I WANT!!! I WANT!!! I WANT!!! TO SMELL LIKE ROSES ALL THE TIME

Blame it on being a girly girl, having a love for anything vintage, or feeling a strong connection to nature, but I am currently having an obsession with rose perfume. It smells timeless, natural and adult, and brings to mind Jane Austen novels, England, and being a lady. Love, love, love it. Two incredible scents are helping me quench the thirst for that rosy smell:



- True Rose Perfume Oil by Blushie
This perfume, which I purchased at Bizaar Bizarre, is amazing. The oil guarantees the scent will last a long time, it hydrates skin, and delivers a soft, true rose fragrance. I'm happy that it comes from a Bay Area artist and even happier that it only costs $6!!! These pocket sized perfumes are available in a variety of yummy scents. Stock up!!!

Composed of seven types of roses from around the world, Red Roses is a surprisingly clean, voluptuous scent. With a heart of crushed violet leaves and hints of lemon and spearmint, it unfolds like a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers.
I received this fragrance as part of a Jo Malone scent collection, and I can't stop wearing it. The beauty of Jo Malone fragrances is that you can mix and match scents to create new ones. I totally plan on doing this, but I can't help but spritz myself with the Red Roses Cologne by itself. It's strong, lasts forever and smells like pure roses. In fact, it's "composed of seven types of roses from around the world," according to the Jo Malone site. The other day, my friend told me I smelled like roses, and I knew this scent was a keeper.

SEEING DOUBLE: JENNA FISCHER AND AMY ADAMS


I've already commented on how similar Isla Fisher and Amy Adams look, but Amy also bears a strong resemblance to Jenna Fischer of "The Office." Red hair, green eyes, humorous roles--I'm constantly getting these two wonderful actresses confused!!!

I HEART FAKE NAILS

Fake nails, I missed you. Not having to worry about janky, chipped nails for two weeks, the instant attitude and hand talking that comes with you, the added accessory you become. As always, I like to tip toe the line between tasteful and tacky when it comes to my nails, and have a lot of fun with them. With the added advice from the awesome new nail person at Ele Ela International Salon, this awesomeness resulted.


P.S. I like the fact that this salon is right around the corner from my apartment and they always do good work, but they have a tendency to overcharge. I'm scouting a new location, so check back to see what salon(s) make the cut!!!

YOKO ONO FOLLOWS ME ON TWITTER!!! (I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW.)


I decided to add Yoko Ono because she is simply a badass. In fact, I very much enjoyed being the Yoko to Ian's John this Halloween. Say what you want about her (she's not perfect), she didn't break up The Beatles, she loved John Lennon, she fights for peace, and she's an awesome, innovative artist in her own right. So imagine my shock and excitement when I got an email saying Yoko Ono is following me back. Granted, she may have one of those programs that automatically follows whoever is following you, but, on the other hand, with 1,097,718 followers, she's only following 462,180 (as of November 19). So yes, I'm stoked and honored. :)

BIANCA*STARR'S "STYLIST BOUTIQUE" GETS LOVE IN "LUCKY!!!"


BIANCA*STARR's "Stylist Boutique" got some major love in November's issue of "Lucky Magazine!!!" This is so awesome, because I am friends with owner, Bianca Gutierrez, did the "Stylist Boutique" in August, and most importantly, think BIANCA*STARR is am amazing vintage store. The storefront photographed (stylist for the month gets to decorate the window) is by kickass stylist Julianne Moeller. Alas, my edition of the "Stylist Boutique" was right after "Lucky" visited the store, but I am very proud to have been a part of this awesomeness, and will gladly accept the moniker of "fashion phenom" lol.

Brian Wilson did such a kick-ass job on "Jay Leno" that fans want him to host "Saturday Night Live!!!"



Two pages on Facebook prove thousands of fans want people to "fear the beard" on SNL. An earlier campaign got Betty White the hosting gig, and the faithful fans of the San Francisco Giants want just the same for Wilson. Do you agree? Then click on the links below to "like" the cause!!!

I PUT IT IN THE BAG: MARC BY MARC JACOBS FANTASTICAL TALE STRASS CAT RING

When I saw you, I immediately fell in love. I debated. Were you a justified purchase??? But I knew if I didn't leave the store with you, I'd go cray cray.


This Marc by Marc Jacobs ring is so awesome, I can't stop looking at it on my hand. I even named him Chester lol. It looks like a ring you'd find at an amazing vintage store, but luckily for you, you don't have to search too far to get it (just click on the pic!!!). It's also available in black plastic.

ALREADY PLAYED OUT: ARMY GREEN TOP, DARK DENIM JEANS AND COGNAC BOOTS

You've seen the look. Army green military/utilitarian shirt, dark denim straight leg jeans, and cognac leather riding boots. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE these colors and items, and the look is very on trend, but seeing it 20 times a day has also made it overkill.

I WANT!!! I WANT!!! I WANT!!! TRINA TURK "FITZGERALD" DRESS

Trina Turk 'Fitzgerald' Ponte Knit Dress

"In Charcoal, Mood Indigo or Orchid Lounge Ponte.

Approx length from shoulder: 36"
Fully lined
Center back zip
Dry clean
69% rayon / 29% nylon / 2% spandex

$248.00"

This picture doesn't do Trina Turk's "Fitzgerald" dress enough justice. It is even more beautiful in person!!! The Orchid color is rich, the structure of the dress flattering, and the shoulder ruffles feminine, fun and stylish. The little bit of stretch ensures a great fit and tons of comfort. The best part is that Trina Turk dresses are always a go to for both work and play. Sounds like a wardrobe staple to me!!!

CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH THE 60S AND 70S

80s I love you. I truly do. But I think it's time to dabble artistically in the 60s and 70s, and appreciate the authenticity, experimentation, beauty, freedom and possibility these decades emanated. (Peace sign)
