Latest Obsession - Alexander McQueen for Target

I just can't wait until it's here (March 1) . Two of my favorite things will finally blend together. I'm not a huge fan of pink, so I'll have to buy the other pieces. I love the menswear influences and that amazing dress in the first photo. I'll also definitely be buying that leather vest and possibly the black trench!

Latest Obsession - Gifts from bf

1. Campfire Candle - Fred Flare
2. Coming and Going Coat Rack - UO
3. Wood Grain Log Pillow - I Heart Norwegian Wood
4. Suede Fringe Crossover Bag - UO

Yesterday my boyfriend (our male model) Brad and I celebrated Christmas together. He's never around during Christmas because he goes out and visits family, so we usually have to have a separate night devoted to the holiday together. This year was exceptionally great because I got the best presents ever. The Suede Fringe Crossover Bag was actually from Brad's family. Hooray for early Christmas presents.

Latest Obsession - Lost

I made what I think was a HUGE mistake last week. I noticed that they had every single episode of Lost available free online. This is a show I've always wanted to start watching. I know a lot of people that are obsessed with it. I just knew it would take a long time to watch 4 seasons all the way through before it premiers next month. Well, I started last week. I'm almost done with season one, but it's consumed nearly 20 hours of my life already. Should I continue, or was this a bad idea? Hellllppp!

Latest Obsession - Colbert Christmas

Did you see it? The Colbert Christmas special premiered the other night on Comedy Central. It was absolutely hilarious. Colbert featured some of his best friends like Jon Stewart, Willie Nelson, Leslie Feist, John Legend and Elvis Costello! It was thrilling, my favorite part was definitely the opening scene. Oh Joy, I hope you saw it. If not, i'm sure it'll be on a few more times before christmas! You can also buy it HERE for $12.99!

Latest Obsession - Heima

Heima, a film by one of my favorite bands Sigur Ros is the reason for this lovely post. Heima was playing at the AFI fest last year, but I couldn't get tickets in time. I forgot about this film, until last week when I saw it playing on the Sundance Channel. If you don't know much about Sigur Ros, that's okay. Although Heima is mostly Sigur Ros' live performances, it seems like so much more than just that. Heima is a captivating look into a beautful country, Iceland, and its beautiful people. I knew I loved Iceland before this film thanks to Anythony Bourdain and Sam Brown, but I'd never seem Iceland in such a way as I saw it in Heima. The film takes you through a sting of free performances Sigur Ros gave through the beautiful countryside of Iceland. You get to look into the lives and hearts of the Icelandic people and see the natural beauty of the landscapes. Ah, what I would give to be there right now. As the members of Sigur Ros explain, Iceland is a country seemingly untouched by modern mankind. If you're at all interested in Iceland, Sigur Ros or just beautiful things...I highly recommend you find this movie and buy it.

Whether you like it or not, Barack Obama is going to be the 44th President of the United States. This could be difficult news for many of you, seeing as John McCain was a fantastic candidate no matter which way you look at it. The way I see it, Barack Obama was the best choice not only for the United States, but for the whole world. In 22 countries across the globe polled on which candidate they wished to be president. The results were 3-4:1 for Obama. That's huge. By electing Obama, we've not only done something great for our country but we've also began rebuilding our reputation as a powerful, respectable empire. One thing I saw by the numbers last night was that we are a country tired of the past 8 years of administration. I'm especially impressed with young voters. I am a young voter like most of you. This election was something that I felt a part of. I felt responsible for rebuilding what our previous generations have mistakenly hurt in this country. Any way you look at it, it's time for something different. It's time to step up and show our government that we're unhappy and fed up, and that's exactly what we've done. John McCain was a good candidate as well. He had some great policies and was a true fighter for our country. It's hard to argue with such a dedicated candidate such as McCain, he's a great man. His concession speech was graceful and dignified, be proud if you voted for him. But most importantly, whether you voted McCain or Obama last night, it's very important to fully support Obama as he is inagurated in January. He may have different views than you, but it's so important that we come together as a country and back our new office so that we can begin rebuilding America. Thanks everyone for voting!

Sun Jar: want or need?

I'm just ecstatic about this product. Urban Outfitters is now selling something called a Sun Jar. It's a solar powered jar that charges up during the day and provides continuous soft light at night! It's recommended to be used as a garden light or night light (which I need neither), so I'm just trying to figure out if this is in fact a want or a need. I think I need it, it's amazing! Click HERE to shop for the sun jar.
