“The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist.”

I found these pictures from the Italian vogue... they show EXACTLY what Olivia and I will look like on our euro trip next mouth! In fact I think they are exact copies of us- we do travel in such style! We will be traveling to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva, Venice, Florence and Rome. It will defiantly be an adventure at the very least!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend ...and a man's worst enemy

 It's summer and I have way to much time then I know what too do with, I wish I was spending more time at the beach but Olivia and I have been super busy making frantic arrangements for our Euro trip ( details later!) and watching as many world cup football games as possible!    My 16th birthday is coming up, and in our house we kind of have a tradition that when you turn sixteen you get a piece of jewelry of your choice! Well I have decided after long deliberation that rings are mighty fine accessories to have and with that idea I've kinda gone crazy looking for the one , the one ring worthy of such great honor :)- here are some of the ones that are in the running ... I'm really liking some of these knuckle rings!   

Spent WAY to much time on polyvore.com, but it was fun while it lasted:

Marchesa crazy!

I was looking  at pictures from the 2010 spring fashion week in New York, and I  fell in love with the clothes from Marchesa!!!! I had never heard of it before but now I'm a total convert!

 

  

  

  

 

London SHOPPING!

One of the best parts of going to London is the infinite shopping opportunities that can be found!

All the pretty wellies!! I think everyone should have some!

At the outdoor market they have vespas to sit on and enjoy your food!!!

Camden Market!!

This is funny, Olivia's boyfriend is called Aldo and when we saw this bag from ALDO we had to get a picture of it, so i was trying all descreetly to get the picture but she saw me and gave me the evil eye!! But i did get the picture!

Rachael is going to kill me for putting this up, but she looks sooo good. We were at this small shop and after we took this picture the owner got really mad at us! But it was worth it!!

Polvore... blues and purples!!

Hey there, I just recently found this really fun site called Polyvore!! Polyvore is an "easy-to-use web-based application for mixing and matching images from anywhere on the web" -those aren’t my words ,i thought the site expressed itself very well and way better than me when i was trying to explain it to others! Anyway this "application" lets you create sets made of individual pictures from the wed!! I like it because you can also see sets made by ALL the other people on the site... it’s really creative and diverse!!!

This is the first one that i did, kinda like my trial run, I called it Winter blues and Purple!! ohh yes i can feel the creativity running through my body… or maybe that’s the cup of coffee I just had, hmm hard to tell!!!! I based my set off of a dress I fond looking through the forever21 dresses, after that I found the shoes and jacket and the rest pretty much seemed to fit in!

This is one of my favorite sets that I found! It makes me want to wrap up in a blanket while it’s snowing and eat ginger bread and hot chocolate! I LOVE the red and brown pallet on this one!

SHOPPING!!!

I went shopping the other day (and i haven’t been in soooo long because i've been pretty much broke for a month) and i'm REALLY really excited about what i got:

1st- I’ve been looking for what they call a boyfriend blazer ( its like a mans blazer- hence the name “boy-friend” as if you stole it from your man on your way out the door!!) and I finally found ONE!!!!! Its really fun and its got this big pin thing on the front!!!! And best of all I matches the rubber boots that I got later! I’ve been playing around the idea of getting some “wellys” ( as the British call them) and I saw these in a kind of home decorating store and i gott’m…. needless to say that put me over my money limit and so I plan to spend the rest of the week cleaning and re-organizing to earn the money back so I can repay my parents , but it was totally worth it!!!
Went I got home I had Olivia snap some pictures of the new additions of my closet… and I had to just jump up on the table… it was pretty fun!

fashion!!

its been so hot latley as the summer dies down so in between running to the beach every now and then, and hiding i the house - i've had time to look at alot of fashion, having resently been to new york i was inpired by what i saw!!!

Check out those SHOES!!!
