It's been my favorite road trip so far, and I saw so many incredible new things for the first time.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday: <i>Oakland</i></span></b><br />
The main reason for our trip up the coast was to see one of our all time favorite bands, Brand New (plus Joyce Manor, who opened for them and we also love). A 6 hour trip sounds crazy for one band, but they mean so much to us. We stayed with my friend Karen in San Francisco and the trip to Oakland from there was about half an hour. It was me, Karen, and Nicole's first time seeing them, and the show was unforgettable, as expected.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday: <i>San Francisco</i></b></span><br />
We had the whole day to explore the city the day after the show and Karen was kind enough to take us around San Francisco. Being typical tourists, we ended up hitting landmarks such as the Pier, Ghiradelli Square and Lombard Street. Karen also showed us gems such as Japantown (where we got yummy + cute crepes) and Amoeba Records.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday<i>: Ride home through the Coast </i></b></span><br />
Our time in SF was short but sweet, and although we wanted to spend more time in the city, we decided to head home early Saturday morning and take our time going back home taking PCH. I'm very grateful that we decided to do this because I got to see places I had never been to before.<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>Santa Cruz</b></i><br />
Our first pit stop was in Santa Cruz, where we saw the abandoned (but interesting looking) Red Castle. We ate lunch at Pizza My Heart, a pizza shop unique to NorCal residents where you can order a pizza meal that includes a slice + a shirt with their logo & the location you're at. The pizza is served on a frisbee! We ended up at Streetlight Records for a little bit of shopping as well. I recommend that store if you're a record junkie, their selection is wonderful and the price is way cheaper than ones back home.<br />

<i><b>Big Sur</b></i></div>
Next was Big Sur/Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. If anyone reading is from California or visiting California, I highly suggest visiting these places. Being around nature this beautiful makes you feel so small and really makes you appreciate your surroundings. Something about seeing Big Sur in person made me so happy to be a human and alive on this planet and has inspired me to try to travel more and see more like it in person.<br />

The last stop on our journey home was Downtown San Luis Obispo. We hung out for about an hour in its little college town, getting--not one, but TWO--rounds of coffee to keep us awake for the drive home (which, I highly advise against unless it's appropriate for the situation). Kreuzberg Coffee + Book bar is my favorite coffee spot there, and has a very cozy, laid back feel. Plus, their vanilla lattes are out of this world.<br />

If you're like me and spent every last dollar Leslie Knope'ing up your Christmas presents, but still have a heart full of wanderlust that must get you out of town, I've got the perfect idea for your month long time off...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A Road Trip!</b></div>
Who doesn't love a good road trip? Gas is astonishingly cheap right now, you have time off, and your friends have time off as well. Fill a car up with your pals and pick a cool destination to drive off to.<br />
Since I'm from the OC area, I have a list in my head of go-to places that aren't too far, but if you're reading from someplace else, research places to go to!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my suggestions for those of you from California.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Not too far:</i></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Joshua Tree.</b> Spending a nice quiet weekend camping with good friends sounds like an ideal trip to me. You can stargaze, explore, and appreciate the quietness. Just bring tons of blankets!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Salvation Mountain. </b><span id="docs-internal-guid-093fe922-4d51-b3c4-a8dd-267e5ab6d3d4"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A hidden gem of California, Salvation Mountain is a beautiful walk-through giant art piece created by the late Leonard Knight. Make sure to take a camera with you for cool snaps.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Palm Springs/Palm Desert.</b> My friends and I fell in love with this area when we stayed there for Coachella. It's cute, quirky, and you can get some good shopping in as well. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Cm045xtMWlGt7BGqqF8v2cx0itYGslBd3ZEfYYAsRtTUiS7syQJi8eEP3Qht6r21xbNMRMCUm51OtdVby6PiU0cWx02gmXiWUneknEr1mQnLIEOzvjJ0e-voEcByR1EbSJdNj4U3GDM/s1600/IMG_5558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Cm045xtMWlGt7BGqqF8v2cx0itYGslBd3ZEfYYAsRtTUiS7syQJi8eEP3Qht6r21xbNMRMCUm51OtdVby6PiU0cWx02gmXiWUneknEr1mQnLIEOzvjJ0e-voEcByR1EbSJdNj4U3GDM/s1600/IMG_5558.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>

