Pretty woman

I saw a skirt at F21 that immediately reminded of the scene when Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman goes to the Kentucky Derby. One of my favorite movies, by the way. I absolutely loved the dress and that hat.

One of my favorite style bloggers (Kansas Couture) happened to buy the same skirt (this happens a lot when you shop at Forever 21). I love when that happens!

I put my own 2012 spin to the classic 90s dress.

Melvin, the machine

After watching this video, I felt like my childhood was robed of an amazing imagination. I mean, I was (still am) a dreamer, but THIS is big. I turned into a kid just watching this production.

Melvin, is a machine. It performs “a simple task as inefficiently as possible, often in the form of a chain reaction”.

Watch the videos below for Melvin the machine AND mini Melvin (it’s travel-sized counterpart).

DOOOOPE.

What do you love

I came across this series on the GOOD website and I am in LOVE. I love being inspired by the simple things in life that make people happy. The things that give us life, energy, excitement…those things are inspiring to me. In the What Do You Love video series, different people share their passions, inspirations and loves. Man, I wish I would’ve come up with this genius idea first.

Here’s one of my favorites:

What do you love? What inspires you?

Met gala ’12

Apparently, last night was the Met Gala. Who knew? I don’t get into all that jazz but I did see a few dresses from the red carpet that I enjoyed.

All of the looks were pretty boring to me. I think I’m over the long elaborate gowns. I’m ready to see some legs. If the gowns weren’t boring, they were over the top. *cough* Beyonce *cough*

Anyhow, here are my favorites from the evening, in order.

#4 – Carey Mulligan wearing Prada

#3 – Nina Dobrev wearing Donna Karan Atelier

#2 – Solange Knowles wearing Rachel Roy

#1 – Ginnifer Goodwin wearing Monique Lhuillier
