Does anyone else use Polyvore? It's a fashion website where users can create "sets," which are basically collages of clothes, accessories, and other pictures. You can also comment and favorite other people's sets. Above, this is one of the sets I created using Polyvore.

I was somewhat disappointed at the style at this year's Golden Globe Awards... everyone was so "safe." I don't really know anything about Ginnifer Goodwin (apparently she's on HBO; I don't get that channel), but my did I love her outfit. Finally, something that is punchy, stylish, and fun. She looked great, even with the umbrella-accessory.Tell me: What do you think of this ensemble?

Stella McCartney

We all love Stella McCartney's environmentally designs. So, the natural thing to do would be to incorporate our animal friends, like Bambi, into an ad campaign. Clever idea, no? By the way, loved her spring 2010 collection. Check it out here.

I am here today to discuss playsuits, or, as I call them, "bicycle dresses." You see, if it's too much trouble to wear a far more practical pair of shorts, and you simply adore the appearance of a dress, throw on a playsuit. Sarcasm aside, I always thought they were somewhat odd looking pieces of apparel that oddly bunch up between the thighs.

But Topshop has made me change my mind. Isn't this floral printed one adorable?

hmmm. I should ponder purchasing one of these for spring.

I seem to have a certain attraction to Daisy Buchanan-esque dresses and hats. I mean, there is something inexplicably amazing about a cloche and a glamorous evening gown.



He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself.

Finally over as of today. I had Russian and French, which weren't too bad.

Oh well. I suppose I'll close with a quote.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -Albert Einstein

There. That seems rather apt.

{lovely.lyrics}

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....