<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>San Luis Obispo.</b> Perfect small college town filled with cute shops and cafes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Big Sur National Park. </b>It's a bit of a drive but there's nothing else in this world quite like it. I can't explain the beauty of it in words or photographs, it's just something you need to see and experience with your own eyes.</span></span></li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Pacific North West</b>. I've always wanted to plan a road trip starting from Southern California going all the way up to Washington and making little stops along the way (Big Sur, San Francisco, Portland, and stopping in Seattle). This involves a little extra time but the experience would be way worth it.</span></span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">San Francisco. </b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm a bit biased because SF is one of my favorite cities on the planet, but there really is so much to do. It's harder to be bored than to keep yourself busy there! Explore the pier, Lombard Street, and The Golden Gate Bridge. Good eats are a must in the city as well. Some recommendations: New England Lobster Co., Pizza Delfina, and any of their yummy food trucks.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Mammoth Lakes. </b>One of my best friends, Sadie (<a href="http://observatoryheart.com/">observatoryheart.com</a>) is lucky enough to call this magnificent part of California her hometown, and from what I've seen in her photos, it looks like something out of a movie or a fairytale. "Looney Bean is my favorite coffee spot and Stellar Brew is another great coffee spot with freaking delicious treats like vegan donuts and carrot cake muffins with cream cheese frosting," Sadie advises. </span></span></li>
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>***TIP: </i></b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Driving up there in the snow may be a bit difficult so make sure to do the trip in a reliable car/someone who has experience driving in the snow.</span></li>

HAIM is composed of sisters Este (age 28), Danielle (age 25) and Alana (age 23) who not only play bass, guitar, drums, and sing, but also have the most killer fashion sense. They make casual outfits (that you'd probably wear out to run errands) look chic as hell and have perfected the tomboy-meets-girly aesthetic.<br />

I know it's been a while but I've been thinking about revamping the site a bit. A few old posts have been deleted, due to my goal to take Skeletal Swank to a bit of a new direction.<br />
One thing that I want to change, is adding a monthly playlist to the blog.<br />
<br />

