Mad Men Casting Call.

One of my favorite bloggers, Hannah, is doing the Mad Men Casting Call. I really think she deserves to win, so please VOTE and spread the word!

...also, if you don't already watch Mad Men, you can start this Sunday at 10 PM. It's on AMC, and it's basically the best show ever. Actually, it is the best show ever.

Head in the Clouds.

These days my head is off in the clouds or drifting off into space.

The Best Makeup Tutorial Ever

This is THE funniest thing I have ever seen.
"This is gonna be kinda Jersey Shoreish. Kinda Snooki-ish."

If you like Elizabeth Taylor or Snooki...or are just curious about how they relate...watch this.

Françoise Hardy.

Jus' holdin' a marble statue's head. NBD.

Everyone has a favorite icon, and mine will always be Miss Françoise Hardy. What a BA.

Here are some of her best jams:


(This isn't the whole song, but just look at her outfit! Cutie pie.)


(This vid is equally adorable. Cue cheesy 1960s special effects and dancing hearts.)

I've written a couple of other posts about her, if you are still interested: here and here.

Zara Lookbook

Adoring these looks from the 2010 Zara Spring Lookbook posted over at Art Pixie (which is quickly becoming one of my new favorite blogs. The author posts so many beautiful photos and takes some great ones herself). The first one is my favorite -- I like how it borrows from the boys, but still remains very feminine.

Sunshine Wedding.

I mean, I don't know how I feel about marriage myself, but just look at the yellow! I am pretty sure that I am feelin' it.

Ignore the weird video, just don't stop believin'.

Sweet Heat.

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

I have been spending way too much time on Tumblr these days, dudes. This heat wave is getting to me -- 104 degrees yesterday, 100 today. I feel too sick to do much else.

Party Like It's 1950.

I would absolutely love to own this dress by Anthropologie. It reminds me of Betty Draper and her puffy dresses on Mad Men. I'm getting so excited for the Season 4 premiere! Do you guys watch Mad Men? Who are your favorite characters?

This website has a great outline of all of the fashions on the show, and here is a critical analysis of Betty's character.

The West is Yet to Come

I'm dying to get out west (or to New York)...I keep sending in job applications and crossing my fingers!

Also, unrelated -- but this is the best jam I've heard all summer:

Just Another Diamond Day.

I usually don't post my own work here, but here are a couple of collages I made in Photoshop last week. Also, I've recently joined Society 6, so feel free to add me there if you have an account.
