These are a few of my favorite things...

Maybe its just because I've just started this blog but I find myself spending unreasonable amounts of my day thinking of what I'm going to put on here. It seems that whenever something happens to me my first or second thought is this will be great for my blog, how funny is that?

So...I'm not sure how I want to do this but I wanted to do like my 10 favorite things once a week. But for today I think I'm going to do my favorite things overall just so you can kind of get to know me better, so here they are.

A few of my favorite things:

1. Favorite Actress: This is really easy for me, of course it's...Rachel Bilson. I think she is a really amazing actress and I admire her even more because she has such great fashion sense. She definitely is the inspiration behind alot of my outfits but I try not to copy them completely because I think it is very important to develop your own stlye. Yeah it's great to have a celebrity muse but their style should be incorporated into yours not taken over 100%. If you don't already love her Rachel Bilson is definitely someone to watch.



2. Favorite Actor: This may sound weird and I'm not exactly sure if he's my favorite but I really like...Adam Brody. I think he is hilarious and I loved him in The O.C. (of course it didn't hurt that he dated Rachel Bilson). I think the thing I like most about him is how quirky he is, he made being geeky cool and that's why I love like him so much.He also has great fashion for a guy, another thing that drew me to him, alot of celebrity guys are too afraid to try things because they think it looks like they care too much but I love that he gives his outfits some thought.


P.S. Weren't they so cute together?!

3. Favorite Song: this changes pretty much every time a new song comes out but right now I think it would have to be Jonas Brothers "Burning Up." If you haven't heard this song (and I can't see how you haven't) you have to go listen now. Everytime I hear it I want to get up and dance around my room. It has such great energy and the video is hilarious! Here it is for all those who haven't seen it yet (shame on you).




4. Favorite Fashion Trend: Once again, this was really hard to choose. It's like telling a mom to choose her favorite child! But I guess if I had to choose it would be...mini dresses! I love them! Since I'm only 5'3ish it's hard for me to find looks that make me appear taller but a mini dress definitely does the trick. And with summer here (in Florida) I need to be cool at any cost. Another thing I love about them is that it's the perfect outfit. All you really need is the dress some accesories and shoes and your set!




5. Favorite Movie: This movie is definitely going way back but from the moment I saw it I loved it...The Notebook. It made me laugh, it made me cry and I still loved it! Who didn't root for Noah and Allie? And by the way did anyone else think that the outfits that Rachel McAdams wore in that movie were awesome?! I thought it was well done and overall a really good movie.





6. Favorite guy singer: I actually have three favorite guy singers and they go by the name...Jonas Brothers. You may be laughing right now saying why is this college age girl's favorite group the Jonas Brothers? But let me explain, first of all I like them because I love their energy. Every song they have is so upbeat that I can't help but love it. And second they have great style. Who doesn't love a guy that takes risks? And they are definitely known for their risk taking. Just look at the pics and see. The Jonas Brothers are going to get big fast just wait and see.




7. Favorite girl singer: Here's another weird one I would have to say...Taylor Swift. I know she's country but she hasn't made a song that I didn't like. I can totally relate to her lyrics and she has a great personality. She's definitely someone to look out for as well.



8. Favorite Designer: I love so many but...Chanel would have to be my number 1. Their clothes have been iconic since Gabrielle Coco Chanel. They have such simple pieces but they scream elegance. I love their quilted bags especially the tote (I'm obsessed with large bags) and their oversize sunglasses... perfect! My second favorite would probably be Marc Jacobs but since I can only pick one...




9. Favorite Magazine: SEVENTEEN!!! I am completely in love with this magazine. Every month they get better and better. I'm practically jumping up and down when it comes in the mail when it comes in the mail because I know that whoever is on the cover will be awesome and their fashion spreads never let me down. This is the magazine I really want to work for some day. Of course any magazine would be amazing but working for Seventeen would be a dream come true!

10. Favorite TV show: What true fashionista wouldn't say...Gossip Girl. From the very first "you know you love me," I've been hooked. Every episode got a little bit juicier and a little more obssession worthy. By the season finale it had officially become my guilty pleasure. Even now I'm dreaming of the day when my Tivo will once again be filled with GG episodes, sigh. Until then I will just have to settle for reruns and pics of course!



So what do you think, do you like my favorite things? Are any of these your favorites? If not,
what are some of your favorite things? Until next time...

I never thought it would come to this...

Growing up my parents always instilled in me the fear of the internet. "If you get on that chat site some pervert is going to come and get you!" But after years of sneaking onto fashion blogs then chat sites I have overcome my fear and today I finally took the plunge and I signed up for my own blog!!! It's pretty exciting I must say :) So I guess I should let you know what to expect, huh? Well, lets see I'm definitely going to discuss fashion since it's something I love more than life air and i'll probably discuss interesting things that have happened to me as I finish my college career and begin my career hopefully in the fashion magazine industry (where else can you combine writing and fashion :). I also wanted to try to do my top things of the week, like best movie, best song, etc. So we'll see how that goes. Well, I better go I'm supposed to meet my friend Andrew for dinner but I'll be back to post soon enough. Until then...

So hard to say goodbye,
