Favorite... What?

Glamorous Green by mimosasonmondays featuring cotton scarves

I used to hate when I was younger and everyone always asked me what my favorite color was. I'm pretty sure I picked a different color every time. Not sure if that was out of spite or just frustration. I believe that when it comes to favorite colors, there is no way to have just one. My question is "favorite color for what?" I have a favorite color of clothes to wear, favorite color to decorate with, favorite color of car, favorite color of shoes, even favorite color of hair or eyes. There is no way to just pick one. But I do know for sure that one of my favorite colors to wear... next to black that is... is green.  


What is your favorite color... to wear that is?

Good or Evil? That is the Question.

Black Swan by mimosasonmondays featuring kate spade jewelry

I know that I'm a little behind the times (okay... more like 6 months behind) on the movie scene but I finally got around to watching Black Swan a few weeks ago and was both perplexed and shocked. Surprisingly, I had not talked to anyone about the movie before I finally watched it; except to hear a person here or there say that they loved it, so I had no expectations or preconceived thoughts going into it. I also didn't know much of the story line except from what I had seen in previews.

You can imagine the shock that I was in as I watched the movie with my jaw dropped for all 108 minutes. I'm not sure if I would place Black Swan in the genre of Horror Films... maybe a Thriller... but I was definitely on the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie and a little scared to turn off the lights when it finally ended around 1AM. Natalie Portman brought an element to her role that we have never seen from her before. Her struggle between good and evil bordered the brink of insanity. She was brilliant in both her portrayal of this struggle and in the elaborate perfection of her dancing. 

I would highly recommend that you watch the movie if you have not seen it yet. I will forewarn you that there are several graphic scenes that I was definitely not expecting but the movie is a must see for its pure genius directing and Oscar Winning acting.

Have you seen Black Swan? And if so, what did you think?

Blair Waldorf... Trend or No?

I would be lying if I didn't admit that I used to be am slightly obsessed with Blair Waldorf. Yes, she has some outrageous fashion sense and can wear some odd style combinations but she is always dressed so classy and borderline haughty. One fashion trend that I fell follower of a few years ago were her headbands. You know what I'm talking about... the bigger the better. Well the question now is: "What age is too old to wear headbands?"

I own some gorgeous headbands; including a feathered headband similar to the one above (except mine is navy, brown and emerald... much prettier.) A few times, I have tried it on before leaving the house and loved it with several outfits but I never leave with it on because I'm worried that it makes me look too young (which is not hard to do.)

Now I'm asking you. Do you think that headbands should be left to the world of teeniboppers? If Blair can pull it off, why can't I?

Dutchess in J Brand

This past week, the Duchess of Cambridge herself, Kate Middleton's outfit while trotting around good ole Canada was nothing short of "to die for." No, I'm not talking about the gorgeous dresses that she's been seen in since the wedding; instead she was casual and classy in J Brand 811 Skinny Jeans, a Nike Anorack jacket and Sebago boat shoes (which I'm dying to get my hands on... if only I could read the French on the website where I finally found them in tan and white!)

This fashion statement that I'm so in love with has caused quite a ruckus in the style media. Supposedly it is a crime to be seen wearing the same clothing item more than once!?! The Duchess wore the same J Brand jeans three times while she was visiting Canada... Heaven Forbid! The way I see it, if the girl looks so good in a pair of jeans then it'd be crime not to wear them more than once. I know that I definitely have a favorite pair of jeans that I no doubt wear at least once a week... if not two days in a row.

The more I see of the new royalty, the more I fall in love with her style and poise. Now if only I could get my hands on her closet; then we would be in business.
