Smurf Cake!

My friends and I had a party last weekend for no good reason and I offered to bring a cake (its pretty much expected of me now). I asked what it should look like a someone said a smurf (I think they were joking) but I actually did make it lol! I tried to dye in inside blue, but it was a yellow cake, so the inside was looked green haha but it was still good!

Black and White and EVERTHING Nice!

As, most of you can tell by now - I am very inspired my movies. When I saw the Ralph Lauren SS08 Show, I could not help but to think of Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady". The blacks and whites, frills and exaggerated hats just immediately brought that movie to mind. My favorite scene is at the horse race and EVERYONE is in black, white and grey (here is a link to a clip of that scene) and each woman has a unique hat on. Also, the background of the runway was painted like a horse race, as was the backdrop to the horse race in the movie. I don't know exactly if I would wear each of the RL dresses, for they look to old for me (except the simple black one) but they sure do serve as an inspiration! No wonder practically every girls fashion icon is Audrey!

Marc Jacobs (one of the most BIZARRE shows ever!) and Tracy Reese also caught onto the trend:

Grey Garden

Thanks to Cotton Candy's Whimsical Delights Blog - I have discovered the fabulous Tokyo Spring Fashion Week. Among its unique designers, I discovered a new favorite : Mayumi Sasaki for Lyrics M. The runway was all covered in moss and the girls looked like they were dressed to have a picnic in the English countryside. I loved the straw hats, faded colors, delicate fabrics and unique shapes. The collection also reminded me a LOT Marie Antoinette when she had built her village and spent her time frolicking around! Next spring, I'm thinking vintage straw hats, lace, khaki, and hippie-ish/English countryside touches.

Rag & Bone even caught onto the trend:

Also I read about this play in Teen Vogue and the poster captured my attention and reminds me of this look I'm talking about:

The Ghost That Carries ME Away...

If you love Garden State or other Zack Braff soundtracks, then you will love Searbear's debut disk, The Ghost That Carried Us Away. I love the violin and romantic feel to it, yet it sounds modern and mystical (not in a new age-y way! no!) - some even harvesty (love the odd adjectives?). It makes you wanna skip around or walk quietly through the woods at night. I recommend the ENTIRE CD - you wont be sorry!

and who could resist a band called Seabear - how cute, right?
