Always a kid at heart

Not only do I find myself being attracted to the same things as little kids, e.g. Hello Kitty, Disney Princesses, and pink glitter. I also find myself loving their clothes from time to time too. Up until now I've been able to keep it contained to the girls Crew Cut line for JCrew, but it has now spilled into the Brooks Brothers kids line too. JCrew appeals to my quirky, frilly, girlie side, whereas Brooks Brothers speaks to the preppy, tennis playing, madras side of my personality. I either need to find a way to start shrinking or find a child I can kidnap for the afternoon to dress up with. The cuteness is maddening! 

Spring Time Blues

top: Old Navy, pants: Express, shoes: Miz Mooz

Don't worry guys, nothing is giving me the blues; except these pants! I am so on board with all the bright colors and neon colors of clothing I'm seeing everywhere. So I had to find a way to incorporate them into my wardrobe for spring. Straight, cuffed, and cropped, Express created the perfect style of pants for me.  The royal blue pants I purchased reminded me of blue jeans, so I could feel like I was easing myself into the trend. Perhaps by April or May I'll be ready for hot pink and banana yellow.

Oscar Night

The Oscars are coming! This is my version of the Super Bowl people. I do research, I read articles, compare stats, fill out ballots, and pride myself in watching almost all the movies nominated for big awards. I've seen The Artist, Midnight in Paris, Tree of Life, The Help, and Moneyball. Today is my final cram day to fine tune and tweak last minute winners to my ballot decisions. I would of course, love to see Midnight in Paris win but I'm thinking The Artist will take the best picture prize on Sunday. I usually do two ballots one for my "will wins" the other with my "wish would win." Brad Pitt, Rooney Mara, Jonah Hill and Jessica Chastain will be circled on that version. Jean Dujardin, Viola Davis, Christopher Plummer, and Octavia Spencer will be on the former. (I think, these are still subject to change!)

Print your ballots here, Oscar bingo card here (my favorite tradition), follow along with my twitter here to catch my thoughts on the show and how my picks come out. Happy Oscar viewings my little movie apples!