It's that spooky time of the year again, Halloween season! If you're still stuck on trying to find a costume at this point no worries, I got you covered.<br />
<br />
<b>1) Alien</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101449482"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JGlli7rwuhQ/Umd_ijlUwJI/AAAAAAAABNY/H7YkrVQgkws/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.49.48+AM.png" height="288" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This is my personal top choice for this year's Halloween costume. For the main base of the costume, try to find a lot of green, metallic, or holographic colors (mix and match tops and skirts, dresses, etc). Add a cute alien antenna headband from the dollar store, or even do two mini buns at the top of your head. Makeup's the fun part-- experiment with a bunch of funky colors, glitter, colorful fake lashes, and body jewlery!<br />
<br />
<b>2) Daria from <i>Daria</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101451809"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x-e4fjSj04Q/Umd_aU9s0XI/AAAAAAAABNQ/d4eRmfyKFHU/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.49.41+AM.png" height="309" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The biggest cynical teen on TV is an easy costume to throw together. All you need is a green jacket, some sort of orange top, a black skirt, combat boots, round glasses, and an unimpressed pout.<br />
<br />
<b>3) Tourist</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101452655"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TR7BA5MJaZE/Umd_Fc75SuI/AAAAAAAABNI/LacX7qv583k/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.47.43+AM.png" height="228" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This one's something you can put together with stuff around the house as well as thrift stores! Find a tacky looking hawaiian shirt from the men's section at Goodwill. Pair with high waisted shorts, converse, and accessorize with a backpack/fanny pack, binoculars/a camera, and Disneyland ears or a visor. Keep makeup basic, and add a dot of sunscreen on your nose/cheeks.<br />
<br />
<b>4) Cher from <i>Clueless</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101452977"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cnk5ZeHoKp4/Umd_EJ8SuJI/AAAAAAAABNA/kbZkBiQE7Xs/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.47.36+AM.png" height="273" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
America's favorite blonde is making a comeback this year, from Wildfox's collection, to plaid skirts raiding every closet. Cher's signature head to toe yellow outfit is one you can master without buying much.<br />
<br />
<b>5) <i>American Horror Story: Coven </i>witches</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101453241"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yzwysyZFt0U/Umd-7TVQ4gI/AAAAAAAABM4/LwGntCeAoKo/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.47.29+AM.png" height="306" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
October also means the return of one of the greatest modern television shows of this generation. Channel your inner teen witch with a look based on the supernatural girls of American Horror Story: Coven. You really only need 3 basic pieces: gothic looking black dress, paired with tights, a black wide brim hat, and large sunglasses.<br />
<br />
<b>6) Princess Peach</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101453849"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPDB5jX5dp6tD3X1OflwUYy-S-hQM264e-fiMhJE4w7zpbiOe_rr-kTVZdQaQuQ5WLp55g5gEHQEW8If0z_d482M392FwnFHRa-XPyyAnW83iG522pWGNLLrCh3Rtr8q7Gx8oObjOBmPw/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.44.50+AM.png" height="285" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
Princess Peach is a cute and easy DIY costume that doesn't take much to make! Just check around local cheap stores or thrift stores for a high collar, cap sleeved skater-style dress. You can create your own crown and brooch with stuff from art supply stores (I personally love Joanne's), and buy some evening gloves from a costume store. For shoes, you can't go wrong with white converse or nice cream colored oxfords. Make sure to add bright blue statement earrings, wave your hair, and top it with a peachy pink lip color.<br />
<br />
<b>7) Margaux Tenenbaum</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101455986"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IyvABqQX0Vg/Umd-djGvD5I/AAAAAAAABMg/Ec4-2vwfXQE/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.44.43+AM.png" height="279" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This one's gonna take a little more time and looking to achieve the perfect look. Margaux from Wes Anderson's <i>The Royal Tenenbaums</i> (go see it if you haven't, it's one of my favorites). Look around thrift stores for a giant fur coat, under it wear a blue dress with a collar (to be more true to the character, see if you can find a striped polo dress). To accessorize, pile on the heavy eyeliner, straighten your hair to a side part with a barrett clip, wear loafers and an oversized tan purse.<br />
<br />
<b>8) Marie from the <i>Aristocats</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101456141"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIDziuzZgrnYulXzo3sckedEVO34iaqFEKodtR14M6L8i_4ZaG8tKnyXBhXIUrmiP3wSPdDmjjC2i_wHoXEk18rN1OqqQe6rtBE1Uy18QmLxUZDqXTDMZS_s6zl02UIUkQQnPJT1g1Ck/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.44.37+AM.png" height="271" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
This one's an easy last minute costume with a twist. It's the classic cat costume, but all white and pink! Take white cat ears, a white top/skirt or dress, and white shoes. Between your cat ears, make a little bun at the top of your head (with the rest of your hair down) and tie it with a pink bow. Wear a pink bow around your neck, a pink belt (optional), and don't forget to add cute whiskers and a nose with black eyeliner.<br />
Another cat costume you can do with a twist is Luna from Sailor Moon (wear all black. use a post it note to create a crescent moon, use eyelash glue to attatch to forehead.)<br />
<br />
<b>9) Minnie Mouse</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13/set?id=101456357"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJr-QpF-HXo5fWzzM625-_0nh7Ab0DfpkeOfy_rBXUQeGoUQwtOvkYf254Dy00lRJbHYvAQe7XejLNgpPPhy-9BdFNxf-7qMVXriwooteeqDnZhw4q8IkWzSDBq7DXQLBzl0Wm1vxlB4/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.42.12+AM.png" height="311" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This is a classic. I was Minnie a couple years ago when I was in a crunch for a Disney themed Halloween costume and it turned out great. You have several options for the base piece: a red polka dotted dress, a red polka dotted top with a black skirt, or a black top with a polka dotted skirt. If you cant find red polka dotted pieces, you can take a plain red top or skirt and polka dot it yourself with puffy paint. Pair with red tights, Minnie ears, and either yellow flats or black shoes.<br />
<br />
<b>10) Spinelli from <i>Recess</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=101456612"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3-W_GDXz7sd_eLUBVAGrXD-kvdqbfaMLakbg6cfZpRUTFIXkFUwsuuxp0X22wwWpu6pQ8hequC5HthSHucM2bRzfO-mtSgrbK2FbdnmkbLZrltyEAuTH1MmSlSbl_qbX4gmi-LMa_DR8/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.42.42+AM.png" height="275" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
This is another great one to put together with items in your closet or to easily pick up at your local Target. Spinelli only needs her rebellious leather moto jacket, a red dress, a mustard-yellow beanie, striped knee high socks, and combat boots. For hair, make sure to get her pigtails, tied with red hair ties.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>11) Britney Spears in the "Baby One More Time" music video</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/halloween_13_11/set?id=101457349"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iCHdnnHZ0AQS7eiDAhNe3Ien6AnoWXEiZmshiORD98LpPBH7gM-l4fCnxPo0U5lVDMDp2HF5wTh9F7gZJIJkBuDpCYvaQwY8VsgHl9WSf6RhzuCWALWcJT-iDhtOC5C_Hg79CisJEFM/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-10-23+at+12.17.41+AM.png" height="291" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
I've been wanting to do this look for so long, so hopefully soon....or next year or something. All you need is a classic white button up top that you can tie (leave last couple buttons unbuttoned to achieve this), a grey cardigan, a plaid or dark colored skirt, a purple bralet/bandeau, grey knee highs, and black shoes. Acessorize with fuzzy pink hair ties and scrunchies for her pigtails!<br />
*I've also seen the idea of "Britney through the ages" which is a fun idea for groups (Britney circa "Slave 4 U", Britney circa Circus, Britney in "Oops! I Did it Again")<br />
<br />
Well, there you have it! If you have any other cool DIY last minute costume ideas, leave a comment down below! Have a happy and safe Halloween!<br />

