I absolutely adore Liv Tyler. She's always been on top of it with her style, never over the top, always spot on. When she cut all her hair off into that cute pixie, I debated short hair. Then came 2008 and the hair cut that I am determined to have in a year or 2, the amazing 80s bob.
I dedicated this entry to Liv because I saw this photo and then I started having flashes of all the fun choices she's made in clothes via the carpet & the street.
To start with this particular outfit I was instantly drawn to her oxfords, I can't wait to get more in my shoe collection and wear em this spring, they're so cute!! I remember when I went to private school and was made to wear oxfords and I despised them, dreaded the days I wore them, but now they've made their staple on the fashion world and I am definitely more open minded than I was at age 10. Next, she's wearing denim & high waisted trousers which are both making a big stink this year. Extremely excited about the high waisted pants because I think they can be dressed up with a nice button up or silk blouse or you can just throw a t shirt on and you're off.
Lets go ahead and get the sad out of the way. I was informed via a friend via Facebook, that Maggie Mudd is closing their doors on April 3rd. Granted I haven't been in about a year, but this ice cream is amazing and vegan friendly, which is how I came to know of it, thanks to Chris. The article says that the location is bad and that their doors may return at a different spot later on but I think part of the reason its so likable is that its out there and I always enjoyed the hunt for a place to park, it made the reward of amazing ice cream that much better! The creamcicle milkshakes were to die for and their sundaes!!! MM, you will be missed.
Now to recover from that blow, I'd like to first bring up a movie that I'm super jazzed about seeing;
It looks gorgeous, the cinematography is going to be absolutely stunning coupled with amazing actors. Sean Penn is one of my most favorite actors, every movie he has done has got me emotionally charged; Dead Man Walking, I Am Sam, Mystic River, At Close Range:
When I saw Live To Tell as a kid, I was obsessed with seeing the movie and it wasn't til the last 8 years or so that I actually bought it and finally watched it, I definitely recommend it. But that's me getting off track, point is Sean Penn* is brilliant and I can't wait to see him in another movie. Yes, of course Brad is a fairly decent actor himself and not hard on the eyes so I guess I'm excited about him as well. Point is this movie is going to be one to see and talk about, you just get a soothing feeling watching the previews (at least I do) and it also makes me want to watch The Fountain lol, not that I need an excuse because I watch it like its my job as it is already. But the cinematography & the Tree of Life combo, yeah. This movie is probably going to be one of those I can watch non stop. Be excited, be be excited!
Another rad thing that actually happened last night was the second annual Runway To Green. A fundraiser with help of major designers that donates a portion of the proceeds to environmental organizations. I was seeing random tweets from Coco & Net-A-Porter about the auctions, specifically the front row seats to a Chanel show & meeting Karl and dinner with Harrison Ford (I'd be down Docta Jones!) Its a pretty rad thing, and you can now buy the runway looks on Net-A-Porter and help the cause(s).
Ok, in random web cruising I see a sidebar headline "Scarlett & Sean make it official..."! Wow, what? Ok, I don't dislike Scarlett Johanson, but this is just weird to me. Also the article I read said "Both are coming off unsuccessful marriages --to Ryan Reynolds and Robin Wright." I'm sorry, I thought Sean & Robin were quite successful with 14 years together, but that could just be me.
As much a babe as David Beckham is on his own, seeing this picture & being reminded of what a stud Gaspard is is like heaven. Make a Reggie sammich please:

Eff!
Hearing Jeff Bridges voice on tv
Hot tea
My long "hospital patient" skirt. I got it at a thrift store 3 years ago, floor length, white AND pockets. I don't know what else it would be from/for, with an "ID # ______ Official Identification Registered Status" on the front waistband lol.
Notification from Lion Brand that my yarn is officially en route!
Julia Roberts singing "... and your *smooch smooch smooch smooch smooch* Kiiihiiis"
Making me want to watch her Oscar speech, which are a huge guilty pleasure anyhow, but she's absolutely hilarious and she contains one of THE BEST laughs to come out of a being!!
Thats all for now, but these were the small things that brought a smile to my face at the moment
My friend just asked what my room looked like. Alas, I'm currently in Modesto, living in my mom's "office", which was formerly my room. So it's small, cramped, but I love my closet & clothes :)
When you first walk in my room, this is what greets you. Along with A storage box of scarves & a box of purses, sitting next to a portion of my crocheting/yarn stuffs.
Entering my closet, this shows where I stash my 100 or so t shirts, where I pile extra shoes & the dresses that I never thought I'd accumulate:
top rack
bottom rack
shelvage
face & shoe station
When I move and have more room (which I mostly want for my clothes and shoes), it will be amazing. But for now I make due with the room I have and try to keep my shit organized a bit.
