Style Icon : Zooey Deschanel

January 18th, 2010

Zooey Deschanel is known for her quirky beauty and ability to change her look and persona in an instant. She first got our attention in the film Mumford and has since gone on to playing the older stewardess sister in Almost Famous and the goth makeup-counter attendant in The Good Girl. She is the vintage darling of the fashion world with her flapper-era sense of style. Zooey herself admits her love for vintage clothing in a recent article, “I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal.”

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. -audrey hepburn

This weekend Shayne and I are finally going to see Up In The Air and go out to dinner. I’ll be updating the shop over the weekend as well. I’ll be trying my hand at making parisian macarons and finding a home for all of my magazine/catalog tearouts in a blank journal. Whatever your plans are I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Wardrobe : Polka Dots

January 12th, 2010

Last week I joined the flickr group bloganistas. The idea is to take a picture of one outfit weekly and prove that as bloggers we don’t wear yoga and sweat pants all day everyday. If you are a blogger please play along!
