Sweat With Style

I've been kicking up my exercise routine lately, and it may seem trivial, but having a cute outfit to exercise in means the world to me. I'm always on the prowl for new exercise gear, and these pieces from Stella McCartney's Adidas line are my favorite!

Sunny Running Tee


Chic Yoga Tank


Adorable Yoga Shorts

Emerald

I loved Sienna's look at the MTV Movie Awards (doesn't she look like she belongs in Emerald City?!) Simple dresses are my favorite- they are so refined and chic. I'm going to keep an eye out for a more casual version of this dress to wear out on summer nights..

100th Post and Floral Fever

Hooray hoorah, I have finally made it to the 100th post! I am very excited (although I'm sure 100 blog posts are nothing to the pro bloggers out there!) Floral has never been a favorite of mine, but its starting to grow on me.. what do you think? These dresses from Urban Outfitters are so flirty and offbeat, and I think floral would be a nice summer change for me!

Colleen's Wonderland

I went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago a few years ago, and Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle was on exhibit. It was magical and intricate, and it has always been my dream to recreate something like that for my daughter (if I only have boys, it could be a slight problem.) If you are ever in Chicago, make this exhibit a priority! Colleen Moore was a silent film star in the 1930's, and she donated the castle to the museum in 1949. Take a tour of the castle here- this wonderland includes the world's tiniest written bible, murals and paintings by Walt Disney, real Mother of Pearl floors, and real gold sinks and treasures! There is so much history in this castle, and the treasures inside have so much meaning- the entire thing is really fascinating. If only we were tiny enough to live in this whimsical fairyland...

The Princess' Bathroom
"Here in the Princess' Bathroom, the crystal walls are etched to tell the story of Undine. The tub is made of silver, and real water flows from the dolphin's mouths."

The Princess' Bedroom
"The bed is the one that Sleeping Beauty slept in. The bedspread is the gold spider web that covered her for 100 years. The chairs are platinum and set with real diamonds and emeralds. The floor is made of mother of pearl."

Oh, Shia..

So charming, so cocky, gotta love him...

Magical Fashion

When I was little, my mother gave me the most magical book in the world- Fairie-ality. It is a delicate book of pixie-style fashion- a collection of thoughts and dreams so innocent, the book itself is like a window into a girl's dreams. Take a peek at their site for bits and pieces from the book!

Summer Movie

This post may not seem entirely lovely, but I just had to tell everyone how excited I am to see Transformers 2! The first Transformers made me feel like a sexy/tough girl and I've been in love ever since! There is nothing sexier or cooler (or more fun!) than Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and Bumblebee battling the Decepticons. I am heading to the IMAX theater on Tuesday for the premier and you should too!
