Truth Behind Art and Some Hair Envy

I recently saw "The Ides of March" with a friend and really appreciated the movie and it's edge-of-your-seat-storyline. I expected to enjoy the movie, considering the ultra strong male cast- George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Phillip Seymour Hoffman- and the 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film does a good job reflecting the duplicity that is so present in modern-day politics and the unfortunate insignificance of women in this field, and does it in a way that I believe translates to all people- knowledgeable or not on the subject of government. But anyways, you should really see it yourself, I do recommend it.

Now, to the hair envy! Marisa Tomei, plays a New York Times reporter covering the campaign and all the corruption involved, and seriously, I really adored her look. The super-side part, the big-framed glasses, the super-casual attire. I've read a couple reviews of the film, some claiming her to be frumpy and frantic. You know what, I don't get the whole frumpy thing, but messy, I would understand. And I'm okay with liking a totally messy character. It definitely worked for her. And besides, what else would a journalist for the New York Times covering a national political campaign look like?

Sparkle from Zara

As sparkle is everywhere nowadays, this season especially, it has caught my eye. Of course I plan to include some shiny metallic sparkle-ness to my holiday looks, and I love how Zara incorporated the sparkle into these two looks without that taking over...

Runnin' In Style

When I spend my days running around, which happens very often, I love to wear something comfortable but cute at the same time. Basically, my perfect everyday ensemble consists of a pair of distressed jeans, a graphic tee, and a pair of flat shoes. A small, polished (and sometimes bright) clutch adds just the perfect amount of charm and sophistication to my tee + jeans combination. These clutches from asos are absolutely perfect, and I will now add them to my wishlist. Pick up one of your own, they're only $36 and a great addition to any wardrobe.

Lookbook Lusting

With so much studying for finals I have going on here, and so much time spent on the computer, a well-deserved break every now and then leads me to my all-time favorite online store. Threadsence is amazing! If these photos don't convince you, head over to their website. You can thank me later.
