Do you like 3.1 Phillip Lim? Join my $100 Shopbop gift card giveaway! :D

Happy Tuesday, everyone! :D

I am finally done with school – I had my last final this past Saturday, and spent the weekend and Monday keeping my school stuff and getting my room in order. Guess what else I did? I was able to scan some more magazine pages to share with you guys. I also looked through my blog photos, and organized them – I am hoping to get my blog posting schedule back in order. :D

To celebrate my being done with school and summer being just around the corner, why not have a fabulous $100 Shopbop gift card giveaway?! Yup, you read it right! Jeffrey over at Shopbop contacted me last week in order to give one of you, my amazing blog friends, $100 to spend on anything you want on www.shopbop.com!

As you all probably already know, Shopbop is a leading distributor of designer clothes, shoes, and bags. Not to mention, a favorite among us bloggers. I bought one of my favorite winter coats from them – it’s something I will probably wear for years to come. :)

I was just browsing their site, and saw some of the most amazing 3.1 Phillip Lim shoes.

Brancusi Wood Platform Booties

Espie Soft Top Espadrille Flats

… and 3.1 Phillip Lim sunglasses.

Doctora Aviator Sunglasses

Newman Sunglasses

Since I am turning 21 this coming July, I thought why not look at and invest on some designer brands like 3.1 Phillip Lim. I am still all for bargain hunting and buying stylish clothes for less, but it doesn’t hurt to “window shop”, right? ;) And when it comes to buying designer brands, Shopbop is one good place to turn to!

Celebrity Marketplace: Spring Collections

Happy Wednesday! :D

I know there are a lot of celebrities out there who have their own fashion lines, but I don't really have anything from any of those collections.

Have you bought anything from any celebrity fashion line?

Here are some items that caught my eye from some celebrity Spring collections:

Jessica Simpson Collection:

Tulip Tunic Dress, $128

This dress is soooooo pretty! I can imagine this worn to a graduation, or a casual summer backyard wedding. :)

Naomi Satchel, $108

This bag is available in other colors, but I really love this yellow one.

Cactus, $79

Wedges are great - they give you height while still being comfortable.

Olsenboye for JCPenney:

I'm not sure if this line is just for teenagers, but they have really cute stuff (and so affordable too!).

Lace Ruffle Dress, $24.99

I think a dress like this should be a staple in our summer wardrobe. :)

Bow Front Tank Dress, $24.99

This one is cute for a day out - shopping and running errands.

Isabelle sandals, $40 (on sale for $29.99)

House of Harlow 1960:

Oval Finger Ring, $35

My classmate was wearing this ring the other day, and it looks so good when worn!

Tribal Circle Pendant with Cabochons in Gold/Coral, $145

I love the combination of gold and coral.

Coin Drop Earrings, $97

I can imagine this worn with simple jeans and a white tee - make sure the earrings take center stage! ;)

I love Lauren Conrad's style! I love her California girl look. Her clothes are the kind of clothes I wear. :)

Eyelet Peasant Top, $44 (on sale for $33)

Cuffed Linen shorts, $40

Ruffle Blouse, $34 (on sale for $25.50)

Floral Satin Skirt, $44 (on sale for $33)

*Ummm, I just realized I forgot to look at Beyonce's Dereon line... ooops... maybe, next time?*

But anyway, have you bought any items from any of these celebrity fashion lines? Which of these did you like the best?

Spring's Top Trends: A Recap

Happy Thursday! :)

I've been totally off this week - yesterday I thought it was Thursday, today I thought it was Wednesday! Weeeeeiiird. And I didn't know that it was American Idol's finale last night, but anyway, yay Scotty! ;)

I am excited that the semester is almost over! One thing I'm gonna miss about going to school though is planning my outfits, haha! But that's okay, there's a whole summer for me to dress up.

These past few months I've really tried to change up my style - I started wearing clothes that I would never even think about wearing before, I started using some of my bolder accessories that I haven't touched in years... And it's fun! :D

What about you, have you been changing up your style?

