one of my favorite films of all time

I wish this was me. Minus the whole beheaded part...but still. :)

Someone take me here soon?

Successful day of shopping.

I love Urban Outfitters forever.

"Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain." -Billie Holiday

I love these. All photos taken by The Cherry Blossom Girl.

I don't understand why people are so surprised that I'm following my dreams. Shouldn't everyone be doing what they love? I think people are afraid to take risks. I've noticed it's really rare for people to actually follow their dreams and do what their passionate about, It's going to be a lot of hard work but I know I can do it. I am so excited.

Why can't actresses give speeches like this anymore?

She talks with such elegance, class, and grace. Actresses today need to take example of these classy ladies from the 40's-50's.

Igor + André

Igor + André's artwork is absolutely beautiful, it inspires me to become a better artist! I wish I knew what he used in his artwork, It looks like it could be charcoal or water color? What do you think of it? Here's the blog, http://igorandandre.blogspot.com/2008/04/first-post-intro.html

Wouldn't It Be Nice...

My heart, body, and soul belongs in Italy.

Boudoir: a woman's bedroom or private sitting room.

I like to think of my little vanity/desk as my boudoir.(2nd Picture) I put my make up and perfume on there everyday. It's never fun to go to school, so I like to make my mornings as peaceful and enjoyable as possible. I usually make some plain tea and listen to some of Dino's music or maybe some Regina Spektor. (I know, it's kind of cheesy, but I LOVE it!) Do you have a boudoir?

Just some inspirational photos...

Fred Astaire & Rita Hayworth

These videos always inspire me. You've got to love Fred Astaire! He's in so many of my favorite films. Rita Hayworth is absolutely gorgeous too.

Quote of the Week

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain

Make Up Inspiration: Whitney Port

I really love how Whitney Port did her make up in this photo! I'm always looking for ways to improve my eye make up because I'm horrible at it. My eyes are very similar to hers so I always enjoy seeing how she does her make up.

Dreamy Dresses

Feminine, elegant, romantic, and beautiful have to be my favorite words and these photos fit all of them. This lovely photo series was taken by The Cherry Blossom Girl at Maria Lucia Hohan's Atelier. The corset inspired/tan gown inspires me the most, I've always wanted to make something like that. I'm so jealous of whoever owns these gowns.

Chanel NO.5 Commercial with Audrey Tautou

This is from like a year ago, but i've never seen it on my television! It's such a beautiful commercial...I love these types a videos, and Audrey is amazing too!

J. Crew Fall 2010: Amazing Clothing

This is my favorite Ready-To-Wear Brand for Fall. I am in love with every piece of clothing that J. Crew has made. J. Crew never fails to amaze me. I fall more in love every season.

Italy

It's always been one of my dreams to go to Italy ever since I was a little girl(I'm pretty sure I knew that Italy existed before America. Haha!) I'm finally getting to go, but I still have 3 more years of waiting because I have to wait for High School to end. I'm pretty much crazy about Italy and I haven't even been there yet! I know I'm going to cry when I get off the plane or when I go to Tuscany, for some odd reason it's just an emotional thing for me. All of Italy is beautiful, but what's your favorite part of Italy or what part do you what to go visit or what country have you always dreamed of visiting? As much as I would love to go to all the big cities like, Rome, I'd rather go to the non-tourist areas and really get the full experience.
