Mad About Blue








Let's talk about denim. My favorite jeans are, without a doubt, BDG brand jeans. There is nothing worse than trying on 100 pairs of jeans until finding the perfect pair and since discovering this brand, I haven't tried on jeans in a store since. Around 2006 I converted to skinny jeans only but BDG has so many perfect styles; high-waisted, ankle length, black, grey, destroyed, stretchy, YOU NAME IT! I especially prefer the ankle length jeans to accommodate my 5’2 frame. These jeans were lifesavers. All jeans are way too long for me, but these ankle length jeans (also super cute on you normal people) fit me perfectly length-wise as jeans should and also saved me some time with my sewing machine. All styles are perfect for boots and can be dressed up or down. The prices aren’t so bad either ranging from $39 to $64. What are YOUR favorite jeans?

As Seen On...GOSSIP GIRL




Little Jenny Humphrey and the always fabulous Carrie Bradshaw in Sex In The City 2 have been spotted rocking 5-finger leather "half" gloves by Patricia Field. These affordable gloves are the perfect accessory to take your look from day to night!

WANTS



Chain Harness Necklaces: Trend alert! These body hugging necklaces are being seen every where lately and I am loving them! These are the perfect simple accessory to make a BIG statement. Also try making your own with old necklaces and new chains for a cheaper version that won't break the bank.

To Grommet Or Not To Grommet?


Am I the only one who thinks grommets look cheap? They may be making a big turn around lately, but every time I see them I can't help but think about my middle school l.e.i jeans that came with those hideous pleather belts with two rows of grommets all around. I just can't seem to budge on the grommet trend. If you love it, I'm sure you rock it. I think my problems with grommets may just be hidden anxiety of middle school. I'm a little sad because I believe they would have had potential for me.

What do you think? Love them or Leave them?


My Favorite Place In The World



I would like to dedicate this entry to Lexington, KY where I currently am confined to a hospital bed before surgery. I love Lexington so much because hidden between roads is where I find the place I call my favorite place of all time. The first time I went I was probably 14 and the entire place fascinated and inspired me. Every square inch of the petite little store was covered from ceiling to foor in paints of shocking candy colors. (This store was also inspiration for my sparkly pink walls in my room at my parents house.) Even when I thought the place couldn't be any more exciting, they added on a COFFEE SHOP! Imagine my delighted heart after I got to experience shopping in my favorite store for unique one of a kind jewelry and hand-painted pieces WHILE drinking (I must say) the best white mocha ever. If you haven't already been yet, I introduce to you...Third Street Stuff.

Betseyville...Dreamville










DREAMS! Everything I love crafted into one magnificent Villa owned by none other Betsey Johnson. DYING.

Taylor Swift No Longer My Guilty Pleasure



I have NO SHAME! This girl is so GLAMOROUS in this poolside photo spread. Though, I'm sure she was a little out of her element, she ROCKED her new high fashion persona. LOVE IT.
