Fuckloads of Diamonds

One of the many things that originally drew me to Lily Allen was her fearlessness in delivering blatant honesty. Listening to her album was like hearing all the thoughts a normal person keeps hidden from the world be delivered and packaged in cleverly disguised pop tunes.

See Lily look like a jaded little dollie in her new video for The Fear. Only she could get away with lyrics like these:

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever, I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous

Speaking of hardcore bitches making sweet comebacks, this bitch in particular is fabulous. I am shamelessly enjoying the shit out of Circus thus far.

Chanel-ing Queen Amidala

School and finals kind of makes me want to die, but Chanel's Pre-Fall 2009 collection makes me happy to be alive. In my wildest fantasies, if we ever discover life on another planet, they will dress like this.

Excuse me while I go watch Anastasia and Star Wars all at the same time.

Click here to see more, I beg you.

I like myself the way I am!

Penelope! by Butterfly Interlude

Forever 21 bow bobby pins, Fancy Pocket large button necklaces, Topshop coat, Forever 21 tile scarf, pig snout, random buttons, Miu Miu gloves, Sparkle&Fade strip tights, Loja Melissa shoes

In addition to being one of the cutest movies I've ever seen in my life, Penelope never fails to send my mind into a swirly vortex of colorful, whimsical outfits. The set design is pure eye candy, the story line is sweet enough to melt hearts without being over-the-top cheese, and James McAvoy is the hero. What more could a girl ask for in a movie?

I really enjoyed making these Polyvores. Granted I wouldn't wear these with a pig snout unless it was for Halloween, but I'm pretty sure that more than half of the human population would be completely clueless as to who I was dressed as. Oh well, cuteness does not make much money in the movie business it seems.

Debenhams sparkle beret, Topshop coat, Miss Selfridge crochet top, Hannah Zakari star necklace, Peacocks polka dot skirt, black opaque tights, Topshop bow gloves, Mary Janes

Oh gosh, just looking at this makes my heart swell. Inspired by a five second scene in which Penelope daydreams herself walking around Paris. I will more than likely be making more from this movie since practically every outfit of hers made me want to run to Anthropologie and find anything remotely similar. So cute!

shoot them down and set me free

I have been pining and kind of down in the dumps, but this site has helped cheer me up some:

Kiss Me Daily definitely satisfies the needs of every lover of love, like myself.

Lately, school has been stealing my soul and I haven't had much time for anything else. The most exciting thing that's happened to me recently would be winning the opportunity to go to this event and enjoying some God-given eyecandy in the form of Jackson Rathbone (who deserves his own post..which will probably happen soon). Seriously, Robert Pattinson who?

Il pleut depuis ce matin

Adorable and bizarre with a fairy-tale voice - just the way I like my music! Behold Emilie Simon, one of the cutest things to come out of France. All of her songs serve as glimpses into her unfathomable imagination, teetering between eerily haunting and whimsically childlike melodies which stick to your memory like peanut butter. Her covers of Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and Nirvana's "Come As You Are" completely blow me away.

Have yourself a listen to a few of my favorites off her US debut album, the Flower Book. Not a Francophile? Never fear, for Emilie sings in both English and French.
