Friday Flick Picks

Quirky, dorky, adorableness are the three words I'll use to describe Wes Anderson's latest movie Moonrise Kingdom. This movie has a cute, childlike way and humor about it that reminds me of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Which is perhaps why I liked it so much over many other Wes Anderson movies. It's the perfect summer movie because it encapsulates all the things you hope your summer would be as a child: (or an adult for that matter) romance, adventure, rebellion, camping, and dance parties on the beach.

This movie is all about the details too. From the patches on the khaki scout uniforms to the letterheads on the stationary, it's all so brilliantly thought out. For people in the field of styling or design this movie will make your heart happy. Make it a point to see this movie, you won't be disappointed.


I'm a sucker for cute movie posters, so I couldn't resist showing off a few others I found around the web.

#1 Accomplished!

The whole reason I started the 30 Before 30 list was so I could have a documented declaration of my desire to get another tattoo. The thought was I'd feel really guilty if I didn't go through with it; so I can goof off on the 20 or so I have remanding now that this one is out of the way. I kid, I kid! I was inked a little less than a month ago, but I've been wanting this particular tattoo for 2 years. The idea came from the little birds in Cinderella who make her ball gown. It's a way to represent my love for all things girlie and cute. I mean the little birds have eyelashes for goodness sake, does it get any cuter than that?

This was by far the most painful obstacle on the list so things like planning a trip and cooking a meal should be a piece of cake!


P.S. If you live in Lexington, and are looking for a talented tattoo artist, Stu at Bleed Blue Tattoo Shop will hook you up!

A Perfect Match

shirt: Urban Outfitters, skirt: Anthropologie, sandals: Steve Madden, necklace: Stella and Dot

I had a girls night out last week and made my girlfriend play photographer for an outfitting post. Who knew having someone else's help could show my whole outfit from head to toe so easily? I absolutely love this skirt but I feel like I never knew what to pair with it. Bright orange and purple are tricky combination to match; of course simplicity is always the answer! Gray t-shirt will I ever run out of uses for you?
