Another Look I Love...

I (not so) secretly want to be Reese Witherspoon, especially now that she gets to smooch with Rob all the set of Water for Elephants.

I saw this pic of her the other day and thought her outfit looked super cute.


I picked up this jacket at Ann Taylor Loft last night for only 20 bones.


If you see me wearing a very similar outfit in the next couple days/weeks and tell me how much I look like Reese Witherspoon I will love you forever.

How to Become and Expert Anthropologie Shopper

I feel like its only fair I share a few tips with you so you can become master Anthropologie shoppers just like me.

1. Sign up for an Anthro card (http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/user/myanthro_signup.jsp) With an Anthro card you get a coupon for 15% off the month of your birthday every year. I signed my mom up too (using my address) so I also get her coupon every year (technically I think of it as my half birthday coupon).

In addition you also get free shipping offers quite frequently and you don't have to keep your receipts, the card keeps track of all your purchases electronically...which leads to my next bit of advice...

2. Anthropologie will adjust the price of anything you buy if it goes on sale within 14 days of when you bought it. For example...I bought this cute shirt on Saturday:


It went on sale for half price today.

NOTE: Most of the time Anthro puts stuff on sale on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I simply went to Anthro and had them look up the transaction and give me credit for the difference. A normal person probably would have just kept the credit, but an Anthro affectionado like myself would do something like picking up this sweater (which also went on sale today).


In my mind its like I got a shirt for free.

3. Create a Wishlist (or 2 or 3). I make Wishlists on Anthro for my birthday and for Christmas so my friends and family know exactly what I have my eye on...but I also have several other Wishlists that I keep for my own personal benefit. I have one for clothes I see online that I love...I add them to one Wishlist so I can look at them everyday and think about how much I love them, but also so that I can remember to look for them in the store to make sure they are as great in person as they are online.

I also have one for home and one for shoes/bags/accessories.

Finally I have one called 'Only if On Sale.' Here I keep track of everything I like that I want, but think will go on sale at some point and is worth waiting for.

NOTE: Use your own discretion with this, some things are so cute everyone will want them, the will get snatched up in your size, and they will never go on sale.

I check my Wishlists daily to see if anything has gone on sale rather than having to go through the entire Sale site (You don't have to do it everyday if you want to risk your item selling out...I don't like to take that chance very often).

I also use the 'New Arrivals' feature. The top left button on each tab (clothes, shoes/bags, accessories, and home) is called New Arrivals...if you click it you can see what's is new rather than having to look through the whole site.


That's all for now...hope this help you out...I can't tell you what a happy day I've had so far today just by using these little tips in my own life.

Skooks, Put Down the Pizza!


Posing for her mugshot...notice the smeard mascara and the absence of her bumpit.


The next day chowing down on some pizza. Maybe this is just a bad angle, but she is really starting to look as wide as she is tall.

Who Am I?


Who's sister is this? I'll add the answer as well as some scoop on her to this post tomorrow. Guess now, check back later.

No guesses? To hard or are you sick of guessing games?

Here is what MTV had to say about Elle Fanning, Dakota's little sister.

Kristen Stewart and company weren't the only ones turning heads at the glam-fest that was Los Angeles's Twilight: Eclipse premiere in June. That's where we first started to take notice of the tiny person who accompanied Dakota Fanning — her younger sister, Elle! HOLD UP. This girl is 12? No stranger to the big screen herself (she's been in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and is cast in Sofia Coppola's upcoming flick, Somewhere), Elle knows how to melt hearts on a red carpet by dressing in pretty party dresses and funky tops. Let's take a closer look.

Last March, she wore a satin dress to the Beverly Hills premiere of Phoebe in Wonderland. She kept the look simple and sweet with little black Mary-Janes. We can see that her style got less little-girlish later that year, when she attended the The Twilight Saga: New Moon premiere in a black bubble-hemmed dress and electric blue tights. She's playing with her style, as everyone should, and she totally nails this funkier look. When she attended this year's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse premiere in June, she'd gotten much more sophisticated — we love how she didn't try to upstage any of the stars by wearing a fancy-schmancy dress, but the lace top is so cool and feminine, and the black boots punk it up a little bit.

Elle, we're watching you with our style eyes! We bet we'll being seeing much more of her sweet style for years to come. And there has to be a Teen Vogue cover in her future. We're betting on it.

Cure for a Bad Case of the Mundays


These aren't new, but I thought they might help all of you deal with a bad case of the Mundays.

Snooks Goes to the Slammer


Always outrageous, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi allegedly took things too far this time.

The petite reality star, 22, of Jersey Shore was being booked by the Seaside Heights, N.J., police department Friday after she was seen intoxicated in public, a police source confirms. Meanwhile, the cameras on her popular MTV reality show were rolling too.

Polizzi was expected to be charged with disorderly conduct, another source says. "She didn’t hurt anyone or get in a fight," says the second source. "She just needs to be in a drunk tank for two hours."

(Not A) Surprise We're Divorced


These two are so redic.

It's only been a few hours since Heidi Montag filed for divorce, and already estranged hubby Spencer Pratt is trying to steal the spotlight.

"I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world," Pratt said Friday. "And that world is on a sound stage."

As for the reason for the split, Pratt, referring to himself in the third person, said, "It's clear that reality TV-fame-loving Spencer Pratt does not fit with my ex-wife Heidi Montag's ambitions for a motion picture actor/pop star career and being a single sex symbol for the world."

In the end, it seems the relationship just wasn't big enough for two divas. "Some say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen, Well, Heidi couldn't handle King Spencer's fame so she got out of the marriage."

Lindsay Released from Jail


After serving 13 full days in a solitary cell, Lindsay Lohan was freed from a Lynwood, Calif., jail in the wee hours of Monday morning.

"She was released at 1:35 a.m.," Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said outside the jail. "She has been sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center. And she will now be under the supervision of the L.A. County probation department. This concludes her custody."

The actress had been serving a 90-day sentence for violating probation in a DUI case, but served a reduced sentence for good behavior and due to the sheriff's long-standing policy of releasing nonviolent offenders early because of severe overcrowding.

Lohan was expecting to serve her court-ordered three months in rehab at an Orange County, Calif., facility, but the judge in her case changed her mind last minute over the weekend.

"There was concern that [Morningside Recovery] was not a secure enough facility," District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison told PEOPLE. Robison added that Judge Marsha Revel was concerned that drugs could be easily passed onto the actress, and therefore approved of an undisclosed L.A.-area rehab center. The facility reportedly is at UCLA Medical Center.

If Lohan violates any rules during her treatment, the court could be notified and the judge could potentially throw her back in jail for violating probation, legal experts say.

She also faces a year of random drug testing. The actress must stay clean and sober until August 2011, when her probation term is over. She is, however, allowed to take a number of prescription medications.