<ul>
<li>Summer 2013/Europe: One of the biggest/most important parts of my life happened. I lived in England this summer, with a weekend trip to Paris and I can honestly say it was the most incredible and breathtaking experience of my whole existence. I miss it every day. Here are a few shots, but I am thinking of making a cool lil photo journal for you guys soon of more photos.</li>

This edition of Muse of the Moment is pretty special--I'm featuring my favorite British gals in honor of me finalizing my study abroad trip this summer (I'm gonna be living in England for a month and a half!!!! Heck ya!!!). I chose some of my favorites and lemme tell you now, it was hard narrowing down my favorite outfits of theirs!</div>

Eleanor is widely known around the world as Louis Tomlinson of One Direction's stylish and gorgeous girlfriend. Calder's style is perfection: starting from her perfectly tousled waves in a center part that girls have tried to perfect (including me), to her perfectly poised outfits.<br />

Everybody's favorite teen witch is making her way up, becoming one of the most idolized style icons in the world. Watson can pull of pretty much anything, whether it be grungy, classy, or casual; and can proved that she can pull off any hairstyle by having Hermione Granger's outrageous curls, a mid length natural look, a pixie cut, and a bob.<br />

Cara is one of my favorite models; she knows how to be silly and at 20, is not afraid to act youthful. Cara's style is tomboyish, as she often sports beanies, sneakers, leather jackets, and jeans/shorts.<br />

Rita Ora is an up and coming artist who i think is just BEAUTIFUL. Although she gets compared to Rihanna a lot, I think Rita has a style unique to her own. She, like bff Cara Delevingne, has a tomboy sort of style but this is mixed with an electric grunge sort of feel as well. </div>

Perrie, part of the "next Spice Girls" girl group Little Mix, is one of my favorite new fashion icons of this year! She is straight up adorable and wears whatever she wants. One of my favorite looks of hers is her signature bright colored hair (it varies from pastel pink to lavender, and I believe it is currently blonde and pink!)<br />

Last but not least is a fashion icon veteran. I remember reading about Agyness in my copy of Teen Vogue way back in '07ish when I was in 7th grade and making a fashion collage on my wall with her on it. Agyness is the epitome of British grunge fashion, and rocks her signature platinum pixie cut.<br />

Hey guys! I'm starting a new feature where I will be posting a photo journal from stuff in my life such as trips, concerts, vacations, and all around days where I do stuff I find interesting enough to post. Here's my first one, a collective post of what I did over spring break, all in polaroid pictures.<br />

Hey everyone! Today is the first day of April, which means the kickoff of festival season has officially begun. Whether you've had tickets to the ever-so-popular hipster fest Coachella since December, or are ready to throw on your favorite cowboy boots for the country filled Stagecoach, or are even early planning for punk rock summer jams at Vans Warped Tour, I've got some outfit and packing inspiration for you right here.<br />

