great gatsby

2012-05-23T12:01:00.002-07:00

i think i mentioned before how excited i was for this adaptation of one of my favorite novels ever. now the trailer's out and it looks as decadent as gatsby should be. hopefully it won't disappoint come christmas!

ps - leo look quite dapper as gatsby, no?

ask a grown man: hamm style

2012-05-11T11:30:00.000-07:00

the last time rookie mag did this, it was with paul rudd. now it's jon, motherfucking, hamm?!?! i don't know how they are doing it, but i hope they keep at it. best advice - "everyone farts"

met ball 2012

2012-05-08T16:24:00.001-07:00

i'm coming out of hibernating to report on a couple of my favorite looks from the met ball. not a compelte list, mind you, but just some stand outs.

chanel iman looks like a knock-out in this tom ford dress. of course it doesn't hurt to have tom ford as your date by your side.

as hot as chanel looked, beyonce wins. look at that post baby body! dangerous curves ahead!

100 degrees part iii

2012-04-20T08:29:00.000-07:00

part iii! this weekend is going to be nuts. i'm kinda sad the hologram tupac surprise has been spoiled, but i'm excited/creeped out by the whole notion. my childhood dreams of seeing tupac in concert will be semi-realized and i'm actually pretty excited to see the whole gang reunited on stage.

100 degrees part ii

2012-04-19T08:10:00.000-07:00

part ii of my coachella series. the schedule on saturday is PACKED! it's going to be hard to choose which ones to go to.

100 degrees pt i

2012-04-18T11:00:00.001-07:00

despite the fact that i hate the heat, crowds, and loud noises i will be heading into the desert this weekend for the second week of coachella madness. i've been avidly checking the weather and folks, it's going to be 100 degrees this weekend. i hope the 3 different types of sunblock i bought this week in preparation will be enough!

so in honor, i decided to do a post about some of the artists i wanted to see. but it turned out to be too massive, so i'll do it as a three parter.

anyone else going to coachella? or even if you're not, feel free and chime in about some of your favorite acts!

march 25!

2012-03-21T11:45:00.000-07:00

seriously, who else is excited?!?!

hey, boo boo bear

2012-03-07T08:34:00.000-08:00

i've been really loving parks and recreation lately. its even surpassed my beloved 30 rock (gasp!). i recently caught up on all the episodes and there was a scene on the latest episode where i literally laughed out loud. aziz's nicknames for ann were amazing, but the best part was when he said, "i feel like you're embarrassed of me" in that baby voice. i literally died. watch below and be prepared to have yourself a giggle.

grimes//oblivion

2012-03-02T15:43:00.002-08:00

claire boucher's new video for her song, oblivion. so timely, since i just saw her in concert last weekend! this has been a really tough and stressful week work-wise and this video put a smile on my face. i also really need that black and gold sequin jacket!

wes anderson x hyundai

2012-02-28T12:07:00.001-08:00

i rarely watch commercials on tv, but this sunday as i was watching the oscars i noticed these two hyundai commercials. the beginning 2/3 of each commercial did not strike me as an automobile commercial and the first one really caught my eye. well, fast forward to today, and i see that both of these were directed by my favorite, wes anderson. leave it to wes (yes, i'm on a first name basis with him), to make even automobile commercials enjoyable to watch.

*i actually recently bought a hyundai, so i feel like i had something to do with this. probably not, but it's nice thinking that.

2k12 oscar favorites

2012-02-27T16:03:00.002-08:00

my two favorite dresses of the night. i am no fan of gwyneth paltrow, but that tom ford number is gorgeous. say what you will about the cape, it made that outfit.

and ever a favorite of this blog, michelle williams looks amazing in her louis vuitton peplum dress.

and that is a wrap for awards season!

did anyone watch this video from jimmy kimmel? his trailer for "movie: the movie" has almost every star in it!

friday!!!!

2012-02-24T11:19:00.000-08:00

this has been one long hellish week (even though i had monday off) and i'm so glad its FRIDAY! i will be going to the lovely grimes tonight at the echo! i've been listening to her new album non-stop, so i am very excited.

this trailer for lena dunham's new show, girls, puts a smile on my face. i, as a girl in her 20's, can very much relate to the feeling of the show. and PLUS, its produced by judd apatow.

springtime is near

2012-02-21T15:46:00.000-08:00

bits of my outfit today. i'm normally a black/grey kinda gal, but lately really feelin' neons and brights. obsessed with my neon/camel combo socks and my new lilac pants. makes me eager for spring.

2012-02-08T10:31:00.000-08:00

i'm pretty sure everyone's seen this video, but i still wanted to share it. i wasn't so sold on the song, but this video changed my mind. ms. arulpragasam is back to her old shenanigans and i love it. c'mon how badass is doing your nails on top of your car?

and just for fun.

hunger games!!

2012-02-06T10:16:00.000-08:00

i'm so excited! the trailers are pretty meh, but i loved the book so much i'm excited nonetheless. can't wait!

airport x ryan gosling pt ii

2012-02-03T12:06:00.000-08:00

decided to do some more research since my last post on airport gosling style (ie type in "airport ryan gosling" into google images [enjoy]). how can one man look so damn good at the airport? it really is a scientific mystery. happy friday and enjoy these images of gosling at the airport all throughout the weekend. i know i will be as well as wishing i was that dog in the middle picture.

die antwoord x alexander wang

2012-02-01T10:51:00.000-08:00

i've been listening (an enjoying) the new die antwoord album and was pleasantly surprised to see this spring '12 preview for alexander wang featuring ninja and yo-landi.

this is a lot more toned down (and not creepy) than their video for their single "i fink u freeky". the vulture really sums up this video a lot better than i can.

watch the ever-adorable paul rudd answer questions for us ladies for rookie mag. you will find out that he thinks that boobs are "awesome" (but who doesn't?) and make a bad pun (speed....racer). he's the best (even as the dumb bobby newport on parks and recreation).
