The Criterion Collection Edition of Rushmore
Anyone that knows me personally knows that I love Wes Anderson with all my heart. He is not only forever my top man crush monday choice but he is also someone I look up to for his humorous storytelling abilities. The first Wes Anderson film that I ever saw was Rushmore and it will forever be my all-time favorite movie. Max Fischer played by a young Jason Schwartzman makes the act of borderline psychotic stalking and destruction of property almost cute and lovable (correction, only when he does it). Bill Murray also shines in one of his most serious yet funny character roles as Mr. Blume. Rushmore is a film that I continually recommend to close friends and family members. I even used one of Max Fischer's lines as my own yearbook quote for christ's sakes! I am obviously obsessed.
"I've saved Latin, what did you ever do?" - Max Fischer.
Nothing, until I saw this movie.
Coco Mademoiselle Chanel Perfume
I have loved and been obsessed with this fragrance for a while now. It goes with any occasion and outfit, I personally enjoy it with a simple white slouchy shirt and dark wash jeans with flats. It smells like roses in a gorgeous full garden...and what I think Cate Blanchett would smell like (don't ask me why, cause I'm not sure). It's surely a fragrance that deserves to be on the top cabinet of everyone's drawers. Do I like it more than the classic Chanel No.5 perfume? While I can't compare it to such an icon, I can say that this version is more sensual yet sweeter than No. 5. It's like Chanel No.5's younger and adventurous sister...who happens to live in a chic yet small apartment in France.
Kindle Fire HD
Okay, this is the thing that I cannot put down or keep away from my sight! I just want to announce that I am in love with my Kindle Fire! It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received and encourage everyone to get one! I've read many amazing books since receiving it and enjoy toting it around in my purse while I'm on the train or bus. It kills time and I can download my books quick and easy. I've read Just Kids by Patti Smith, which is an AMAZING book and currently re-reading Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart. If there is anything that I love. it's the ability to carry over twenty different books and PDFs in my purse/backpack!
Tieks Flats by Gavrieli
I ADORE FLATS! Not only are they comfortable and effortlessly chic BUT they really compliment any sort of outfit one might have. These are great because of the cushion, which provides the ease without any of the bulkiness other flats have. The flats even came with two bags: a tote bag and a small bag for the flats as well as a thank you card written personally by the Tieks team! TOO AWESOME! This all wrapped up in an adorable little box with a flower ontop! I adore these flats and will wear them from the local grocery market to a night out with friends.
Also, did I mention the rad color-blocking of the soles?! Cause it's preeeeettty rad!
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté in No. 9 Nude in Private
Lipsticks are lipsticks, am I right? Many will disagree with me on this statement (especially those who have makeup blogs). Now, I'm not saying that there isn't a difference between certain lipsticks. Some have better pigments, longer lasting power, better scent, and overall full coverage. There is no argument there, but for someone like me (who still is in college and cannot afford to spend money on high-end brands of lipsticks) I can't afford to spend my money on just any old brand. However, the difference of this Yves Saint Laurent lipstick is the pleasant smell and moisture it leaves on lips. No. 9 also known as Nude in Private is a pinkish nude/beige that I can just swipe on and head out the door.
Now, I am not saying that people should go out and spend over thirty dollars on a tube of lipstick. What I am saying is that if you do decide to buy a high-end brand, make sure it'll be one that you'll get a lot of use out and can go with many different things in your wardrobe. Think of it more as an investment piece. Any lipstick that you wear every now and then, then it's better to get it from the local drugstore. This brand and color just happens to be one of my favorites.
Lindt Lindor Truffles
I adore chocolate and one of my favorite brands is Lindt. Sometimes a girl just wants to come home, slip on their slippers and stain covered hoodie, watch crime shows on Investigation Discovery and melt away with some chocolates. Some of my favorites range from white chocolate to milk and peanut butter. Each one melts in your mouth (especially the white chocolate! So good!). IF you're having a hard day or just feel like treating yourself, Lindt is the to-go brand for chocolate...well, one of my to-gos.
Some favorites in the New Year!
Much love!