This is quite a while away, but hey, why not throw it in the mix. Warped Tour is my favorite festival of all time, and this will actually be my 5th year in a row going! This consists of a more punk-rocky casual vibe so go crazy with ideas!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT TO PACK/GENERAL TIPS FOR Y'ALL</span></b><br />
-DRINK AND BRING WATER! "Stay hydrated if you do drugs in the desert" -Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast, Coachella 2011<br />
-Pack in advance so you make sure you don't forget anything!<br />
-Carry cash and store it in a safe place. Festivals usually only take cash for stuff like food and merchandise, and although there may be ATMs, it will be safer to carry cash than a credit/debit card and you don't have to worry about the service fee the ATM would withdraw.<br />
-(As pictured in Coachella set #1) Bring multiple pairs of sunglasses. You never know what could happen to those babies, whether it be losing them, getting crushed in a crowd/mosh pit/getting stolen, etc. Make sure not to bring super expensive ones because it would be devastating to have one of those things happen to them.<br />
-Get enough sleep the night before! You don't want to miss out on the experience if you're tired the whole day, it will make you feel weak and constantly exhausted.<br />
-Always have SPF Chapstick/tinted lip balm on you. I suggest the latter, since it's like having lipstick with protection!<br />
-AS WELL AS SUNBLOCK! This especially applies to Warped Tour. I can't tell you enough how much I regretted not wearing it back in '10 when i got a sunburn tan line from my crossbody bag.....<br />
-Avoid gray tops. I guarantee you'll sweat an unholy amount at these events and gray is the color that most obviously shows sweat. To avoid the embarrassment of pit or back stains, stick with neutral colors.<br />
-Even though i have several black pieces on here, be mindful of the weather and how you react to heat. Black attracts heat easily so if you can't deal well with the heat, try lighter colors<br />
-Bring a light jacket/flannel/cardigan with you. These festivals last the entire day so you'll need this when it starts to get cold. As shown in Warped Tour set #2, you can bring a flannel and grunge up and outfit by tying it to your waist.<br />
-BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, MAKE GOOD CHOICES!<br />
<br />

I know this is quite late, as it is the middle of January, but I'm obsessed with movies so I thought it would be appropriate to have a countdown of my top favorite movies of 2012! 2012 did very well movie-wise so it was quite hard to narrow these down, but enjoy!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10) Project X</b>.</span><br />
I thought this was going to be another stupid teenage movie about a nerdy kid throwing party to become popular that would with the parents getting home and said nerdy kid rushing to clean the house and him being able to make it on time...but I was wrong. This movie really was great, I love how it was filmed and it had a killer soundtrack and I found it funny with an original ending!<br />

