Breaking Dawn part 2 - Teaser Trailer

I saw this in all its glory at the theater last night when I went to see The Hunger Games.  It may only be 15 minutes long but boy did it get me excited.  Too bad I have to wait until november to see the movie! 

This One's for You Suz

Madewell Braid

I'm loving the braid from the Madewell spring catalog...I'm sure I'm not coordinated enough to do it but its worth a try.  It would be a good summer hair style to keep long hair off your neck AND the messier it gets the better it looks which is a total plus in my book!

My Fantasy World

As I've said before, Alex gets full credit for bringing me out of the fantasy world where Robert Pattinson was my boyfriend and I worked as Mumford and Son's personal assistant...but sometimes I secretly let myself drift back to that world just a little bit and let myself live in my fantasy world vicariously though Pinterest.

In my fantasy world I live in a cute little bungalow like this.

...and I sleep in a bed like this, but don't worry, I don't have a redic chandy like the one in this room.

Outside there are perfectly planted pots in bloom, always.

Oh, and I have a neon chicken coup complete with chickens for fresh eggs every morning.  Please take note of the roof top garden on my chicken coup...its one of my fav features of the whole set-up.

When I have twilight movie marathons I snuggle up under this fab blanket.

When I have parties I simply make a meyer lemon garland like this one for the table from the meyer lemon tree I have.  That way guests feel like I've put work into creating a nice environment but it doesn't feel too fancy.

I pack for trips in this fad duffel...to be honest, this could actually be part of my real life, its a steal at only $99!

Every day I would eat goat cheese...like this goat cheese and roasted red pepper pasta.

And of course I'd have time to craft everything my little heart desired like these beaded friendship bracelets for all of you!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

I don't think I have the coloring to pull this off, but I still like the idea of it.  Pair it with white skinnys.

What you can't really tell by this pic is that the bottom 1/3 of third of the shirt is a separate piece of fabric so the shirt won't cling to love handles.  Also I imagine the draping in the front would be very flattering.

If Only My Pinterest Closet Were Real...

This is really ringing true today.  If my Pinterest closet were real here are some of the things I'd be wearing this weekend...

This outfit just looks so easy breezy.  I'm not sure about the length of the skirt though, need to try one on.  Madewell has a similarly cut skirt right now that's red with a tiny floral pattern...I might try it out with a red or black solid top.

I prob wouldn't wear the huge platforms but I like everything else about this outfit (I really, really want to get back into flare legged jeans!).  I've recently decided that I need to get more tops that can be dressed up or down...my wardrobe has gotten way to casual now that I've dropped out of the bar scene I frequented through college and grad school.

I just love this outfit.  I know I'm going to have to drop some major lbs to pull of white skinnys, but a girl can dream.

Flour Bombed!

I came across this pic on People.com this morning and it made me laugh so naturally I had to share it with all of you!  I think I might start flour bombing my frenemies...who's with me?

Kim Kardashian was on the receiving end of a so-called flour bomb when an unidentified woman tossed a plastic bag of white powder at the reality star as she walked a red carpet Thursday night, according to sheriff's deputies.

Paramedics were called to West Hollywood's London Hotel, but Kardashian, who got most of the powder on her jacket and hair, refused treatment, reports the Associated Press. It was later determined the substance was cooking flour.

"That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that ever happened to me," Kardashian told E! News. "Like I said to my makeup artist, I wanted more powder and that's a whole lot of translucent powder right there."

A non-criminal battery report was taken by police, and Kardashian, 31, is not pressing charges, says AP. Afterwards, she reportedly went to a room in the hotel, cleaned herself up and changed outfits.

So far, she has not Tweeted anything about the incident, although sister Khloé Kardashian Odom was inspired to write: "I wish I was with my sister tonight. I bet you that woman wouldn't have dared tried a thing."

Deputy Peter Gomez says that after the alleged assaulter was detained by hotel security, she was released at the scene.

Gear Revival

Sorry for the lack of posts recently...work has been crazy.  I don't see it settling down any time soon but I'm still going to do my best to get posts to you guys whenever I can!

Last weekend while I was in Asheville I was flipping through the Blue Ridge Outdoors publication and came across an ad for a store called Gear Revival in Atlanta.  I'd never heard of it but thought it was worth looking into.  I first checked their website: http://www.thegearrevival.com/.  And it sounded like it was sort of like a Plato's closet for outdoorsy people...you can take used clothes, gear, etc and either try to sell it on consignment or they will give you cash/store credit for whatever you bring in (you get more back if you do store credit).

I had a few jackets I no longer wear and decided to take them in on Sunday.  That's when I found out it's also kind of like a Marshall's or TJ Max for outdoor stuff.  They have tons of brand new stuff to at really good prices.  They said its all either last season or from other stores that close and Gear Revival buys up their inventory or from store samples.

Alex got a really nice pair of Patagonia shorts for $20 and I got my brother a dry fit Mountain Hardware shirt for his birthday for $12!  Its def worth checking out...I wish I would have know about it a lot sooner!

Mumford Posters

Katrina had the pleasure of attending this set of concert in Nashville.  I didn't but I still want a poster.  Maybe I'll add it to my birthday wish list (hint hint).  There are only 60 of each color so get them while the are hot!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Apparently this bracelet come in different versions with maps of all the astrological symbols on them.  I like this one best (Sagittarius) and I would have no idea its a map of anything in the first places so I don't think you necessarily need to get your own sign.

I really think I'm going to jump on the colored jean band wagon!
