Fanning Fan in La la land

As I was watching this trailer of what looks to be a magical movie, I couldn’t help but think, “Omigosh, this would be the perfect role for Dakota Fanning if she were still, like, 8 years old.” Then, I thought a little bit more to myself, “Hmmm, this little girl’s resemblance to Dakota is uncanny.” Uhhhh, yeah, that’s because it’s Dakota’s little sis, Elle, (holy whoa, I just got 10 x’s more excited)! Am I a true Fanning Fan or what?

I’ve been on the prowl for my own version of these for a while, now.

The Veronicas

Remember when I used to always talk about The Veronicas. I still want to. I love them.

Glad America is finally catching on.

Today started with a day at the dentist. This is the first thing I saw:

He was cute.

Then I took a little trip on my own to do some vintage shopping. I tried on about 12 dresses, but could only bring myself to buying one cause the others just didn’t really do anything for me…and if I did buy them, it would have been “just because” and not because I felt a special connection with them. BUT, I did find exactly the hat I’ve been looking for…except in the wrong color. However, I still love it, and I actually may love it more, now, just because of that. Besides my new hat, my favorite purchase was this vintage t-shirt. It’s so rad, and I want to describe it here, but sadly, I’ve decided it’s too awesome for me keep and I’m going to gift it to a friend. It’s really meant for her to wear and not for me. Boooo for me…yay for her!

After my little excursion, I felt like I was in need of a little movie time. It was raining, and I was in the mood to watch Factory Girl (a film about Edie Sedgwick).

Seriously, I’m so intrigued by her that I feel the need to know more. Angela suggested I read Edie: American Girl, and I think I just may (after I finish the 3 books I’m still reading). I love how she lived life. I know she was all messed up with drugs and stuff, but there was something originally there (without the drugs) that made her so appealing to me. She was extremely vulnerable and naive, but her love was so carefree. Part of that makes me so jealous.

Things on the internet that made me swoon today

Here we go:

Number 1, brought to you by miss Perry Greenspan. Unicorn Chaser. Quite personally, I think it’s an April Fool’s joke, but I’m secretly hoping it’s not…every unicorn needs it’s magic potion.

Number 2, more unicorns. I came across this print on Heart-Shaped Morning, and I, flat out, had to buy it. So I did. Now, I’m waiting impatiently for it’s arrival.

Number 3, glorious 80’s rainbow garb. My heart sunk when I got outbid on it from ebay, but it only makes me want to search all the flea markets in the world for something near similar to it. I’m actually extremely excited to report, though, that my mom and I have already planned out a whole summer of thrift shopping. Can’t wait to see what finds I can come up with.

Number 4, from Preen’s fall 2009 ready-to-wear collection. Am I THAT predictable?

Number 5, something a lil’ out of my norm. Sweet and so innocent. This daybed seems so cozy and a bit dreamy to me. I simply adore it. And look at the plywood walls! via Look Mom.

Perfect way to end this post…with a bed. Gnight, my lovelies.

Wanna-see movies

Where the Wild Things Are
This movie makes me think I’ll miss being just a kid and having the wildest imagination.

500 Days of Summer
Minus the fact I used to have a huge crush on Joseph-Gordon Levitt and now have the biggest girl crush on Zooey Deschanel, this might be a contender for a spot on my “all-time favorites” list. We shall see…I can’t wait for it to come out.

Coraline
Something so beautiful about the creation of this makes me think of it like a French film.

Will you dance with me?

I really wanna dance to their song.

Bijules

I’m afraid this might make Dagger hyperventilate:

Not only is it gold nails…it is Nicole Ritchie in gold nails. And not only is it nails, but it’s a ring, too. They’re called Bijules and have this ultra cool ring-like thing to dress them precious talons. Do ya dig?

Distracted

I’ve been all sorts of preoccupied lately. Little things, big things…but most importantly, real things. I guess that sounds weird, but sometimes I forget to appreciate the things that make up life. Even if it’s not something desirable, it is still, in some way, effective to create or lead to something wonderful. I forget about how many times I get so disappointed or even get so heartbroken over something…only to come to find out later in life that this has all lead to something even bigger and better.