My friends and I were having a scary movie night and all agreed that we all really liked this! The plot was super original and had me super confused and shocked and laughing all at the same time. It's the perfect mixture of horror, comedy, and thriller.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">8) The Amazing Spiderman</span></b><br />
So i gotta admit, the main reason I went to see this was for Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield; I'm obsessed with the two. I was a little hesitant because I love the original Spiderman and I'm obsessed with Marvel movies so I had high expectations. It exceeded all of them, and although it was 2 hours long, it sped by fast and I liked it better than the original, mainly because it had more comedy<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">7) The Dark Knight Rises</b><br />
I don't even know where to start with this. Amazing. Spectacular. Very very VERY well done, from the directing to the acting to the cinematography, costumes editing....EVERYTHING was spectacular. If you haven't seen it, run to your nearest Red Box now. Hell, i'll even pay for your rental fee JUST GO SEE IT.<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">6) Silver Linings Playbook</b><br />
I had heard about all the hype over this, my mom kept telling me to see it because it was so funny, and when I went ahead and did see it, it did not disappoint. The perfect mixture of drama and comedy. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper make the perfect pair, and Chris Tucker was my favorite in it. The editing was really well done as well.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">5) 21 Jump Street</span></b><br />
Easily one of my favorite comedies of all time. I can quote it, and I did the happiest dance ever when it was on sale at Target on DVD. I can watch it over and over and laugh so hard til I cry every time.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">4) Les Miserables</span></b><br />
I saw this on Christmas day with my aunt and cousin and when they told me it was going to be an operetta (all singing, not much dialogue) I thought it was going to be a long 2 and a half hours. I found it very enjoyable to watch! I cried, no shame. It was a beautiful movie and I especially loved Anne Hathaway, Sascha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Bark, and Hugh Jackman in it. Everyone gave such a beautiful performance, especially since it was all sung live.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3) The Perks of Being a Wallflower</b></span><br />
My best friend in gave me this book for my birthday in 7th grade, and it quickly became my favorite book of all time (it still is, to this day). When I heard they were making a movie of it, I was excited and nervous at the same time; I didn't want the book to change! However, the author, Stephen Chbosky, was the director and screenplay writer for the movie and I have to say, he did an INCREDIBLE job. I honestly think it's Oscar-worthy.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">2) Pitch Perfect</span></b><br />
My all-time favorite comedy of the year. I ended up seeing it in the theater 3 times. I wasn't expecting much but I ended up laughing so hard in it! Huge shoutout to Adam Devine and Rebel Wilson for being especially funny, to Skylar Astin for being a dreamboat, and to whoever decided to honor the Breakfast Club in it.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">1) Moonrise Kingdom</span></b><br />
Hands down the best movie of the year. The cinematography was BEAUTIFUL, the story was so original and cute and all around perfect. I loved the mixture of having new kid actors in contrast to the veterans (Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton).skeletalswankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06983557334876862609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166048085877969570.post-26840251583618014312012-11-17T01:30:00.002-08:002013-03-25T17:00:06.372-07:00Obsessions: iPhone CasesHi everyone!<br />
<br />
Okay so exciting news! I'm finally joining the iPhone crew. I know I'm probably like 2 years late on this, but bear with me--I finally have a job to pay for montly data \m/ I'm planning on getting it this week, and I'm on the hunt for the perfect case. Knowing myself, I need multiple cases because places like Etsy make such cute ones it's hard to just stick with one. Berna over from <a href="http://sharktoothsummer.blogspot.com/">shark tooth summer</a> has inspired me to create a post dedicated to some of the cutest iPhone cases out there, and some potential ones for my own!<br />
<br />
For now, I need to stick with a protective case because being the clutz I am, it's going to be dropped at one point or another and there is no WAY my saved up paycheck/babysitting money/allowance is going to waste. I have an idea on how to make a protective case fab, which I will elaborate on next time with a DIY.<br />
<br />
Here's my iPhone case wishlist, for any of you who were wondering (hey, Christmas is coming up ;)<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1) Toast a slice of Whole Wheat bread (white is okay, but just remember--white bread is filled with sugars and is actually really bad for you. Whole wheat is a much healthier option!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2) Slice an avocado in half, and slice one half up</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">3) Mash together the sliced 1/2 avocado in a small bowl until it's just a little lumpy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">4) Season with whatever you want! I personally love garlic powder, sea salt, and a little bit of pepper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">5) Spread on toast! You can even add a little more toppings over it, like more pepper or even a couple of dashes of hot sauce.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's super filling and super fast to make, so this is perfect if you're about to leave for school and don't have time to make a big breakfast. It also serves as an awesome snack if you're feeling hungry before dinner, or as a lunch with a big side of fruit!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Greek Yogurt/Brown sugar dip for strawberries INSTEAD OF whipped cream or chocolate</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've got a sweet tooth and an obsession with strawberries but don't like sour strawberries, I've got the perfect dip for you. My mom created it years ago and I love dipping my strawberries in this instead of whipped cream or anything too sugary!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Steps:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1) Slice up some strawberries</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2) Take a tablespoon full of Greek Yogurt (I love Fage, but there's also Chobani!) and mix it with about half a teaspoon-1 teaspoon of light brown sugar (this really depends on the taste you want, i usually mix and taste to see how I like the taste.) This should taste like Yogurtland's tart yogurt!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">3) Dip the strawberries in!</span><br />

Ah, October. The month where the weather isn't as hot as the Sahara, where Starbucks breaks out its famous delicious Pumpkin Spice lattes and Salted Caramel frappuccinos, where Disney Channel/ABC Family finally plays all our favorite (and cheesy) childhood spooky movies, and best of all: Halloween.</div>

Although it's not for another 25 days, I've got some ideas if you're stuck on what to be. Enjoy!</div>

<b>Ariel from <i>The Little Mermaid</i>: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Easy! Just head to your nearest American Apparel and pick up a sea-green colored maxi skirt. Pair it with (if you're feeling daring) a cute purple bandeau or a purple tank top. Cute accessories include a starfish clip that you can grab from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/81251327/small-sugar-starfish-hair-clip-barrette?ref=sr_gallery_12&ga_search_query=starfish&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto2&ga_explicit_scope=1&ga_search_type=handmade">Etsy</a>, and a fork. If you feel like going the extra mile, Joanne's fabrics has tons of different colored sequined fabrics that you can buy: take a sheet of it, and tie it around your waist like you would with a <a href="http://www.sarongboutique.com/bridge_to_bali.htm">Hawaiian sarong</a>. Just be sure to wear some cute green spandex underneath! You can also search for red wigs online too if you feel your hair isn't mermaid-y enough.</div>

Good news, this costume is extremely versatile! You can wear anything from a black skater or bodycon dress, to a bustier with a circle skirt (shown in photo), or leather pants with a tank. My take, in the photo above, includes a black circle skirt and black bustier. For makeup, take black eyeliner and draw whiskers and a little black nose on your face, wear a cat eye with liquid liner, and bold red lipstick. Top the look of with black flats (they even make kitty flats now!) or chunky heels like the JC Lita.</div>