These magazine pages from People go through Spring's top trends, which I'm pretty sure should spill over to Summer. Are there any new Summer fashion trends?

1. Fun Stripes

2. White Shirts

I have some white blouses and plain white tees, but I don't have button-downs. I need to get some. :)

3. Bright Colors

I started wearing my colored jeans again, but I have yet to try wearing bright colors a la Camilla Belle.

4. Trouser Jeans

I don't really have trouser jeans, but my sister gave me some of her linen pants that are on the long side - I was able to wear them like high-waist jeans. :)

5. Pretty Florals

6. Maxi Skirts

I have to get some maxi skirts - but, I am wearing a midi skirt right now. :D

7. Animal Prints

Another trend I love, but my closet lacks!

Which of these seven trends do you like the most? Have you been sporting any of them lately? :D

2011 Cannes Film Festival

Happy Friday!

Yay, the weekend is finally here! Only two more weeks left 'til summer for me! :D

I kicked off my summer posts with Swim Guide: 10 Best One-Pieces, and I was gonna make some Polyvore sets for a day at the beach, but I just wasn't feeling it. Has that ever happened to you? Like your creative juices just wasn't flowing, do you know what I mean? ;P

But anyway, I was looking at photos from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. So, while I am suffering from "blogger's block" (hahaha, get it, writer's block?), I thought I'd just share some photos from Cannes.

Kirsten Dunst - Looking at her photo, I realized something: I miss seeing her in movies! The last movie I saw her in was... oh gosh, I can't even remember, Spider Man 2?

I think she looks pretty here. I am loving everything about this look. :)

Zoe Saldana - Gorgeous! I love this dress on her. :)

Gwen Stefani - A lot of the articles I read raved about Gwen Stefani's Cannes looks.

And well, she does look amazing!

Rachel McAdams - Love her! :D

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz - My favorite Johnny Depp character has to be Willy Wonka, haha! What about you?

And Penelope Cruz = wow!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - Not my favorite look on Angelina, but kudos to these two for showing everyone that they really are the real deal. I really do hope they stay together forever.

Dev Patel and Freida Pinto = awwwwww! :)

Blake Lively and Leonardo di Caprio - So, I guess they're together? They're flirting?

Why does Blake Lively get everything??? Hahahaha. ;)

I love her outfit, though! :)

So, yup, that's about it for this post. I really gotta get my stuff together -- gotta plan my future blog posts. :)

Oh, I just finished reading Emily Giffin's Something Borrowed... although reviews aren't that good, I'm gonna go see the movie one of these days. Then perhaps, a post on the book and the movie? :)

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! :D

Swim Guide: 10 Best One-Pieces

Hey, guys!

Sorry I haven't been on here for days now. I was planning to scan the Royal Wedding People issue I have for a Wedding Wednesday post, but I didn't have time -- soon, I promise (if you guys still want them)! ;)

The weather here in L.A. has been pretty erratic -- freezing cold and rain, and then sunny and warm! But anyway, I look forward to Summer and having free days to hang out by the pool or go to the beach. :D

If I'm gonna be going to the beach, I need a cute swimsuit, don't I?

I've never worn a two-piece in my life, and I don't think I ever will. Fortunately, there are a looooot of cute one-pieces available now. :)

Here are some of the best one-pieces according to www.fabsugar.com:

1. Lisa Fernandez Maillot ($390)

2. Zimmermann crochet and mesh suit ($345)

3. Missoni Mare suit ($156)

4. Marc by Marc swimsuit ($164)

5. Miraclesuit one-piece ($146)

6. Topshop suit ($64)

7. Nycked swimsuit ($144)

8. Lisa Curran one-piece ($195)

9. Thayer swimsuit ($176)

10. Seventh Wonderland shirred suit ($273)

My picks are #s 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10.

What about you?

I probably won't be getting those exact ones (because I think they're a bit expensive... you know me and my bargain-hunting ways, haha), but at least I have an idea what to look for. :D

The weekend is almost here, yay! :D
