and more jewelry and I love it all. Here are some of my favorites.

I love Jcrew and I can't wait for The Romantics. I love that the cast is in the new catalog, but where is Dianna Agron??

I am obsessed with the French Riviera and have to go there one day. Not only does Brigitte Bardot live there, but I feel like it would be the perfect place to wear navy stripes, gold sandals, and gold jewelry everyday.

This new J Crew video is so cute and sums it up perfectly.

I really want this J Crew silk striped romper.

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.

so i think this is the best costume for today~little edie

There is a video store in Dallas called Premiere Video that has every documentary you could ever imagine. Mallory and I love documentaries, so when we found this place we were obsessed! A few years ago the owner suggested we rent Grey Gardens, so glad we did. If you saw the HBO movie then you know the story, but the actual documentary is so much better. Big and Little Edie are the strangest mixture of funny, sad, ridiculous and just really interesting.

The daughters of one of the filmmakers also recently came out with this book which is available at Anthropologie.
It even includes a CD of "the Beale's at their best".

Jcrew creative director Jenna Lyons described their Fall 2010 look as "Edie Beale goes to Girl Scout camp". Sounds fabulous!

Since I'm trying to get something besides gold, I thought these jcrew earrings were pretty. I would only wear them with something really casual otherwise I would feel kind of cheesy. They look less cheap and more sparkly in real life.

Fyi...they are only $29 dollars in the store.

who doesn't want to dress like these kids?

Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite things are from jcrew and overall I really like the store. But I truly love crewcuts. Every time I go in there (which is often) I genuinely have to talk myself out of trying to squeeze into a size 14.

Here are some things I really wish were my size

So cute!