Are you a huge TV freak like me? My favorite show of all time is NBC's <i>Parks and Recreation</i>. If you're obsessed with the show like me, you'll know all about Leslie Knope's Pawnee Goddesses. Sport this look for halloween with shorts, a lavender or purple colored t-shirt/tank top, sneakers, a green colored bandana around your neck, and a <a href="http://www.handsoccupied.com/2011/10/how-to-pawnee-goddess-costume/">homemade Pawnee Goddess vest</a>. Go the extra mile by drawing a Pioneer girl watching her grandmother get trampled by a buffalo on your arm.</div>

<b>Pebbles Flintstone:</b></div>
<div>
In a HUGE rush to create a last minute cute costume? No worries! Pebbles Flintstone from <i>The Flintstones</i> is just a couple steps away! Take an oversized lime-green tee from a craft store (it will probably be about $3-4), some black fabric, and a turquoise body con skirt or spandex shorts. Take the oversized tee and cut the sleeves out, and make the bottom jagged. Cut out random geometric shapes out of the black fabric and sew (or staple....i have definitely done this before in a time crunch) them onto the tee. throw it on over the body con skirt, and tie your hair into a high ponytail! If you are doing this long beforehand, Etsy has <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/107299623/classic-white-pebbles-hair-bone-clips?ref=sr_gallery_10&ga_search_query=bone+clip&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all">cute bone clips</a> that you can attach to your ponytail for the full look.</div>

Tim Burton's <i>Beetlejuice</i> is the definition of Halloween. Actually, most of his movies are...Either way, if you wanna narrow down a costume from his characters to one, Lydia Deetz is the perfect choice. It's simple. Black on Black on Black! Take everything black you own and I'm sure you can put together an outfit for her with it. My take includes a black sweater, a black tulle skirt, black tights, black flats, black nail polish, and of course: a black sun hat. It's simple, really! Top it off with some gel to create her signature bangs, and a camera around your neck.</div>

<b>Wednesday Addams:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a classic costume for all you who want to take a step on the goth side. Wednesday from <i>The Addams Family</i> is a misanthropic little girl, so black is the main theme of this outfit. Luckily, her signature dress is very in style at the moment so it wouldn't be so hard to find one (make sure it's black with a white collar!). Pigtail braids and tights complete the outfit!</div>

<b>The Statue of Liberty:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Represent America with this out of the blue costume! Simply pair a skirt and tank together in the same color range (turquoise, teal, etc). Drape a long cloth, toga-style, over the outfit in a sheer version of the color. Add a Lady Liberty headpiece (on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Statue-Liberty-One-Head-Piece/dp/B00362RW6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349577276&sr=8-1&keywords=lady+liberty+hat">Amazon</a>), a fake torch, teal MAC lipstick, and some teal nail polish. Top it off with some teal face paint!</div>

<b>Toddler Pageant Queen:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone's favorite guilty pleasure, <i>Toddlers and Tiaras</i>, has us disgusted and amazed at the little girls going all out in heaps of makeup, enough hairspray to destroy the air, and their signature fake spray tans. For a hilarious take on this outfit, take a simple pink (or any BRIGHT color of your choice) tank, a poofy tutu or petticoat, and blinged out EVERYTHING. Tease your hair to the extreme (or even get a blonde wig), use a temporary fake tan, and carry a blinged out pacifier on a necklace around your neck. Make Honey Boo Boo proud!</div>

What are you thinking of being for Halloween? Did any of these choices help?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a happy October! ^~^</div>

<br />
<b>Selina Kyle/Cat Woman</b><br />
<br />
<i>The Dark Knight Rises</i> was AMAZING, and watching the movie is what actually gave me the idea for this post. Hathaway's outfits as Cat Woman were super fierce and sexy in the movie and I played up a more casual version of it.<br />

<b>Gwen Stacy</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My 2nd favorite movie this summer was <i>The Amazing Spiderman</i>. Oh man, actually scratch that. It's tied for my favorite along with <i>TDKR</i>. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's chemistry in that movie was so cute, and Gwen Stacy's (Stone's character) wardrobe was adorably preppy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last, but not least, is Black Widow. I haven't seen <i>The Avengers</i> yet but I have seen <i>Iron Man 2</i>. Scarlett Johannessen killed it as Black Widow, and similarly to Cat Woman, she donned a lot of leather and red. </div>

