The sun is rolling on in. . .

Each day it seems to be getting slightly warmer out, today is a shocking 50 degrees! Summer is just around the corner, which means that school will soon be over and that warm weather will finally be a constant! For my summer plans, I was recently offered a job at a summer camp as a counselor and I couldn't be more excited! I went to this camp for 8 years when I was younger and after 4 summers of not being there I am finally going back, and I am pretty stoked! The camp is a Jewish camp and every Friday night for Shabbat everyone gets dressed up, this is the one time a week where everyone has the opportunity to look their best. And because I just got hired and am way too excited to even sleep, I have been spending the majority of my free time looking for cute Shabbat outfits, as well as everyday camp attire. I am really into the maxi dress and just got a plain black racer-back one from H&M, but because my camp is so laid back I am looking for a floral maxi to go with the camp vibe. With accessories, shoes, shorts, tanks and the must needed v-necks... this is what I found.

twenty days of inspiration

Hey everyone,

It's been 20 day since my last post which is the longest I've gone in quite some time without posting! I have been swamped with midterms, papers, work and spring break. Okay, so spring break I wasn't too busy, but during these past 20 days I have been following all of my favorite blogs and have done plenty of shopping. During spring break I was also able to catch up with an old friend and we both have very similar style, we only wear three colors: black, white and dark green. So I thought that with spring right around the corner it was time to add some color back in my life. Even if it is only a bright pair of shoes, or a floral tank top with a black ensemble. So today I am showing you some of my inspirations for spring...

Love that a green army jacket can be used as a neutral but also as a colorful piece, I just got a jacket similar to this at H&M and now I just need a leopard print scarf, because I love this look (and her hair)!

You know I love the Olsen Twins, and their newest interview in this April's VOGUE is just great! It's so interesting to learn more about their business strategy and about the inner-workings of The Row. If you haven't already, you should definitely check out the interview and the sweet pictures. They are both dressed in clothing from their collection and the soft spring palette is so sweet and I love that they have the same hair style right now.

Everyone loves Marc Jacobs and I love the colors he used for spring. And I can totally do that hair-do to my hair, but I don't know if I have the guts!

I have always loved Chloe Sevigny and with the end of Big Love I am going to miss her as Nicolette and her crazy antics. But I will always look out for her incredible style sense and some upcoming films/shows that she's in. If you haven't seen the short truth or dare you have to see it, she's so hipster and cool, the video just makes her even cooler.

For spring I think it's a neccessity to have a spring inspired bag and I love this white one from Aldo. Not too big, but definitely not too small, it adds a perfect accent of spring to any outfit.

Lately I have been all about the neons, I just bought this shirt from Forever XXI and althought the OMG on the front is slightly corny, I really liked the color and is a fun shirt to hang out in.

Wedges and platforms are all the rage right now and I just got these shoes from Urban outfitters, they are great for a night out or a fun day at the beach. Can't wait to wear them!

I also just got these sweeeeeet heels!! I have just discovered that at 5' 2" I should probably start wearing heels all day every day. So with my 2 new purchases I'll hopefully be towering over a few people on a night out in these shoes! Can't wait.

On my extravagant shopping spree I got a black racer-back maxi dress, a floral print tank top and a blue relaxed button up shirt that I am very excited to wear! Hopefully it'll be nice enough to wear a few things I just got, but with the recent drop in temperature it may have to wait :-(

My last inspiration for spring...

My new perfume, it literally smells like the beach with a side of coconut, it's summer heaven and I plan on wearing it a lot because I am obsessed with the smell. . . so please run to your nearest perfume counter and smell this because I promise you will fall in love with the ridiculously good smell and the sparkly bottle!

Oscars, best dressed

Hey everyone,

I have been so ridiculously busy this week I haven't had the time to post about the Oscars. I hope everyone was able to see the award show, or at least flip through it last Sunday. I watched the pre-show, red carpet, and of course the award show itself; my day was pretty jam packed with Oscar festivities.

For the past 4 years I have made a ritual of printing off the online ballot and marking which of the nominees I thought were going to win. This year there were so many great films, it was so hard to choose. Most were so great that I couldn't decide to vote on my personal favorites, or the ones that were most deserving. But all-n-all I was very happy with the winners. I guessed 15 right out of the 24 total awards, I was pretty impressed!

If you weren't able to watch I am sure you have heard about the numerous complaints towards this year's hosts. And I agree with everything I heard, they were pretty awful. Anne's non-stop clapping, and her attempt to being overly fun and 'youthful' was a little much. James Franco, seemed like he was high the whole night and didn't really want to be there. The fact that neither of them are comedians, definitely did not help. The five minutes Billy Crystal was on stage was the funniest, and most entertaining part of the night. Wish he would have hosted the Oscars, maybe next year for his 9th time! Let's just hope for a comedian!

You can't talk about the Oscars if you don't mention the gowns, and this year is no different. Like always there are the best and the worst dressed, but to spare you the agony of having to see Nicole Kidman in Dior or Marisa Tomei (who I love) in the prom-gone-bad dress. I decided to show you my personal favorites. I picked my top 8 gowns at the award show and a few of my favorite looks from the Vanity Fair after party!