Known for being contestants on the UK's The X Factor, they rose to fame with their catchy dance-and-singable "What Makes You Beautiful" and made it even bigger with their first album, Up All Night. One Direction (also known to fans and tumblr'ers as 1D) not only has a band full of attractive, dashing young teenagers with stellar singing talents, but they also add a bonus that every girl dreams of: amazing style. Check out some of they boys' looks, as they dress up in velvet blazers and bowties, or dress down in suspenders and colored jeans:<br />

Sky is only a year older than me, yet her fabulousness is ridiculous. Her style is more like schoolgirl punk which i'm in love with. She wears a lot of oversized sweaters with skirts, chunky heels, Doc Martens, short dresses, red lipstick, and her signature voluminous curly hair. I also suggest listening to her music, she's all I've been listening to lately! My favorite tracks are <i>Seventeen, 99 Tears, 108, One, </i>and<i> Sex Rules!</i> Here are some of her looks:<br />

I'm on vacation and was unlucky enough to catch the flu and as a result, stuck in bed for 3 days. The upside? Old TV episodes! I've been catching up on season 3 of 90210 and i can say that it's my new guilty pleasure. My favorite character, Ivy, is a casual-cool surfer girl in a high maintenance city. Ivy is played by the beautiful Gillian Zinser, who's style i am obsessed with at the moment! She dresses very boho-indie mixed with a laid back California feel that she manages to pull off both on the show and off. Here are some of her looks:</div><br />

This is pretty late, but I've been busy and have been meaning to do this! I grew up with Harry Potter in my life. I remember watching Sorcerer's Stone with my dad and brother at home and fast forwarding the parts with Voldemort because i was scared of him ;) Bonding with my family friends in San Fransisco over our obsession with it and watching Chamber of Secrets countless times. Discussing the books with my old elementary school friend. It was even the glue that brought together me and my best friend of 8 years! Now that it's over, I feel like a part of me is missing, knowing that no more books or movies will be made. I dedicate this post to my favorite looks from the final movie's premiere :)</div>

First off, the princess of class and fashion, Miss Emma Watson! Watson kept it fantasy-like in a sheer sleveless Oscar de la Renta gown with a tulle skirt and an emroidered bodice. Her pixie haircut and gray-lavendar dress made her look like a fairy.</div>

Now, I'm not gonna lie: I honestly don't even know the difference between a tux and a suit (yeeeeeeeah yeah laugh!), and pretty much suck at guy fashion. But what i can tell you, is that the dudes of HP looked ravishing at the premiere, very drool-worthy!</div>

Daniel Radcliffe has grown up so much since we were first introduced to him as the boy who lived. He looked very handsome and mature in gray!<br />

Everyone's favorite sidekick, Ron Weasley potrayed by Rupert Grint is known to rock wacky getups to events (in previous years he has donned converse and a hot topic-esque Harry Potter tee under his suit), and he tops it off this year in an alligator skin printed suit!<br />

Sexy bad boy, Tom Felton, who plays Syltherin-turned-Death Eater, Draco Malfoy, looks absolutely dapper in a silk blue button up paired with a skinny black tie.<br />

From across the pond, we have a surprise guest: America's favorite Gleek, Darren Criss! Criss is a part of Team StarKid, who created/acted in "A Very Potter Musical", in which Criss played Harry Potter. Obviously ecstatic about the premiere, he takes a jump in a blue suit, red tie, and oxfords.<br />

But the look that dropped jaws at the premiere, was Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom. My guess is that the same thing went through everyone's mind as they saw him: <i>Puberty was very kind to you, sir</i>. Lewis looked elegant in black, showing off his dazzling white smile, with a mystery (and might i add LUCKY!) date at his side. </div>

Perfect timing, since Neville's swag is easily shown in the final chapter of the series ;)<br />
<br />
Last but not least, we must not forget the queen of magic herself! J.K. Rowling looked very age-appropriate in a pea-green Oscar De la Renta gown, which was embroidered with real carnation pink flowers!<br />

So, if this isn't enough for you non-Potter Heads to go out and see the movie i don't know WHAT is! No really, see the final installment. Oh, and bring Kleenex. .....Lots of Kleenex! </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Miley Cyrus, one of my biggest fashion inspirations. Every time i'm stuck in a fashion dilemma and can't think of what to wear, i look at her outfits for inspiration. Despite all the hate she gets, I look up to her for being classy, cute, and collected. Her outfit on a trip to Universal Studios (pictured) is one of my favorites.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
